The people of the Town Of Hempstead. L. J., are
divided in sentiment over the refusal Of the Town
Board favorably to consider the proposition of the
Long Beach Improvement Company, or permit the
people to express their views through the ballot
box The company offered to pay $4,000 for the
title to the Beach, which it now holds under
lease, at rental Of $1,000 a
year, with forty-nine years 10 run
1t was held by some members of the
Board that the price was too small The Beach is
about four miles long; and it is said that if half
mile Of beach at Rockaway is worth $50, 900, Long
Beach is worth S200,00O. What vexes che people
of the town Ia the refusal OF the Board TO sub
mit the question to them at the town meeting, and
the Boards action ia held to DO illegal. II Is ar
gued in favor of the sale of the Beach that $50 900

THE New York Express says that Mrs.
Amelia Lewis has hit upon a method of
ameliorating, to a certain degree, the
condition of the shop-girls. She believes
that, standing and talking as they do all
day, they require something more than
cold food to sustain them, and to this
end she urges upon all shopkeepers to
supply a hot meal for their employees in
the middle of the day. How oh eaply
this can be done she demonstrated last
evening when she gave a dinner to thirty
s~hop-girls at a total cost of So, or at the
rate of ten cents per head. The meal con-
sisted Of rice soup, stewed beefsteak with
potatoes, stewed mutton with caper sauce
and turnips, and plum-pudding. Surely,
this was a feast sufficient to satisfy any
one, and if shepkeepers could be induced
to enter into the plan of giving their
employees such a meal every day, instead
OF allowing them to eat the pies and
other cold and indigestible food they now
eat. there would be brighter faces behind
the counters, and work would be better
and more cheerfully performed.

LAST NIGHTS SHOOTING.
James ManselI Shot by Frank Per
kins in self Defence-The WOunt
Probably Mortal.
[Reno Gazette of the 18th.

lA6uO Ohzcttt VI tue litu
James Mansell, Familiarity known as
Poker Jim " and Mahogany Jim +" was
shot at $40 last evening by Frank Per-
kins. The circumstances Of the affair as
told by witnesses are substantially as fol-
lows:
Mansell and Perkins were playing a
two-handed game Of poker in the Palace
Saloon yesterday afternoon. The game
ended in a quarrel, and Mansell went away
using threatening language towards Per-
kins. 1t is known that Mansell then went
to a number of places in town to borrow a
revolver, talking about Perkins in a threat
ening way. The quarrel in the Palace
ended about 5 O'Clock. At $50 O'Clock
Perkins was in the Merchants Exchange
Saloon, standing at the rear end Of the
bar, and talking with q friend about Man
sell. Some one came in and told Perkins
that Mansell was coming in to look for
him. Just then Mansell entered and Per-
kins said to him, quietly II van you to
get out of here, and to keep away" or
words to that effect. Mansell then backed
through the doorway, drawing and pre-
senting a pistol, and saying "Come out
here, you ---l" Perkins sprang
aside, drawing and firing his pistol like
a flash. His shot struck Mansell in the
head, and he fell unconscious on the side
walk. Perkins action was so prompt that
he got ahead of Mansell, who might bave
had the first shot, had he not been so slow.
No one saw Perkins make a motion to draw
a pistol. He did not draw until after Man
sell had leveled his gun.
Immediately after the shooting Perkins
surrendered himself to the authorities.
After a brief examination before Judge
Young last evening. he was liberated under
bail Of 50. 900, AL. White and James Fer
guson being received as sureties.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon the wounded
man was still unc, nscious, and it was
thought that he would not recover.

Should the Irish people in the United

British Government will be greatly in
creased. The naturalized Irish have
shared in the general prosperity, and are

THE fact is now established beyond
dispute that Hancock has a majority Of
the popular vote over Garfield of over
twenty thousand. The Chicago Tribune
some time ago arrived at a computation
which gave Garfield a majority Of a lit
tie over three thousand in the total vote.
The Associated Press telegraphed the
Tribune's figures ove the country, and
by those who read only Republican news
papers, those figures will probably be &C.
cepted as correct, but they are not. The
Tribune estimated Hancock's majority in
Texas at $1,000, but the official count
shows that his actual majority in that
State is l03, $50, which makes all the
difference.

THE leading newspapers OF the coun-
try give much prominence to the discus
sion Of delegate Cannon's case, n it Is
evident that whatever the opinion may
be as to Governor Murray in issuing a
certificate as delegate to Congress from
Utah to A. G. Campbell when George Y.
Cannon received an overwhelming ma
iority of votes at the November election
a telling blow has been struck at Nor
mon polygamy. Governor Murray's re-
fusal to renew delegate Cannon's certlh-
cate will hasten the action Of the govern
ment for the suppression of Mormon po-
lvgamy. The fact that Cannon has al
ready been admitted to Congress will
make it more easy to assail Governor
Murray for refusal to renew his certifi-
cate; but whatever the result OF his ap-
peal to the House Of Representatives,
which is by the Constitution the sole
judge Of the qualification Of its members,
the infamy Of Utah will be forced upon
public attention. Nor will the fact that
the certificate was withheld because Can
non is said to be an alien, as well as be-
cause he has violated the laws OF the
United States by practicing polygamy,
keep the foul system which he represents
from the full gaze Of Congress and the
people when ne urges his claim to a seat.
Governor Murray's actions will discom-
fit the Mormons, however unjust they
may regard his decision, and if delegate
Cannon forces his case upon the attention
of the House of Representatives, he will
concentrate upon the social disgrace of
Utah the attention of the whole Repub-
lie, and Congressman will be compelled
to ask themselves how long Mormons
shall be permitted to defy the laws of
the nation. Polygamous Cannon's case
is the touchstone which is revealing how
strong the sentiment of the people is
against Mormon ~polygamy, and the re-
suit may be to hasten the action of Con-
gress for the e~xtirpation Of the evil of
Utah.
