Chicago Theaters-. THE Times Big
HOaXe

The Chicago IEnafs recently caused
something of q sensation by an account
introduced by flaming headlines, of a
supuosititious fire in one of the local
theaters. involving the death of hun
dred or more lives. The New York
Herald some time ago hoaxed the people
of that city in the same cruel manner.
As the Herald did not add to its popu-
Iarity as a newspaper by its silly sell,
neither is the Times any better off for
its cheap imitation of the disreputable
New York concern, Judging from the
loud condemnation it receives almost
everywhere, There was no excuse what
ever for it. The Chicago theaters are
probably as well constructed with view
to the safety of their patrons in case of
fire as any in the country. This is
especially SO with McVicker's, against
which. it is said, the article in question
was aimed. It is model in this respect
the means of egress being unsurpassed
by those of any place of amusement in
all the land. Manager McVicker, in a
card. challenges the editor of the Times
to produce his architect. He says:
ask you, Mr.. Editor, to direct him to
name a day when he will meet number
of competent practical architects at
McVicker's Theater for the purpose of
making. thorough investigation of the
premises. am serious and mean busi-
ness. THE Times architect has made
direct attempt to inj1re me financially,
and shall use every means at my COM
mand to force him to sustain his position
by something more than assertion, or
confess himself to be what have, as
politely as knew how, termed him
do not protest too much, and here re-
assert that McVicker's Theater is perfect
in construction and safe in every particu-
lar. It's means of egress are ample from
every circle, and it is an impossibility to
cause blockade of the outlets, let the
danger come from where it may-either
from the front or rear. "

Corruption $50 Years Ago.

It is simply the repetition of history.
The New York Evening Post, looking
back 190 years, finds in the English Par
lament case like our Pacific Mail in
vestigation. The East India Company,
having obtained new charter, there
were rumors afoat that they had to buy
it, and an investigation was ordered A
House committee sat and sat, but the
density of the ignorance displayed by
witnesses summoned was SO profound
that for long time no light broke in
upon the matter. Finally, the commit
tee found by an examination of the India
Company's books that during the year
1893 some EGO, 900 had been expended
for special service. Hunting down this
trail it was found that Sir Thomas Cook,
the Governor of the company and a
member of Parliament rs well, had un-
dertaken the disbursement of the sum.
Cook refusing to tell tales out of school,
or in it for that matter, was promptly
thrown into Jail, and over his contuma-
cious head was hung bill providing
that if within a certain date he did not
confess fully, he should be compelled to
pay the ESQ, 900 to the India Company,
be fined e20, 900, and be incapacitated
to hold any office thereafter. The
House, at least, passed such a bill. In
the Lords, the Duke of Leeds opposed
1t, and Cook, In the attitude of craven,
begged that it might not be made law.
Indemnity was given him under his
promise to make full disclosures before
joint committee. The subsequent in
vestigation showed that while many at
tenpts at bribery were made, few sue
ceeded, but Leeds, Cooks champion in
the House of Lords, was taken red
handed. Some lesser lights were shown
to be corruptionists, but the bulk of the
fund was never satisfactorily accounted
for. ga large part of this money, !" says
Macaulay, (which Cook had drawn from
the company's treasury, had probably
been embezzled by the brokers whom he
had employed in the work of corruption;
but what had become of the rest it was
not easy to learn from the reluctant wit
nesses who were brought before the
committee. :"

Results Of Betraying State Secrets in
EcuAdOr

A letter from Quito, in the Cologne
Gazette, says that great excitement pre-
walls there about the proposed election
of Senior Moreno as President of Ecua-
dor, which, with the means the gov
ernment has at its disposal, will probably
be effected without much difficulty. The
clergy of all ranks are warmly exerting
themselves in his favor, as he is entirely
devoted TO their interests and the
Bishop of Rio Bamba, who has been on
a mission to Rome, is said to have
brought dispensation from the Pope
relieving Senior Moreno from the oath
which he swore ON being elected to the
Presidency that he would not again
present himself as candidate for that
post when his term of office should ex-
pire. The danger of betraying state
secrets in Ecuador was significantly IL
lustrated on this occasion. A respect
able citizen of Quito, speaking of the
Bishops mission, said that its object was
to propose to the Pope, on behalf of
President Moreno, that the latter should
be permitted to buy the wealthy con-
vent of La Merced for q tenth of It's
value, on the understanding that sum
equivalent to the purchase money should
be forwarded to Rome as Peters pence,
and the Archbishop of Quito be re-
warded for his connivance in the matter
with a Cardinals hat. Whether the
story is true or not does not appear
but the man who told it was suddenly
arrested, conducted under strong es-
cort into the wilds of the Rio Napo, and
there left to his own resources. This is
a punishment which has often been in
ficted on criminals of late, as it saves
prison expenses.
The journey to the Napo alone is suf-
ficient to injure the health even of a
strong man. For the first two days, as
far as Papallacta, it is performed on
horseback, but the road then becomes SO
narrow that there is not room even for
a mule. It passes over rocks, morasses,
and woods, up and down the snow-cov-
cred ridge of the Andes, and through
rapid mountain streams and the trav-
eler is exposed either to torrents of rain
or to the burning rays of the sun, having
no provisions but those he carries on his
back, and sleeping in the open air on
the damp ground. Finally, when he
reaches his destination, he finds himself
In country infested with poisonous
snakes and wild animals of all kinds,
with few Indians huts as his only
refuge.

A Novel Ballot.

A clerk employed in the Government
Telegraph Office in France, NJ. Jacquin,
has conceived the following system for
recording votes IN the National Assem-
bly, by electricity Before every Deputy
two ivory buttons are placed, like the
buttons Of electric bells. II the Deputy
wishes to vote EYES," he presses the
button on his right if he wishes to vote
s. No, he presses the button on his left.
The voter establishes by this means an
electric communication, which is trans
mitted to an apparatus close TO the Presi-
dent and his secretaries. Every time the
electric current acts thus it opens the
door to ball, and the ball falls through
a tube into the ballot box. The balls
are made of glass or ivory, and are strictly
identical in weight. The two ballot
boxes are then weighed, and the number
of balls is indicated by the weight.
Finally, by turning handle all the balls
which have not been used are let out,
and they give the number of members
who abstained or were absent whom the
vote was taken. Nothing can be more
simple. NJ. Joaquin has offered to set
up his apparatus in the Versailles Assem-
bly, for the sum of 60, 900 francs.

To THE SUFFER1Ne.-An old retired
physician, who is candid enough to tell
the truth about progress, has declared
that the recent discovery by DIR.
WALKER, of California, Of his herb rem
edy, VINEGAR BuTERs, is one of the
most important in medicine. He has
tested them thoroughly, in his own fam
lily, among his friends, and upon him
self; and he is driven to the conclusion
that they possess rare and unexcelled
curative properties. He says of them !:
tsThey contain no dangerous drug.
They never reduce the patient
render one liable to take cold-never in
terfere with the everyday business of
Ife-never make their continuous use a
condition of cure, and are adapted to
even the most delicate organization.

on the vigorous and athletic system ];
