New Yorkers were considerably alarmed
by the earthquake shock that was exjieri
enced in that city last Wednesday morning.
The windows rattled and houses swayed.
People were awakened out of a sound sleep
by the quake, which, it is nlleged, lasted
about fifleen seconds. Manhattan Island
has had three earthquakes in nine years,
and the people are wondering whether its
•olid foundation isn’t getting a Uttle eheky,
I The Gold Reserve.
The administration will not issue bonds
j for gold unless it should beeima absolutely
| necessary to do so, and just at present the
j indications are that the necessity will not
arise. The Harrison administration left
the treasury in a depleted condition and with
very little of what is known as "free gold.”
It was the policy of that administration to
preserve intact the 1100,000,000 of gold that
Is reserved for the redemption of the treas
ury notes, and in support of that policy it
had arranged to issue bonds for gold. The
necessity for issuing them did not arise, how
ever, although the amount of "free gold”
in the treasury when it went out of office
was only a little more than $1,000,000.
It is understood thst this administration
has decided upon a different policy. Bonds
will not be issued even if all the "free gold”
is drawn out of the treasury and the SIOO,-
000,000 is encroached upon, unless the en
croachment upon that reserve should be*
come sufficiently great to cause a lack of
oonfidence in the ability of the government
to redeem its treasury notes in gold. In
that event bonds for gold might be issued.
There is some ground for thinking that
from now on the outflow of gold will be
much less than it has been, so that there
wilt be an opportunity for accumulating
gold in the treasury. And the western
banks are offering gold quite freely for
treasury note*. After all, the government
may get along without encroaching upon
the $100,000,(XX) reserve or issuing bonds.
About the Offices.
If the reports sent out from Washington
are correct, Mr. Cleveland does not intend to
appoint to office any of those who held
office under his first administration, nor
does he intend to remove any republicans
who were appointed for a term of four
years except for cause. When their terms
are ended he will appoint democrats to suc
ceed them.
It will not be long before it will be defi
nitely known what Mr. Cleveland’s policy
is in the foregoing particulars. If he does
not intend to give offices to any of those
who have heretofore held offloe under him
a large portion of the office-seekers will be
eliminated from the office-seeking crowd,
and if republicans appointed for four
years are to be permitted to serve out
their terms those who are seeking their
places will have plenty of time to get their
"influence” in working shape. It can be
stated with a good deal of certainty that
Mr. Cleveland's idea that “a public office is
a public trust” is going to manifest itself in
a good many ways under this administra
tion.
Senator Hill nt the White House.
President Cleveland and Senator Hill
cannot be such bitter enemies as the public
has been led to believe by the publications
which have appeared in the New Y T ork pa
pers. They may not be in entire aocord in
respect to political matters in New York,
but it looks very much as if they either
have or intended to have an understanding
with each other. Senator Hill’s call at the
white house on Thursday and his conference
with the President indicate that there is no
such hostility between them as to justify
the belief that the senator will do what he
can to defeat the measures of the adminis
tration that come before the Senate.
No intimation has been givea to the
public of what passed between the Presi
dent and the senator at their interview,
but the conclusion that the political
gossips has reaohod is that the Inter
view was mutully satisfactory.
It is probable that Senator Hill intends to
support the administration. If he does not
be would hardly have called on the Presi
dent. He has come to the conclusion,
doubtless, that by posing as an enemy of
the administration he would do himself a
great deal more harm than he would Mr.
Cleveland.
The impression is that there will be no
discrimination against those democrats in
New York who opposed Mr. Cleveland’s
nomination. It is probable that political
differences will be forgotten and that the
factious will work together in harmony.
Postmaster General Bissell’s determina
tion that the postmasters under his admin
istration shall be postmasters in fact, and
not in name only, will result in the patrons
of small offices receiving improved service.
Under the old way of running things,
oountry postoffices were frequently sought
by merchants merely for the advertisement
that tbe location of the offices In their stores
would give them, and the actually ruuqlng
of the office was a very small consideration.
Clerks, children—anybody, everybody—
took a hand in running the postofflees, with
tbe oonsequence that the offices were far
short of what they should have been,
A "slick” thing to be exhibited at the
world’s fair is a full sized statue of Ada
Reban, the actress, done in butter. It will
be modeled after the now famous silver
statue of Justice built on Miss Kehau's lines.
So far no quarrel among the actresses about
posing for the butter model has developed,
probably because tbe sisterhood, the cream
of tbe st%ge, regards It as a questionable
honor to be portrayed in tbe product of
sour cream vigorously beaten, and which
is liable to become ranoid after exposure.
yhrough a clerk’s error tbe woman’s board
of managers of the world's fair has been
given absolute control of the $570,000 for
all of tbe world’s fair premiums aud awards,
and also, it is believed, the power to appoint
all jurors, male and femalo. The error
came about by the engrossing clerk writing
“lady managers” in the wrong blank space
in the bill carrying tbe appropriation.
The ladles, however, have agreed to pay
the money over to the proper parties with
out regard to the terms of the bill.
Tbe most magnificent hotel in tbis
country—tbe new Waldorf In New York—

blanche by bis employers and exerted him
self to surpass everything else in the hotel

Lavelle, the Charleston murderer who has
slipped away from the gallows a dozen

although his career as a condemned man
has been u remarkable one. He called bis
wife to the door of her unole’s residence, on
the principal thoroughfare of the city, at and
shot her to death, just as any ordinary as
sassin might have done.

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, MARCH 11, 1893.
Gray'e Good Fortune.
Ex-Gov. Gray, of Indiana, is one of the
first of the prominent democrats of the
country to be taken care of by thft adminis
tration. He has been nominated for min
ister to Mexico, which is one of the beet
positions in the gift of the government. In
some respects it ie the most desirable of the
foreign missions. It is a first-class mission
now, and the pav Is the same as that of the
mission to England, France, Germany and
Russia, viz, $17,500 a year. The climate of
the City of Mexico is good, and the cost
of living there in a representative capacity
is not half what it is in London, Paris,
Berlin or St. Petersburg.
Doubtless Mr. Cleveland felt he ought to
do something for Mr. Gray because Mr.
Gray’s friends have been extremely active
and urgent in his behalf. They tried to
nominate him for PreeiSent at Chicago, and
wnen they saw he had no chance for that
position they made an earnest effort to have
him nominated for Vice President. He
missed getting that position also owing to
the fact that the majority of the convention
preferred Mr. Stevenson.
After the nominations were made and he
had been left out in the cold te was rather
disposed to sulk, but, finally, he concluded
that there was still a chance to satisfy his
ambition, in a measure, and so he helped to
carry Indiana for the democracy. It seemed
to be understood that he would be invited to
enter the cabinet if Mr. Cleveland should
be eleoted. It turned out, however, that
Mr. Cleveland didn’t care to have Mr. Gray
for one of his advisers; that he would
rather have him out of the country then in
it. So Mr. Gray goes to the City of Mexico,
and he ought to be thankful that he has
been provided for so handsomely. With a
Mg salary and nothing to do he will have
plenty of time during the next four years
to reach the conclusion that though he
hasn’t got what he sought be has been re
warded to the extent of his deserts.
Flower's Costly Island.
Last summer when New York harbor
was crowded with cholera infected ships,
and the health offloer of New York did not
know what to do with the cholera-infected
passengers, Gov. Flower promptly pur
chased Fire Island, holding himself liable
for the purchase money and depending
upon the state to reimburse him aud accept
the island at the price he paid for it The
price paid was $210,000, of which amount
the governor gave his check for $50,000.
A bill Is pending in the New York legis
lature which bat for its object the legaliz
ing of the governor's act, and the returning
to the governor of the amount of money
which he advanced.
The legislature of New York seems to be
unwilling to ratify the governor’s act.
Borne of the senators hold that as Fire
Island is assessed at only about SS,OOO the
governor paid an exorbitant price for it,
and they are not willing the state shall be
“gouged” by those who apparently took
advantage of the state’s necessities.
They also say that the island
is not tit for a cholera hospital and could
not be used for that purpose to advantage
if the state should acquire it.
The governor does not appear to be un
easy over his Fire Island purchase. On the
contrary he seems to be confident that the
legislature will ratify his aot in the matter
just as soon as the legislators get through
putting themselves on record agaiost the
purchase. They are posing now with the
view of making it appear that they are ex
tremely economical and very aotive In look
ing after the Interests of the people.
The governor doesn’t care whether the
legislators ratify what he has done or not.
lie will take the island lor himself if the
state doesn’t want it. He Is confident be
can make it pay a good interest on the pur
chase price. The ways of the average New
York politician are past finding out.
Alabama’s Election Law.
A majority of the southern states will
hold their next elections under improved
ballot laws, embodying the Australian
system, or modifications thereof. West
Virginia, Kentuoky, Mississippi, Tennessee,
Texas, Arkansas aud Alabama have joined
the ballot reform states in their inarob of
progress. Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Louisiana
are the states that still cling to the old Bys
tems and remain behind the times. But tbe
Hontimeut in favor of ballot reform is grow
ing, at least iu this state, aud it is to be
hoped that Georgia will soon take her place
along with her more progressive sisters.
A ballot law modeled after the general
plan of the one just adopted by Alabama
seems to be what is wanted for this state.
Alabama’s law follows closely tbe plan of the
Massachusetts law, providing fora "blanket
ballot” with the names of the can
didates grouped in alphabetical order
under each office. Ample provis
ion is made for illiterates, who
are allowed to "have the assistance of an
inspector, to be selected by the elector, or a
person appointed for that purpose by the in
spectors of election.” If an elector so de
sires he may, before retiring to the booth,
* ‘have one of the dork) of election read
over to him the titles of the offices to be
filled aud of the candidates therefor.”
Thus, it appear) that the educational
qualification is not very burdensome and
should not disfranchise any person of ordi
nary Intelligence. Indeed, Alabama could
hardly afford to set the educational stand
ard very high, for obvious reasons. And the
same reasons exist in Georgia. A law like
Alabama’s would accomplish a great deal in
Georgia toward preventing bribery.
Bribery at elections has become a great evil
and there ought to be no hesitation to take
steps to prevent it.
The Atlanta Journal says tbe statement
that Mr. B. M. Blackburn was too urgent
in presenting biß candidacy for tbe Japanese
mission to the I’resident, is all wrong, Mr.
Ulaokburn has not been near tbe President,
he says; and furthermore, be is conducting
his candidacy in a quiet and dignified man
ner. The Mornino News published the
statement on tbe authority of the New
York World, corroborated by the Atlanta
•Journal; so, in justice to Mr. Blackburn,
it gives the substance of the Journal’s cor
rection.
There are but five first-class diplomatic
missions—those at London, Paris, Berlin,
Mexico and Ht. Petersburg. The salary at
tached to each of these Is $17,501). And
there are only a few second-class missions—
Vienna, Home, Madrid, Rio Janeiro, Pekin,
Tokio, etc. These pay $12,000 a year. The
other diplomatic posts are not very attract
ive to the "heavy-weights” of politics, so
that the newspaper minister-makers should
soon finish their task of disposing of the
leading democrats.
Even the Kansans have acknowledged
that tbe Australian ballot system is a good
thing. Very soon the states along the South
Atlantic seaboard will lie the only ones re
taining the antiquated and questionable
election systems discarded by tbe states of
tbe north, east and west.

versal popularity, t rnment in letters, politics,
oratory, finance and other ways, but ne is not a
social oracle. It is only the fact t at he is ac
quainted with the prince and that Mr. McAllister
is not that makes it proper for him to speak on
this subject Mr. Depew’s remarks will le
rather a shock to those who have been taking
Mr. McAllister’s solemn advice to heart, but the
world of fashion knows where to look for light.
“How does the Prince of Wales invite you to
luncheon. Mr. Depew?”asked the interviewer.
“In writing to me be always writes as one
American gentleman would to another. His
conversation and manners are always those of
a weil-bred American ”
“Then, how should an invitation be extended
to the prince?”
“If he comes here it will be a case of doing in
Rome as Homans do. 1r e proper way of doing
it is to communicate with the prince through
one of his equerries. But you must remember
that the prince is oue of the most sensible and
tactful men alive, and will not xpect any
thing more than ordinary American good man
ners.”
“is it a fact that when the Prince of Wale?
calls on a lady she must receive him alone, and
herhusband may notenter the room?’'
“Not being a lady. I can’t tell,” was the
most humorous reply Mr. Depew could
think of.
“Mr. McAllister says it is probable you would
take charge of the Prince of WaDs during his
jrisit and be a general adviser. Is that so?”
Mr. Depew was not at all hurt by the sugges
tion that he might so far sink his republican
dignity, but replied: “I am altogether too busy
a man to take charge even of the Prince of
ales, Gen. Ellis, Gen Pronyn and other mem
bers of his suite who are very good friends of
mine, would probably look after his traveling
arrangements, his visiting list and so forth.
Lord Rosebery,the| ecretary of state for foreign
affairs, who is ais > a friend of iniue, would
previously make arrangements for the prince’s
journey,”
A Story of W&r Times.
"I was lieutenant-colonel of a Kentucky cav
airy regiment,” continued Col. John C. Under
wood of Kentucky, says a wr.ter in the Boston
Globe. “Our command was in East Tennessee,
and one bright moonlight night I concluded to
ride away from camp and take a look about the
vicinity. I rode several miles, and, coming to
a farm house, hitched my horse and knocked at
the door, a young woman, the most beautiful
I had ever seen, it seemed to me, appeared after
a while and invited me in. She and her aged
mother were the only occupants of the house,
the men of the family being in the confederate
army. We chatted pleasantly for a few min
utes. when my fair hostess arose and said:
‘Colonel, you ran a great risk in leaving your
horse in such an exposed position; the yankee
pickets are ail about us. I will go and put him
in the barn. ’
“She left the room, and after a few minutes
returned, when we resumed our conversation.
Suddenly 6he started up and listened. ‘Colo
nel. you must go now,’ she exclaimed. ‘I hear
the sound of horses hoofs; the federals are com
ing!’ Rushing out of doors she led my horse to
the back of the house, and I following her.
jumped on his back. The most natural thing
for me to have done would have been to sat spurs
to him and get away as soon as possible. But 1
could not. I was young and impressionable, and
the situation was entrancing. The moon shed a
silver light upon the earth, a gentle breeze was
stirring, end the rustle of the leaves in the grand
old trees was like music to my soul. Ana amid
these enchanting surroundings a beautiful face
with tearful eyes looked up into miue, beseech
ing me to hasten I could not resist the temp
tation, and, stooping down from my horse, put
my arm around her, drew her closer to my side
and kissed her.
“As I did so a shower of bullets passed over
my head. One of them went through the rim
Of my hat. I was in full sight of a company ef
federal horsemen No other warning was
necessary. Mv horse realized the danger as
well as I, ana a race for life ensued. The
enemy prezsed hard upon me for a time, and
more than once their bullets grazed my head,
but fortune favored me. and I at length reached
the confederate lines in safety. Do you wonder
that I remember when a kiss saved ray life?”

He swore he did
Not want to live.
If she refuse 1
Her hand to give.
Lite's charms would ail
Be gone for him.
The brightest day
Show dark ana grim.
The flowers fair
No more would bloom,
Earth would be filled
With deepest gloom.
The sun might soine
With dazzling glow,
Or clouded be,
He would not know.
The moon, tne stars
With brilliant light,
Would be tbe same
As b aekeet night.
And tnis be swore
One fata! day ;
Yet that fair maid
To him said nay.
* • * •
Say, did he go
And get a gun
And quit the earth
As some have done?
* * *
Not on your life!
Within three weeks
He met a girl
Whose rosy cheeks,
Sweet pouting lips
And rogish eye
Caused him to vow
For her he'd die.
Alas! again
He stood no show;
This little maid
Refused, also.
*****
No bullet, now.
Or poison rank
Placed him beneath
A sodded bank?
*****
Well, hardly, friend.
Love’s vow of him
Could never make
A cherubim
Since then at least
A score of years
Have come and gone.
And to his ears
Each ons did bring
Full twelve, I'll bet,
Refusals, and
He's living yet.

ITEMS OF INTEHE3T.
Arrangements have been male In London to
transport to Chicago, for use at the world s fair,
seven English coaches and sixty horses, to
gether with professional drivers and guards.
These coaches will carry passengers from the
hotels to the exposition grounds and return, at
prices commensurate with such a fad, widen it
is believed will be exceedingly fashionable with
wealthy people.
The oldest postmaster in the service, accord
ing to Marshal Cushing, in his book, "The Story
of Our Postoffice," is Roswell lieardsley at
North I ansing, this stat", says the New York
Press. Mr. Beardsley was appointed during the
administration of President John Quincy
Adams in mid. He is now 83 years old and has
held office consecutively for sixty-five years.
It is hardly n cessary to add that he is a demo
crat. "During all these years,” says Mr. Cush
ing, "Mr Beardsley Jhas conducted his office to
tne entire satisfaction of the public, and he has
never been reprimanded for failure to perforin
bis duties. He has never been in Washington
The office now pays him $l7O a year. The first
year of his service his pay was sl9 53."
Discussing the best color for a newspaper,
that is, the color of the paper upon which the
printing is done, the London Svectatnr says:
The Westminster Gazette , the new evening lib
eral paper, which seems to us as good as even
ing papers are, invites comments on its color, a
shade of greet), which Carlyle would probably
have considered a compliment to Robespierre’s
complexion. The managers, however, consider
it restfu> to the eyes, and therefore easy to read.
We do not. Green is restful undoubtedly, but
if the managers will look at coal dust on a
meadow they will see that black upon green is
not. Readers want to see the l*tters easily, not
the paper. Pink paier blurs the types much
les. but the oolor which of all others throws
ink into best relief is sa troo yellow. It is abom
inably ugly, but if the editor of the Westmin
ster Gazette will look at any r f the Sanscrit
manuscripts on arsenicated paper in the British
museum he will see that intense yellow throws
up even fine black lines. This is another shade,
a kind of putty color, used by Mr. Quaritch in
his wonderfully cheap Arabic edition of the
Koran, which makes type quite strangely clear.
It may, however, require a special ink.
If lunar conditions are favorable to human
existence, says the St. Louis Republic, and it is
not certain that they are not, and you could be
transported to the top of Pico or some other
tall peak or rock on the surface of our “silvery
sister world," how do you suppose things would
look from such vantage ground? You would
probably first turn your eyes in the direction of
our earth, the world you had just ouittod, but
to you It would be a stranger. In place of
the somber globe you would natural y expect to
behold your eye would be greeted with a most
wonderful sight. The earth would appear to
you to be eixty four times larger than the sun
appears to the residents of this mundane
sphere: this because the earth has eight times
the diameter of the mooD, taerefore she must
necessarily show the moonites forty-four
times as much surface as the moon
shows us. The sun, on the other band,
would appear no larger to you from your ob
servatory on the moon than it does from our
globe The earth's at nosphere being blue It
as been decided that the earth must appear as
a blue ball to all outside onlookers. What a
glorious sight It must be to our lunarian neigh
bors to look upon a bright blue, swift-revolving
ball sixty-four times larger than the sun!
Animals may hear sounds that are tnaulible
to us, says Chambers' Journal. Certainly tha
sounds that give the keenest pleasure to some
animals, cats, for example, are seldom capable
of giving pleasure to us We know, of course,
that sounds may be too low or too high; that is,
the vibrations may be too slow or too rapid, to
be audible to the human ear; but It does not
follow that they are equally Inaudible to differ
ently tuned ears. The limits of audible
sound are not Invariable, even
In the human ear; women can
usually hear higher sounds than men, and the
two ears are not. as a rule, equally keen. A
sound may be quite inaudible to one person and
plainly heard by another. Prof. Lloyd-Morgan
mentions as an instance of this a case In which
the piping of some frogs in Africa was so loud
to him as almost to drown his friend's voice,
but of which his friend absolutely heard noth
ing! The same thing may be observed by any
one possessing the little instrument known as
Ualton's whittle. Tue sound made by this whistl v
can be made more and more shrill, until It
at laat ceases to be heard at all by most per
sons. Borne oan still hear it; but by raising the
sound still higher even they cease to hear. The
sound is still being made, that Is, the whistle is
causing the air still to vibrate, but so rapidly
that our ears no longer reoognize it, though the
existence of these Inaudible vibrations is de
tected by a "sensitive flame,” as was first shown
by Prof. Barrett in 1877.
"The little town of Camden. Me., ought to
have its name changed to Hope,” said a dealer
in ship supplies and stores to a New York Nun
writer, “for It turns out more of the emblems
of hope than all the other places In this coun
try combined. All of the stately ships that
come out of the Maine shipyards look ,lo that
little village on the Penobs.-ot for their
anchors Scores of sturdy smiths swing their
hammers day after day all the year ong in the
black, smoky, long, low Camden shops, where
only anchors are forged. Sometimes the inp- >
hammers are going all night about the forges,
and the blazing of the fires and rhe
ring of the hammers are seen and heard
for miles away. Thousands of tons of old
iron are purchased by these queer estab
lishments every year, for anchors are
forged largely from cast-off iron. The mate
rial is out into small pieces by great shears
that clip through the Iron as easily as a cheese
knife slices a cheese. The pieces are bound
into bundles by lrong wires, and are then
fused into the forges Then they are pounded
and welded into the various parts of the anchor,
some workmen fashioning the rings, others
shaping the flukes, others hammering out the
palms and others forging the shanks. Then the
•completers' take the different parts and fuse
and weld them into the finished anchor. Anch
ors of all sizes and weights are turned out from
the noisy shops of Camden, the graceful little
pleasure boat anchor, weighing but a few
pounds, as well as the great 60.000 and 75,000-
pound anchors of the biggest ships. There are
mauy interesting relics at Camden in the line of
rusty and broken anchors that did duty in their
day on famous merchant vessels, historic war
shirs am sturdy whalers What is left of tne
anchor of the United States frigate Cumber
land is among these relics."
