MUM I INDSTINCT Pr7nt | ALBANY WEEKLW HERALD: ' SATURDAY, OCTOBER i, 1892. mmmm JFOOL OR LUNATIC. tllr. Ilortou Whs Called Out After the Speaking* « The New York Herald's Cor respondent At the Hamburg Hospitals—His Description of Scenes Pre sented There—His First Night. Mr. Aubry Stanhope, representative of the New York Herald, has lieen ad mitted to the Hamburg hospitals, and has telegraphed to his paper a descrip tion of the scenes llrst presented. He says: l drove up to the Eppendorf hos pital, a hlg, red building of recent construction. As we drove under the portico through which thousands of sick have entered during tlm past ton days, and thousands of (lend have passed out, an overpowering smell of disinfectants blew its sickening blast orer ns. Accompanying me was llis Excel lency tile Uruguayan Minister Henor Stisvicln Guardi, the well known pnn- thologist and bacteriologist, fellow of the medical faculty of Berlin, nil inti mate friend of Professor Vlrschow, and a man of science. He takes a warm interest In the Herald’s tests. His Influence has obtained me admis sion to tile hospital. Then it was that I became n Cholera nurse. My ward Is F to O. To that f have been specially assigned owing to the fact that the most dangerous oases are taken there. You may imagine me in a white canvas uniform with silver buttons. 1 wonder how many of the renders •of the Herald have been i 11 the (lend ward In a cholera hospital, F is the •dead ward. Here many come in and few go out. Have many of tho Herald’s renders been in the stifling strench of dying olioleralcs? Have you anv iflea of the manner in which patients are brought in? Somonro saved, others are carried out dead on a little yellow stretcher, the yellow cnnvns hoods of which nro now almost worn into holes Irom service. While writing this I have been onll- ed a hundred times; now to take temperature, another time to hold the nrm of a man whose veins have been opened to inject salt water, to rarlfy his clotted blood, and so on. I have made more beds to-day than ever before in iny time. Yes, I told you l had not come here to play. This is no play. [ went to take the temperature of Jtabe after breakfast was ordered. A sheet had been drawn over tils binck- cned face. So it will be with many this evening. Night will close much of their misery and I shall sleep in the thick hotbed of death, probably in the bed in which Rnbe died this afternoon HIS PIIIST NIGHT. Of bis llrst night in the hospital Mr Stanhope says: l have so far done with nearly nil my teste. Hast night I slept in the bed of n dead man between two dying mem I have drank Elbe water, eaten and drank among the sick, neglected all precautions, and further still, have plae.eil my hand in my mouth after nursing patients, &<•.., and, so far, I am safe. The doctors have entered warm ly into tile Herald’s tests.” .iA.UHMUIS Pl'I.l.liO. Tom Friday’s Kntxixa IIehai.ti. The scenes and events which were contingent upon the visit of the Third Party to Columbus yesterday were Very similar to what occurred here as was seen in the special telegram to the Hkhald yesterday, with the exception of the fact that in Albany it would have been dangerous for any man, Third Party or what not, to have laid hand on Mr. Horton when lie nrose to correct Weaver’s statement. And so in Columbus yesterday when the manager of the opera house found out that Mr. Horton was resenting an insult offered by Mrs. Leake,protected as she was by her sex, he apologized to Mr. Horton for Ills rough treatment. The party received no better treat ment there than here. Mrs. Lease ing frequently :h'torrupted by hisses and erics of “Hurrah,for Cleveland.” Mr. Horton was called out at tlie (inclusion of the speaking. He re lated his experiences at Pulaski and denounced Weaver lor having taken ernge under the petticoats of Ills fe male detainer and charged him with cowardice in not defending himself. lie Journal representative reiterated Ills challenge to the Lease woman to ntne a mao to represent her. When he does so the foul insult she hns east pon the correspondent under the protection of her sex, will Vie hurled bank and resented. Mr. Horton has done some good ork against the Third Party in Hie State, and his services have not been unappreciated. WKATEll AND VIEI.U’S I.RTTKll, No “M It in” l.nniti Wnulrtt in Albnny. The Police made a raid on a Negro gambling den oil Saturday night, or rather it was 1:80 Sunday morning, Five Negroes were pulled. They ■were Jack Jordan, Will Washington better known as “Hawk,” Beverly Gor don, Mike Gordon and Frank Jenkins.. Officers James, Barron and Raley made the raid, and they made a clean sweep of it, taking In participants, parapher nalia and ail. These Negroes arc all well known offenders, and about every six months just such a raid is inade,and about the same men are pulled. They were play ing a game of cards known ns “skin,” perhaps the best title for a gambling game to be found in the vernacular. They will he fined just high enough to let them know that no “skin” games are wanted in Albany. Several of them have given bond and are out until the time for their trial. There are one or two other fields for police work in the city just along this line. Several gambling parties might be found if rigid search were made, and if they are caught Judge Jones will let tlieqi feel the full weight of the law. This class is a menace to civili zed society and should be squelched. In a speech atMattoon,HI., the other day, Hon. W. M. Springer fully ans wered Gov. McKinley’s argument the tin-plate question. It is well known that, the making of tin-plate is an unprofitable industry in this coun try, yet the present tariff tax puts duty of twenty-two cents per pound upon the manufacture of it, which puts many necessary articles out of reach of the poorer classes. Mr. Springer brought up the facts and Hgures to prove that a protective tariff on tin plate was a sham and a farce. KXCITKtl ENT IA COI.V.lia 118. HER POSES WERE UNBECOMING. THE TRIUMPH WA3 HERS.. Colorado Sun: The letter is as tasteless as a cold pancake. Kansas City Star -. It is the most wonderful example of condensation in tile history of calamity politics. Memphis Appeal-Avalanche: All through tile South these malignant slanderers of tho South go asking for the votes of the Southern people in the Interest of'tlie Republican Party. Mobile Register: Tills man Weaver, who is placed before the people of Ala bama as a candidate for President of the United States, is about as vile a human being ns any Southern man eon Id be asked to vote for. Denver Republipnn: Weaver and Field wilt be dropped from tile list of tho friends of silver when the brief and pointless allusion to the coinage question in their letter of acceptance is carefully considered by the people of this State. Tho Cltr Clean. The cleaning up of the city to pre pare for any ease of emergency lias been going on alt the week, and now that all the filth and dirt has been re moved, there Is no need of fear in any emergency. The older requiring the yards back of stores to he denned out, at once tins in most instances been obeyed, and so far no cuses have been made on account of non compliance. Albany is now in ns healthy condi tion ns nny city in the South, and the people need be in no danger of nny epidemic. Now tlint we are clean, let us keep dean, for It will lessen the danger frum disease of any kind. It is a fact, strange hut snd, and ut terly inexplicable, t^nt such a large number ol farmers and all dwellers of the rural districts will leave the plough or give up nil employment for tile pur pose of attending apolitical discussion and afterwards indulging in a long fruitless argument with any person who embrnees a contrary political faith. This is especially true of those who love that partyism which is classed as Third. They very frequently can be seen walking the streets in search of some one to talk to, and seem to have a natural aptitude for getting up n de bate with persons who get away witli them on every argument. Defeated in one place, they hunt up another, but with Georgia Third Partyites, it seemB almost impossible to dishearten them, though many of them are now begin ning to waver. A St. Louis Colonel thinks our pro gress in civilization has cost us dearly. “As we progress from barbarism to civilization,” says lie, “We gain in wealth and creature comforts, hut we lose in individuality and indepen dence.” Of what use, we ask, is indi viduality and almost absolute inde pendence, if we have not the advanta ges of education and civilization to enjoy the individual and the original wherever it may be found? To a large extent the personal individuality of the masses may be merged in that of a few representative men, but the peo ple receive a far greater benefit in the progress of education and the addi tional comforts thus given to mankind. By all means give us the civilization. While the treatment of .Weaver in Macon iB to be deplored, it is’no more than was expected before he got out of the State. So long ns his utter ances are not incendiary he hns a right to free speech. The better and more effectual method of howling him down ia for the crowd to do ail the talking, at it did in Albany. Distinction jlctweon « Contortion suid nn Attltndo of Adoration'* TUo natural niggedness of libr face hod been materially softened by tho hand of art when she seated herself carefully in the photographer’s chair and turned her eyes in tho direction of the camera. Yet tho most careful observer could not be deceived into thinking her beautiful. "Madam, if you pienso, lbok” Tho artist was interrupted by a deprecatory wave of the hand. "No directions, pienso. 1 know just how I want to sit. I have studied myself in many different poses, and l know what I am bilking about." She leaned forward in a careless way, rested her elbow on the tnblo by her side, pressed one finger against her cheek, rolled her eyes until her glance rested upon tho coil ing and sighed. “There,” she murmured inn soft eestney, “liko that. An nttitudo of adoration, don't you know.” “But, madam” “Not a word, I know what I want.” Tho photographer merely wished to cull attention to tho distinction be tween n contortion and an nttitudo of adoration. Ho concluded, how ever, to remain silent. “There is only ono thing,” tho sit ter explained, “upon which I wish to have your opinion.” Tlte nvtist bowed. “I can’t really mnko up my mind whether a smilo or a pensive look is tlio more becoming to mo.” The artist would not willingly un dertake to decide so delicate and in tricate n problom without ample study. Ho essayed to look respect fully interested, but said nothing. "Do I look better thus?” Sho assumed nn expression ap proximating in severity that of tlio Gorgon Medusa. “Or thus?” Sho stretched her face with a smilo that would have caused the stoutest heart to quail. “Which do you say?” Tho artist thought! of tho delicate mechanism of his camera and grain ed in spirit. “My dear madam" Sho was listening e.igerl”, “If you could manage" “Oh, yes; certainly.” “Er—between tho two expressions it is difficult to decide" “Quite right.” “Thoy are equally becoming.’’ She simpered a weak simulation of dissent. “And if you could take little of each—a very little” She started in horror. “And try something else”- She was gone. Sho had scrambled into her wraps in a twinkling, made a few disjointed observations about being insulted and flitted away. "A very littlo of each, to be sure,” woro the words which rang in the cars of the artist, and it seemed to him they came os in a dream.—Bos ton Gazette. JWebster’* Genius. There is something in Webster that reminds me of Victor Hugo. There is the some confusion at times of what is big with What is great, the same fondness for the meroly spec tacular, tho same insensibility to re pulsive details, tho same indifferonco to the probable or even to the nab ural, the same leaning toward the grotesque, the some love of effect at whatever cost, and there is also the snmo impressiveness of result. Whab ever other effect Webster may pro duce upon us, he never leaves us in- difforent. We may blame, we may criticise, as much as we will; we may say that all this ghastliness is only a trick of theatrical blue light; we shudder and admire nevertheless. Wo may say he is melodramatic, that his figures nro magic lantern pictures that waver and change shape with the curtain on which they nro thrown; it matters not, he stirs us with an emotion deoper than any mere artifice could stir.— James Russell Lowell in Harper’s. A RmoIuI* Little Women Who Humbled a Haughty GlMa Setter. There is just now a triumphant little lady on Dearborn avenue, near Chicago avenue, and only a block away is a glazier who is suffering the horrors of defeat. In the Dearborn avenue house were two broken window panes. One of theso was entirely destroyed aud the other lmd only a small cor ner broken off. Tho glazier was sent for to replace thorn. Now tho ludy hud two small pic tures in nepd of glass, and tlio big pane was just the thing. Sho would havouit cut to (it them and would be so much ahead. But when sho had paid tho workman tho big pane of glass was gono. Sho sent tho domestic over for it, but tho glazier refused to give it up. “It vhns der rules of dor shop.” lie explained blandly. Then tlio little woman wont over. “See here, 1 paid you what you asked for putting in those panes and you’ve carried off my own glass. I Want that glass, uow.” "Vhcll, you pays foefty cents. Dor rules of der shop say so." “1 don’t care anything about tho rules of the shop. You’ve taken my gluts and I want it.” "Vhell, you god oudt," he returned, aud tho little woman retreated. Later in tho evening she went back accompanied by lior husband. Tiie husband without any preface walked up to tho counter, took up the window pane and started out wij.li it. “Police! Police! shrieked tho ex cited workman, rushing out on the sidewalk. The husband laid tho glass down ns two officers from tho Chicago avenue station hurried up. The situation was explained, and the police told the husband to toko tho glass if lie was certain of ilio prop erty. When I10 looked around, how ever, it had disappeared. Thoy were outwitted. Justico Kerston was appealed to to recover tho proport/ under a criminal wur- rnnt. It wouldn’t stick. Then tho little woman decided to hide her time. It came. Three mornings lator tho glazier’s boy rung the bull. Did tho glazier leave a hammer there tho other day? Oh, yes,” replied the landlady stoutly. Tho glazier needed it very badly. “That’s ail right. Tell him it’s tlio rules of thin house that we keep all the tools left here. If he wonts his hammer tell him to return my Aucient Sparta Among the Hebrews. Pigeons as letter carriers tradition tells us were employed at tho time when Joshua invaded Palestine as mediums of communication between headquarters and camps in lands far off on the other side of the Jordan. At the time of the Talmud thoy were used in amusing games. The Talmud tells us that betting was indulged in at the pigeon play. The owner of the pigeon which reached first the point designated was the winner. Another play connected with bet ting was the “kubya.” Kuby means a small pot (Arabic kubeia, small glass). The kubya was a little pot wherein dice were shaken and thrown upon the table. The dice were numbered as our modem ones are. Against these two gomes the Talmud was in arms, and their players were not allowed ( to appear as witnesses before the bar.—Boston Transcript. jay at i-Mi. A country newspaper correspond ent in Maine recently sent this cheerful bit of news to his paper “Brooks is at last provided with a nice hearse, and our citizens can now be conveyed to then’ graves in decent shape. This is something that has long been needed here.” It is a wonder cholera did not .take up with some of our American politi cians whose dirty records offered in citing fields for action. Ten minutes later the boy was at the door with the pane of glass. The landlady took it. Tell your boss he was mistakon— he didn't leave his hammer here I" And the door closed with a bang. Later it was learned that tho ham mer was left next door.—Chicago NewB. Gunboats Used as Forryboats. Passengers by ferry between Brook lyn and New York areprobahly some times not aware that during tho short voyage they ore standing upon tho deck of a former vessel of war. When the struggle of 1801-5 broke out the Union was almost without a navy and was compelled to impro vise her fleets. The department seized fit craft, or those which might be mnde fit, wherever it could find them. Among those taken were a number of then familiar vessels on tho South, Wall, Fulton and other ferries. Tho implication of the then iB not altogether exact, because sumo of thorn are still in use here, having returned to duty with the company after tho conclusion of pence. These improvised gunboats did good service. Some of them perished gallantly in tho conflict. Of course one of the ships of tho new navy would make short work of all of them in a squadron, but in the cir cumstances they had to meet chiefly improvised rivals, and they did their duty well.—Brooklyn Eagle. Wild IIor.es In ifrltlali Columbia. In on area about fifteen miles square below Trout creek, in British Columbia, is a band of at least 700 wild horses. They are not only eat ing off the stock ranges, but ore be coming a more direct source of loss to stock owners, for they entice away good horses, especially the colts. The government has several times been petitioned either to exter minate the band or give the settlers permission to do it, but thus far no action has been token. Though these wild horses are worthless little ani mals, the authorities are afraid that killing them will give offense to the Indians, who claim some of them, but who nevertheless shoot without hesitation when any of the horses interferes with their tame animals. — St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

There were four Chinamen down in the monument grounds evidently out for a frolic, and for about an hour they wore tho center of a wondering crowd of Americans, who enjoyed the most fantastic piece of kitefly ing that it is not often tho lot of a good Yankee citizen to see. Two of the Colostinls were attired in faultless tailor mode clothes, but the other two still clung to tlio flow ing costume of tlio east, though their light silk tunics and omhroidercd shoes woro of richer material tlmu ono oftou soes asido from tho mom- bora of tiie legation. Tlioir kito was of the famous dragon pattern, nnd from the ground looked tho exact counterpart of a huge red and white lizard twenty or thirty feet long, with a staring bend, blue whiskers and a waving tail of (laming rod cloth that lashed about in nn excited way. The monster eut idl sorts of strange antics. For awhile it would lie still, straight and rigid except for tho ceaseless movement of tho rod tail. Then it would begin to undulate liko a great water snake, nnd darting about tlio sky strain at its totlior, threatening to crawl down tho eliiin- uoy of tho bureau of engraving and printing, mid then, changing its mind, mount away heavenward again with a snaky quiver through out its whole length. Tiie little Chinaman in n lilac silk skirt, who was engineering tlio ground oml of tlio kito string, seemed to hove some occult understanding with his strange pot, in virtue of which it obeyed his slightest motion. A slight turn of his slender brown wrist would send tho creature mount ing upward into Bpaco, and at a sweep of his arm it would go through a wholo aerial circus net. It pulled liko a demon, too, and after caper ing around on his feet with it for half an hour in the stiff breeze its master was glad enough to Bit down on the big bull of string on tho ground and let his npm rest. But the glint remarkahlo part of the perforTTfimce cauto when one of tiie id tethers produced a light bam boo frame covered with rice paper which unfolded in tho shape of a butterfly. A pack of firecrackers was attached to it, and when it was hung on tho string of tlio kite it crawled steadily upward till within a few feet of tho dragon's head, when the crackers went off and the frame work folded up and slid back down the string. When finally tired of their sport the orientals hauled in tho monster, and as it lay on tho grotind its con struction could be clearly noted. It had a grotesque face, with a gaping mouth and windmill eyes that blinked with a rotary motion. The body was made up of twenty or thirty of the lightest disks of rice paper, varying from ten to three nebes in diameter, and stretched on delicate butnhoo hoops and hitched tandem a foot or more apart. The whole was wonderfully light, but whon extended presented u surface to the air that mode it float liko u bird.—Washington Post, col. j. m. Tells of Ills Hireling IV DnrU Veatrrdnr. The next State election will be field in Florida and Georgia; in the former on October 4, in the latter on October 5. Tbe Democratic majority in Flori da will be about 15,000 and in Georgia from 40,000 to 50,000. nepnrte* Over a Sear. A good story is related of Bobert Toombs and General John B. Gordon. General Gordon is a conspicuous flguro in tbe south today, und all who have seen him will recall to memory the long scar upon the up per part of his loft cheek, the me mento of a saber wound received during the war. Gordon is immense ly popular, and of hie popularity Toombs was a littlo bit jealous. Ho showed this feeling when in a cam paign speech- ho said 1 "If that scar were on tho back of Gordon’s neck instead of on his face he wouldn't bo so popular." Gordon beard of this, and a few days later while addressing a politi- l gathering got hack at the famous orator as follows: ‘If Toombs had been where I was when I got that scar it would he on the hock of his neck instead of his face.”—Detroit Free Press. Pkj Blm In Ul« Own Coin* In journeying from country to country tbe changes in the value of coins is apt to be confusing. But guineas and florins and kreutzers and double ducats have ceased to be a perplexity to me. I ask the price of ,a thing, look wise, as if 1 knew all about it, and then hold out my hand and let the vender take his pick. As riches take wings and fly away, I am determined to lose nothing in that manner. Fifty years from now a Turkish piaster will be worth to me as much as a Holland guilder, and it worries me not when I am cheated, for tho mfin who cheats me must in the end suffer more than L so that my chagrin is lost in compassion for his misfortune.—Dr. Talmage in La dies’ Home Journal.
