Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer.l
PirTsBURG, July 25.-To-day the
announcement was made public that
Colonel Henry B. Hays, who has been
a lifelong republican, has espoused
the cause of General Hancock. Col
onel Hays is one of the wealthiest
coal operators in the Pennsylvania
bituminOus region, and is known
at all points along the Ohio river as a
man Of great liberality. He has stood
in the foremost rank Of the republican
leaders in Allegheny county, and has
always contributed largely OF his means
to insure the success Of the republican
ticket in times past. He says, how
ever, that he will open an extra barrel
for the here of Gettysburg.
He was at one time secretary of the
legation to Denmark, and has gal
liant war record. His change of po-
litical faith will have a great effect
upon thousands of coal miners, who
have always looked up to him as a
leader and guide in matters political.
The announcement of his allegiance
to Gen. Hancock fell like a chilling
frost on the republican party here,
and as he is man of irreproachable
record and commands the respect of
al classes, they have not presumed to
express any opinion in the matter, but
are waiting alphabetically to see who
the next convert will be.

This remarkable case Of regal ingrat-
ltude is once more coming to the front,
a committee of gentlemen residents in
Deptford and Greenwich, including
the Rev. Edward Wallace and Mr..
Stacey Adams, having been yesterday
appointed to inquire into its merits,
and if necessary to memorialize the
home secretary thereupon. The facts,
told briefly, are as follows:
On the 18th of August, 1922. the
queen, then child, and called Prin-
cess Alexandria, was riding through
Kensington gardens in a pony car
riage. As the vehicle was driven
down the broad path by the water
SIDE, an immense. retriever came
bounding from the lake with large
stick held crosswise in its mouth, and
running beneath the pony, so fright
ened the animal that the carriage was
overturned on the footway, and the
princess thrown out Before, how
ever, the weight Of the carriage could
come upon the child, a soldier who
had been watching the party sprang
forward, and seizing the princess by
the dress, at the risk of being himself
dangerously injured by the falling
chaise, swung her safely into his arms.
Among the crowd which collected,
A subscription, amounting to some

the brave fellow who had saved the
oueen of England from a terrible and
agonizing death, and the pony being
presently Quieted, and the carriage
righted, the princess and her attend
ants proceeded towards the palace, the
man who had saved her life being
told to follow them. This, with some

To correct a scandal is a pleasant
duty, kind of christian pastime
Not very many christians pass much
OF their time in this way, however.
The seant morsel under the tongue
rolls with much more pleasure than a
compound cathartic pill. Pleasure to
the tongue, not the pill. When the
newspaper man gets down his scandal
machine, he finds that the crank turns
backward with much more. ease than
forward. 1t is only when he gets the
machine turned around by mistake
that he grinds out scandal. The
business of other men is TO make
scandal; of the newspaper man to cor
rect them.
Several days ago Mr.. S. Ableson.
Of Arkadelphia, came to this city in
company with married lady of that
place, the wife of merchant. The
parties went to the Robinson house
where Mr.. Ableson registered his own
name, omitting the name of the lady.
The parties only remained for dinner
The fact that they only remained dur.
ing the dinner hour is an important
one. When the clerk made up the
list of hotel arrivals, supposing that
as Mr.. Ableson did not register the
lady, she was his wife, wrote s. Able.

ssPrOfOund Stiffness Fell"

The New York Herald giveD this
account of a little incident at the
Fifth avenue hotel after Gen Garfield
had arrived: "After Gen. Garfield
had retired to supper, a crowd still
remained in the wide corridor Of
the hotel, and politics formed the
main staple of conversation. The
two names, Garfield and Hancock,
were every instant on everybody's
tongue. just at the time when the
discussion was at fever heat, a small
man, hardly more than five feet high,
black haired and wiry, came suddenly
to the counter of the hotel, and in a
piercing voice exclaimed: Bill Scott
will bet any man here ten thousand
dollars that Hancock is elected A
profound stiffness fell for an instent
on the audience, but the next mos
ment great big Republican, whose
name is locally famous, caught the
bold intruder by the collar of the
coat and fired him out of the front
door, to the intense amusement of all
present. That was all right, as it was
the Republicans funeral entirely,
and it was cold blooded business to
''sass" the mourners. But at the
same time, it was good illustration
of the eagerness manifested by the
Republicans this year to take bets
offered against their candidate.

A vigorous Campaign.

The New York Herald says: The
Democratic campaign, as prosecuted
from the headquarters of the ma
tional committee, is, in the judge
ment of members of the committee,
the most vigorous canvass that has
been made in years. Never before,
not even in the memorable campaign
of 1876, have such enthusiastic ad-
vices been received, and never, it is
reported, have so many Republicans
announced an intention to support
the Democratic ticket. Among the
letters received at the headquarters
yesterday were several from gentle :
men who have , hitherto been in
sympathy with Eepublicanism, but
who now say that they intend to
vote for Hancock and English.

several attempts to drag him into

saying; ''See here, mister, yer got

marked: "You are q tstranger to
