trlbution of the Money.
Toveka, Not. 12.—At the beginning
of the i!*ate campaign in Kansas this
year the state board of health under
took to draw *8,0u0 of what is known as
the cholera fund, under the pretense
that it was to be used in extending the
health regulations of the boards in the
several cities of Kansas. The protests
of the Republican newspapers were so
strong that Governor Lewelling and
State Treasurer Biddle refused use of
the money on the ground that it was ap
propriated for a specific purpose, and
for the reason that there was no danger
of a cholera invasion. , '
Now that the campaign is over, the
Republicans fear that the Populist offi
cials will attempt another raid on this
fund, and injunction proceedings have
been commenced in the Shawnee coun
ty district court against the board of
le-alth and the officials composing the
st ate executive council to restrain them
from issuing any warrants for the dis
bursement of the unexpended portion of
the appropriation of §10,000 to repel any
threatened invasion of the state by
cholera.
The petition recites that the defend
ants threaten to do so, and will do so
unless restrained. It also alleges that
there is no invasion of the state, United
States or western hemisphere, by
cholera, and no threatened invasion,
nor has there been at any time since the
appropriation was made.
Judge Uazen granted a temporary re
straining order and will hear the merits
of the case next Saturday.
THE AMERICA CUP.
JLord Duoraffn Will Not Rest Until H#
<}*(• the Prise.
New York. Nov. 12.—LoruDunraven
and Mr. George L. Watson have deter-
mined to beat America at her own
game, says a cablegram from London to
Tho Herald, by building a yacht as a
new challenger for the America’s cup
designed especially for the international
course off Sandy Hook, and without
reference to the requirements of Eng
lish waters or English weather.
While the new yacht will not show
any radical departure from the lines of
the Valkyrie and the Bnttania in the
mutter of the form of her hull, she
will, nevertheless, embody the new ideas
taught by the Valkyrie's failure in 1803.
In surface power she will not differ
greatly from the Britannia, although,
as already announced, she will be a
trifle longer on the water line.
At the same time she will carry more
sail, bur probably a smaller amount of
lead, as the design of the keel will be
quite tivifi etdeeper than the keel of the
Va'kyrie, and very possibly more, thus
giving her a draught of 21 feet or there-
abo.its
The principle is that, with a longer
keel than either the Valkyrie or the
Britannia, and in order to carry n-
creased sail with a dtert ased amount of
lend, the weight will be concentrated
considerably lower down This feature
is the chief novelty of the new bo. *\
Even if more weight be used, however,
the difference in the weight of balk it
between the new boat atid the Valky e
v-ill not be more than two tons. Tue
increased sail will bring the sail area
up to and possibly beyond that of tue
Vigilant.
THAT NEW PARTY.

Sardine the Stiver »orem»at
Washington, Nov. j 2.—Senator Cam
erou denies that feature of a Denver
story which states that he has corres
ponded with the projectors of the new
“silver party,” about to be lannched,
and is in hearty sympathy with the
movement.
"I have had no such correspondence
as to a silver party or anything in that
line,” said the senator. “Like Mr. Hill,
who says, ‘I am a Democrat,’ I can say,
‘I am a Republican,’ although I am a
Republican who believes thoroughly in
silver.”
General Warner, president of the Bi
metallic league, is expected here this
week with some information on the
western movement for a silver party.

gnyrtM— to faraa tbs Ballet Bears I
Augusta, Ga., Nov. IS.—The follow
ing from Thomas E. Watson, the de
feated Populist candidate for congress
in this district, appeared in the Me-
Dfcffie Journal:
Forth* purpose of putting an end to
league, says that the statement from
Denver is probably correct. A meeting
will be held at an early day, Mr. Clark
says, bat the time and place have not
yet been determined. As to the details
of the movement, Mr. Clark is not in- 1
formed. He says, however, that a sil
ver party will nudonbtedly be formed
by the force of circumstances. Thus far
the Populists have given greatest en
couragement to silver, and, notwith
standing recent reports to the contrary,
Mr Clark says the Populists are strong
er than ever as a factor to assist silver.
Their total vote reached 800,000, and
they will hold the balance of power in
the senate after March 4. A balance of
power in the senate means a balance of
power iu congress and in all national
legislation.
Senator Stewart, of Nevada, said:
“I have no information regarding the
movement, and, of course, have had no
correspondence on the subjeot. I have
no doubt, however, that there will be a
conference of the leading nien from all
sections who are opposed to the gold
policy of the Republican party aud
Cleveland Democracy, and that they
will act together, but tne unclens of
any movement must be those 2,000,000
votes cast last Tuesday by the Populists
against the twin gold parties.”
A PERMANENT THING.
Republican. Will Sat Up Hou.ake.plnn in
Washington from Now On.
Washington, Nov. 12.—Permanent
Republican headquarters is likely to be
one of tho results of the past campaign.
Such a proposition is now under, con -
sideration, and has been very favorably
received by tho Republican leaders.
ho experience of all campaigns has
hown that it would lie wise for both
great parties to keep a national cam
paign headquarters permanently at tile
national capital, which should serve as
a bureau of political information al
ways accessible.
Under the present, system, at the be
ginning of each congressional and na
tional campaign the work of each com
mittee must commence anew The ac
cumulations of former campaigns have
then been scattered, and the party is
deprived of the documents and the ex
perience which have cost so much time
and money and are no longer available
It has been suggested that there is no
reason why much labor and expar.ence
and so mnch information should go to
waste, and that, by the expenditure of
a very small fraction ot the- amoun*
which is required to organize new cam
paign bureaus every two years, a skeie
ton organization contd be maintained,
a valuable permanent political library
kept and well indexed and a competent
political statistician and librarian cm

committee, would be of great advantage
to the party to which he belongs, and

A Church Split Up
Chattanooga. Nov. 12.—A dispatch
from Cleveland, Tena., says that dis

the Methodist Episcopal church, north,
iu which the followers of Rev. T. C.
Carter, who figured as defendant in a
fallacious church trial sometime ago,
and the followers of Rev. J. J. Manker,
of this city, are the opposing factions,
culminated iu the organization of a
now church in that town Sunday, to be
known as the American Methodist
church, and which is to have no bishop
or presiding elders, but is to be governed
by the people. Rev. Mr. McKinzie and
Presiding Elder Jarvis, of Cleveland,
are the selfcenstituted apostles.

St. Louis, Nov. 12.—A special from
Durango, Mexico, says that HenryWard
aud F. R. Orth, representatives of
American furniture factories, arrived
there a few days ago and left for a trip
into the mountains last Wednesday to
purchase timber lands. When about 70
miles south of Durango they were at
tacked by a party of bandits and Ward
was Bhot and killed and Orth seriously
wounded. Both men were robbed of
all the money they had.

Sheriff Cook, Republican, upon whose
request the militia were called out to
protect a negro assailant from a mob,
resulting iu the shooting down of sev
eral persons, was defeated last Tuesday

and gave large pluralities to the other
Republican candidates at the election.

Montgomery,Ala., Nov. 12.—A party
consisting of 500 families of the Pull

bama during this week and will estab

of the Henry George, near Blakely, in
Baldwin county. They have secured
2,000 acres of fine land at *5 per acre,
located on -he very spot where the last
. battle of the civil war was fought.
Military Prison Board Mooting.
Washington, Nov. 12.—The secreta
ry of war has appointed a meeting of
the military prison board, of which
General McCook is president, at Fort
Leavenworth, Kan.
He saw the treasury receipts constantly
growing less, with no immediate pros
pect of any favorable change. Already.
the gold reserve has reached a point of
*4,000,000 below the lowest point touch
ed previously to the last issue, with the
probabilities strongly in favor of still
further and larger withdrawals for ex
port as soon as the usual spring outflow
sets in. For the last several years the
spring withdrawals for export ranged
from *20.000,000 to fjO,000,000, and
even more, and it was nJTgood business
judgment, in the opinion of the presi
dent, to wait until the gold reserve was.
in fact wiped out before measures, should
be taken to replenish it.'
Secretary Carlisle, it is understood,
cook a more hopeful view of the situa
tion. He argued that the receipts from
internal revenue and customs .most of
necessity soon show a marked increase.
The supply of whisky which was with
drawn from bond just prior to the pas
sage of the new tariff act to avoid the
payment of the additional 20 cents per
gallon wonld very soon be exhausted,
and the demands of trade would result
in largely increased revenues from this
source, and what was true of the in
ternal revenue was equally true of the
customs. Just before the tariff act
went into operation, the withdrawal
from bond ot goods of every character
was abnormally large. This supply
had now been exhausted, or nearly so,
and it was the confident expectation of
the secretary that the present steady re
vival of trade would soon remove any
necessity for another issue of bonds.
Up to this time there had been no
signs of any important withdrawals of
gold Jor export, and it was bis opinion
that the emergency might be passed
successfully without increasing the pub
lic debt. He argued, too. that his ex
perience in placing the »ast issue taught
him that the issue of another *50,000,-
000 might fall far short of reconping
the gold reserve by that amonut. It
was an easy matter to deposit legdt ten
ders at the subtreasury and demand
polo with which to pay for the bonds.
This evasion of the spirit of the law an-
■horiziitg the issue of the bonds was
several times detected during the set
tlements f(v the last issue, and he fear
ed that it might be practiced again.
The president, however, thought- that-,
all things considered, he hacl preferred
not to wait until congress reassembled
in December, when measures might be
taken to obstruct the issue. In his opin
ion situation demau<’ a d the issue,
and there should be no unnecessary de-
:ay in the matter.

Waite, who stndies election returns

tleth Century club reception take it lor
granted, upon the authority of tbe dub’s
president Mr. Adams, that Dr. Doyle
is a canon, an associate perhaps of
Canon Farrar, and high in the oouncila
of the august church of England. We
hear it rumored that Mr. Higinbotham,
president of our late ever glorious and
ever lamented World’s fair, has not yet
disabused his mind of the serious error
arising from Mr. Adams’ blnnder; that
he addresses Dr. Doyle as Father Doyle,
and that at lunoheon yesterday he said
to his distinguished guest “Will your
reverenoe ask the blessing?’*
We don’t know how true It is, but
we understand that Dr. Doyle has been
invited to “fill the pulpit” in a num
ber of our churches, aud that he is be
sieged with letters addressed variously
“Rev. Dr.Doyle,” “Rev. Canon Doyle,”
•The Very 'Bev. Canon Doyle;’’ etc.
Altogether muob confusion has been
precipitated by the little slip made sim
ply in carelessness by the president of
the Twentieth Century club. We think
it incumbent upon that leading literary
organization of the west to set about
correcting the error its executive has
innooently sprung upon tbe public and
upon a very distinguished visitor.—

SOMETHING OF A MYSTERY. !
Involving Fonr Valuable Pointing*, a Bar-
Elar and m Cloae Mouthed Lawyer.
Four paintings valued at from *15,-
000 to *18,000 stolen from the residence
of the late Frederick L. Ames at North -
Easton in the summer of. 1886 have
been recovered by the family within a
week, and the recovery has been as
mysterious as was the robbery nine
years ago The members of the family
are still in the dark in regard to the
whereabouts of the pictures all these
years. They have no idea as to the iden
tity of the burglar, nor do they know
the lawyers who were most concerned
in the recovery of the pictures. When
the pictures were lost, F. L. Ames of
fered a reward of *1,500 for their re
covery.
Inquiries were made a week ago as
to whether the reward was still good.
The reply was in the affirmative, and
after some mysterious negotiations the
pictures were given into the possession
of the family and the *1,500 paid to a
lawyer in Boston, to be tamed over
eventually to the man who gave the in
formation. Everybody connected with
the transaction was pledged to secrecy.
The oircnmstances of the recovery in
brief are as follows: A man was arrest
ed in New York for murder, and when
a certain lawyer was asked to defend
him he inquired of the prisoner if he
had any money. “No,” said he, “but
I can give yon a pointer so I can get
*1,500, and you shall have *500 of it
The rest will have to go to a pawn
broker.” In this way negotiations were
opened by the New York attorney, who
wrote to a certain Boston lawyer, he
employing others, so that the identity
of the principals oonld be effectually
concealed, and the money was paid over
and the pictures returned.—Springfield

The question why cats fall on their
feet was solved Wednesday to the satis
faction of the French Academy of Sci-
Acea. Maurice Levy gave a mathemat
ical demonstration that a cat can by
oertain movements of its body turn
round in the air without external as
sistance. His theorem is that a natural
system can pivot on and by itself, if
certain of its points have, in compari
son with others, such a degree of liber
ty as to describe curves without ham
pering the movement of the other points
of the system. A gymnast writing to
