Portugal bas decided not to whip Eng land about that little patch of land down In Africa. This will be a source of solid comfort to the European powers. President Harrison is alleged to have said that the majority shall rule. If that is the Pro-ident’s platform the incoming demo cratic congress will control the administra tion. It certainly has the nocessary ma jority. Pennsylvania is said to be the backbone of rock-ribbed protection tariff policy. Therefore it is a matter of no small sig nificance that the farmers of Pennsylvania should now tlnd themselves in a disastrous financial condition. They have so long sus tained the prodigal policy of the Republican party in state as well as national affairs that they are at last coming to realize the disaster it entails. When that sentimental Pennsylvania girl shot herself the other day just after a pro tracted vocal serenade, she probably did for herself only what the cominuuity felt disposed to do for her. Very likely some of the nsighbors who were driven to the verge of a dangerous degree of desperation felt greatly relieved to know that she had administered to herself the penalty they thought she deserved. Diseased American porkers are not to be allowed to escape the surveillance of the United States authorities hereafter. There is to be a smelling committee attached to the agricultural department. Inspectors are to examine each separate and distinct animat and detain those which manifest any symptoms of physical debility. This is expected to establish confidence among for eign customs officers in favor of the hygenio condition of the great American hog Very likely that excruciatingly funny young man who recently tried to frighten his sister-in-law by personating a drunken marauder trying to break into her house ■when she was alone had some reason to regret his prank when he awoke to find him self dead. Had she been less courageous Bbe would probably have been frighteued to death or insanity. It was a question of the life of one of them. So it is just as well that he shou'd have been the one to go, as he was clearly the greater fool of the two, and could, therefore, more readily be dis pensed with. Comment upon the recent Hearst funeral ■till goes vigorously ahead. Every story seems to be totally different from its prede cessor. Some sav that there was "water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink,” while others insist that the palatial train was literally flooded with red wine. No one seems to have got any appareut exhil aration out of it except Mrs. Gougar, the Indiana temperance agitator. How she happened to know bo much as she professes about the transitory proceedings is not easily accounted for. Hut she claims that the whole sinuously solemn ceremony was converted into one continuous wild level. All of this professed information could only have been acquired by a closer inspection of the contents of the funeral train than her position ou another train could reasonably have been expected to afford. Guests of the funeral train say that Mrs. Gougar’s state ments are prompted solely by her prohibi tion prejudices and a feeling of spite be cause the railroad officials refused to detach the engine from the funeral train to help forward a Mexican excursion with which she was in some way connected. For the sake of official dignity and public decency it is to be hoped that the latter statement is correct. A Nebraska Judge's Decision. One of the judges of the supreme court of Nebraska has decided that be will not confirm any more foreclosure sales of mort gaged farms in case 9 in which it is shown that failure of crops made the payment of the mortgages impossible. Doubtless this decision of this judge is approved by many of the Nebraska farmers whose farms are mortgaged, but Is it a wise decision! It is safe to say that the majority of the farmers of Nebraska hare a pretty hard time of it because their farms are mort gaged, and. for several years, owing to the low price of farm products or to the failure of crops, some of them have fund it difficult, if not impossible, to pay the inter est money they owe. But is it right for the judge to assume that the mortgagees have not met with reverses, and are therefore well able to get along without the money that is due them? Suppose a farmer has sold bis farm and loaned to other farmers the money he received for it, expecting to live upon the interest of the loaned money. What is be to do If the interest ra nay is not paid? He cannot get either his interest or his principal, and he has no money with whicn to supply the wants of his family. I be to suffer because the man to whom he loaned his money has met with a misfort une ? Suppose the mortgagee is a business man with a small capital, who, if he doesn’t get his money at the time which, according to his contract, he is to have it, will fail. Is it just that be should be made to suffer because the man who owes him money Is not able to pay him without making sacrifices? There Is no thinking farmer who will say that the decision of the Nebraska judge is right. He certainly would not approve it if he were the creditor and needed bis money o avert financial disaster. Much of the money loaned on farm mort gages belongs to widows who havo no other source of income. The Nebraska judge virtually tells them that they must become dependent upon friends or go to the poor house if the crops of the farmers who have their money fail. If the decision of the Nebraska judge were made applicable to all other kinds of busi ness the credit system would have to be abolished, for if a merchant should have a year of bad business he would tell his credi tors that he couldn’t pay them without impairing his capital or disposing of his business, and there would be no way in which they could got their money. They woLild be compelled to stop selling on credit and business would come to a stand still. But the Nebraska judge's decision will do the Nebraska farmers more barm than good. It will prevent them from getting money at fair rates of interest, or, perhaps, prevent them from getting it at all. Those who have money will not lend It if they see no chance for getting it at the time it Is due. No doubt the farmers, as a rule, have a pretty hard time of it, but such discrimi nation in their favor as that made by the Nebraska judge is calculated to increase, rather than lighten, their burdens. Savannah’s Superb Prospect. The most of the new railroads that are now projected or are being built in the south, and about all the combinations of southern railroads that are proposed, will tend to benefit .Savannah. The rapid development of the resources of Georgia, Alabama and Florida,aud the growing desire of the west for a seaboard outlet on the South Atlantic coast, insures the building of a great com mercial city on the South Atlantic coast, and that city is certain to be Savannah. In fact. Savannah is already a great com mercial city, but by no means as great as she will be within a very few years. No other South Atlantic port has so good a harbor, and no other one has the prospect of having so good a one as she will have within the next few years. And Savannah has railroad advantages such as few other cities of her importance have,and these advantages are being steadily increased. Her railroads and their con nections make an immense territory tribu tary to her. There is no season of the year now when her wharves do not present a very busy appearance. And her wharves are of immense extent. Aud they can be greatly extended. There aro miles aud miles of river front where wharves c >uld be built. The day is not distant when there will be great wharves on Hutchinson’s Island aud along the river front for miles below the lowest point at which wharves are now built. And the people ore waking up to the ad vautages which their city possesses. They are investing in real estate, constructing street railroads, and are doing a great deal of building. They believe that Savannah will have at least 100,000 population by 1900, and perhaps more, and they are making Invest ments in accordance with that belief. That the city is growing is shown by the fact that there are not near enough dwell ing houses to supply the demand for them. People are coming into the city all the time to find homes, and it is safe to say that if a hnndred or more houses of the kind desired were offered for rent now they would all be taken quickly. And when the railroads, which are to have their headquarters in this city, and which are no w bein ; built, are completed, the demand for dwelling houses will bo much greater even than it is now. It would be the part of wisdom to prepare for a great increase in population. That there will be a great increase there can bo no doubt whatever. Already, since the combination between the Gould system and the system of the Richmond Terminal, thousands of tons of freight have been turned in this direction. The Ocean Steamship Cotnpauy has now all that it can do, and the possibility is that in the near future it will have to increase the number of its steamers. Savannah is mov ing ahead and her people rejoice. Many of the republican newspapers are making much ado over the imputed heroic courage of the President in ela-hing off a curtain cord to bind the hands of that des perate young intruder who recently dis turbed the executive household at midnight. That was no more than any man should have done. No one could have been more inter ested in the proceedings than the President himself. Aside from his duty as a good citizen in suppressing disorderly behavior he undoubtedly very earnestly desired to prevent the Republican party from lo ing a conspicuous member, who, in his opi ion, is very available as a presidential nominee. Many of those recently smashed financial concerns in Chic jgo are gradually pulling themselves together. But the New York business houses seem to have just fairly be gun falling to pe' es. That panic is too long past for such disasters to continue fol lowing It at so long* distance. THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, MARCH 30, 1891. Parnell and Party. Instead of Improving as time goes on the condition of the wrangle between the va rious factions in Irish politics only becomes aggravated. Well knowing the natural ag gressiveness of the Irish temper it would seem that Mr. Parnell should employ pacific methods and find seme means of placating the animosities engendered by partisan strife to the end of bringing about a bar m nious union of Irish strength in parlia ment. But the erstwhile successful leader seems to have wholly lost his head and alto gether to have forgotten his cunning. Whether the divisions in his own party or bis recent personal difficulties have been the cause of this condition it is not easy to determine. Neither of these reasons, how ever, appears sufficient to so thoroughly confuse and demoralize a capable public man. One who cannot contend with such or even greater difficulties is not qualified to he a leader of men. Smooth sailing Is not to bo expected. Ability to combat and overcome the most vigorous opposition is one of the essential qualifications of a leader. Yet Mr. Parnell is said to have become so confused by the recent differences in his party that he bas thrown diplomacy and ordinary scruples to the winds and started in for a policy of anything to win. This course is alienating all of his former friends and forfeiting the respect of his enemies. After all the disgrace that Mr*. O’Shea endured in allowing the divorce case against her to go by default, it is now stated that Parnell’s purpose of marrying her is not to be consummated becauso slje has reason to believe that it is pr< mpted solely by his desire to secure eoutrol of her fortune, in order to recoup his own po itical prospects. Furthermore, he is accused of even resort ing to the somewhat mercenary expedient of barb ring away to the press the announce ments of his future purposes. Such a 0 jurse naturally tends to cheapen the char acter of any public man. It gives tim a reputation for grasping selfishness which no politician can afford to have. Mahone’a Latest Maneuver. The newspaper reports about that recent reconciliation and love-feast alleged to have taken place in Washington between Mataone and Langston will seem just a trifle amus ng to those who know anything of the peculiar methods of the little Virginia political intriguant. Going down upon his marrow t ones after the manner described to a negro politician, and rather a light weight at that, whom ho has beaten at every turn, is not a bit like Mahone. Every one who has any acquaintance with him knows that Mahqpe’s leading characteristic is hist stubbornness. Were he ever so much disposed to make overtures, it is decidedly more likely that he would approach someone of potent in fluence, and not a nonentity whom he bad literally obliterated from the political map, so to speak, os he did Langston last fall. No one ever knew Mahone to manifest much of a tendency to collect his cast-off political appliances. Therefore it does not sound reasonable that he is beginning now. If Mahone did not want Langston before he had crushed the professional negro and destroyed his influence, why should he want him nowi There is only one possible reason for it, and that is that President Harrison muy have promised Mahone a larger share of Virginia patronage on condition that ho should harmonize all warring elements in the state, and thus secure an undivided Har rison delegation to the next republican con vention. In that event the weakest faction of negroes would have to be taken into ac count, so that the President might boast to the race of his solicitous consideration for their interests. But all of this talk of the fond harmony that resulted from the inter view referred to is mere rubbish. That sort of gush is not like Mahone at all. Should the negroes of Virginia become so elated as to “bank” upon the result of Langston’s negotiations to any considerable extent, they would finally awaken to find themselves grieviously disappointed. Prom ises are about all they will get out of it. Some of them are quite radiant aud gor geous, no doubt, but all more or less empty. Not the Right Man for the Work. Emissary Fostor, who was recently dis patched by the state department to nego tiate a treaty with Spain, is coming in for a lively fore-and-aft raking over from the newspapers because of his alleged interest in Spanish claims against the United States government. Although an attornoy might manage to draw the line so finely between conflicting interests committed to his charge as not to allow one to encroach upon the other and thus do justice to both, it is so very diffi cult a matter that not one person out of a hundred could accurately discern the line of demarkation even though he were so scru pulously honest as to try. Under such cir cumstances his free action and best efforts for the interests of the one would unavoid ably be somewhat embarrassed bv the pos sibility of trenching upon the other. But it would seem that all of these things should have been taken into account before such an ambassador was chosen. Why it was not done is one of those political prob lems which never cease to puzzle the public. However evenly balanced may bo tr.e judgment aud however acute the legal acumen of Mr. Foster, the department of state would still pursue far the safest course in recalling him. In view of his assumed, if not actually existing, relation with litigauts against the government any concessions that he might secure from Spain would probably fail to receive the sanction of public approval be- cause of (he presumption that only pre dominating couuter-interests could have prevented a still more advantageous arrangement. An Exception. A plain-looking man from the north woods of Michigan had been two days a a Detroit hotel, says the Free Fress, when he was asked for his bill, and offered a check of $25 on a local bank in payment. "Don't you see that sign,” demanded the clerk, pointing to a placard which announced that no checks would be cashed or money lent. “But my funds are in the hank,” protested the guest. "Than draw 'em out.” "But this check is all right, and if you will accept it I shall be much oblighed.” The clerk turned to the telephone, called up the l ank, ana asked: “Has ——— any money with you?” "Ves ” "What's his check good for?’’ “Wait a minute. Hello!” "Well?” "His balance is 8123.35-112.” "Good-by. Certainly Mr. , with the greatest of pleasure! There's your change. Always glad to see you when you come to De troit!” Certain New York firms have been trying good-looking women as bill collectors. So far the scheme has been unsuccessrul. Three of the women married in ide of a week, and four more are engaged, while the balance sympathize with the poor fellows who have run into debt, and have not collected a cent. BAB’S EASTER GREETING. A PRETTY WOMAN WITH AN EASTES B NNET. Is “Bab’s” Idea of as Happy a Creature as Ayer Lives-Different Ideas cf a Good Time—The Easter Gown and I onnet— A omen Whom Men Like- Some New Ycrk Men Who Ought to be Framed—The Orchid Among Women—How Fas.er Brides Will Look-A Womanly Easter Wish. {Copyright ) New York, March 28.—There are sun shine somewhere and music and flowers for to-day, and, at a natural sequence, there is the Easter bonnet. I think a woman with a becoming Easter bonnet on, walking with a man of whom she is fond, is about as happy a creature as there is in this world; and for that reason one of the few rights that I claim for womenkind is the Easter bonnet. Give it to her, fathers end hus bands, even if you do have to forego a little supper or a box of cigars for yourself. Don’t laugh at her when she bas it on, but take her face in your hands and greet her, as they do In Russia on Easter day, with a lov ing kiss and a happy announcement that “Christ has arisen!” You havn’t a right— not a little bit of a one—to keep an innocent pleasure from a woman: and the woman to whom innocent pleasure is given is not the o.:e who is apt to look for any other kind. DIFFERENT IDEAS OF A GOOD TIME. Though, by the bye. what a queer word pleas ire is! There are people who think it h pleasure to make a great deal of noise, to laugh very loud, to tire themselves almost to death, and to shout themselves hoarse in an effort to sing “We won’t go home until morning.” There are people who think it is a pleasure to pose for the multitude and to utter inane nothings, finding satisfaction in vanity. Queer, isn’t it? There are people who think it is a pleasure to be in tneir best b>bs and tuckers, and to sit stiffly and formally at a dinner-table, utter stilted remarks to their neighbors, and come away announcing what a beautiful time they have had. That’s queer, too. Now, what’s your idea of a pleasant time ! Mine is to be with the people I like, to bear some good music, some pleasant talk, to say “how do you do” with pleasure aud “good by” with regret. Not to have a crowd, not to have a noise, not to have men behave like educated donkeys and women like circus riders. Perhaps my good time is a quiet one, but it is the sort that strengthens you mentally and physically. TUB EABTXR GOWN AND BONNET. You won’t have a good time on Easter if the new bonnet is unbecoming and the gown doesn’t fit. The week before the average woman bas looked as if she were in a bad temper. That's not a pretty look, for it makes the wrinkles comes, shrivels the skin about the eye*, changes the mouth into a hideous shape, with the compression of the lips that gives it an air of severity. Now, every bless°d woman has had plenty of time to get her Easter gown and bonnet, but the general one has just concluded what she will do the week before, ani the most obliging dressmaker in the world hasn’t learned yet how, when she has 500 frocks on hand, to make the 501st in a few hours, not only beooming, but well fitting. The s.veetest milliner you ever talked to can’t toss up a bonnet like an omelet; and the consequence is the dsappointed w men are complaining of dressmakers and milliners, and calling them everything that is dis agreeable, covering the alphabet of un pleasant words from Alpha to Omega. THE KIND OF WOMEN MEN LIKE. A disappointed woman is always a groat mistake, that is, the one who shoes her dis appointment. She will cry— ergo, her nose will be red. She wilt be cross —ergo, her di gestion will get out of order. She will sulk —ergo, the man unto whom her heart goeth out will desert her for another woman wtiose face is wreathed with smiles, eveu if it is framed in a winter bonnet. Men do like a woman to be prettily dressed, but, above all things, they prefer that she should be pleasant. So that when it comes to a ques tion of sulky women in new clothes, or pleasant ones and old clothes, they are certain to choose the latter. Men bate sulkiness in women. They count it as their own preroga tive. Personally I have come to the con clusion that what a man really likes is a thoroughly good, healtay, violent temper that wears itself out in words and is ready to be sorry afserwara. There is a type of man who likes dishes thrown at him, but he is special rather than general. There is another kijjd that Is best governed by a violent attack of hysterics, but with this sort of man the game is not worth the candle. But anythiug— throwing plates or hysteria—is better than the sulks. THE ORCHID AMONG WOMEN. The orchid show has been and gone. It was interesting and curious at the same time. The curious part was to see how the women naturally drifted to the most ex pensive orchitis, and these were by no means the most beautful. Do you know that the first bunch of orchids ever carried in New York city was borne by that most perfect gentlewoman, Mrs. Thomas Francis Mea gher, on her wedding day ? Mrs. Meagher was one of the three sisters of whom Thack eray spoke in his letters as being not only the pref iost, but the most charming and natural in their manners of any among the American women he had met. Two of this trinity of beauties are dead —Mrs. Barlow and Mrs. Crawford—but Mrs. Meagher is as lovejy and as charming to-day as when Thackeray saw her, and is that best type of the flower garden of American women, gentle, dignified aud considerate, the orchid among women, the gentlewoman. HOW EABTBB BRIDES WILL LOOK. The Easter weddings are going to be many in number, but all of a kind. The bride just now is after the French style. She looks as if her wildest dissipation had been a view of the zoological gardens, and the only books she had ever read had been th >se illustrated by Kate Greenaway. She is married in a gown bigb in the neck, and with sleeves that come, in Valois fashion, down over her hands. She carries a white ivory or kid prayer-book framed in silver, and she locks as if she were frightened to death —not because she wasgetting married, but because she is among so many people for the first time in her life. Asa picture nothing could be more absolutely delightful, and it has the effect of causing the wicked old men about town to weep bitterly, pre sumably for their lost innocence. MEN WHO OUGHT TO BB FRAMED. It has usually been the right and pleasure of fair woman to cry at weddings, but elderly men are also now craving this privilege, and they look very! paternal. When the blase gentleman begins to regret, he is worth putti g in a gilt frame and in a picture gallery, to point a moral for young meu. There are several in New York who, if they had a background of scarlet and black cloth combined—the devil’s own colors—and in a broad frame of gilt (I would like to spell this with a "u” in it,) would come out very effectively, and would answer better by their personal appearance than a thousand sermons. A WOMANLY EASTER WISH. But, after all, these are not the people one wants to look at on Easter day. The air Is full of flowers, and every lily seems to ring out the chime that “death is no more.” Every rosebud seems to tell it was up there among all the other flo.r ersasa prayer for somebody. Every tiny violet looks up with an air of great j >y, because it was thought worthy to be among the Easter emblems. Everything in the wide world is telling again ai.d again the beauti ful s.ory of the resurrection, and what is there for you and me, my friend* Last week e buried the wiukeduess and the sin, the email vices and the petty meannesses; to-day we a e going to arise and go forth wearing the clean garb of hope and taith, and with a blessed determination of charity and good will to all the word. Tbat’i what we ought to try to do, and it is half the battle it we try. You close your eyes for the minute, and the very a>r seems full of the tidii gs of great joy, and, unconsciously, you repeat, again and again, "Chr.st is arisen, death is no more.” and every time you say it you hear echoed back to you, “Glory be to God!” And you feel that if you were cot one of the white-robed ones "to greet him who came into the world a little child to save it, that you are here tr-day, one of the sinners for whom he died, for whom he has arisen and proven his divinity. The rest is for you; and this Easter morning, amid the flowers and the music and the great joy. conclude that death is no more, that there is going to be a resurrection of virtues, a sweet flower from the sin that has been buried. God bless each and every one of you who is my friend all the country over, and give you a happy Eastertide. Bab. DYSPEPSIA AND WRINKLES. Suggestions as to How Eotb May be A voided. Brooklyn, March 28.—50 many ques tions are asked about cook books that 1 feel aa if I ought not to disregard them any longer. But cook books are delicate and sometimes touchy subjects, and to give a preference for one over the many good oies on the market seems an act of unkindness and by many would be immeiiately con strued into a personal interest in the author of the favorite volume. The cook book in use at the Pratt institute of this city is Mrs. Lincoln’s, and I haie t<uud this volume ex ceptionally helpful and economical. The trouble with most of this domestic literature is that it makes too large a demand upon our purses and our stomachs, especially the last. I have yet to see what I con sider the proper authority on this all important subject of cookery. I have in my mind a book that shall teach the young housekeeper in the mo6t practical man: er how to buy and tiygienically pre pare food at a price which she can aiford to pay, but this is an ideal volume, and as far as I am personally concerned, will exist only in my imagination. A housekeeper whose family consists of husband, wife, baby and maid, told me the other day, that her bill for meat alone was never less than $8 a week. “What kind of meat do you buy?” I asked. “O, of course I always order porterhouse steak, porterhouse roasts, and French chops,” she replied. As the head of thislitte establishment was a traveling salesman with a salary not ex ceeding $2,000 a year, this kind of market ing seemed to me a cruel and reckless ex travagance. A little more than $lOO for meat alone. For a moment I was strongly tempted to give this foolish young wife a little instruction, but I wisely fore bore. If I had known of any printed and generally indorsed advice on the subject I couJd have delicately suggested a reading. Another housekeeper once told me that sue really believed she should sometimes pur chase less expensive meats if it were not for her oook, who had always lived in high toned families. This seems very ridiculous, but such extravagant concessions to the mistresses of our kitchens are by lo means uncommon. There is no sweeter, juicier or more nu tritious meat than is to be found in good round steak, and none capable of so many ways of treatment. There is nothing more delicious, more appetizing, and more nu tritious than a round steak ohopped or ground—l prefer the latter method—and made into balls. Broil carefully and when served on hot plates with nicely made and inexpensive corn bread, or raised rolls, one has a dish for the gods. What is the ob- jection to having a semi-occasional break fast and au occasional dinner of meat pre pared in this way? Asa refreshing con trast to the two examples .given above, I know of a well ordered house, where the salary of the bread winner is not less than $5,000 yearly, whose meat bills for six persons are never over $3 per week. But this housekeeper is a grad ate of Yassar College and knows how to put into practice all she has learned on the sub ject of domestio economy and chemistry. She is also a natural cook and is not ashamed to say that she considers French chops a totally unnecessary article in the ordinary bill of fare. The kitchen helper has been taught to prepare the daintiest dishes in a beautiful and economical style. There is no dyspepsia under this roof be cause the mistress has no desire for vain show, and possesses a deep and abiding in terest in everything pertaining to human welfare. This has been a long digression, but if there is any object on earth better calcu lated than cook books to lead to the ques tion of invalidism, extravagance—and to quote Dr. Watts—“damnation and the dead” I have never heard of it. I hope it will not seem an ungracious thing after the above remark to men ion Mrs. Rorer’s cook book which seems to give general satisfaction. The lady’s classes at the health food exhibit now in full blast at the Lenox lyceum, are well attended and calculated to do a great deal cf good. “Great-grandmother” writes me a charm ing letter in the sweetest and quaintest and plainest chirography I have ever seen. She was born, bred, married and has always lived in Richmond. "If you will And me a professional.” she says, “who will eradicate just one line in my old face I will make my will in her favor.’’ My venerable friend had better not be too rash in her offers, because .it is quite possible that the comparatively new science of massage could accomplish even more than this. It is only recently that I have fully appreciated the value of this method of manipulation. I am not speaking now of facial massage, but of general bodilv treat ment. When I found that Frof.

ZOE HATTON WALKS 3,395 MILES AND SCOOPS IN $24,0C0. Had 223 Days to Wa'k From San Francisco to the Grand Central Da li t,‘4w York—She Beat that Time by Thirteen Cays Lost Twenty four Pounds on the Journey. from the New York Sun. In the diiing room of one of the large hotels in S® Francisco one day last year was a party of actors and actresses with a sprinkling of sporting men. One of the number was Heorge H. Clark, a well-known sporting man, who has the reputation of being one of the heaviest gamblers west of the Rocky mountains. Clark had related inan enter taining style tha experiences of two young men who rode oi horseback from this city to the Golden Gate. Tnev averaged on the trip about fifteen miles a day. Zoe Gayton, the actress, who in the palmy days of tke Old Bowery theater in this city, when Ferdinand Hoefle was man ager, was the leading lady, was an eager listener to Clark’s story. After he had con cluded Mrs. Gayton jokingly remarked that she could walk the same distance in the time the horsemen took to ride it. Clark was somewhat nettled with the re mark of the little actress, as be considered the achievement of the two men as being little short of marvelous. “I’ll wager $2,000 that you cannot do it.” Clark exclaimed. “I will accept that for Mrs. Gayton,”. an swered a well-know commercial man. Upon her agreeing to undertake the jour ney, the match was made, and a forfeit put up then ana there. Numerous attempts were made subsequently to dissuade the pluoky woman from undertaking such an arduous aud exhausting task. When it was found that she would not abandon her trip, the skeptics, who did not believe her capa ble of covering the distance in the required time, 220 days, offered to wager large sums of money that she would tall. All such wagers were accepted. When no further wagers were forthcom ing it was discovered that $24,000 had been posted on the result of the longest tramp ever undertaken by a woman. In the face of many prophecies of failure Mrs. Gayton never lost her nerve, but went quietly at work preparing fortbe journey. Naturally of an indolent disposition, with a constitu tion imperiled by the ever chauging life of an actress, the only thing that worried her was the exposure to the elements and the hardships she was sure to undergo. On Aug. 20, at 4 p.m., she crossed the ferry to Oakdale. The next morning at 4 o’clock, accompanied by her manager, William T. Marshall, Clark’s representa tive, J. L. Price, and the aotresses little cocker spaniel Beauty, she started off at a brisk pace. In order to win the wager it became necessary for her to make at least fifteen miles a day. Before nightfall on the first day, twenty-six of the 3,395 miles had been oovered. On Aug. 29, she covered twenty-two miles, and the following four days twenty-three, twenty-two, twenty three, and nineteen miles respectively. She arrived at Sacramento on Sept. 2. At the start of the long tramp Mrs. Gay ton wore a bloomer costume, but she soon abandoned it. The little party created much interest as they strode through the sleepy California villages. To the woman, accustomed since a child to the glittering glare of the theater, and now wandering along in the open country, it soon became a novel experience. Whenever possible rooms were secured for rest during the night, but often the party were forced to form a hut composed of railroad ties to keep off the heavy dew. On Sept. 14, 300 miles having been cov ered, and being well on the way to Winae mucca, Nev., Mrs. Gayton fell aud sprained her ankle. Thiß necessitated a rest for some days. After this they were overtaken by a blizzard, and all suffered severely from the intense cold. The schedule of fifteen miles a day was kept up as much as possible. The longest distance covered in one day was a little less than forty miles. After leaving Battle Grove, a collection of huts in Nevada, no houses were sighted for three days. The party also went without food during that period. Very little bag gage was carried. Two small hand sachels contained everything. The route chosen was along the railroads. Being frequently taken for tramps, they suffered many rebuffs. At plades where the party made known their errand they were well received. Last Monday after noon the weary pedestrians were gladdened by tbe sight of the mauy hills of Albany. The h miestroatch had been reached, and in a few more days the long journey would be over. The fine weather of the past few days raised the spirits of the pedestrians consid erably. Upon their arrival at Kingsbridge they were greeted by a rabble, of which the small boy was predominant. The rest of the journey wss little short of an ovation, and the five mouuted policemen detailed as an escort had all tliey could do to keep the crowd in bounds. The route from High Bridge was along Baily avenue to Sedgwick; thence to McComb’s Dam bridge, to Seventh avenue, to Ninetieth street; then down Fourth avenue to Forty-third street, to the Grand Central station, where a crowd of several thousand people had assembled. Mrs. Gayton arrived at her journey’s end at exactly 3:51 o’clock, winning with thir teen days to spare. After a short rest at the station the party took a coach to the Police Gazette office, where they were pho tographed. Mrs. Zoe Gayton, whose real name is Zoereka Topezera, was bom in Madrid, Spain, in 1854. She came to America with her parents when but 4 years old. She made her debut on the stage as a supernumerary at the age of 14. She gradually arose in the professian and quickly gained a wide spread reputation in the west and south. When Mrs. Gayton started for ’Frisco last August she weighed 163 pounds. Now she weighs but 139. She is 5 feet 3 inches tall. Her faoe shows the effects of a long journey, being as bronzed as an old sea captain’s. In answer to a query yea’erday whether she would like to undertake the trip a sec ond time, her reply was: “Not for the world. When I left San Francisco my hair had not a gray hair in it. W hat you see there now are due to the strain I* have beon under, and I had all I could do to keep from breaking down.” Although Mrs. Gaytou has had several offers from museum managers, she has re fused them all, and declares that until she takes her own company on the road, in about a month, she will rest quietly at a hotel in this city. The Rothschilds are believed to have $50.- 000,000 invested in American securities. Only the Rothschilds themselves know what they are worth, and they never tell family secrets. O.ie of their mottoes is, “Gold never repeats wbat it sees,'' and another, “A man will not tell what he has not heard,” but some idea of their riches can be had from the fact that since 1815 they have raised for Great Britain alone more than $1,000,000,000; for Austria, $250,000,000: for Prussia, $200,000,000; for France, $400,000,000; for Italy, nearly $300,000,000; for Russia, $125.- 000,000; for Brazil, from $60,000,000 to $70,000,- 000: and for smaller states certainly between $200,000,000 and $300,000,0X1 more. Unjust Taxation. It is unjust to tar the stomach with burthens that it cannot bear. Many silly people thus tyrannize that faithful servitor until it rebels and punishes them as they deserve.
