Sanctimonious Elder Editorial Freak
Shepard was the only putative journalist in
New Yurk that allowed his paper to even
try to take advant ga of the birth of
Mr. Cleveland’s little baby daughter to
make republican political capital by the
flagrant statement that the infant’s birth had
not been properly registered within the time
prescribed by law. Though the statement
was a lie, that was probably an inconse
quential matter to the policy of a profes
sional piety paper and its pluperfect pro
prietor. Political capital was the end in
view, however disreputable the means em
ployed. Properly enough the iguoble effort
was a contemptible failure.
Describing the feminine attire in which it
is alleged that Jefferson Davis attempted
to escape capture when discovered at the
close of the late unpleasantness a Washing
ton correspondent rays that the garments
consisted of “an old-faßhioned water-proof
made of light gray cloth bespattered with
mud, a red cashmere shawl and a pair of
spurs.” Whatever might bo said of the
“red cashmere shawl” the spurs were cer
tainly not a garment nor distinctively
feminine. As for the gray water-proof—
that may or may not have been of mascu
line fashion. In those days gentlemen wore
talmas of military length lashioned some

For some time past the buxom and shapely
cantatrice Pauline Hail has had an ex-rub
ber drummer from Boston named
McClellan managiu? her company. It now
appears that he has also been managing her
Individually with soma degreo of success.
Biuce last spring they have been married,
they now confess. Managing so popular a
public kicker must have proven far more
pleasant than selling gum garments as well
affording greater pec miary resources. Be
ing a prudent and thrifty young man he
concluded to husband his resources, as it
were. Hence this connubial harmony for
two. Possibly it may also be largely due to
tbe fascinating and very fetching Pauline.
Producing harmony is a part of her voca
tion.
Reporting the recent New York lecture
of Dr. McGlynn some of toe pa,x:rs herded
it “Dr. McGlynn on tho Pope.” Apparently
th 9 doctor himself thought he was on the
pope with both feet if we are to judge
from bis irreveieat remarks. Among other
things be said the time might come "when
we will bave a democratic pope who will
walk down Broadway with a stove-pipe
hat ou bis head.” Then he proceeded to
advise the pops not to ilstea to the flattery
of such men as Archbishop Corrigan.
While assuring him that be was the
greatest pope that ever lived, the
lent ror sad they were getting
ready to assure the next one that
be is greater than all bis predecessors. In the
language of New Yorkers, sucu flattery
wa* “taffy.” He also commiserated tbe
pope on approaching senility, and wound
up by saying, “Holy Father, 1 am ashamed
of y u.” But it does appearJu-t a trifle pe

The Ocala Demands.
The allian© did not gee all it wanted
from the Isgisl .lure, but it -Ot a partial
iaJ rsemeut of the Ocala platform from the
H. m. Th* Trammell resolution which the
M ■ a.!coted requeUs congress to provide
, ... , ccc the evils f whioa the national
.. . .4 ance c enplaned at their con-
x.j xVala, especially those which re
o.aj the present fina trial and taxation
■ . ver neat There was very
. o opposition to th:-resolution, though it
u.d have been be.ter for the Democratic
t.v of the state if no action whatever had
bee : taken with resi'cct to the Ocala de
mand*. Those demands constitute the
platform of an orgiui.-ation which is com
posed of deni'grata ami republicans. They
are also the leading features of
the platform of the People’s
party which was organized at
Cincinnati list May. It was not right,
therefore, nor was it good policy, for a dem
cratic 1 gis.ature to appear to indorse them,
even though a majority of the legislators
were aliiaucemen, because such indorse
ment, in a measure, committed the Demo
cratic party to them.
The Democratic party of this state
has not indorsed them, nor is it likely
to do so. They were not an issue
when the legislature was elected, and the
people gave the legislature no Instructions
with respect to them. The House, there
fore,in even partly indorsing them,exceeded
its authority.
Whether the action of the House in adop
ting the Trammell resolution will play any
part in the next campaign in this slate
is a question that cannot now be answered
with any degree of certainty. Judging
from present indications it will. Demo
crats who are not aliiancemen will be
likely to resent the efforts of tbe alliance
to commit tbe Democratic party of the
state to political doctrines which are not
recognized as democratic, and which will
never be adopted by the national Demo
cratic t arty.
The course pursued by alliance members
of the legislature indicates a settled deter
mination on the part of the alliance to com
pel the Democratic party of the state to ac
cept tbe Ocala platform, and It is quite cer
tain that a resolution indorsing that plat
form will be introduced Into the next demo
cratic state convention. Such a resolution
would, of course, meet with bitter resist
ance, and even if it should be passed, the
Ocala platform would not be accepted by
non-alliance democrats, unloss that plat
form should be approved by tbe convention
of the national Democratic party. As
there is not the remotest probability of that
convention doing anything of that kind al
liance democrats in this state would gaiu
nothing by forcing the democratic organi
zation of the state to indorse the Ocala
doctrines. Some of the alliance leaders
might be gratified, but that would be all.
The adoption of the Trammell resolution,
therefore, by the House was unwise. It can
not benefit the alliance and may lead to dis
sensi ns in the Democratic party of the
stats.
Has La Grippe Reappeared?
It is reported that la grippe has reap
peared In many places in Connecticut and
Rhode Island. A dirpntoh from Plainfield,
Conn., for instance, states that lung and
eaturrhal diseases are very prevalent, aud
that at least nine-tenths of the people are
suffering from severe colds. At Jewett
City, in the same state, a number of deaths
have occurred from what is believed to bo
la grippe, and in portions of Rhode Island
tbe disease is said to be more severe than
during the epidemic of it in 1889.
It is sincerely to be hoped that the coun
try is not to be aid ictod again with la grippe.
There have been two epidemics of it within
the last three years, and it caused thousands
of deaths and a vast amount of suffering.
There are many in about every community
in the entire country who have not yet re
covered from the effects of it. And it is a
question whether they ever will. Whenever
they take a slight cold they suffer from a
lung or throat trouble of some kind, and
consequently they have to bo oontiuuaUy
guarding against unusual exposure.
The disease that is prevailing in Connecti
cut aud Rhode Island is a very serious one,
if the reports concerning it are not exagger
ated. It rapidly develops into typhoid
fever or pneumonia, and the percentage of
cases which result fatally is very large. It
may not be la grippe, but if it is not it is
very much like it.
An epidemic of la grippo is almost as
much to be dreaded as an epidemic of chol
era. It is not so alarming as ooolera, of
course, because it is not so fatal, aud also
because those who die from it do not die so
quioklv after being attacked, but so few
escape it when it becomes epidemic,
and it so impairs tbo health of the
majority of those who recover
from it, that reports of its reappearance in
any part of tho country are calculated to
excite grave apprehensions. When it first
made its appearance in this country it was
the subject, of a good deal of merriment,
but nobody now speaks lightly of it. It has
proven itself to be a very dangerous disease.
According to the latest Boston story Tim
othy Hopkins has consented to pull out of
the famous Beatles will contest for the con
sideration of $10,000,000, and Mr. Edward
S. Searles has consented to give up that
portion of the estate rather than undergo
the tortures of the inquisition egatu.
Ail this was brought nbrnt by the lawyers.
There was a secret conference in Boston,
which was attended by bnh lawyers aud
prmcipia.s. Timothy was bound to have
his share. At first he wanted $12,000,000.
That was on the assumption that Ibe whole
estate inventoried about f'io.UOO.OOO. If
Hopkins had hr ken the will oa the ground
of undue influence he would have had the
half. ManifeiUy the strongest influence oa
both sides leading to a compromise lias
been the Southern I’aciiio stock. No one
wanted that to become split up and div.ue.l
about outside. Just here is recognizable

Louisiana appears to be gradually falling

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 18K.
The King Solomon Show.
The people of Atlanta appear to be excited
and divided by tbe King Solomon show
which is one of the attractions secured by
the Piedmont Exposition Company. The
exposition does cot appear to command
much attention. At lead, very little is being
said about it in comparison with the talk
concerning the spectacular drama of King
| Solomon.
The question whether tbe drama is one
that tbe moral portion of tbe Atlanta people
would take pla .sure in seeing is being dis
cussed, and it is pretty safe to say that the
discussion will have tbe effect of increasing
Kii g Solomon’s audiences. It is asserted
that a great many pretty girls will appear
in the show, and that they will not be over
burdened with clothes. Doubtless the girls
wiil look pretty whether they are or not.
Paint and powder will do wonders
in hiding their defects, and they will seem
to be very near perfection in tbe eyes of
the averago Atlanta youDg man and the
bald-headed fellows who will scramble for
the front seats.
After all, King Solomon is probably as
mrral as any of the other purely spectacular
dramas that are seen upon the stage, and
the harm that will be received by those who
witness it will not be so great as to be par
ticularly noticeable. Indeed, it is doubtful
if it will disturb the consciences of any of
those who patronize it.
But those who were led to believe that
King Solomon would be a free show have
a real grievance. It seems that it was ad
vertised that those who purchased expedi
tion tickets would have the privilege of sße
ing King Solomon in all his glory for noth
ing. It turns out, however, that the ar
rangements are such that only those who
pay an extra quarter of a dollar wili get a
view of it. Naturally there is a good deal
of vigorous protesting, and it may be that
this extra quarter of a dollar is tbe founda
tion of much of the talk about King Solo
mon being an immoral Bhow.
And tbe members of tbe city council
have a grievance. They have been provided
with passes for only one day and they con
fidently expected season tickets. They have
sent back the one day passes and have
virtually determined to pay their own way
and see King Solomon and his girls as often
as they please.
Between the prohibitionists who insist
that no intoxicants shall be sold on the ex
hibition grounds, the very moral people
who object to King Solomon, and the mem
bers of the city council who want free
posses for every day of the show the expo
siiion managers are having a pretty rough
road to travel. But they are after the dol
lars and will get them.
Last year’s senior class of an Indiana
educational institution oalled Perdu Univer
sity has involved itself in a scrape that the
Chicago superior court has been asked to
unravel. All the trouble is over a bill for
publishing the college annual entitled the
•‘Debris of 1891,” wherein, among other
eloquent things, tbe plaintiff says that
“the mighty achievements of the
class were set down in bold type
that the seniors might be dis
tinguished in the annals of Perdu.”
When the Uliuois Printing Company did
the work last April a coutraot was made
with Senior Arville W. Bitting, whom
the class selected for that pur
pose and whom President J.
H. Smart recommended by letter to
the printers. Of the whole bill, amounting
to over 81,900, the plaintiff says half the
monb/ was paid. Then remittances are
said to have ceased and Bitting was sued
for the balance of SSSL To the surprise of
the plaintiff he entered a plea of infancy.
Then the attomoy for the printers amended
his declaration to include thirty-five young
men and women who were members of the
class. In regard to the plea of infancy the
amended paper says rather sharply that the
defendants made no mention of their minor
ity when they entered the contract, There
fore the plaintiff believes that statement to
bo false “whatever may be their infantile
mental and moral characters.” Evading
an honest debt is certainly a very bad way
for a whole class of young Americans to
start out.
Out in Chicago an ad vertising agent has
been brought up stauiiug iu court in an
interesting way. Publisher William D.
Boyce has brought a suit for ,‘,OOO
damages in the Chicago circuit court
against George P. Rowell’s firm. They
publish in New York the American News
paper Directorg, which purports to give
the circulation of newspapers throughout
the country. Publisher Boj ce says he went
to New York personally and presented
proof to George P. Rowell of tha weekly
circulation of his paper. Notwithstanding
his evidence to that effect he alleges that
the defendants rated his paper below the
actual circulation, and added that thoy had
not received satisfactory information rela
tive to the circulation thereof. This suit
will probably be watched with iuterest and
close attention by advertisers as well as
publishers all over the country. Many
ue a spacer publishers have for yoars com
plained that the directory in question did
injustice to them in its ratings of their cir
culation .
One of the most noticeable features of the
presrnt campaign in the eastern states is
the largo number of gorgeous pictorial vic
tories that tbe republican ne > spapers are
winning. As that is about all tho s.ui-f.tc
tion they are likely to get out of the scuttle
it wc.uid bo very unkind lo deprive them of
It. Their exuberant glee is amusing to the
public. A recent number the New York
Recorder obtained a drawing representing
Blaine and Fassett rigged out in tho fantastic
garb of a pair of medieval bandits and
aiming their swords at a crouching tiger
designed to represent Tammany Hall. But
tbe beast has an ugly look on bis feline vis
age and doesn’t appear to te bait os much
alarmed as his attitude might suggest. In
deed the brute looks quite capable of chew
ing the bones of both the aspiring hunters
on very slight provocation.
When that, world’s fair junketing com

of mo her’s pet and father’s joy, says the
Philadelphia Ledger— and he was taking dinner
with his father in one of the downtown cafes
yesterday. Before he left he had attracted
more attention than if he had been a noted
man.
This sweet boy, who had been introduced to a
pair of knickerbocker s, sat at a round table in
the restaurant beside his father.
It was that time of the day when nearly all
the banker< and merchants appear to feel
hungry, so the tables in the large cafe were
crowded.
At the same table with the boy sat one of
those stern-faced ousiness men whose counte
nance would give him away if he wanted to
deny his occupation
He was corpulent and appeared to take pride
in his luxuriant whiskers. There was another
man at the table-a slight, round-shouldered
young fellow—who looked as if he mig it be a
cierk in one of the many offices surrounding the
restaurant.
As soon as father and son sat down It was ev
ident there was going to be trouble. The
youngster immediately minutely examined ev
erything on the table within reach He took
the stopper out of the oil bottle and asked his
father to smell it.
“Funny vinegar, ain't it?" he exclaimed.
“You mustn't do that," said the father
timidly. “I'ou are a bad boy-(a glance at the
old merchant)—aud I shan't take you out
azain."
When the waiter brought bread and a napkin
the father gently tucked the latter under his
son's chin Then the elder gave bis order. He
asked the youngster what he would have, and
for the answer the “kid" merely turned un
easily in his chair. Finally he blurted out:
“Ice cream!"
There was no mistaking his order, for he gave
It in such a loud, l voice that everybody
in the room looted around.
The waiter departed, and paterfamilias again
remonstrated with the dear little fellow in the
conventional manner and again informed him
he was a bad boy, glancing at the merchant
now aud theu, as if expecting an approving
smile.
But the merchant didn't smile. He tried to
eat his dinner and read his paper. In the
meantime the good little boy ha t tils napkin
out two or three times and was trying to kill
flies with it. Tne dinner came, while papa from
time to time repeated the assertion, which he
felt sure was untrue, that his offspring was a
bail boy.
They got through, and the little one was
using his napkin for a handkerchief and mop
ping his brow with it. Tne stout business man
was sipping his coffee and puffing on his cigar.
The merchant had been looking in the direction
of the child, who at that moment had left his
chair and was industriously trying to climb up
his father’s hack.
“How old is your son?" inquired the mer
chant of the father.
You could t-ll tne father was proud. His
face was a bundle of smiles—if any one ever
saw such a parcel.
“Tell the gentlonien how old you are, Alfred,"
he ordered th * boy.
*‘No, I won’t.”
“Com*, now! I won’t taka you out again!"
Shakes him a little and tries to look severe.
“He's nearly !"
“I should like to adopt him," the merchant
continued.
“Hear that, Alfred!" remarked Alfred's pa
to the youth. “This gentleman wants to adopts
you Will you go to him?"
“Naw! He's got whiskers!" This was spoken
very violently.
Paterfamilias looked tired, and his cheeks
burned after this unexpected outburst. He tried
Lo shake Alfred azain, but the boy evaded him.
“What makes you fancy him?" inquired the
proud father.
“Fancy him?" echoed the business man. “I
did not fay that."
“But you wanted to adopt him?"
“Yes—to give me authority to spank him!"
The symposium dispersed, paterfamilias
scowled at the merchant, grasped Albert by the
hand and ma lea hasty exit. Tne waiters smiled,
the guests laughed aid the merchant continued
s*moklng bis after-dinner cigar.

Tho writer once asked Col. Ingersoll what was
the greatest compliment he ever received, says
tho Indianapolis Sews. He thought a moment
aud said: “I will tell you. 1 was strolling about
the lobby of tbv Grand Pacific hotel In Chicago,
one evening after supper smoking aci :ar and
waiting for some friends with whom I was going
out to spend the evening. I saw a vacant chair
and sat down in it. Presently 1 was accosted by
a man sitting near who was trying to smoke.
“I noticed that he was crying. He said
‘stranger, did you ever read that* pointing to
a poster six feet long and three and one-half
wide hanging against the wall of the Grand
Pacific office, giving the ‘dream’ or vision’
portion of mv speech at the soldiers'
reunion at Indianapo.is only a short time be
fore.
“ ‘Yak’ I replied. ‘I have read it.'
“The fellow sobbed away for a few moments
longer aud continued:
*’ ‘Stranger, do you know what I think?'
“ ‘No; what do you think?'
“ ‘Well, sir. I have a copy of that bill hang
ing in my store at Tuscoia, JH, and I watc i
every man • hat comes in read it and I tell you,
any man that can read that through and not
cry is blankety, blank, blank, and 1 would n
trust him a y further than i could throw a niaie
I bovine by the tail. I tell you his heart is not m
th-* rignt place.'
“Now," said Col. Ingersoll, “if that man did
not know who I was, and I have no idea taat
he did, that is greatest compliment I ever
had paid me."
The Sweetest Sonar*
Alonzo Leora Rice in Indianapolis Newt.
With trembling fingers iak* the harp,
And touch the strings with gentle care,
For stern reproof is quick and sharp,
To - ne who lingers there;
Ih*momb'nng all the masters old.
Intense with thought o'er them have hung,
And of the words that yet are told,
Tho sweetest songs are stiil unsung.
The ocean has a secret wave
That breaks unseen an t softly dies,
Where merma ds in tho fountains lave.
And seaweeds fail and rise;
So flows tbe current of the heart j
Where ple&sinz shapes are ever young.
And thus the truth w ill ue'er depart -
The sweetest songs are sti l unsung.

Capt. B. R. Cromwell has been ordered to
the command of the Norfolk navy yard, being
detached from the League Island n .vyyard.
It has not been known until now how the
French explorer, Paul Crampel, met his death
in C ntral Africa. Some survivors of his party
say he was killed treacherously in ambush.
Wlnle in a village ho asked for water The na
tives took him to a well, and when he drew
near it other natives jumped from the bust 1 ,
stabbed him in the back and then threw his
body in the well. The survicors.cn their re
treat to Brazzaville, were reduced to such ex
tremities that they were forced to eat the leaves
of trees.
Any one who cherishes the honor of being

Some of the oddest humau beings on this con
tinent Inhabit the islands of the,Chesapeake.
Spesutia Island, usually pronounce 1 Spesootha,
is far up the hay, and serves chiefly as a land
ing place for gunners. Further down are Wye
aud Kent islands, long settled and highly cul
tivated, the former once the home of tho Paea
family, tho subject of many romantic tradi
tions Still further south is the archipelago
called Tangier Sound Hereabouts the coast
is lined with a multitude of small islands in
habited by a hardy race of amphibians whoso
lives are given up to th i business and pleasure
of lis.dng. These islands are the scenes of the
famous oyster wars, and the idanders have
much the same attitude toward the oyster laws
that mountain moonshiners have toward excise
legislation.
Fine proportions for a woman are a small
head, shouiders rather sloping aud narrow, the
torso full aud wijest at the hips; whiie the
front line from the s ernuna over the abdomen
should show first a sent e and then a full out
ward curve. Ti e conventional figure of the
day is at variance with this type. E*ery effort
is made to imitato masculine characteristics
The shoulders are thrust up high and square, or
made to appear so, tha torso is made to taper
in, and everything under neavea is done to
make the waist look small. Tne front line is
forced to take an inward curve below the bust
and the side hues to form an awkward angle, in
tne hollow of which voluminous skirts are hung.
One should study sculpture with the new
knowledge of these proportions most thought
fully, till the rhythm of the lines has fastened
itself upon the memory. Studyiug the pictures
of th • best artists of every age, we shall find
these principles everywhere demonstrated. The
charm of womaul/ proportion is in the long
curve from armpit to ankle, which is so differ
ent from the beauty of a manly figure.
“A popular topical soDg makes me tired,"
said Manager Tom Davis, who had just returned
to New York from the road. “The more popu
lar it is the more tired I get of it. Last week !
stepped into in Chicago and the
comedian sang: ‘O, What a Difference in the
Morning.’ The next night I went to the Colum
bia. and there the same old song struck me. I
bolted after tho first verse and took the train
for Philadelphia. At the first theiter I went to
I had scarcely got seated before the orchestra
struck up the air: *O, What a Difference in the
Morning.’ This was enough to drive a man
to driuk, and I started out immediately to
get one. I met a couple of friends while I
was out, and we finally went over to the Chest
nut Street theater. We were down pretty well
in front, and don't you know, pretty soon Digby
Bell came on, and, looking me right in the eye,
began to warble that confounded topical 6ong,
‘O, What a Difference iu the Morning!’ The
Chestnut Street theater is the only place where
that chestnut could be appropriately sung, so I
had to sit it out—seventeen verses and seven
teen encores. When I left the theater I went
straight to the telegraph office and wired my
company at San Francisco that if our comedian
ever sang that song to give him the usual two
weed’s notice."
There is usually a sporting air about the
dressing room of certain well-known actors.
One hot night a short time ago I happened in
upon De Wolf Hopper at the Broadway. They
were just setting the scenery for the second
act of thatcharming comic opera “Wang,” and
I dodged the beer-guzzlmg elephant just as it
was being swu -g up out of the way oi' the cho
rus gir.s and slipped m o Hopper's dressing
room. He had ju.it come off and was porspiring
like a quarter horse. But this did not int*T
fere v. th a heated dftcussion between himself
arid Lis handsome tenor, Stanley, as to
the merits and demerits of the sluggers iu a re
c ut prizH fight. Several bets were offered and
taken; all tne time the comedian’s dresser, a
slim young man in a csrefuily nursed mustache
and a French soidierte uniform, was getting his
pri; c pal rea l;.* for the next act. Hopper is
8001* thing of an ath eta himself aud his stalwart
figure seemed almost gigaulic in this small
ro m and among us small im*n. He went on
presently, hut hood returne 1 with beads
trickling over the grease paint. ‘A hot night
and & cold house," said he iu dis
gust. “I didn't get a hand. Fact! Where
I usually get an encore I never got a hand! Hot
night always gives a cold house.'’ “Wa’U go a
tenuer apiece," said Tenor Stanley," continuing
the sporting conversation where it had beea
broken off by cue. “and see what
comes of it. And if—" At this juncture the
stage director aked mo if I ever saw the bottom
of an elephant's Leer glass, and thereupon
kindly showed me that work of stage art.
It was a flat-bottomed, plain
cylindrical glass with a handle
liko the regulation mug and had a
h in the bottom plugged with a cork. Thi*
mug holds about a gallon, and when it is
brougnt on and set casually upon the tib.e it
covers a certain hole on the latter. When the
elephant sneaks mauddipa his trunk in tho
beer the stage manager in tho wing pulls a
string and knocks the cork out; and thus, while
tho audience is laug ting heartily at the ele
phant's capacity for beer, and wondering where
it all goes to, the liquid is rapidly running
through the hole into a bucket under tho
table.
