The populists appear to hare got a pretty
strong foothold in Fulton county. It would
he strange if they hadn’t in view of the
fact that they hare had so much populist
literature served out to them.
The death rate among little children in
New York city has fallen off immensely
since Mr. Nathan Straus inaugurated his
sterilized milk charity. That charity has
done a vast amount of good. It is a pity
there isn’t a similar charity in every city
in the country. Who can say that the
large mortality among infants in cities is
not largely due to impure milk?
A picture of Capt. D. G. Purse, that does
not do him justice, adorns the first page of
Thursday’s issue of the Philadelphia Led
ger. Capt. Purse is a much better looking
man than this picture represents him to be.
The picture is presented in connection with
an account of the opening of the Congress
of American Farmers at Parkersburg, Va.
Savannah is furnishing quite a number of
subjects for newspaper pictures these days.
Some of the populists, it seems, are al
ready talking about the part they will play
in the election of a senator from this state.
The probabilities are they aro talking too
soon. It will be surprising if they are per
mitted to play any part at all. A demo
cratic caucus will settle that matter with
out any assistance from them. If the popu
lists should have a hand in making a
choice, they would insist upon a senator so
close to the populists that his democracy
couldn’t be recognized.
The prospect that there will be an inde
pendent democratic ticket in New York be
comes less promising day by day. The
more such a ticket is discussed the greater
tha folly of it appears to be. And, after all,
it is probable that the leaders of the inde
pendent movement are only figuring for
concessions in the matter of the local
tickets in New York city and Brooklyn.
The public is permitted to see only the sur
face of things. Of the under currents of
politics it knows nothing.
First reports of accidents and disasters
are generally exaggerated. That is the
case in respect to the report of the damage
done to the orange crop by the cyclone of
fast week that swept over Florida. The
first accounts of the storm left the impres
sion that at least half the oranges had been
blown from the trees. It turns out that
the loss of oranges will not amount to more
than 5 per cent., and there are still about
5,000,000 boxes for which the orange grow
ers are anxious to get good prices.
It ia being told for the benefit of Mr.
Morton, the republican candidate for gov
ernor of New York, that he is the only liv
ing man of whom it may be said that his
“no” meant the loss of the presidency of
the United States. It seems that he was
offered the nomination for Vice President
on the ticket with Garfield, and declined it
on the advice of Senator Conkling. The
place was afterward given to Mr. Arthur,
who became President. But Mr. Mort on
could not have foreseen that Garfield would
be elected and die before the expiration of
his term. He declined the place of Vico
President probably for reasons, which at
the time seemed to be good ones.
Judge J. N. Scott, the brother-in-law of
ex-Presldent Harrison, is at the front with
a message from tho ex-President to the
country. Gen. Harrison says, according to
his brother-in-law, that ho would
not decline the honor of a presi
dential nomination if it were ten
dered to him unanimously by the repub
licans, without any effort on his part.
The general is not anxious for another four
years' seige of office-seekers, who, during
his first term, made life a burden to him.
It would not have been so bad if the people
had re-elected him 1 to the presidency, as
during his first term he bad the office
seekers nearly all fixed, but to send him
back now would be merely to inaugurate a
repetition of the old worry and trouble
with the patriots seeking place. It would
be too cruel to turn the office-acokors loose
on the General again, and the mass of
voters will probably see to it that he is not
annoyed.
The Contest.
The thirty or imp y or more populists who
have been elected to .the legislature inter
feres greatly with the calculations of at
least two of the senatorial candidates,
j These two are Senator Walsh and Maj.
! Bacon. The majority of the populists are
from the northern and middle parts of the
state- the parts whicn are expected to
support Senator Walsh and Maj. Bacon.
If there were only a few populists in the
legislature there would be no caucus,
probably, to decide upon a senatoial can
didate, but the large number of populist
members makes a caucus a necessity.
In a caucus it looks very much as
if Mr. Turner would have the
advantage. He will have pretty
nearly the solid support of South
Georgia. It would not be surpris
ing if he should have at least 70 votes
on the first ballot. Is not that a larger
number than any other candidate is likely
to receive?
The fact, also, that he stands squarely
for sound mouey, and, in consequence, has
kept the democratic lines in his part of the
state practically unbroken, is likely to
help him greatly.
When the democrats of the leg
islature have taken the second, sooer
thought they will come to the conclusion i
that apathy among democratic voters in
the recent election was largely due to the
confusion caused by the utterances of some
of the democratic leaders on the silver
question, and that the thing to do to re
store the vigor and strength of the party is
to come out squarely in favor of sound
money. If that course should be adopted,
and it is the wise course, Mr. Turner would
bo chosen senator without trouble.
His wisdom and strength as a leader have
been so clearly demonstrated that they
cannot be questioned. On every important
question the people know where he stands.
He has not sought to evade the silver ques
tion, nor has he resorted to demagogic ar
guments when discussing it. He has kept
on the party platform, and discussed the
silver issue with a frankness and vigor that
carried conviction to those who listened to
him. His prospects for the Senate are
certainly improving.
Eliminating the Black Voter.
The plan which it has been proposad to
adopt in the Third congressional district of
Louisiana for the selection of a candidate
for congress will hardly meet with the ap
proval of the National Republican party
nor the Republican party of Louisiana. It
is that a congressman for the district shall
be chosen by the white voters at a primary.
At this primary democrats, populists and
republicans will be permitted to vote. The
purpose is to eliminate the blacks from
politics.
The bolting sugar planters have said all
along that they did not want to bring the
blacks into politics. They understand the
trouble the blacks cause. If the blacks
give their votes they must be given a share
of the offices, and their share of the offices
must be in proportion to the number of
votes they cast.
In Louisiana blacks in office means politi
cal corruption. That is what it meant
when the republicans controlled the state,
and that is what it would mean if the
blacks were brought into office by demo
cratic influences.
The sugar planters have gone over to the
Republican party, but they do not like
their political bedfellows in the state. The
proposed plan to get rid of them will not
induce tho National Republican party to
regard with much favor tho bolt of tho su
gar planters. It is difHcult to see how the
sugar planters can act in harmony with
the Republican party if they will not be
come a part of that party in their own
state.
Tho Republican party of Louisiana is
composed almost wholly of blacks, and
there are among them some surpassingly
shrewd politicians. They would make the
situation exceedingly unpleasant for tho
bolting nlanters if they found themselves
shut out from political affiliation with
them. They would make their own nomi
nations, in all probability, and the sugar
planters would either have to support their
nominees or act independently, and inde
pendent action would amount to nothing.
The bolting sugar planters are beginning
to find out that they acted hastily, although,
as a rule, they are not yet willing to admit
they did. The custom house employes and
all other federal officials in Louisiana have
been virtually told that if thoy sympathize
with the bolting planters they will havo to
resign, so that their places may be filled
with democrats.
And the bolting planters are being told
that they can gain nothing by going over to
the Republican party and that they are
certain to lose a great deal.
It would not bo surprising if the bolters
should abandon their movement and return
to the Democratic party. There are less
than 000 of them, and they cannot control
any considerable number of votes outside
of their own. They acted as if they owned
the state, and thought the entire white
and black population would follow their
lead. Theymust have been greatly surprised
when they found they took nobody but
themselves to the Republican party, and
that they would not be permitted to dictate
to that party. The sooner they get back
into the democratic fold tho better it will
be for thorn.
The committee appointed to notify
Senator Hill of his nomination docs not
seem to be in a hurry to discharge its duty.
It is understood that Senator Hill is doing
his utmost to harmonize the party and pre
vent t lio nomination of an independent
democratic ticket. In this connection the
story is given out that last winter when
Senator Hill, in a speech in the Senate, in
cidentally praised Mr. Cleveland's courso
in respect to the tariff, Mr. Cleveland de
clared at a cabinet meeting that ho felt ho
could hug Senator Hill. Stories of this
sort have a conciliating effect, and may
bring the hostile factions in New York
together. *
It is to be hoped that Fitzsimmons is not
so pleased at having the opportunity to
meet Corbett that he will forget to train
for the contest. His recent contest in New
Orleans was child's play in comparison
with that which he has arranged with
Corbett. The chances are that he will be
more surprised than pleased by the time
he has had a half a dozen rounds with Cor
bett, provided the contest lasts that long.
THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 0, 1894.
Revival of Business.
Our dispatches yesterday morning from
Baltimore stated that reports from all
ports of the south show a general improve
ment in business, and indicate a still
greater improvement in the near future.
The New York Tribune, a day or two ago,
published interviews with quite a large
number of the leading business men of that
city which furnished convincing proof that
there is a very marked revival in business.
The Tribune had been asserting in its edi
torial columns that the contrary was the
fact, and its action in publishing the inter
views was. therefore, all the more notable.
The conservative Philadelphia Eedger
says: "The improvement of business con
ditions can be no longer successfully dis
puted :itis so general and so manifest as
to render ridiculous those unscrupulous
partisan organs which, closing their eyes
to the truth, continue to ignore it as if it
had no real existence. The leading finan
cial and trade journals of the country,
those the special mission of which it is to
present for the information of their read
ers the most accurate statements with re
gard to the state of finance, manufactures
and commerce, give the most gratifying re
ports of reviving activity.”
******
“The community of business now has
that assurance of stable business which
will enable it to put forth its strength of
enterprise. It is already puttinp it forth
and is confuting day by day, by its activ
ity, the false cries and alarms of the parti
san prophets of evil.”
Those who expected that the business
revival woul4 come all at once are, of
course, disappointed, but the level-headed
business men, who know that prosperity
must come gradually, are not. There will
be strikes and failures, as there always
arc, even in the most prosperous times, and
these the croakers and prophets of evil will
continue to seize upon and parade as evi
dences that the business depression is as
groat as it has been at any time during the
last year and a half, but their views will '
not prevail against the steadily increasing
evidences that the times are becoming bet
ter.
The south is recovering faster, even
though the price of cotton is below 6 cents,
than the west, and the southern people are
showing their confidence in the future by
projecting all sorts of improvements for
the development and up building of their
section. General prosperity will kill popu
lism and eliminate the silver question from
politics.
A Loose Way of Legislating.
The report of the committee appointed to
look into the charges that were made
against Mr. Boifeuillet, in connection with
the bill providing anew charter for the
city of Macon, has not, we think, been
given tho attention it should have. The
committee exonerated Mf. Boifeuillet from
any intention of wrong doing, but it made
some statements that should be noticed by
the newly elected legislature.
The enrolled bill contains a number of
alterations, some of them important.
These alterations are not in the hand writ
ing of the enrolling clerk, nor in that of
Mr. Boifeuillet. Authority for all of these
interlineations could not bo found in the
House journal. There is no authority to
show, therefore, that these important
changes were ever authorized by the legis
lature.
An explanation was offered by the clerk
of the House to the effect that the bill was
enrolled before it was finally disposed
of, the purpose being to put the changes on
clean sheets, and substitute them for tho
sheets on which tho interlineations were
made.
No wrong may have been done in the
case of the Macon charter bill, but it is
evident that with such loose methods pre
vailing, it would have been an easy matter
to have greatly changed tho charter after
it had been acted upon by both houses if
there had been a disposition to do so. The
changes that were made were doubtless
authorized, but how could it be proven that
they were. The House journal is silent in
respect to some of them, showing that if
they wore authorized tho journal clerk
failed to notice the fact.
The report of the committee should cause
greater care to be exercised in respect to
bills that become laws. Vast interests are
dependent upon some of tho bills, and if
proper tare is not exercised in respect to
them, it is possible to make changes in
them that would work great wrong.
It is not improbable that more will be
heard of the Macon charter bill. The ques
tion of whether or not the city has a legal
charter may be raised in the courts. Con
ditions may arise that will make it to the
interest of some ono to raiso that question.
Mr. Tom Watson must be getting a good
deal of satisfaction out of claiming the
state for Judge Hines, otherwise
ho would not continue to do so
in the face of returns that afford
no foundation for such a claim. Perhaps
no is only paving the way for charges of
fraud. The report from Effingham county
would seem to indieato that the frauds, if
any, were committed by the populists. In
a number of counties they had everything
pretty much their own way and if Effingham
is a sample of the way in which they con
ducted tho election thoy made the most of
their opportunity.
It is said that Embezzler Howgate, who
was arrested in New York the other day,
is the owner of a great deal of valuable
land in Florida, for which an attorney of
Beatrice, Nob., is trustee. It is rather ro
inarkable that Howgate was not arrested
sooner. If the government had boen
anxious to find him it is strange it did not
succeed in doing so. At no time was he
out of the country, and for years ho was
the proprietor of a soaond hand book store
in Now York. That ho was not arrested
sooner has given rise to a story to the effect
that there are men of influence who pro
tected him.
The south will not buy much western
corn this year, if any. She has a surplus,
which she ought to turn into meat, so that
there would be no need to send the money
received for cotton to the west for bacon,
it is announced that within the last week
or two Alabama has shipped a vast amount
of corn to Illinois at 45 cents a busk cl.
When the south can sell corn she is not
badly off, even if cotton is below 0 cents a
pound. r .) .

paign is now showing strong symptoms of
grogginess.
No Danger of a European War.
From the New- York Times (Ind.)
It Is very unlikely Indeed that the coin
cidence of meeting or the French and English
cabinets threatens tho peace of Europe, as it
seems to have been construed to do. both in
London and Paris Neither the question of
Madaiascar nor the eastern war raises any
thing like so difficult and irritating a question
as was raised last year by the behavior of the 1
hrench in Siam. Yet the crisis passed without
doing any harm.
Unreconciled McKinley.
From the Philadelphia Record (Dcm ).
Gov. McKinley remains unreconciled to the
new tariff act.. He has told the people of Kan
sas City in a triumphant wav that "the democ
racy of New York disowned it formally and
officially when they nominated for governor of
the state David B. lull, the only democratic
member of the Senate who voted against it.”
Gov McKinley is disingenuous. Mr. Hill dis
owned the tariff 1:11! only to the extent that It
hie. been McKlnleyized, and he condoned that
slip very handsomely In tho Now York state
convention.
Reasons for the Small Democratic Ma
jority.
From the Atlanta Journal (Dem.l.
But more potent than either of the reasons

cratic newspapers and politicians In Georgia
who have joined in the populist erv that the
business depression throughout which we have
passed, and the low price of cotton which is
still on us. are attributable to the financial
policy of President Cleveland's admin
istration. They have proclaimed this
assertion time and time again, and. though
It has never beon backed by anything
but gall, it has undoubtedly deceived man.,
voters These democrats would have done
the party lar less damage if they hsd gone
over bodily to the populist* Instead of remain
Ing In the demouratic ranks and tiring upon a
democratic administration. Such democratic
testimony was the favorite weapon of the
populist, and undoubtedly It had Us effe t.
A c have frequently denounced this guerilla
warfare, and we do so again It has worked
enough mischief and' henceforth should re
ceive the reprobation of every true democrat.
Felt Ever So Much Better.
Three or four jeari ago. says an exchange, a
silvery toogued fellow, who gave out that he
was a fruit tree agent ” swindled the fanners
in an English county, famous for orchards and
cider, in a barefaced manner.
One man was so disgusted at having been
taken in that he hunted the si amp out and gave
him a horsewhipping in the street.
After he had got through his work satisfac
torily he told the ‘ fraud” That he would leather
him twice as badly if he ever let eyes upon him
again.
A year sgo the same farmer was jogging along
a lane, when he met a stranger who so closely
resembled the “fruit tree agent’ that he
s’opoed and said:
“What! You here acrain. you scoundrel!”
”Yes. I'm here, you see. was the cool reply.
“Well, so am I: lam going to baste you till
your mother wouldn t know you. and you hain t
got breath enough t> cry don’t” I told you I'd
do it. and I m just a plain man of my v'ord ”
The threatened man pulled off his coat with
out a word of protest, and a tight began. In
side of tlve minutes he had used un the farmer,
wiped the road with him, and was busily re
placing his coat.
How's this:'” the Herefordshire man said
ruefully, as he wiped the blood from his face
with a wiid rhubarb leaf, "you fight a whole
horse better than you did two years ago.”
"ho I r * Don't know. This our first little
affair together.” the other replied.
“And you never set eyes on me before, I
s pose you'll say:”
"Never. And don't want to again.”
’ Shoot me if I don t begin to i elteve you are
right. But why in creation didn't you explain,
or ask rue to: You must have thought me a
fool.”
4 Yes, I know you was a fool; but I had just
found out that I had tramped nearly nine miles
along a wrong road, and was wishing someone
would come along and give me a touch up. I
didn t want to have any stupid explanations
about it.”
‘ Don't mention it.” replied the other; ’*a
rotten ap >le will cure that black eye of vours
in less tuan a week, and regular rinsings with
salt amt water will tighten up your loose teeth
in about no time. I feel 20 per cent better for

Romance of the Sea.
The fond mothers of ten Baltimore girls,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer, intrusted their
daughters last May to the custody of Miss Car
rington. who. being a much traveled woman,
was considered quite capable of chaperoning
them through the countries of the old world,
for which they set sail on the American Line
steamship Chester, of which .John A. Heed was
the handsome purser. Mfip Carrington’s vigi
lance over the young ladies only relaxed when
they talked to the officers, and as the purser is
a man of more leisure than theoffliers who
have to stand watch he was much in demand,
and by none more than blue-eved and cherry
lipi ed Miss Zell, c aughter or the lute Oliver
Carroll Zell. Her thirst for sea knowledge was
insatiable. and Purser Reed was a reservoir of
information. A love spark was kindled, of
which they were not conscious at the time.
The ship landed and they parted.
Three days later, while in Brussels purchasing
supplies, the purser unexpectedly met Miss
Carrington and the young ladies, and they were
all delighted to see him. Having a day to spara
and being one of the best fellows in the world,
he made up parties to ride and to drive, and
was agreeably useful in many other ways. Our
hero and heroine were secretly in love with
each other when they again parted, ho to re
turn to his ship for a voyago back to, the
United States and she to continue her foreign
travels.
Twice more he crossed the ocean, and. unable
to longei stand suspense, he chased after the
party to Antwerp, where he told Miss Zell how
it was. and so they were married then and
there w ithout telling any of their acquaintances
about it. Again they separated.

Remains of St. Anthony Stolen.
The shriveled mortuary remains of St. An
thony, says the New York Tribune, have been
stolen from their reliquary in Padua and left
stripped of their jewelled adornments in
the neighboring woods. He was a saint of the
woods, patron of swineherds, of great celetrity
among the canonized ligures of the church, and
his remains, though exceedingly exsiccous and
adust, deserved better treatment. Either his
place or sepulture should have been more se
curely guarded or his relics should have
siumbtr3d beneath a less expen
| aive and tempting regalia. The ex
ample of spoliation thus set is particularly
; dangerous in Italy, where the dead saints pos
| sess a good deal of property much wanted by
| the living sinners, and there is no telling when
the practice thus initiated will stop, conse
quence of iheir general spoliation might indeed
be the discovery that they can got on quite
well without such a lot or posthumous orna
ments, but the principle thus established would
be pernicious and generally injurious in its ap
plication. As The remains of the despoiled and
unsepulchered saint have been found and re
j stored co their place, it is to be hoped that a
; like discovery may await his decorations,
though they ought hereaiter to be put away in
a safe with a time lock and a private watch
man with club, lantern and bulldog to
over their security. The robbery of such a
saint as Anthony is no light thing when his
record is considered, and shows a depraved
state of morals among the br.gands of the pen
insula not hitherto known. It is quite lime
that church arid state combined against them,
according lo Crispi s present programme,
which, under the circumstances, he had better
hurry up.
My Lord in Bad Hands.
When Lord Randolph Churchill was last
in America he visited the city of Phila
delphia, and while there, set about col
lecting statistics relating to the state
prisons of Pennsylvania, says the West
minster Gazette. He was referred to the
head of the state prisons board, a gentle
man rejoicing in the somewhat singular
name ot Cadwallader Biddle. Before call
ing upon Mr. Biddle, however, Lord Ran
dolph fell into the hands of some wags
of the Union League club.
“You’ve got the name wrong,” said one
of these merry jesters. "It's not Cadwal
lader Biddle, but Bideallader Waddle.”
"Don’t ntind what he says, Lord Ran
dolph,” exclaimed another; "the real
name is Fadbillader Caddie.”
A third member took the ex-chanceilor
of the exchequer, and imparted to him in
confidence that he wps being gulled on
all sides.
“What, then, is the actual name of the
prisons hoard chief,” anxiously asked the
noble lord.
“The actual name," confided his false
friend, “is Widbollader Diddle."
And when Lord Randolph drove to the
prisons hoard that evening lie was so up
set that ho stammered: "Will you take
this card Into Mr. Bid-cad-wid-wad-did
dollader. Whatshisname?—l mean the
chief of the board, but 1 forget his extra
ordinary nomenclatural combination."
Mr. Cadwallader Biddle himself, who
has been recently staying in London, is
the amused narrator of this story.
Ha Lives in a Tree.
An eccentric oil fellow in Louisiana. Tom
Rogers by name, has his home in a tree, says
the Boston Globe, this quaint domicile is
perched among the low and larger branches of
an immense white oak on the Calcasieu river,
near Lake Charles.
While necessarily constructed in a rambling
and circular manner In order to obtain a suit
able foundation for a chamber of comfortable
size, it shows ingenious design anu muen
strength.
So strongly and compactly Is it built that it
seems almost a part of the tree and there
would be little danger of its destruction except
by lire or the uprooting of the monarch ouk by
a storm.
It is several miles from anv other habitation,
and is well adapted to the solitary life chosen
by the strange old hermit.
He cultivates a few acres of land to meet his
simple wants, and the adjacent river and forest
afford him an ample supply of fish and game
for food and to sell in the town market.
He never leaves Ills rotrent except when com
pelled by his necessities to soil farm produce
and game to supply him with food and clothing.
On ills trips to town be avoids ull conversation,
and lo the country round about he is a verita
ble enigma.
Didn’t Like the Chandelier.
Mr Toole, says the Gentlewoman. Is one of
the oualntest. most amusing men. Two years
ago. when he and Mr. Tree happened to be star
ring at the same time, they met at Glasgow In
anew and magnificent hotel just opened. Toole
conducted Mrs. Tree to tee the diningroom.
"It is ad very nice." said Mrs. Tree in that
soft voiceof hers, only 1 don't think I like the
chandelier."
Now the chandelier was one of the moat
gorgeous and massive description, the very
pride of Glasgow. Mr. Toole rang tho bell.
"I wish to mo the manager ” he remurked.
when the suiter came in answer to his sum
mons. After atime the manager came.
1 want to usk you. ' said Toole gravely,
without the ghost of a yttiile, "to have that
; chandelier removed by dinner time. Mrs
I 'dree doesn't quite like It.”

Although the youthful Khedive of Egypt does
not smoke, and is strictly obedient to the
koran s injunction not to use strong drink, he
finds various ways of amusing himself. One is
in Lis yachts, of which he has four, the largest
being about as big as an ocean liner. Under
his rule woman's position is fast improving in
Egypt and harem life is disappearing. By the
Mahometan law an Egyptian is permitted to
have four wives, but at present it is considered
bad form for a man to have more than one
helpmate.
The Philadelphia Record says that Gan.
Daniel H. Hastings, the republican candidate
for governor of Pennsylvania, possesses a
memory for faces and names that is nothing
less than marvelous. As adjutant general of
the state, in his many campaign tours, and in
his business relations, he has been brought
into contact with great numbers of persons,
and to a friend he recently remarked that he
believed he could call 60.000 people by name.
To most people 600 names would oe a burden
on the memory, but the general carries his 60.
ojo with an ease that astonishes his friends.
According to recent statistics there are
about 2,000 women practicing medicine on the
continent of North America, of whom 130 are
homoeopaths. The majority are ordinary prac
titioners. but amoug the rema nder are 70 hos
pital physicians or surgeons. 15 professors in
the schools. 610 specialists for the diseases of
women, 70 alienists. 65 orthopedists. 40oculists,
and aurists. and finally 30 electro therapeut
ists. In Canada there is but one medical j
school exclusively devoted to the training of ,
medical ladles, but in the United States in 1893 j
there were ten. one of them being a homoeo- j
pathic establishment.
Could there be a greater contrast in "impres i
sions” of America than Max O’Rell s happy-go
lucky observation of us. and Bourgets' fine
analysis? Everybody will read what the keener
Frenchman has to say. for if he does not al
ways hit the pupil of the bull's eye. he gives
more margin for argument and more room for
denial. M. Bourget is never witty, but he
appears the more sincere for that, and
the country au serieux. which is flattering to
our self-esteem. He remarks on the “fine ani
malism” of the American woman, and the
shining whiteness of her teeth, which, if filled
with gold, is so much a work of art as to cause
the “infirmity” to t e forgotten. What an un
expected compliment that is for the fragile
American dyspeptic of other days! Care of
health and not abuse of wealth has produced
this “new woman. ’ worthy of being called new
without cant or prejudice. That she should he
recognized as a type, by a stranger, only shows
to what physical perfection she has been
brought under the present regime.
The Ferris wheel has been a sort of white
elephant on the hands of the owner ever since
the world's fair. It paid very well there, but
since they have not known what to do with it.
It is now proposed to take it to New York and
turn it into a sort of gigantic elevator to carry
people to a roof garden and skating rink,
which will be the highest in The world. The
plan is to erect the wheel as it stood in Chi
cago. Outside o! the wheel and trellis work
will be four steel columns. These columns will
run closer together as they ascend until the
top is reached, 290 feet, where a steel platform.
200 feet square, will be constructed. Ascend
ing from lour corners #f the platform will be
four more steel columns, running up forty feet
to a pyramid tower, protected by a railing,
which will serve as an observatory. In sum
mer the platform w ill be open and used for a
roil garden. In winter It will be closed in with
glass and heated with steam. Mr. Ferris tie
lieves the platform will be sufficiently large to
allow room for a stage and an orchestra when
it is desired to use it as a roof garden.
The German empress continues her good
work in behalf of the construction of more
churches in Berlin and other parts of Prussia.
During the last five years fifteen churches have
been built or renovated and enlarged in Berlin
alore. involving an expenditure of 18,000.000
marks, and just now seven others are being
completed in this city. Eighteen more churches
are to be built, besides tbe above, during the
next five years, and thereafter two new ones
every year, to provide for the increase of popu
lation. Among the new churches just being
completed is the Emperor William memorial
church, a magnificent structure, for which 3.-
30,.0tM marks has thus far been spent and
whose interior decorations are the finest and
costliest In any Berlin church. The orthodox
clergy, though, severely ci itlae all this splendor,
especially because among the statues of saints
and apostles and early martyrs in this church
there will also be a perfect • statue gallery "
as they term it—of the hohenzollern ancestry,
the latter, in fact, exceeding the former in size
and artistic value.
“When James K. Polk ran for governor of
Tennessee about the year 1840 “ said A. G.
Selby, of that state, to the Washington Post,
“against the Hon. James C. Jones, the future
President of the United States, got a licking.
His successful opponent, who was familiarly
known as ’Lean Jimmie Jones.’ wasn't much of
an orator and didn't make any great preten
sions to scholarship, but he was a man of the
people, and had a habit of succeeding at the
pods. During his campaign with Polk for the
governorship, the latter on the occasion of a
joint discussion, made a long and exhaustive
speech on the tariff, which was a credit to his
anility and research, but was rather prosy,
somewhat worrying the crowd. When Jones’
turn came to speak he paid a compliment to
Mr. Polk's address, but dismissed the tariff in
snort order.
• Mywriends.' he said, this tariff question Is
really not the intricate matter it has been rep
resented; in fac:. it is as simple as the alpha
bet. Now, what would I do in regard to the
tariff? Why. simply this; “If the tariff is too
high I'd lower it. but if it was to low Id hist it ’
It was such an easy solution of the matter that
the audience yelled tumultuously and Lean
Jimmie carried the day.”
