A Now Story.
Tb publication of anew story will be
begun in the Morning News, Sunday,
Nov. .>), ami in the Weekly News Doc. 4.
It is entitled, “By Mutual Consent,” and is
by F. Maraden Sutcliffe. It is a story of
strong and original cast The following is
a brief outline of it:
A British officer, dying, entrusts the care
of his young and beautiful daught r to a
brother officer, the younger son of a bar
onet. The latter succeeds in obtaining her
reluctant consent and marries her. The
husband then appears in his true colors—a
roue and gambler of the first water. The
young wife finds herself unwittingly the de
ooy to draw rich prey to her husband's net.
A child is born, and for its sake she bears
the burden of an intolerable life. But the
child dies. At the unhappy wife’s sugges
tion they part, by mutual consent. They
are to meet as strangers. Romance is
quickly introduced into the story. Bhe as
sumes her maiden name—Winifred West—
and is next discovered as a nurse at a Lon
don hospital One of her patients, the
Hon. Claude Millett, a gentleman and an
artist, falls in lone with her. l.ady Fal
conridge, his mother, invites the gentle
nurse to stay with her in her Highland
home. Bhe gains the warmest affection of
the family. An attempt to extract from
her the secret of her life evokos only a flood
ef tears. In the meantime, Winifred’s hus
band has succeeded to a title and entailed
estates. He is startled on seeing her por
trait as “Helen of Troy’ at an exhibition of
his friend’s pictures. He meets his wife.
Bhe treats him with loathing and contempt.
He determines to enforce bis rights. Bhe
tells Claude all, and he offers unoonditionnl
anristanoe and sends her to his mother iu
Scotland. There are several exciting scenes
before the story is brought to a conclu
sion.
Atlanta is full, It is a meeting of tem
perance women, but every house is full.
It is said that Senator Sherman has again
bobbed up serenely without a bloody shirt
to hi* name.
Beggars are after-dinner speakers. But
ai ter-dinner speakers beggar description on
their own account.
An exchange tells us that a bank clerk
•‘stole systematically f>r years.” Well,
wnat if he did. Systematically isn’t good
to eat?
Theodore Thomas seems to have dis
covered that Chicago has musical feet.
They must be low base of the lowest and
basest sort.
Wyoming has elected J. N. Carey, the ex
delegate, to the United .States Senate, and
the legislature is now wrangling over the
next lucky man.
Now that tbo senatorial question is out of
the way it is probable that the people will
have a chanoe to see what sort of workers
alliance legislators are.
Col. Livings on and Dr. Macuue did not
proyo to be quite as big bosses in the alli
ance *-s they thought they were. With the
aid of their organs they managed to get
together about lai votes for their senatorial
candidate. Toe alliauca legislators, It
seems, are doing their own thinking.
Gordon's Victory.
Gov. Gorioc's victory a* Atlanta yesier
| day caused uo surprise. It was expected,
but tbe announcement of if was r-0.-.vei.
nevertheless, with tbe most profound sa’is
factioa in all parti of tbe state. N- other
man has so strong a hold upon the a le.'-
tioas of Gsorgm-u. And he w worthy of
their effec.ijn. Thr lugh.ut his
C'.reer he has been true to
them. In bis own affai-s he
has sometimes fa:lei In hi* efforts to
serve them he has niver failei In toe
military and civil offices which he has held
be has met exoectations —more than met
them, and that is why tbe people are ever
ready to place him in posit.otss of honor
and trust.
The contest in which he has just been
victorious was a arna ie one. Extraordi
nary effort* were made to array a great se
cret organization against him—an organi
zation wbico includes in its membership
three-fourths of the members of the legis
lature. Hai it not been for this organiza
tion—the Farmers’ Alliance—th° opposition
to him would not have attracted more than
a passing notice, because the forces that
joined with the alliance and endeavored to
defeat him for personal reasons were weait
and comparatively insignificant
Toe alliance, through its lea !er<, were
led to believe that he was hostile to its ob
jects and aimi It is true that he said that
be did mt approve one of the planks of the
j alliance platform, but that plank—the sub
treasury bill—is not approved by asy of the
leaning statesmen of the country, and has
not the remo-est chance of becoming a part
of the Initiation of tle country. The
alliance leaders, hosrevei, and some
"t the politician* of the state who desire I
• ien. Gordon's defeat male Gen. Gordon's
refusal to e idorse tat plans the b s s of
the opposition to him. They left nothin*
undone to unite the alliance members of
the legislature against him. They failed to
accomplish their object, because
there are aliiaacemen in the legislature
who could not be coaxed nor driven
into doing something against which their
judgments revolted. They knew that Gen.
Gordon was a better frieui of the farmers
than any other man whose name wui men
tioned for senator, and they honored and
re*pected him for his frankness with respect
to the sub-treasury bill. They understood
that if Gen. Gordon had remained
silent with respect to that bill
he would have had no opposition. They
preferred to trust a frank and fearless ma i
—one wno would rather suffer defeat than
deceive them—and they therefore voted for
Gei. Gordo i.
And the legislators who voted for Gen.
Gordon will never have cause to regret
having done so. As governor he has served
Georgia well and faithfully, and he will
serve her well aid faithfully in the Senate.
He is not an old man yet by any means.
He is only 58 years of age. His
physical condition is excellent, and his
mindie as clear and strong as when he as
Leo's right arm on the battlefields ot Vir
gin a.
Georgia has done well in electing Gen.
Gordon. No other one of bar sons is better
aole to represent her upon the floor of the
Senate. He will *ee to it that her interests
are properly cared for there, and that her
nflneneo is felt upon all proper occasions.
Parnell and the O’ohoa Case.
Mr. Parneil Joes not saem to think that
his connection with the O’Shea divorce suit,
wiil force him to give up the leadership of
the Irish parliamentary party. Ho has ad
dressed a note to the Irish members remind
ing them that parliament will meat Nov.
25, and that it u necessary that every one
of them should be present on the opening
day.
In England, however, the sentiment is
that his political career is at an end. His
refusal to defend himself in the divorce suit
is accepted as an admission of his guilt, and
the testimony given by O’Shea, the hus
band, standing as it does uucontradicted,
places him in such an unenviable position
that it is difficult to see how he can continue
to be the leader in a great reform move
ment.
It may b 9 true that the divorce suit was
a move of bis political enemies to drive him
from the leadership of his party, but that
does not lessen the moral effect of the result
of the suit. Had he defended the suit suc
cessfully, he would have been more popular
than ever. His virtual admissiou of guilt
can hardly fail to weaken his influence.
Mr. Eugene Kelly, the New York banker,
in speaking of the O’Shea divorce suit the
other day, said: *'lf the charge is proved
against Parnell, Irishmen will want no more
to do with him as a leader. Of course he
could vote on a question, but he would
never be looked upon as a fit man to intro
duce any measure looking to the relief of
Ireland. Not only will the clergy of Amer
ica cease to have anything more to do with
him, but the laity will act likewise To
think that a man like Parnell, whom we
have always looked upon as a pure man,
with his ability, his ancestry and his past
achievements, should mix himself up in
such a scandal! It must remove him fporn
that high pedestal upon which the Irish
have placed him.”
The opinion of Mr. Kelly is doubtless that
entertained by the great majority of Irish
men. Assuming that it is, can he remain at
the head of his party? It doss not seem
possible for him to do so. And if he is
forced to retire it will be a long time before
Ireland has another leader as able as he has
proved himself to be.
Dr. Macune is not a success as a manipu
lator of alliancßmen in senatorial contests.
Nor in congressional contests, either, for
that matter. It is understood that he at
tempted to run this congressional district.
The atmosphere of Washiugtou agrees with
him better than that of Georgia. The Geor
gia alliance cau get aloDg without him.
Mr. Norwood got a bigger vote in the sen
atorial election than it was generally sup
posed he would. Clearly the anti-Gordon
caucus mads a mistake in not nominating
him. But why didn’t it nominate him?
That is one of the things that have not yet
been satisfactorily explained.
Having done a good deal of personal re
greting Gen. Grosvenor of Ohio now
breaks out with the exclamation that “Wall
street and the commercial world already
regret the political disaster of Nov. 4.”
That is quite probable. It helped thorn to
bleed the public.
Now that he has been elected judge a
Kansas man is going to college to study
law. Thrifty man, that. Must have been
watching Ingalls. Probably he didn’t waut
to waste auy time studying law until he
knew that ha would have some use for it.
A good deal of Gordou enthusiasm was
uncorked in Atlanta yesterday. It is a
very catching kind of enthusiasm.
THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 19, IS9O.
C.eve.and and f amreany.
Tammany is hostile to Mr. Cheveland. and
does not faver his nomination for President
in 1992. From preseit i dicatioas. however,
he will be nominated notwithstanding
Tammany’s opposition. And it would not
beat a i surpr.s.ng if the greater part cf
tbe New York delegation to tbe national
convention should faver him. He is much
more popular in New York than tbe news
papers of that city would leal one to be
lieve. The mention of his name at public
gatherings is always followed by hearty ap
plauaa. The New York newspapers have
very little tj say in his favor. For reasons
not necessary to explain, he is not a favorite
with them.
j In the west and south he is the only man
; who is senoasly thought of in connection
with the next democratic presidential nom
ination. and ;f the democratic nati ooal con
vention were to meet bo-morrow be would
be nominated by acclamation. The reasons
: for this strong sentiment in hi* behalf are
; that be is regarded as tbe leader of the
tariff reform movement,an and his admin stra
j tion is remembered as one of the very beat
: tna country ever had. Even republicans
i admit that he was aa excelle it (’resident,
and there are thousands of them in all parts
of the country who would vote for ban if
he should be a pre liential candidate arain.
Gov. Hill is popular m New Y r ork, and he
ha* a small following outside of that city.
His following is not large enough, however,
anywhere to justify the belief that h 9 will
be the party's presidential candidate in
IN'2. In the recent campaign he did good
work for his party and won golden opinions
from democrats every where, but his popu
larity in comparison with that of Mr.
Cleveland, is c imperatively insignificant.
There will be a great deal said in his behalf
within the next eighteen mmths, but, in
spi’e of all Uis friends can do for him, he
will not be a prominent factor in the next
national democratic convention
It is true that Mr. Cleveland may make
some mistakes before tbe nominating con
vention meets in 1892 that will destroy his
chances for the nomination, but the proba
bilities are that he will not. lla has excel
lent judgment, and baring avoided malting
serious mistakes thus far, since leaving the
presidential office, the chances are that he
will not make any, and that he will be
more popular a year and a half hence than
he is now. Tammany will make a great
mistake if it e ntinuos to oppose him. It
cannot prevent his nomination, and the
proper thing for it to do, therefore, is to
submit gracefully to tbe inevitable.
Ships of Wonderful tpeed.
Baltimore witnessed the launching of a
steamship a few days ago which bids fair to
completely change modern methods of ship
building as well as oceau traffic. She is
called the Howard Cassard in honor of the
president of the Monumental Construction
Company, ner owners.
She is strictly a passenger sea-going
steamer, with no arrangements whatever
for carrying freight. It is claimed for her
that she is unburnable, unsinkable, and
cannot be foundered, and that soould a
storm at sea turn her bottom upward she
would right herself and come up like the
lively little duck known as the water witch.
She possesses this last property of righting
herself in a high degree because she has
four pounds’ weight under the water line
for every one pound above the water line.
The keel, which weighs 68,000 pounds,
acts not only as ballast, but as a center
board, inasmuch as nearly half of its
depth protrudes through the huil into the
water. On account of its extraordinary
rigidity the keel makes infinitely better en
gine and shaft bearings than the old method
of shipbuilding. The difference between
the safety compartments of the Cassard and
those of the old system is that the Cassard
has air as well as water-tight compart
mi nts, while the old systems have only
water-tight compartments. These safety
compartments on the Cassard number
about 170, of which li!6 are on either side of
tbe heart of the ship, thus forming practi
cally three ships in one.
The motive power is an improved com
pound engine, calculated to develop 1,600-
horse power, or an average speed of twenty
five miles an hour, with only a ton of coal
consumed. The valve gear is so perfected
that the valves may be opened and closed
in the twentieth of a second, thus giving
double the power for the same size engine.
The steering: gear is improved hydraulic,
with air cushion combinations. The labor
saving appliances about the ship and the
low temperature of fire-rooms are said to
be suporior to the every-day steamship.
The Cassard is 222 feet long over all, is 203
feet between perpendiculars, has 16 feet
breadth of beam and 18 feet depth of hold.
The vessel is made of rolled iron plates and
constructed on the cellular system. An ordi
nary steamer, it is said, would break in half
if taken from tbe water and only supported
et each end, while the Cassard, like a tubu
lar bridge with a hull on it, would support
several times its own weight if so tried.
The Cassard is only* two-fifths tbe proposed
dimensions of the standard steamers to be
built. The full-size steamers will allow the
introduction of many improvements. In
the large steamers every stateroom will
have its bath tubs, toilet and other conven
iences.
After the Cas3ard has been sufficiently
tested, a companion boat will be built and
they will ply between Baltimore and Ha
vana, carrying passengers,mail and express.
Later regular ocean steamers will be
started. It is claimed t hat the Cassard will
revolutionize shipbuilding, and that in the
future, instead of mixed service on the
ocean, there will be passenger steamships
and freight steamships just as on land
there are passenger and freight trains.
There will be no engine smell, no ship
smell, no kitchen smell, as the decks are air
and water tight. The ship vibration is
minimized on account of the great interlac
ing of slructure, the power all being located
beneath the denk on the rigid keel. Boats
run by this system will, it is said, be able tn
double their earning capacity, as no delay
will be caused by freight loading aad un
loading.
Coming off the ways she was accidentally
capsized, bat immediately righted herself,
thus verifying all expectations us to her
buoyancy. Now if she cau make the twenty
five mile3 an hour expected of her she will
prove the marvel she is described to be and
revolutionizs water transportation. Her
success is in the interest of civilization and
advancement, and therefore greatly to b3
desired.
Should Mr. Cleveland favor anybody in
tbe New York senatorial race he would be
most likely to second the nomination of
Mr. William C. Whitney, who was formerly
in his cabinet. And there is no reason why
Mr. Cleveland, as well as any other private
citizen, should not avow bis choice among
the candidate* for United States senator.

President Harrison said recently: “I am
surprised that newspaper publishers send their
representatives to me for an interview. They
must understand that I cannot talk excepl on
extraordinary occasions for publication Why,
if I should make it a rule to talk to representa

perhaps, in hot water also Ido not blame
newspaper publishers for trying to secure inter
views with me if therein accomplish it, but l
will not be interviewed."

Daniel Webster’s Joke.
“Dropping in to see a friend of mine one
rainy afternoon, years ago,“ said a noted hotel
man to a Boston Globe man, “I found a group
of four sitting in the office, composed of Daniel

Ho Got the Turtle.
However much of an unbeliever he may have
been before the opening of the Wellington hotel,
says the Chicago Post, since that event tbe
chef's faith in the efficacy of prayer has been
unquestioned by even the suggestion of a doubt.
It was this way: The desire of the proprietors
had been that upon the hour advertised for
flinging open the doors to the public everything
ra each department should be ready for the
most minute inspection of hotel critics And
on the morning of the day the heads of the de
partments had reported tuat they were O K
It. therefore, created not a little consternation
when, shortly after, the chef rushed into the
presence of Charlie Hilton, wringing his hands
&nrl with only th© wbitQß of bis ©yes ©xposxi
and declared that the opening must be post
poned. 1
“What do you mean?" Hilton demanded.
"Ze turtle haf not come, z* turtle haf not
come.” the chef moaned.
"Well, what of that?” Hilton asked, some
what puzzled.
"What of zat?"t-he chef fairly screamed
“What of zat?” O. aacre: Zare is no turtle
we cannot haf ze soup. And if we haf no soup
we cannot open ze hotel,” and without waiting
for Hilton's reply the chef rushed back to his
department. A moment later Hilton found him
standing at the foot of the supply chute, the
picture of frenzied despair. Hilton began to
reason with him, and suggested as a way out of
Uis difficulty that he make soup out of some
thing else. But this only added horror to the
expression on the chef’s face.
"Wnat didyousay? Make soup of somesing
else zan turtle, when turtle soup is on zv Dill of
fa-r-e? Oh,no, no, no!”
"Well, I can’t help that," Hilton rejoined.
"Y-ou don't suppose we are going to postpone
the opening because of a turtle, do you*”
"Ze good God help in h" cried tie chef pite
ously. And as he did so. behold: down the
chute slid a monster turtle alive, and. as it
stopped at the feet of the chef, it stuck out its
head and blinked at him. as muca as to aay
"Your prayer is answered.”
With a cry of joy the chef grabbed, the turtle
and carried him to the kitchen himself, and to
this day he treats with scorn any Inut ttr-t the
turtle's timely arrival was due to the delivery
man, and not to a supernatural agency.
She Didn’t Want the Mat.
He ran? the bell of a Laurel avenue residence
and. on the appearanoe of the servant, begged
to be presented to the lady of the house, says
the St. Paul Pioneer-Press.
, “But she has no use for peddler*, ' replied the
girl.
“I was recommended to nail here by a proml

“What is it?” inquired the lady.
“It is a patent reversible doormat. You will

“You wouldn’t?”
“No, sir. It's a gross innovation, and I should

"But, madam, quite a number of your

they are bound to become quite a fad. I assure
you."
“Take it away."
“Remonstrance is useless?"
"Quite so."
“Be careful, madam, or you will compel me

"That is entirely unnecessary. Just take

"Madam, you defy me. All right, then. Y’our

"And what was that?"
“She said, < mentioning your frame, that

There still stands at Paramus, N. J., the

An accident has occurred to the oak and vine
theory of the relationship between husband and
wife, and it was precipitated by no less than that
direct descendant of Mother Eve, Mrs. John
Smith. Here is what that woman has been led
to reveal to women in general: ’’My husband
is very fond of beans, and as I was in the gar
den one clay putting up bean-poles. I thought
how ofien he had compared women to vines and
men to the supports on which thev ci.mb.
There was a strong wind blowing on the day m
question, so I looked at the bean poles and
thought that th© poles would figure as
trees, and perhaps I might get an
inspiration from them. There were two
rows of them—one in wh ch the vines
were twined ail about the Doles, and another in
which the poles had just been set out and the
vines had not yet begun to cling Well, they
were struggling beautifully with the wind, and
the harder It blew the tighter the vm >s seemed
to cling to the poles. I felt the inspir&rion
creeping over me, when there cam? a sudden
Kust of wind and blew over every single one of
the poles which didn't have a vine on it, and left
those that had standing straight as ever! That
.lust spoiled it all; for after that, no matter how
I looked at them, those vines always seemed to
be holding up the poles, instead of the poisk
holding up the vines.”
Dr. Robert Koch, the German scientist, has
a brother living in St. Louis. Dr. Koch is the
third son, while the fifth is Mr. Arnold Koch,
president of the RedaetTer and Koch Art Coin
pany. St. Louis. Mr. Koch is naturally prou 1
of the achievements of his older brother. “I
cannot say much of my brother's recent life,”
he said Friday, “fori have lived in this country
many years. My correspondence with
him has been kept up constantly.
Robert is the third of thirteen children, the
first nine of whom were boys. According to
the laws of Hanover, when a mother gives birtb
to seven male children in succession the king
must be trodfather to the seventh and the
mother receives au elegant silver present from
the government. While the rest of us spent our
time fishing and hunting Robert devoted his
hours to study and observation, and one of his
favorite pastimes was to study lichens and
mosses under the microscope. At 17 he had
completed his course in the High School of
Clansthal, Hanover, but was unaole to enter
the University of Gottengen until he was 18.
At the university he wrote a prize essay in his
second year, takmg it away from hundreds of
students. His course as a physician at Posen,
where he first began the study of bacteria, his
service during the Franco-Prussian war, his in
vestigation and establishment of tlij cholera
germ are all matters of record.” Mr. Koch
bears a striking resemblance to his distinguished
brother.
Ihe experiment of the Washingtonpastoftice
in mounting mail collectors on bicycles has
proven successful. After several months’ trial
with rented machines tbe office has purchased
outright a number of bicycles of uniform pat
tern. A regular system of bicycle collections
has been arranged. Bicycles have almost en
tirely displaced the one-horse carts for collec
tions. except in the suburbs and in the heart of
the business section, where the collections are
too heavy for the woodmen. There are now in
all twenty-four mounted collectors, auil the
hours of uuty from 5 a. in. to S p. m., the force
of men being divided up into two reliefs, so that
no one, of course, has to work all that time
A bicytile IS cheaper than a cart and a horse
both at the outset and ever afterward, and some
of the men are said to prefer pushing to driving
There are always some men who do not like
horses, and these are pleased with tho imiova
tton. This satisfaction is not universal, how
?™ r '. for dome men are "Gly too glad to have
the chance to drive and care for a horse Tttev
wou and rather drive than push. Not all tim
work of collec.ion. however, is done by
mounted men; lor on certain of their trips the
regular le.ter carriers collect as they go But
as compared with collectors on foot, the
mounted men are much the more valuable It
has bean the experience at the Washington
postomee that two men on wheels can do the
work of three men on foot. The new system is
a success, and has evidently come to stay.
The two most prolific speechmakers in our
