It must have shakes in it. An Ohio ; aper tells of an energetic and jeahus woman who chased her husnand a mile and then couldn’t keep him chaste. When the pompous ‘‘committee of capital ists’’ had examined the sito and decided to build the mill the rippling little brooklet murmured, I’ll bs dammed! Since Meador Parnell was convicted of adultery by default it’s positively amusing to notice bow gingerly the newspapers are touching upon the subject. Now Mrs. Birchal.’s sister’s husband has been arrested for embezzlement. It ap pears that these two young womo 1 married a precious pair of rascals. Foreign capitalists have paid $2,000,003 for the W yoming srda deposits. Since the McKinley bill passed they were Justified in expecting a rise from all that soda. Ten thousand hat makers are locked out at Danbury, Coon. Here is another in stance wherein “the workingman’s indus tries’’ are so thoroughly protected that he cau’t get at them. Not only did Bankor George R. Howell, of New York, go down in the late financial oraah, but his little daughter died the night following the afternoon of tho disaster. Truly misfortunes do not come singly. Mr. Calhoun found out, when it was too late, that an alliance polo was not long enough to reach the senatorial persimmon. He evidently placed too muoh faith in the representations of Dr. Macuae and Cal. Liv ingston. Since their recent plunge into the bouil lon, the New York County democracy re solved "to stand by Cleveland." That is to sav, they wan. to stand as near him as he "‘■il alio v them. They find that they must get behind somebody. Did not our esteemed Atlan a cantem po’-f*ry ia y a or ’wo ago that Mr. Cal houn would be elected senator? The esteemed contemporary doesn’t seem to have known much abaut the souatorial con test. Mr. Calhoun wasn’t in it to any great extent. The Southern Alliance Fanner says that Assemblyman Hartridga “went off end juggled with Mr. Norwood and an other fellow, the great tycoon, and came out declaring the selection of Calhoun by the anti-Gordon caucus a fraud.” He must have juggled to some effect, as Mr. Norwood got more than twice as many votes as the Southern Alliance Farmer's candidate. Texas has another sensation. E very peace officer in Young county is in jail. They have all been indicted by the United States grand jury, for participation, either actively or passively, in the famous mob which recently attacked the jail to hang three murderers. Three members of the mob are now on trial. Twenty-five United States deputy marshals guard the jail, but the town is full of determined citizens, with Winchesters, who say that the hittd States courts may convict, but their neighbors shall not suffer any penalty. /Onviction will certainly precipitate a riot. Much cases as that are very difficult for any court to deal with. Not Coffin Kai . Mr. T. L. Gantt, in an tddress to the alliance memb rsof the Georgia legislature, published in the Southern Alliance Fanner, in its issue of Tuesday, said: “Every vote given Gordon is one nail driven into the coffin of the alliance.” Was there any greater nonsense than this uttered during the remarkable senatorial centest that bas just closed? It is doubtful if anySody but Mr. Gantt will admit that the coffin of the alliance, has been ordered vet. If it has not, a vote for Gordon could not bare been ‘•one nail driven into the coffin of tue alliance." But what Mr. Gantt meant, probably, was that if Gen. Gordon were e ected sena tor the alliance would soon need a coffin. Asa matter of fact, the alliance is in a much more bealtby condition than it would ; have bee it bad the man selected for senator by the alliance leaders been elected, and this, doubtiess, is the view held by the most level-beaded alliancemen of tue legislature, the aliiaucemen who voted for Gen. Gordon. The allisuceinen who voted for him know that be is a stanch friend of the farmers, and that he will do his utmost to further thoir interests. He won’teupport the sub-treasury bill, of course, not only because the bill is unconstitutional, but because it is full of danger to farmers and ail other classes of the people. A day or two ago Senator Sherman, who is one of the ablest of living financiers, said that there was no objection to increasing the circulating medium provided it is made redeemable in gold and silver coin. Ex perience teaches that all other currency is a failure. During the civil war paper money declined until it was worth only 40 cents on the dollar. It required a desperate struggle to get it back to par, aud tbe prosperity of the country vtus not assured until that point was reached. Being reminded that the farmers’ alliance was not demanding fiat money, but proposed storing agricult ural products in warehouses as a security for currency, Senator Sherman said; “I know it does, but down in South America there is an actual illustration of the work ings of the farmers’ alliance plan and its re sult. The Argentine Republic was one of the most prosperous countries in South America. It tried the plan of loaning money on everything, and it has been wrecked, nearly carrying the great house of Baring Bros, down with it. Gold vras at a premium of 161 in the republic. It is a country with climate and many other char acteristics similar to this." If the sub-treasury bill should become a law, it is not improbable that a condition of affaire similar to that in the Argentine Republic would be brought about in this country. In that event the allianoe would need a coffin sure enough. But with such men ia congress as Gen. Gordon there is not much danger that the sub-treasury bill will become a law, and the necessity for an alliance coffin will be avoided. Gen. Gordon will help reduce the burdens of the farmers by reducing tariff taxation, and in all other legitimate ways he will contribute to their prosperity. The votes which alliaucemeu cast for him will be re garded not as nails in the alliance coffin, but as steps by which the farmers advanced to greater prosperity. The World’s Fair Trouble. There is so much trouble of one kind and another in connection with the World's Fair that the public will begin to ask, after awhile, whether it would not be the wiser course to abandon tbe fair. The national fair oommi-sion and the local directors of the fair don’t seem to get along well to gether, aud congress has found it necessary to ap]ioint a committee to inquire into the necessity for tho extravagant expenditures which the national commission proposes to make —some of tho e expenditures being enormous salaries for those who have been so fortunate as to get the positions of honor in which there is little or no work to be done. The local directors all along have been moved apparently more by a desire to open the way for a big real estate speculation thaa to make the fair a success. They dis cussed the question of a site until the pub lic was tired of it, aud then finally offered a site that was really a double one, but which was accepted bv tbe national commission because it was thought that it could be made to answer the demands of tho exposition. Without waiting for the approval of tho national commission tne local directors thon went ahead making contracts for build ings, and the buildings were so located that the most important of them would be 0:1 the lake front part cf the site, thus making such a division of the exhibit as would amount virtually t) two exhibits, the better being on the lake front. Of course the national commission ob jected to this, and demanded that the con tracts for buildings should be annulod and that Chicago should furnish a sits upon which the whole exhibit could be placed to advantage. The ohntracts have been sus pended, but tbe site has not been changed, and it is by no raeaus certain that it will be. The local directors seem determined to carry out their plaus relative to a real es tate speculation, aud if thoy are successful the fair will not bo such a credit to tho country as the public has beeu led to believe it wHI. No doubt tho fair would be a great success if it could be kept free from all jobs, but from present Indications that will bs found to be impossible. Too many of those con nected with it seem to bo too intent on gath ering in the almighty dollar to serve the people faithfully and honestly. Virginia has a society for the preserva tion of antiquities. It is composed of ladies. They have purchased and restored the Pow der Horn at Williamsburg, and also bought the house at Fredericksburg in which ■Washington’s mother lived and died. Now they are moving to acquire the older pom tions of Jamestown, including the grave yard and ruins of the church tower. There are also some ancient works of art at Rich mond that are well worthy of preservation. As the first English settlement in the United States and the scene of the remarkable ex ploits of Capt. Johu Smith, the whole coun try will feel an interest in the success of their efforts to save the ancient momeutoev that abound in the vicinity of historic Jamestown as effectually as those of Mount Vernon have been rescued from destruc tion and decay. Hostilities have shut down in Honduras. It’s all over. President Bogran has out his I way through his beleaguering foe and cap tured Gen. Sanchez, the instig itor of the trouble. As the general had shot two of the president's adherents he will probably bo duly and fornsally shot. In the bellicose little republics down in tho swamps the place ot safety is the private station. And it's best to have your private station located behind a barn. THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1890. Chandler at His Ola Tricks. Special dispatches from Concord, N. H., say that Senator Caand'.er—the Chandler who figured so conspicuously in I lorida in 1876—has a plan for stealing the rtve from the democrats. There is no doubt that tho | democrats have a majority of tbe next leg islature in New Hampshire, and if not de : frauded of their rights they will elect a United States senator from that state. It is is said that Chandler favors call ing an extra session of the pres ent legislature and passing a measure, bas>d upon the census of this year, that will give the republicans a majority in the legislature that was elected on Nov. 4. The new legislature does not meet until ths first Wednesday in January, and the term of the present legislature expires seven days before the meeting of the new one. Of course the propos3d legislation would not be constitutional, but what doss Chand ler care for the constitution? Ilit whole career shows that he does not regard oons.i tutional limitations as of any cousequenoo. If he can gain a point by overriding tbe constitution he is not the man to hesitate. The democrats in the new legislature will hardly submit to having the fruits of their victory snatched from them by any scheme that Chandler may concoct, and if he and his fellow republicans undertake to steal the state there will lie lively times in New Hampshire. Last Wednesday Mr. Edwin Booth cele brated the 57th anniversary of his birth by playing “Brutus” in “Julius Caesar” in the chief city of his native State. All the Baltimore papers made special me ilion of the event, being naturally proud to claim as a Marylander the greatest of the American tragedians, though Mr. Booth himself, with his accustomed modesty in private life, might have profered to have his birthday ann versary pass unnoticed. For f >rty years he has been constantly on the regular stage, and has won its highest honors. Baltimore papers revive a story of his first appearance in his native place, Belair, where he was spending the summer of 1850 with Mr, J. S. Clarks, who has since become scarcely less distinguished as a comedian. Dramatic recitations by the two young actors constituted the entertainment. Booth’s selections were all taken from tbe plays of Shakespeare in which ho has since become distinguished. Among other things recited there forty years ago was the quar rel scene from “Julius Ctesar,” in which Mr. Booth played “Brutus” and Mr. Clarke was Cassius. It is difficult to imagine the comedian in such a role, but it no doubt afforded good entertainment to Mr. Booth’s old neighbors. And now, after forty years of increasing fame, Mr. Booth plays in the same great quarrel scene, before a Mary land audience, on the anniversary of his birth. No doubt thousands of others all over America would have liked to join the Baltimoreans in doing honor to the eminent actor. Aside from the cost of the vessel th 9 loss of the torpedo cruiser Serpent is a severe blow to the British navy. No less than 173 officers and men went down with her. As she was anew cruiser of a type that has been criticised for waut of stsngth, tho first thought suggested from the acci dent was that some structural weakness had been developed during the storm in which she went down. But later reports show that she struck on a sunken rock off Cape Finisterre, and the question as to structural weak nest remains unan swered. Nor can the navigator be blamed, for the waters there are very treacherous, and on a night when lights could not be seen the most skillful captain would be liable to run among the rocks. Twenty years ago the British turrot ship Captain went down in the same waters, and not one of the 500 persons on hoard was saved. Of late the British navy has been particularly unfortunate. Several war vessels and many men were lost iti 1889-’9O. Without herarmame it the Serpent cost the government nearly 1500,000. That is no light loss to any navy. Besides, it bring,, great distress upon many families and in volves a vast sum for pensions. There was a large ns oting at the Pitts burg Builders’ Exchange Thursday, com posed cf members of the builders’ trades, held for the purpose of forming an organi zation against the various labor organiza tions. There were present as employers of workmen, painters, plasterers, bricklayers, tilelayers, lumbermen and general supply men, most of whom are membe s of the builders’ exchange. A temporary organi zation was effected by the election of George 8. Fulmer, a prominent contractor, as chairman. He is the originator of the plan, and explained that the contractors in the various linos of trade were practically at the mercy of labor unions, and that as a means of protection they should continue in an organization, and thus be able more successfully to deal with the demands made by the labor unions. His idea was ap parently acceptable, and it was about de cided to call the new organization the “Protective League.” They adjourned to meet in a short time and perfect a perma nent organization. Thus it goes. One aggressive organization provokes another, and between them all they keep the indus trial world in a continual turmoil. In a letter recently delivered by Chan cellor von Caprivi to King Humbert, the Emperor of Germany Is said to have con sented to the marriage of his sister, Princess Mnrgarethe, within a year, to the Prince of Naples, the heir to the Italian throne. Princess Margarethe is to become a Cath olic. Some doubt is cast upon this informa tion, bec.iuse of the tumult such a condition mignt raise among German Protestants. Oae thing is certain, however—the Princess Margarethe. now in her 19 th year, is the youngest of the four daughters of the Empress Frederiolc, and the only one not yet provided with a husband. Prince Vit torio Emanuele, the prospective groom, is Prince of Naples and heir apparent to the throne of Italy, and the only child of King Humbert. He was born Nov. 11, 1869. He is a handsome youth, with a grave, intel lectual countenance, and has wholly out grown the delicacy of health from which he suffered in his boyhood. He is said to be very intelligent, and to possess much strength of character, whica is one of the most essential characteristics of a judicious monarch. The Southern Alliance Farmer, which has had so many pleasant things to say of Mr. Norwood recently, seems to have soured on him. In its issue of last Tuesday it says: “Mr. Norwood has settled his own hash.” It is prebab'.s that Mr. Norwood will not admit that be had any hash to settle, but if he is not too modest be will probably admit that be roads mince meat of the Southern Alliance Farmer and its editor. Hon. William E Russell, tbe democratic | governor-elect of Massachusetts, is an ardent admirer of the national sport of base ball, according to the Buston Adver tiser. Mere than that, h-i was a very fair player, and six or seven years ago he played with a smart amateur club in Cam bridge, gaining much honor and glory among his associates by the fine game he put up. Now that he no longer wields the willow or the pigskin, he does not suffer his loyalty to lapse. He is frequently seen at the championship gam** in Boston. At the opening game on Fast day, at the brother hood grounds, this year, “Gov.” Russell stood in the crowd and was trodden on by the policemen as if he were the merest common clay. Finally some of his friends boosted him into the grand stand, where he smilod oomplacently over his followers. He is an expert horseman, and keeps a good riding horse, mounted oa which he may frequently be seen scouring the suburban roads. Alert activity is a good thing in a governor, as the republicans may soon dis cover. Although a recent dispatch sent from Washington claiming that a number of alliauce members of tbe legislature would vote for Ingalls, and quoting B. H. Clover, alliance congressman-elect from the Third district, as authority, created considerable excitement in Topeka political circles, Chair man S. W. Chase, of the People’s central committee, says that “there is nothing whatever to the story. The farmers’ political movement was org mixed to defeat Ingalls.” Yet tbe slim senator continues to talk very confidently. In a recent inter view be is said to have scouted the idea of surrender. He is accredited with shouting: “What, not win when I atn certain of going into that fight with seventy votes; within fourteen of enough to elect me! I would make the fight if I had but three votes and knew I would got no more. But 1 will have the best of it at the start, and enough votes will come to me to return me to the Senate. ” Nevertheless, he stands a very good chance to attend his own political funeral when he goes back to Kansas. “Haying been unable to defeat B. R. Till man for governor cf South fjaralina, the old bourbons who opposed him are trying to ostracize him socially by means of tho South Carolina Club and the state ball,” says the New York Press. “Theclub man ages this ball. It has just resolved to invite no Carolinian to it who is not a member of the club, and as Tillman wears flannel shirts there is no possibility of his being elected to membership.” There is no ostra cism in that. Because Mr. Tillman hap pened to be elected governor of the state by tbe crowd, that doesn't make him a member of the South Carolina Club. Nor does it entail upon that purely social organization the task of trying to make a desirable mem ber of him. If he wishes to become a mem ber of the club he must abandon his boorish habits and be elected as others are—upon his personal merits and congeniality to those who form the ciub. Methodists say that they are rapidly spreading their doctrine to tbe four quarters of the earth, and still holding their own in America. Mission reports rendered to the church leaders, now in session in Boston, show that of the $1,020,309 received for missions during the year, if 460,170 was ex pended in the United State.-. There is a membership of 16,000 and $1,000,000 in prop erty in tbe missions of Germany, 7,000 members in Switzerland, 15,000 in Sweden, 8,000 and a property of $500,000 in Norway, and a membership of 56,000 in the great In dian missions, t Further, the reports state that a strong effort is to be made to preach the cause of Methodism among the Chinese. This denomination has made tremendous strides within tbo past few years and has spread wonderfully. Tennessee has an epidemic of spotted fever. It has broken out in virulent form nt Fountainhead, near Gallatin. Fully ‘JO per cent, of those attacked die from its ef fects. Within two days James Simpson lost three grandsons, and now has a daugh ter suffermg from the scourge. Doctors do not know how to handle the disease. Spot ted fever is an eoidamio cerebro spinal men ingitis. Its average duration is about four teen days, but death often occurs within a few hours. No effective method of treat ment has yet been devised, because it has not before been epidemiejo any great ex tent. But now that the doctors find them selves unable to cope with it in an emer gency, it should be carefully looked into. England is preparing for a tussle similar to the one we have jus; settled. Hon. Will iam Henry Smith, the government leader in tho House of Commons, has issued a cir cular to his supporters, urging them to be present at tbo opening of the approaching session, as their support for matters of the highest importance will than be necessary. Mr. Gladstone, in a circular, also urges his supporters to attend the opening of the coming session of parliament. Now for a tournament. It is ahout time the “grand old man” was on top once more. In his last message to the legislature Gov. Gordon submitted a table showing the value of the property of the colored taxpayers of the state from 1579 to 1890, inclusive. It exhibits very favorably the increased pros perity of that part of Georgia’s population. In 1879 tbe assessed value of the property of the negroes was $5,182,898. Since that time there has been a steady increase every year. This year it has reached the substantial total of $12,322,002, an increase of nearly $2,000,000 since la9t year. Recently a Minnesota man brought suit against his wife on tbe ground that she was a kleptomaniac, and he didn't know it until after he bad married her. Then he must have been a very foolish man, or he might have known that os soon as be found she had stolen his heart. But then, “iove is blind,” wo are told. So that may account for it. Eyrand, tbe Parisian strangler now on trial, is said to have hypnotized Gabrielle Bompard to make her help him in making away with a Paris banker. Hypnotism is coming quite conspicuously into notice as an assigned cause for the in voluntary crimos of the weak. One of tho latest fads is the fat Angora cat. But just think how quickly that fad would vanish if some blundering old coun try cousin should stumble in with a bad cold and snort forth —Saat-choo! That senatorial seat has finally been dis pose! of, and, in the interest of accurate information, it is only proper to remark that Mr. Pat Calboun is not in it Throat Diseases coumenosvjjj a equgh. cold, or sore throat.

A Dead Wife to Him 1 was at the depot in Louitville, standing in the doorway of the ladins' waiting room, says the Detroit Free Press, whin a stranger beck oned me out and said: “ I want you to do ms a favor. See if there is a woman about 40 years old in there, wearing a black silk dress, a brown wrap aud a hat with two white feathers in it.” I sauntered in and looked around, and re turned and reported her there. “Anybody with her?” he asked. “Yes; a man and a little child.” His face was pale and betrayed great emo tion . and his voice had a queer souna to it as he considered for a moment aud then said: “Take this pistol. lam her husband, and she has eloped. I was going to kill the mao at first, but 1 have thought better of it.” He entered the room, and the guilty pair rose up and turned pale as he approached. He did not look at either of them, but walked straight up to the child, took her in his arms, and went out, saying: “We haven t any home now, darling, but we will go away somewhere aud make oue.” “Come, mamma,” cried the child. “Hush!” he whisperer!. “You have no mother. She died two days ago.” They Voted Els Way. “Out in San Francisco a good many years ago,” said Senator Jones of Nevada to a Wash ington correspondent, “a Hebrew merchant killed a man. He was indicted and brought up tor trial. The jury was impaneled Jehnson was the name of the first man drawn. 'Johnson.' exclaimed the defiaadent, dot iih ba:.’ The next was Ham,lion. 'Another Christian, was the defendant's despairing comment. The next name was Austin. 'Oh, dear.' exclaimed the de fendant, 'I haf no show at all. The verdict vill be in tbe vnst decree.’ Eleven names were finally drawn, every one that of a gentle. Ths defendeDt was wringing his hands in despair. But mention of the name of tbe last juror gave him hope. It was Isaacs. “'Ah:'exclaimed the prisoner at the bar. T may be able to uo something wita Mr. Isaacs. That uigbt the defendant and Mr. Isaacs had an interview. ‘I gif SIO,OOO for a verdict in the second decree, - -aid this accused. Terms were finally arranged at $20,003, cash on de livery or the vqrdlot. The trial aas held and the v.-rdict brought in. It was guilty iu tue second degree. Then Jnror Isaacs aud the convicted man bad another interview. Mr. Isaacs wanted bis money. “ ‘Can’t you make it $18,000,’ pleaded the un fortunate ” 'So, l can’t. Must have the whole $20,000.’ "With muoti reluctance and many groans tbe $.0,000 was paid over. After folding tue hills into a fat roll and stuffing them into his pocket Mr. Isaacs looked up with au injured air and remarked: “ ‘it was unkind of you to ask me to throw off $2,000 after ali the trouble I had to g.-t that ver dict in the second degree for you Any, I had to pay tnem tdeven onhstians SI,OOO apiece to get them to vote iny way. They was ail for acquittal” Ho Wanted Too Much. For a long time after the bonanza excitement the stock market in San Fraacisco remained quiet and inactive, says the New York Herald. More or less trading was done in Comstock snares, of course, but the market, as a whole, was quietly settling down to What appeared a "beu-rock” basis. The Sierra Nevada and Uaion Consolidated mines at the northern end of the Comstock group were at tids time particular,/ inactive, the former selling as low as 50 cents a share. Rumor, however, oegan to circulate about this lime of a strike in the north-end mines, and .Sierra Nevada aud Union began to climb up ward. John Powers, a butcher, owned at the time of which I speak a small shop at the corner of Hayes street aud Van Ness avenue, aod he somehow became imbued with the idea that there was in.re money to be made at stuck speculation than in tbe butcher business. Act ing upon this idea Powers, by mortgaging his business and borrowing wnat money he could, scraped together a few thousand dollars, which ha deposited In the office of a Pine street bro kerage Arm. He wasn't particular, he said, as to what stock he shoh.d buy, and finally rattled on Sierra Nevada as being a good purchase, leaving instructions with his broker to buy 10U shares for his account. Tbm was done and Powers was duly credited with the stock, tor whiou he payed $24 per share. Meanwhile tne rumors come pouring in from Virginia Llty about the great north end strike, and Sierra Nevada began to fairly jump for ward, until it who quoted at $176.

John Gifford, residing at Bu?artown, Pa., was recently made happy by a toilet dropping from his shoulder which he has carried there for over thirty-seven j*ears. It was shot into his flesh by an Indian in a battle in which Gif ford participated, and during the last score of years has given him much pain. Some days ago the pain was greatly incre ised. and while he was moving about the house the bulkt fell to the floor. since which he has been greatly relieved. It is a large, old-fashioned bullet and shows to have been made by the old mold process. An interesting point was raise 1 at the last monthly meeting of the American Chemical Society by Rev. A. R.

In the course of some recent investi gations Dr. Leeds has found that the total per cenC of 6olids in milk from twiil-fed cows amounts to nearly 11. Now, the stale law in New \ork requires in salable milk a per cent, of solids amounti gto 13. The question arises whether some action will rot be necessary to prevent the sale of milk from swill-fed cows, w hen an unscrupulous dealer finds out that he can legally substitute it for dairy cow's milk. The Maine Mr. and Mrs. Panin, ton are still on deck. One lady just returned from Boston informs the neighbors that she rode “upstairs m a refrigerator aud had her clothes washed at a foundry."

At a grand dinner she overheard a lady guest politely an swer to the \vi“lderof tb© carving knifo that “it was immaterial which portion she had." A luscious slice was passed up to her. aad our old lady, after an appreciative glance, “guessed that sho would have a small bunk off’n the im material." The anxiety of the public to travel at head long speed is doubtless at the bottom of many of the railroad accidents now of daily occur rence in all parts of the country. Travelers are not content with thirty or forty miles an hour, and seek for trains that will make fifty or sixty. The schedule time is accordingly shortened, arid the engineer ordered to run on time or seek em ployment elsewhere. The brave engineer lets her go accordingly, and if the train remains on the track and there are no obstructions, all goes well Otherwise the dead, are hajjtjly buried, the wounded bustled off to the hoipital, the wrecking crows ordered to be quick and get that debris out of the way, and now schemes are hurriedly devised to run trains seventy miles an hour. John Swinton ofthis city, says the New York Suriy had a letter once sent to him by Gen. Sherman, with a view to its publication. There are two striking sentence? in the letter. In one of them Gen. Sherman, after correcting an er roneous report that bad been printed about himself, rerers to the wav in which such reports are 1 able to swell as they circulate He says: “Distance aud time swell a rumor in the ratio of the cube of distance, or, as Horace records, the flight of a rumor is like that of an eazle, whicu ascends from its perch straight for a time, and then in circles larger and larger, till Re original starting point is lost." In another part of Cku. Sherman's letter, while referring to a question that is now looming up all over the world. he writes thus: "On Vhe great-question of the con flict between capital and labor 1 know nothing, and must use Swnlsh to express my position. fWos Sab*." Mr dwlnton says that it is evi dent trom these sentences that Gea. Sherman is a classical as well as a mathematical scholar, and that he also aoquired some knowledge of Spanish elottology while campaigning: in Flori da a half century ago. Tub Albany Ti net recalls the fact that Vice- President Webb, of the Sew York Central rail road, who dealt so severely but so successfully with the late strike, oomes from a pugnacious family. His father, the famous Col. James Watson Webb of Sew York, was a distinguished officer of the army, and subsequently' a still more distinguished and successful editor. He was instrumental, after he lett the democratic narty at the time of President Jackson’s cam paign against the United States Bans, in solidi fying the anti-Masons, the Nation al republicans aad federalists Into the whig party. and boasted of giving that name. When he was at the head of the New York Courier and Inquirer be at one time employed James Gordon Bennett, Sr., as Washington eorrespjnd“Ht They quarreled, and Bennett started the tieraht. feotb papers were Ailed with personalities. and Webb finally assaulted Bennett on the street, and challenged him repeatedly to meet him on the field of honor. Col. Webb was convicted for lighting a duel and sentenced to state prison, but he was pardoned by Gov. Seward on condition that ha would not fight another. An “aseptic suit,” for the protection of phy sicians and others against contagion while at tending persons with contagious diseases, has been invented by Dr. J. L. Boliios of Auburn, Cal. It is to be worn over the ordinary cloth ing so as to entirely cover the wearer, sad is almost entirely impervious, sufch |>arts as may admit air consisting of germ-proof material. It has m -chanism for supplying filtered air for respiration, facilities for ustng the stethoscope and the laryngoscope, and removable gloves. The suit, winch is preferably of rubber, is in two parts, brought together at the waist by clamped flanges, rn the crown of tnr head piece are two perforated metallic plates for holding a wad of germ proof material, and the front has similar plates. Near the ear a circu lar opening is protected by a disk of rubber. For admitting light the upper front part of tne head piec i has a glass-covered opening. The trousers and boots are in one piece. In the feet are bellows, protected by germ-proof mate tal, that are worked by a treading motion, main talning an upward current of air and driving out vitiated air through the head piece. For a woman a skirt, instead of trousers, may be provided. The suit may be carried in a con venient casing to within sure limit* of a case of contagious diseaae, then adjusted and the patient visited, the exterior being disinfected after removal.
