Sturgeon and Lydia Thompson.
I'M. D. Conveys London Letter in Cincinnati
Commercial

L Ne Os ~OuWoyO AOuuOu AottoE IL O1ASAAAu@N
Commercial
A rather unusual correspondence was re-
Gently brought about by message sent to
Lydia Thompson from the Lord Cham berlin,
saying that the religious feelings of some peo-
pie were offended by illusions to MIR. Spur
geon in ''Blue Beard" which is just now at
tracing great crowds to the Charing Cross
Theatre. Lydia wrote to the famous Surrey
preacher as follows:
Rev. Sir-In the extravaganza ''Blue Beard, :"
now playing at this theatre, the hero enacted
by myself gives o card bearing your name to
Blue Beard, adding, 1--WE always like to look
upon the Surrey side" This announcement
is invariably received with great applause
but, in Difference to your position, write to
ask if you have any objection to the use of
your name. If so, will withdr W it at once.
Yours respectfully, LYDIA THOMPSON.
The reply was as follows:
Nadam-Mr. Spurgeon duly received your
courteous note, and would have replied, but
has been suffering from an attack of Illness
Mr.. Spurgeon desires me to say that you hav-
ing the politeness to inform him of the little
incident, he is quite willing to leave the mat
ter in your hands. Very respectfully,
CHARLES BRADSHAW.
That Mr.. Sturgeon did not improve the oc-
casion to lecture Lydia on the sinfulness OF
the theatre in general, aud Of her acting the
part of hero, instead of heroine, in par
ticular, will probably induce his American
brethren to regret more than ever that he did
not visit them when solicited to do SO, when
he might have returned to us with more unc-
tuous ideas. l need not say that on the night
after this 81 little incident" the Chariug Cross
Theatre was the scene of the first demonstn-
ton favorable to London preacher ever
kown to the boards.

THE PRESS AND THE PRESIDENT.

The New York Herald demands that Pres;
dent Grant shall reorganize his Cabinet, ane
does SO in a way that would lead one to sup
pose that the HeyalTs demand had to be com
piled with at once or the White House would
have to be vacated at an early day. BENEFITS
father once made suggestion to Andy John
son about the ACCESSIBILITY of changing his
Cabinet, and it is not at all impossible that
before many months have passed Grant will
wish like johnson that he had needed Ben
nett's advice.
The big head and consequential leaders of
the Republican party will learn, some of these
days, how to appreciate the power of the
press, and there can be no better evidence Of
a mans failing sense or of the absence Of
sense, than to hear him inveigh la Ben But
Ter. against the press.
There are some men, however, so unfortu-
nately constituted that they gauge the world
5y their own narrow views, and look at events
as we look at eclipses through smoked glasses.
They do say that Grants glasses are generally
obscured by something more opaque than
smoke. One thing may now be regarded as
quite certain. Either the President will mend
his ways and change his Cabinet, or the most
powerful effort will be made by combination
OF the great Northern press to impeach him.
The HeraIds articles mean simply this,
Change front or you shall be impeached,"
and the Herald is power in the land.

WHAT CONSTITUTES STocKHoLDER.-Albon
P. Man, receiver of the Eighth National Bank,
sued Alfred 7. Conklin to recover the price of
ten shares of stock of the bank which stood
upon the books in his name, and which he
had not paid for. Conklin claimed that he
had not bought the stock, but that without
his assent they had been placed to his name
to enable him to act as director He denied
MS liability also, because the bank had no
legal right to deal in its own stock. Judge
Brady, before whom the case was tried. over
ruled the latter defense as against public pol
icy, and left it to the jury to say whether
Conklin was the owner of the stock. The
jury decided in the affirmative, giving plain
tiff verdict for S1334-N Y. World

and finding himself in danger of imprison-

pleaded lunacy. He was successful in getting
the jury to believe that he was crazy, but be
did not regain his freedom. A law, passed
last year, provides that in cases like that OF
Underwood, the accused must be sent to an
asylum and remain there unit, he is regarded
by the proper authorities as cured. This is
not pleasant to the "msdman" He is now
trying to prove that the law consigning him
to the hospital is unconstitutional He ought
not to be released, even if sane now, for if he
was once led to kill person through the in
fuence OF emotional insanity, he is likely to
suffer relapse at any time. If murderers of
this class cannot be convicted, they certainly
should be shut up where they can do no harm.

A Domestic Episode.

From the Georgetown ID. CO. Courierl
The other night prominent citizen, being
aroused by the fre-bells, rushed to the dool
OF his house in his night clothes to see where
the fire was. The door was provided with a
night-leck, and when he closed it it fastened
itself, and there he was out in the night with
no way to get back. His wife was out of
town, the servants were off to dance, the
son was down to the fire. Several desperate
jerks OF the bell and frantic pounding on the
door-the more frantic by the thought that
his property on Bridge street might be burn
ing or endangered failed to bring a response.
Notwithstanding his cool attire, sweat drop
ped from every pore. Just as he had reached
that nearly crazed condition which would
FENDER him unaccountable for any act, one of
he servants came rushing home The woman,
shocked at finding her master in so slightly
clad condition, put her hands over her eyes,
gave o slight shrek, and started quickly.
:. Come back here, confound you Let me
in !" fairly Kissed the master. But the woman,
now frightened, ran, and then there was a foot
race, and lively futter the ghostly garment
Kept up as a cadence to the swift-fying feet
OF the man. just as he had been brought to
sudden stop by painful bruise of his foot,
and was nursing it with curses loud and deep,
his son put In an appearance with KEY.

HOW TO PAY OFF THE DEBT IN TWENTY YEARS

HV" ~ TAI UFF IHE DEBI IN TWENTY YEARS.
Said Senator Eaton, the newly elected SEN
ator from Connecticut, at the late Manhattan
Club meeting:
If we are wise, we have before us thirty
years Of power. I am we'll aware of the great
responsibility that will fall upon the Demo
cratic party, but l desire to say one thing
here and have examined the question and
have no doubt about it, and wish to be respon-
sible personally for my opinion, that under
Democratic rule in this country, in twenty
years every dollar Of the debt can be paid,
and taxes reduced each year. [Applause.] 1t
can be demonstrated. There is expended to-
day, and has been expend for the last ten
years In this country, $50, ZOO, 900 over and
above the excess OF the interest on the
national debt, more than ever was expended
before.
Once place the Government in the hands of
men who will examine this matter thoroughly.
who will cut down all expenses, either in the
army or navy, and lop of the eighteen thou
sand g bloodsuckers," who have fastened
themselves upon the body polite, and in
twenty years every debt OF the Government
can be paid.
Ipropose that this Government shall nav its
debts in the legal currency of the Govern
ment, the constitutional currency. Let there
be one currency for the Government and the
same for the people. Applause J. Let every
step we take hereafter be step in advance
toward specie payments. No man of sense
viii say We must come to it tomorrow or the
next day, but We mean to have all legislation
point that way. The very moment you cut
down the expenses of the Government $780,
JOO,OO, that very moment you take the great
step toward that end.

There is one disappointed Democrat in
Massachusetts. He is veteran of 1912, and
lives in Shelburne Falls. Year after year he
patiently voted for Democratic candidates for
Governor, having waning faith that one
would some time be elected. On last election
day he got to work picking up things around
the barn, and concluded that it wasn't worth
while to waste time in throwing away another
vote. 1t hurts his pride to know that Demo-
crat was finally elected without his help.

The magnitude of the great Democratic cy-

We compare the figures of 1872 with 1874. In

over Greeley Taking the votes on the several
State tickets in 1874, we find Democratic
majority of 1926, 900 in round numbers. Thus
1t will be seen there is a change of over mil
