Tho Morning News will begin the
publication of a serial story next Sunday
entitled "That House in Bloomsbury,”
by Mrs. Oliphant. The story is a domes
tic one, and will be read with delight in
the homo circle. Around a quaint old
house in Bloomsbury and chiefly in con
nection with its modern inhabitants, Mrs.
Oliphant has built up a cheerful and at
tractive literary creation, full of life, pic
turesqueness and character.
The suggestion of mystery is well-main
tained throughout, and the love interest,
which, in Mrs. Oliphant’s stories, is never
lacking, is, in this instance, more than
ordinarily attractive, the romance of the
story springing into being amidst most
unlikely surroundings.
Margaret O. W. Oliphant has won an
enviable reputation in the world of let
ters as a judicious biographer, a charm
ing novelist, and a general writer of
strong individuality. It is not easy to
say wherein consists the unmistakable
touch of genius in her work, but it is un
doubtedly there.
She always seems to strike the right
vein, and to use the right words. Her
composition is at all times vigorous, and
never obscure.
“'i'llat House in Bloomsbury” will also
appear in the Weekly News.
Notwithstanding the fact that there is
no quarrel among the nations of Europe,
there is a feeling that trouble of some
sort is impending. The times all over the
world seem to be out of joint.
The reports that the Tammany Society
of New York is about to be split into a
dozen or more factions by internal dissen
sions, do not appear to alarm members of
that organization. There may be squab
bling over the patronage, but patronage
will hold the organization together.
Even Mr. Gladstone will find it difficult
to make the abolition of the Houso of
words a burning issue. It will take a
half a century’s talk to get the English
people to the point of deciding that they
desire to be rid of an institution that has
been a burden to them for so many gen
erations.
Oscar Wilde has made a suggestion rel
rtive to meats in the markets that butch
es will make haste probably to take ad
vantage of. He says meats should not be
exjiosed to public view and to flics, but
should be shown to customers by means
of photographs. Unfortunately the pho-’
tographs would not indicate whether the
meats had been kept too long. Meats at
tractive to the eye might not be accept
able to the taste and smell.
Oklahoma is already clamoring for ad
mission into the union as a state. It is
claimed that the population, since the
opening of the Cherokee strip, has grown
so rapidly that it now numbers over 275,-
000 and lias taxable wealth amounting to
$.0,000.000. Half eif those who went to
the Cherokee strip to find homes were
disappointed, and therefore the number
of actual settlers is not quite so largo as
it is claimed to be l . It will be some time
yet before Oklahoma gets into the union.
President Cleveland did not dine with
the National league of the Travelers'
club at tlie Fifth avenue hotel. New
York, on Saturday, although he had been
invited to do so. He sent the club a let
ter, however, in which he said that
“there is every reason why every American
should appreciate the work of the com
mercial traveler.” Further along in his
letter he said that during his residence Jr
Buffalo his roommate was a commercial
traveler. Mr. Cleveland may have ob
tained las sound financial ideas from his
roommate, as commercial travelers favor
•ouud money.
Compromise Talk
There is more talk now of a compromise
I iii ivitim U"ti wiLi* Cut- wii Ui rt*i**** *•*•
Shrmnan MlTrr law Ui in 1 hrrr 1* of Hu
<-oi;ililiottal ro|M>ai. No onv seoms to k?w>\v
i niictly who tire wnatur* art* who are
paUhing up a rmnpromK* mva.iire nor
1 what their motives are It is re|mrUui.
j for Instant'C, that Senator Gorman is the
i lomliT in the compromise business. It is
aH<'fc-e*l that he is anxious to train wiwtf
i ever erodil there m*y bv for settling. for
! the time being at least, the silver ques
■ lion, and he hopes to get a eomproniiso
I that will command the support of all tile
democrats, so that the measure will ap
| pear to be a democratic one.
Another report is that republican sena
tors are favoring a compromise that will
include an issue of bonds to buy gold, and
thus maintain the gold reserve. A fur
ther issue of bonds in their oninion would
help to strengthen the national banking
system and make it more difficult to re- ,
establish state banks of issue.
How much there is in this compromise j
talk it is impossible to say with any de
gree of certainty. It looks, however, as |
if it would be difficult to fix up any com- j
promise that would be acceptable to the |
House, or to the administration. The i
House is known to be opposed to an in
crease in tho national debt, and a com
promise that provides for the issue of
bonds to buy gold would hardly meet
with favor in that branch of congress.
It is intimated also that the President
would not sign a bill that called for an
issue of bonds. Neither he nor the Secre
tary of the Treasury thinks it would be
to the advantage of the country or tho
Democrat! c party to increase the national
debt.
Those who are talking of compromise
therefore do not seem to have taken into
account all the difficulties in the way of
any compromise measure that the Senate
is likely to agree upon.
The more it is thought about the clearer
it becomes that the only safe course to
pursue is the one marked out by the
President in his message to congress.
Unconditional repeal of the Sherman sil
ver law is what the country wants, and
what would give the relief that is so ur
gently demanded. If that law was out
of the way it could be seen what could be
done safely for silver. Something would
be done. There is no doubt about that.
The silver men would not got what they
demand, but they would get something
that would be better for them than the
Sherman silver law because that law
does not keep silver at a price that per
mits silver to be mined at a profit. There
is a much better prospect that nothing
will be done in respect to silver than that
a compromise measure will become a law.
Whose Duty Is It P
Complaint has been made several times
that a pond near where the Belt line
crosses the White Bluff road remains un
drained. The pond is quite a large one,
and the boys of the neighborhood have
been playing in it ever since the recent
heavy rains.
People living in the vicinity of tho pond
are afraid that it will cause sickness.
They have called the attention of the au
thorities to it, but for some reason or
other nothing has been done towards
draining it.
There are reports to the effect Uiat
there is a difference of opinion as to
whoso duty- it is to drain it. The rail
road authorities say it is not their duty.
The city authorities say the pond is not
in the city limits. What the county au
thorities say has not been learned.
The question is this: Is the pond a
source of danger to the health of the peo
ple living in the vicinity of it? Jf so,
then it ought to be drained without fur
ther delay. Indeed, the work of drain
ing ought to have been done many days
ago. A physician called at the office of
the Mou Nino News yesterday and de
clared quite emphatically that, in nis
opinion, it is a danger spot.
There ought to he no wrangling as to
whose duty it is to drain the pond. That
question is a comparatively unimportant
one in comparison with the preservation
of the public health. If it is outside of
tho city limits • the county authorities
ought to have the place drained at once,
and then the cost of the work can bo
collected from whoever is liable for it. But
the thing to do now is to drain the pond.
Nothing that is done in the south satis
fies some of the republican papers. For
instance, the Mail and Express of New
York, with reference to the hanging of
five black murderers at Mt. Vernon, Ga.,
last Friday has tho following: “Five
negroes were hanged at Mt. Vernon, Ga..
yesterday for murder. The execution
was not a lynching, but was done in pur
suance of law. The entire population of
two counties suspended business and
made a holiday. Five thousand people
witnessed the hanging. There is some
thing wrong with a community that finds
enjoyment in such scenes.” The southern
people are condemned by the extreme
republican papers whenever a lynching
occurs in a southern state, and now they
are condemned because a few thousand
whites and blacks attended the hanging
of five murderers. Would not the public
hanging of five murderers have drawn a
crowd in any northern state? It would,
undoubtedly. The injustice of the at
tacks of republican papers upon the south
indicate that the attacks proceed from a
feeling of hostility.
In this country the magnitude of the
coal famine in England is not fully ap
preciated. It is said to have assumed the
proportions of a calamity. Tho coal
miners, who are out on a strike, are suf
fering terribly. A cablegram to the Sun
says thousands are starving in the Mid
lands. The commercial effects are al
ready very severe. Many trains have
stopped running on the railroads, and the
receipts for the past two months have de
clined £1,000,000 sterling. The retail
price of coal is now about flO a ton, and
yet the miners’ federation has again
voted not to yield. The decision to allow
the men to return at the old rate of
wages, whereever possible, will open
some mines, hut will also contribute to
the ultimate defeat of the strikers. If
the strike continues much longer it will
soon be possible to export coal from this
country to England at a profit.
The President does not seem to be both
ering himself at present about Hawaii.
Doubtless he thinks it will hetimeenough
to take up the Hawaiian matter after the
silver question is settled. In the mean
time the annexationists in Honolulu are
reported to bo quite active.
THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, OCTOBERS. ISSI3.
The Jeeup Fever Caen.
It is tho opinion of Health Officer Brun-
In i Ittml iV|iul,> ffGn-riu War ren, win*
died of yellovr fever at .lesup last Satur
day, contracted the diawiae at Girdi. at
which place there is, it is said, a large
number of Brunswick refugee*. If this
opinion is tho correct one steps should bo
taken at once to have the and
clothing of the refugee* at that and other
places in tin- southern part of the state
thoroughly disinfected.
It is impossible, of course, to say
whether this opinion is a correct one or
not, but it seems to be a very reasonable
one The only thing that appears to
throw doubt upon its correctness is that
none of the residents of (iardi. so far as
known, nor any of the refugees at that
place has been attacked by the disease.
Still, it does not follow that the perms of
the fever are not there. Mr. Warren's
system may have been in a condition to
make him an easy victim of the fever.
There are a pood many cases of yellow
fever at Brunswick, but nearly all of them,
judging from the death rate, are of a uiiid
type, and most of them are among people
who, from all accounts, are not in a posi-
j tion to have the best sanitary surround
ings. The colored people especially are
attacked, and it is a notorious fact that it
is a difficult matter to get them to pay
attention to the laws of health.
That the fever will linger in Brunswick
j until frost the physicians do not seem to
have any doubt, but there is a hopeful
feeling among them that the death rate
will be very small. If this feeling gener
ally prevails among tho Brunswick people
it will have an extremely beneficial effect
in enabling those attacked to recover
from the disease.
In the meantime, however, the situation,
as far as business is concerned, is just as
bad in Brunswick as if there were a dozen
deaths a day. The poor have no way of
'earning a living and are almost wholly
dependent for food upon the charitably
disposed people of this and other states.
There is no danger that more will be given
than is needed, because assistance will be
required for at least six weeks, and it
ay be two months.
They Forget Wanamaker.
• The republican journals take a very
lively interest in tho Van Alen matter. It
seems to afford them a great deal of pleas
ure to assert that it is scandalous that a
man who gave $50,000 to the national
democratic campaign fund should be ap
pointed ambassador to Italy. They assume,
of course, that Mr. Van Alen would not
have been nominated for that place or any
other if he had not contributed so liber
ally to the democratic campaign fund in
the last national election.
But these republican journals forget
that Mr Wanamaker was made Postmas
ter General in Gen. Harrison's adminis
tration as a reward for tho large
contribution he and his friends made
to the national republican cam
paign fund that helped to elect Gen.
Harrison. Mr. Wanamaker had not
figured in politics and had no good reason
to expect a cabinet position. There is
just as much reason for saying that he
bought the nomination he received as
there is for saying that Mr. Van Alen
bought the office to which ho has been
nominated.
Democrats have criticised Mr. Van
Alen's nomination, and they have a right
to do so if they feel so disposed, because
Mr. Van Alen is a member of their party;
but if republicans criticise it they should
not do so with the view of making the im
pression that their party is wholly free
from scandals of that kind. The differ
ence between democrats and republicans
is that the democrats protest against acts
which threaten to bring discredit upon
their party, while the republicans sock to
hide such acts.
Asa matter of fact, there is no evidence
that Mr. Van Alen gave his money to as
sist the democratic cause with the hope
of reward. On the contrary, there are
reasons for saying that what he pave lie
gave freely and with the sole purpose of
assisting his party to win a victory. The
main opposition to his nomination grows
out of the statements that have been
made that he has a higher opinion of
English institutions than those of his
own country, but those statements may
do him an injustice. But whether they
do or not, the republicans are not in a po
sition to charge that his nomination is a
scandalous one.
Some rtf the Chicago papers aro discuss
ing the questions of the prices that are
likely to be obtained for the vast number
of articles in the fair that will be offered
for sale immediately after the eloseof the
fair. The collection of merchandise is
the largest and most varied the world has
overseen, The articles come from every
civilized country and some semi-bar
barous countries. The value of the col
lections has been estimated from fKI.OtK),-
OIHI to $50,000,000 and even much higher.
There is little doubt that $50,000,000
would be a conservative estimate of their
value. There is a movement to get the
fair directors to permit articles to be sold
in the fair buildings for a month or so af
ter the fair closes. Strong influences are
at work to divert the great collection of
merchandise to other cities, or perhaps
getitout of the country entirely, but
when the issue is made in the board of
directors, it is believed the exhibitors will
win, ami that for at least a month after
the fair has closed, Jackson Park will bo
the shopping center of the world. If such
should bo the case, many women who |
have had little desire to visit the fair,
would have a strong desire to go to Chi
cago after it closed with the hope’ of get
ting bargains.
The story that has been telegraphed
from Washington that the President has
asked Mr. Van Alen to withdraw his ap
plication for the diplomatic position to
which he has beeii nominated has no
foundation. Nothing is now known that
is detrimental to Mr. Van Alen that was
not known before he was nominated. Mr.
Van Aicn will take his chances in the
Senate, ami the probabilities are that his
nomination will be confirmed, aud he will
be this country's ambassador to Italy.
A curious feature of the EUison-Hen
riques case that has been a sensation in
New York for several days cropped out in
that uity on Saturday. The assistant dis
trict attorney, on entering a saloon i-’ri

the case drinking with the lawyers for
tho defense. It is not alleged that the

rors, hut it is claimed that t lie defendant's
attorneys arc not gifted with a nice sc use
of professional honor.

The Pest Ship.
From the Philadelphia Kecord (Dem ),
Th • horrors of the Meccan pilgrimages, by
reason of deaths from cholera, are more than
equaled by the experience of a mail steamer
w hich sailed from Genoa to Santos. Brazil,
carrying passengers. Cholera broke out on
tho vessel before it reached t< destination,
and the Brazilian authorities refused to allow
the passengers or cargo to be landed. The
steamer t-hon recrossed the ocean, a floating
pest ship. During ihe voyage, going aud
returning, lit persons died. The vessel is
now quarantined off the cost, of Sardinia, it
is hard to conceive of a situation more de

of the world, so terrible is the brutality of

What Railway Disasters May Re
sult In.
From the New York Herald (Ind.).
Itailroaa wrecks continue to happen so fre

fatalities that the public may soon become
sufficiently alarmed to cause a serious de
crease in the incomes of railway i orporations.
When in a great theater lire there is a con
siderable loss of life a sharp falling off is at
once noticed In the audiences of all theaters.
If. as is probable, a popular fear of railroad
travel should spring up owing to the rejieti
tion of railway and -asters, the managers of all
roads will learn that it actually pays to pre
serve ihe lives of their passengers. Let some
one of the great trunk lines make a specialty
of safety, so that it can point to a history
without accident, and that road will soon get
such an increase of business as will trebly
repay it for its extra expenditures to make
travel safj.

It was the Duke Henry of Brunswick who
was first observed In the intervals of a ban
quet to scan carefully a long strip of paper by
the side of his plate, and when the curious
guests ventured to inquire into the nature of
his studies he explained tnat it was a sort of
programme of the dishes which he had com
manded from the cook, to the intent that if
some delicacy which especially appealed to
him were marked for a last stage in the re
past he might carefully reserve his appetite
for it. The simplicity and beauty of this idea
appealed instantly to the good duke s con
vives, and the menu card became an institu

What animal can make the most noise?
The elephant. During the breeding season
in the forests of India and Ceylon the trum
peting and roaring of the animal is continu
ous and terrific and can be heard for miles.
The feline family are wont to scare their prey
thoroughly by their overpowering noise.
Thus the roar of the adult lion is terrific, the
windpipe being enlarged so as to give the
animal a larger volume of air proportionately
than any other animal. The male gorilla
has an awful, loud-sounding voice. When at
tacked it utters a short, jerking, acute bark,
like that of an angry dog. To this succeeds a
’ow growling, which might be mistaken for
distant thunder.
The goat has long been regarded as the
most omnivorous animal that roams, but
modern investigation may rob that sportive
animal of its laurels and transfer them to the
broad brow of the humble cow. The men at

have learned to regard tho cow’s stomach as
a veritable prize bag. It is no uncommon oc
currence to find the most curious things in
them, and sometimes there Is a vast collection
of bric-a-brac in its mysterious folds. An
animal recently killed at the West Philadel
phia abbatoir had a masonic mark, a door
hinge and part of a rat trap in its stomach,
while another hid a small medicine bottle
and part of a croquet ball.

will be followed, after Jan. 1 next, by the great
est era of prosperity and growth the place has
ever known. Visitors to the world's fair
have. Mr. Childs says, learned to appreciate
the fact that Chicago is certain to be the
groat central city of the United States, and
that it will be to their advantage to have
some business interest there. Their eyes
have been opened and prejudices dispelled.
They now know Chicago and the opportuni
ties offered in that part of the country.
By far the greatest freak on the Midway at
the fair, more blatant than the Cairo donkey
boys, more übiquitous than Buffalo Bill, and
exceeding in picturesque garb Rosa the -Con
stantinople muscle dancer, is George Fran
cis Train. He dresses in white duck with a
red fez cap and red sash around his waist.and
as he passes waves his hands in a ta ta style
at the groups of pretty women who turn their
heads to view this strange personaltiy, often
without knowing who he is. His favorite
haunt is Old Vienna, where he is welcomed
as one of the curiosities, and there he may be
seen these chilly evenings with an Indian
blanket thrown about him listening to the
superb music of the Royal Austrian Band and
sipping the coffee in long, narrow glasses,
which only the Viennese know how to make,
trying his best to keep warm in the nipping
Chicago autumn air.
Among the rare eggs of birds still living
that of the blue red-winged grosbeak is prob
ably the most valuable, a well-marked set
being worth anywhere hetween $1,500 and
$2,000. At a recent auction sale of zoolgotcal
rarities in London a line set of golden eagle’s
eggs, two in number, were “knocked down '
at $75. and ID were exchanged evenly for one
egg of the swallow-tailed kite. The egg of
the Pallas sand grouse is usually quoted by
dealers in natural history specimens at about
58 but there are exceptions to this as to all
other rules. It is an Asiatic species and was
never known to nest farther west than India
until the year 1830, when a set
was taken in England. The Iden
tity of both bird and eggs was cer
tain, and the egg collectors went wild forth
with The first offered ten times the market
value of such eggs, but competition was so
lively that they .there were two of them'

The business of “capturing” prominent men
is one of the amusing sides of life in Wash
ington. First Senator Gorman captured Sen
ator Brice and the two together captured
Senator Hill and played him as a pawn on tho
presidential chess board; the three. Gorman,
Brice and Bill, captured the House of Repre
sentatives and created Speaker Crisp and
when the job was done Brice and Hill found
Gorman in possession as sole proprietor.
This was in the last congress, hut of late
another man has gone into the capturing bus
iness with a good deal of success. President
Cleveland set his net for Crisp, and with Car
lisle us c hief fisherman, landed his man.
That state of things continued during the or
ganization of the house, the appointment of
committees and passage of the repeal bill at
the popular end of the capitol. For a time
something very like a coldness prevailed be
tween Crisp and Gorman, and Secretary Car
lisle seemed to have supplanted the man from
Maryland in the speaker's affections. Now
the scene shifts again. They are whispering
in the cloak rooms that the status quo has
been resumed and that Gorman has recap
tured Crisp. . ■
Senator Hill appears to be going It almost
alone in the Senate. He has few warm friends
and apparently does not care to have any
more. He is not on good terms with the ad
ministration, as everyone knows; he does
not possess the confidence of Speaker Crisp
whom he helped to elect; he has no intimate
relations with Senator Voorhees. the repeal
leader in the Senate, and since he discovered
the manner in which Mr. Gorman and Mr
Brice induced him to destroy himself in aG
tempting to destroy Cleveland a year ago
that the aforesaid Gorman might bag the
presidential persimmon Sgnator Hill and the
Senator from Maryland no longer exchange
confidences. Mr. Bill, therefore, is running
as a sort of wild train. As to the possibility
of securing action in the Senate- through the
courage and determination of the occupant of
the chair. Mr. Hill says that it can be done
and that he would be glad to do it if an op
portunity were offered him. notwitstanding
the fact that the only thanks he would get for
it at the white house would be a continuation
of ihe snubs and indignities, which, according
to his version, have been heaped upon him
since last March. v ra
