How He Takes It-SIe Hears of His
Defeat and Goes TO w0rk-GeneraI
McCIcIIan's visit.
New York, Nov. 4-General Hancock
went to his official headquarters yesterday
morning and was soon immersed in the
daily military correspondence Lie bad
read the morning papers at breakfast and
knew the result, Not word fell from
his lips, not movement of his mpassive
face gave token of emotion within II
was only by intuition that the members of
the home circle remained silent through
out the morning meal. The General took
his hat and did what every man will give
him credit for doing-he went to work.
Two or three visitors called and were
received by Gen. Mitchell in the Office.
"What do you think of the election 2"
inquired one of tine gentlemen of the
General.
~ can only repeat what have said all
along, that l am willing to abide by the
decision of the people. Our country is
republic and the majority must rule"
"Then you do not complain because
you have been defeRted?'
"rhere is no use Of complaining"
"Well, General, there is one great con-
solation-you will not be hampered and
harassed with the cares and perplexities
incident to the Presidency"
General Hancock laughed aloud and
said, "Well, gentlemen, have my duties
to perform as Commander of the Military
Division Of the Atlantic, and | must not
forget that / have large amount of Off
cial work awaiting me at the present
moment"
Turning to an orderly, General Hancock
inquired, "Has General Fry arrived at
headquarters
mo, sir" was the reply; General Fry
is confined to his house by illness"
~ am sorry that General Fry is ill.,
Please tell him that lie has my sympathy.
Az ho is not here | must attend to lot of
correspondence myself"
General Hancock rapidly tossed over
the letters and documents awaiting his
attention. Half an hour afierward the
General having flushed his CORE
spondence, called an orderly and said
please tell the officer of the day that
guard mounting was little late this
morning. 1t is my desire that the utmost
punctuality be observed in all the routine
duties of this post"
AT 10 o'clock the ferry yacht brought
over to Governors Island gentleman
who had once himself tasted the bitter
experience of the soldier. candidate for
Presidential honors, General George B.
Mcclellan. 1t was kindred feeling,
doubtless, that drew these two men
together, and as they stood there, manly,
dignified and silent, they formed picture
that was at once impressive aud illustra-
tive OF the vanity of all human greatness.
swell, General" was the VISITORS only
greeting.
Mac, am glad to See you,' responded
Hancock.
Il am sorry"
81 am sorry, too, but only for the
people and the party"
The other visitors Withdrew, leaving the
two generals alone.

PARIS, Nov. 5.-The lawyers Of the two
Russians, Kslitger and Hoigowics, who
were sentenced to IL years penal servitude
for the theft OF diamonds from Nj. Fon-
tana's shop in the Palais Royal, have de-
manded revision of their clients SEN
tence, the severity of which, they allege,
was due to belief that the accused had
hidden their booty, and were able, il they
chose, to restore it. The diamonds have
since been recovered from New York, and
the woman who picked them up in the
garden of the Palais Royal has been sem
fenced to imprisonment.
The diamonds were thrown away by the
thieves in their flight. Anna Bengold, a
young woman of loose character was
passing through the garden and seeing
the precious stones glitter in the dark,
picked them up aud hid them in her dress.
Her lover, Lucien Fontaine, counseled her
to restore them; but the girl determined
to sell them in America and took ship for

One of them was found to contain a
photograph of Anna Bengold, sent her by
friend she had made during her Ameri-
can trip, who had innocently helped. her to
dispose of the proceeds OF the robbery.
This gave the detectives the necessary
clue, and they were not long in arresting
the girl ard her lover and drawing full
confession from them both. Anna Bengold
was sentenced to years imprisonment
Fonteine to imprisonment for three
months. Tho Parisian jeweler was lucky
enough to recover his gems intact.

They All Know.

Once in a lifetime you meet a man who
will admit that he DOESN'T know all about
horse, but he may come around next
day and claim to have been temporarily
insane when he made the admission. AS
O ruls, every man knows exactly what ails
the horse, whether anything ails him or
not, md cen point out dozen instances
where Nature could have improved on her
work, no matter how well she did it.
Yesterday horse which had been looked
over by the fire department and rejected
on account of size, was tied to post on
Griswold street. He was as sound as n
dollar, not even showing a wind-puf.
Pretty soon along came two lawyers and
one Of them remarked;
"Pity such nice animal as that is
foundered "
"Yes, and l con SEQ that he is wind
broken to boot" was the ready response.
Then the cashier of q bark halted and
took a look at the horse's teeth. He was
going away, when mai!-earrier asked;
'How old do you call him."
'Some men might buy him for II. but
they couldn't fool ME. That horse will
never see lG again"
The best Judges had called him six. and

snimsis ribs, rubbed his spine, and
observed .5... -...
He's got the bolts, or I'm no judge of
horses"
Then o merchant halted and surveyed
the horses legs, lifted its front feet,
ppched its buees, and teelingiy said
''Been pretty good stopper in his day,
but hos gone to the crows now"
The next man was bookkeeper. 1t
took him about five minutes to make up
his mind that sweauy WA the leading
aiment, although pall-eyil, beaves and
ganders were present in bad form.
"What is sweeny?" queried an innocent
bootblack who had made up his mind that
the horse had liver complaint.
"Sweeny?" ?" repeated the bookkeeper-
''look at the way he carries his tail and
learn what sweenv is.
"oh, no." put in another" sweeny
affects the eyes"
Il guess not" said an insurance man /;
81 guess sweeny Affects the lungs"
"LupgsI" cried a broker-'yo you mean
the stomach!
And they were isngling over it when
the owner of the horse came and led him
away.

Dover nelawnrean.
Where dii the money used by the
Republicans iu this State coms from? We
know that j, dld not aii come out Of their
own pockets. They had, as is known,
very large amounts, and more than they
could use in oorrupting voters. Where
did they obtain it? 1t is said by some,
that they borrowed u portion of it upon
conditions which could only be complied
with in case tue Legislature should be
Republican, and that the condition
falling the money will have TO be
returned This kind of contract was
made once before and the money had
to be refunded. Now let the men who
borrowed the money under such an agree
ment pay it back and take up their bond.
1t has been intimated that large amount
was obtained from tine Delaware Railroad
Company under a promise to secure for
that com pany such legislation as it desired.
In other words, TO release, the company
from the payment of taxes to the State.
Is this SO? Can il be possible that the
leaders of the Republican party in
Delaware proposed to sell the legislature
of the State to railroad company
Yes, that is not only possible, but highly
probable. But can it be possible that a
corporation, owing its corporate privileges
and franchise to the State, would seek
to purchase exemption from the payment
of Its obligations by furnishing money to
corrupt The voters of the State We say
we do not like to believe it, nevertheless,
the vin1ication of the company, IL
innocent, against such suspicion is
demanded, ard even the suspicion, il well
founded, should lead to an investigation
that will ascertain the facts and point to
the appropr late remedy.

Conclusion of the HIeyer Case-An
Interesting Keminiscence.

Coroner BUTTS Investigation into the
cause of Henry Bleyer's death was COM
pleted Friday evening. The only further
Witnesses examined were ex-Polioeman
Gutchner and Lawrence Glatts, but moth
ing could be learned that would warrant
any other conclusion than that death re-
suited from accidental drowning, and
verdict wns rendered to that etfacr
An interesting fact in regard to this case
is tha; the deceased and Mr.. Chats came
to America % the same vessel in 1918,
noT 62 years ago. II toak nine moatbs
to mska ths voyage, and at the end of
that time the sorely-.ried aaiier landed its
passengers ut New Castle. Nlessrs. Bleyer
and GIatts did not get far away from the
landing place, and at the time of the for
mer's death we're living within few doors
Of each othec. There are ouly two suryi-
vors from among the passengers who came
over GU this boat, and they are Mr., Glatts
aud Mrs Loper, IN old lady who keeps
trimming store near Sixth and Lombard
streets MIR. Bleyer was Z years old ct

Extracting PerJumes.--A French pro-
lessor has recently described profit
able use OF methyl chloride in the ex-
traction of the Odorirerous PRINCIPLES
of flowers for use In perfumery. For
this purpose the gaseous methyl chlor-
ide IL introduced into an apparatus
containing the flowers, and after re-
naming few minutes in contact with
them, passes into another. apparatus
where Il vacuum has been produced.
A rapid vaporzation, followed by re-
new!ed condensation, brings tho chlor-
ide back to Its original state, while the
odoriferous principles, in company
with waxy fatty extracts, are left be-
hind. They are entirely freed from
tho latter, and obtained In high state
of purity by simple treatment with cold
and alcohol.
