A Spring Bonnet Against the
EFiSSfOnerS.

He was lately married, and had no more
idea of what any article of woman's dress
cost than an elephant has of humming
bird; so when the young wife gently hint
ed one morning that she must have new
spring bonnet he looked pleased, and
blandly told her to get something nice and
have the bill sent around to the store, and
he gave her good-by kiss and said he
wanted his little wife to look as well as the
school air. He had been to missionary
eetng the night hefnre and pleased with
the sermon, had promised liberal dona.
tlon to the collecting agent when he called,
as be had announced he would do on that
| day, so he took SIS and inclosed it in an
envelope, with From q fir end' on the
outside, and then tucked SIS into his vest
pocket to pay for his wife's bonnet. II
don't suppose it will cost more than half of
that. My hats never do, and they last
whole ear, but perhaps the gew gaws may
come to tnat," he soiiloquized. About 5
o clock D. N. 8 small boy appeared carry
| ing box, and the lately married man
took the IS out of his pocket and asked for
| the bill. Its inside with the bunnit,' he
said. The masIor of ceremonies opened
the box and looked vaguely in. Il don't
see any bonnet" he SAID. The boy looked
on and grinned. It's there" be said, IN
the corner, it's little un." TIL husband
| took it out tenderly with his thumb and
| finger. 1t looked like gold horseshoe
/ hands breadth of tinsel with tri-colored
feather. He picked u the bill. S25! Phew!
| The senior partner of the finn WAS making
up the day 5 account whe, a frantic indi-
vi 1ual rushed into his private office aud
exclaimed Look here Smith, 10 * at
this! Il see" said Smith, calmly; tits a
new bonnet" Heavens do they cost
like that! Why-why didn't you tell me
50 before-before-it was too late?' 1T
would have made no diff renee; that is
one of Madame l.. Modes imported bon-
nets, you see, know; IT. an old story to
me. and if you don't let her have it, now
that she has picked it out, she'll be
wretched AMI so will you; it is really
cheap at that price-sse?' He thought he
did he groaned and walked out. Then
took the $25 out of the envelope and paid
the boy. and put the S5 in his vest pocket
with the envelope and laid it away. When
the agent called for help for the missions
the young man thrust the inclOsure into
his hand mutteVing something that sound
ed like "CharIheglns at home"-as he had

Sticks to His Platt.

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, May 23.-The news
that Conkling and Platt will go be-
fore the legislature as candidates for
re election was received here in Ad-
ministration circles without manifes-
tations of surprise. Little else has
been expected, notwiths anding the
frequent protestations of Conklings
friends that he wished to return to
private life and enjoy the rewards of
an extensive law practice Friends
of the Administration do not believe
it possible in the present condition
of aft ftirs at Albany for the ex-Sen-
airs to be elected. The tenor of
private advices, received here from
that quarter, is to the same effect.
1t is believed that possibly Conkling
might get back, if not encumbered
by Platt, but the latter is the weak r
man of the two, and may pull them
both under. 1t is learned here,
through reliable sources, that Conk-
ling will not separate from Platt in
the candidacy, and says they must
stand or fall together

Absin the Drinking and It's EVIL Con
SrQuPnces.

Absinthe drinking is said to steadily in-
crease in the Republic. but much less
steadily than in Switzerland and France,
p4rLicu arly in France, where great eff
forts are making for its hbatement. 1t has
grown to be an enormous evil in these
countries, notably in the large cities like
Geneva, Zurich Berne, Marseilles, Lyons,
Paris At the French capital the practice
has augmented ala mingly within eight or
ten years. officers ofthe army, business and
and profess onal men and j journalists and
au .hors being specially its victims. A
f. ench physician of eminenca has recently
decla! ed that 1t is ten times more pernic-
lous than ordinary intemperance, and that
it very seldom happens that the Iabit,
once ii sed, can be unlOosed. The same
authority says that the increase of insanity
is largely due to bsinthe. It exercises a
deadly fascination, the source of which
ientsts have vainly tried to discover.
although they have no trouble in ascer>
tanning its terrible effects. Its immoderate
use spe dily acts on the the entire nervous
system in general, and the brain in partic-
ular, i'll which it produces actual organic
changes with accompanying arrangement

drinker becomes at first dull, languid is

seductive because it seems, in the begin

really hurts them, and very seriously.
Many persons have been induced to take
absinthe for indigestion and have thus

seizure of ten illicit distilleries. 3 in

Arrangements have been made at
the Indian office to effect the re~
moval of about 700 of the North

Indian Territory. This, it is thought
at the Interior Department, is the

Flashes by Submarine Gable from

LONDON, May 25.-The prosecution
of Herr Joann Most, publisher Of
the Socialist journal Fireheit, on a
charge of melting to murder, was
opened at the Central criminal court

Parliament, appeared for the defense.
Sir Henry Janus, on behalf of the
Crown, said there was not the
slightest desire to check free dis

contrary, this prosecution was
brought to presere that freedom.
The article published in the
Fireheit on which the Indictment
against the prisoner was founded
must be, he said, regarded as direct
threat to the present Emperor of
Russia of his fathers fate. He re-

Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.
ALBANY, n. Y, May 24.-l a NJ
The antl-machine men have been
hard at work tonight and have
achieved important results. The
first pledge, which was hardly ade-
quate to the occasion, has been dis
carded and new pledge positively
blhdlng the signers not to 90 into
ihe caucus has been signed already
py more than enough members of
the two houses to insure the a.f,ot
of COnkling and Platt. The siani,o~s
Of the pledge is not yet complete5
and a considerable number Of
additional signatures is regarded
as assured, so that the whole
number will have a wide margin fol
the machine to beat down, if it can
before it reached the twenty-siz
vital votes. It is said that eighteen
of the twenty-five Republican Sena-
tors are opposed to Conkling's re-
election. ....... ......
It would he difficult to overesti,
mate the elation and joy of the anti
machine men. They feel that the
defeat of Conkling and Platt is now,
what it has not been before, assured,
and there is already talk of a COM
promise ticket of Gov. Cornell and
Chancrry NJ. Depew. There are
famors that the friends of Gov.
Cornell I have practically stopped

pearances, as earnest as ever.

Further Developments in the New

letter was seat to Speaker Sharpe at
l1.3O this morning:

"SENATE CHAMBER,
.... "ALBANY, May 25.
" To Hon. George II. Sharp, chair
man of the assembly caucus COM
mil tee:
"DEAR SIR-The senate caucus
committee have given the question
of calling q caucus the earnest
deliberation which the gravity of
the situation demands. The
United States Senators from this
State have resigned, and thrust
upon the Republican members of
this Legislature the alternative of
supporting or antagonizing the
national Administration. This issue
involves the integrity of the party.
The resignation of our Senators has
left the Senate of the United States
in control Of Democratic majority.
The Republican party of the State
cannot submit its relations to the
party in the nation to the decision of
the majority of Legislative caucus.
No member ought to be excused
by caucus action from individ-
nal responsibility, but in joint
convention of the legislature and
on the solemn exercise of his duties
as a legislator, each man should cast
lis vote according to his conscience
or the wishes of his constituents.
We do not, therefore, deem it wise
to unite on call for joint caucus.
We remain, dear sir, yours truly,
cd. MCCARTHY,
GEORGE Ell. FORSTER"
While l do not fully C ,ncUr in
the above, [ deem it unwise and in
expedient at the present time To join
in or recommend a call for caucus.
"W. W. ROCKWELL.
Both sections of the Conkling and
anti Conkling members talk conf
IDENTIFY to day. The refusal of sem
ate caucus committee to call caacus
was not unexpe cted. The paper
circu ated yesterday for signatures
of Republican members calling a
caucus was still in circulation this
morning. The stalwarts say it will
contain the names of majority of
the Republican members. At noon
the staIwarts reported that they had
fifty signatures to their call for a
caucus. Fifty-four is a majority of
the Republican members of the
legislature.

The Tribune folks do not under-
stand US, they say. This is no fault
of ours. For their want OF capacity
to comprehend plain language we
are not responsible. We have not,
and will not, undertake to penetrate
their thick skulls. If we should
succeed we would find no room
there, we fear, for the lodgment of
an idea. Let them put any con-
struction upon what we say that
suits them, and then take whatever
comes they may choose. It would
be cruel to hold them responsible
for falsehood and misrepresentation
It is perfectly natural that they
should become the tools of the ras.
