How DIR. IIenkle Runs n News.

Baltimore Herald. -.
Quite sensation was caused in local po-
litical circles yesterday by the discovery
that number of officials appointed by Gov
crnor Hamilton had been approached by
demands for two per cent. of their annual
salaries The demands are said to have
been made within few days, and either
by DIR. Eli. Henkle, or ostensibly in his
interest, the declaration having been made
that the money is to be used in supporting
small campaign paper that is published
by DIR. Henkle, against the Democratic
leaders and nominees. 1t is the prevalent
opinion that these demands for political
blackmail have not been authorized by his
excellency, the governor. If they were,
and DIR. Henkle was empowered, in the
governors name, to demand from all in
spectors, magistrates, and other officials, ap-
pointed and liable to removal by Governor
Hamilton, two per cent. of their annual
salaries to raise fund to be used by DIR.
Henklc in his.paper speculation, then men
of all parties will condemn the action of the
governor, but Governor Hamilton's friends
denounce the levy as an unauthorized
dodge of DIR. Henkle. 1t is the prevalent
opinion of the public that his excellency,
the governor, has authorized no demands
for political blackmail. DR.. Henkle has n
perfect right to solicit donations, but he has
no right to call for two per cent. levy.
His demanding from number of officials
forty dollars apiece as two per cent. on their
salaries is not creditable. If done against
their Wishes or direction ofGovernor Ham.
iltOn, it is to be hoped that he will investi.
gate that also while holding court in the
city hall. 1t is matter that touches his
honor

Drowned i'm Rock Creek.

The body of white man named John
Tierney, Az years old, was found in Rock
Creek this morning at the foot of Twenty
sixth and o streets northwest. A boatman
named John Lewis accidentally discovered
the body, and Immediately went to the
Fourth Precinct station-house and informed
Officers Cunningham and Collins, who re-
paired to the scene and had the body car
ried to the station-house. Tierney was a
married man and leaves wife and four
children.
The deceased left his home yesterday af-
ternoon, telling his wife that he was going
out to collect some money He got
on spree during the evening, and about 9
o'clock was seen going in the direction OF
his home on Twenty-second street, and il
is supposed he lost his bearings and walked
into the creek. The water at the spot
where he walked in is only four and a.hal
feet deep. The body of the deceased was
taken in charge by Undertaken Gawler
DR.. Hartigan, acting coroner, viewed thu

Riding Two political Horses.

There is one distinguished Republican in
Virginia who is evidently trying to ride two
horses-pOlitical horses We mean-at the
same time. The Hon. w. L. Fernald, col
lector of internal revenue for the Danyille
(Va.) district has always been regarded by
his Republican friends as vacillating and
wavering brother. The Richmond Wing,
the organ of the Readjusters, proclaimed.
with loud trumpets, that Mr.. Fernald was
unqualifiedly in favorof the coalition move
ment in Virginia. The Wing, in Il long edi-
torial, congratulates the Readjusters that a
man possessed of so much influence in the
Republican party had embraced the good
cause of Readjusterism. Several weeks have
passed since this announcement was made
and the Hon. Fernald has never denied the
story. Now the honorable gentleman comes
to the front, and writes a letter to Repub'
lican friend in the Old Dominion, in which
he denies the report that he had expressed
himself to any one in favor of coalition, and
did not intend to do so until after the actior
of the Republican convention. This has
made the Readjusters awful mad, and some
of them swear that even should the Repub
lican convention decide to cOalesce witt
them, they will never consent to take Mr.
Fernald in full fellowship into the party.

WYMAN, THE WIZARD.
Death OF the Famous magicia,

The announcement of the death of Prof
John Wyman, the veteran ventriloquist and
magician, will be learned with regret in
every section of the country, and particu-
larly in Washington, where he enjoyed un-
restricted popularity "Wyman, the
Wizard" as he was familiarly known, may
be associated with the pleasantcst days of
the childhood of even our oldest citizens,
who have regularly attended his perform
ances here as they grew cider, and would
enjoy just as much the mysteries of his art,
though 1t was no longer mystery to them.
He was for time u resident of this
city, living at house on Sixth
street. Prof. Wyman died Sunday af-
ternoon at Burlington, New jersey. He
was born in Albany, New York, in 1916, and
began his career rs magician at very
early age. In his prime he ranked with
Anderson, the Wizard of the North; the
elder Hermann, Robert Heller and Signor
Blitz. Exceedingly clever in his delusions
and a good conversationalist, Wyman
travelled all over the country for many
years, finally retiring from public life with
competence He was famous fol
best specalties were executed without
any other apparatus than his ten fingers
When but child he possessed the peculiar
faculty of throwing his voice." and as hi
grew older became more and more prof
cient, until he excelled in the art Of ventril
oquism. He used to frequently visit Tho
markets about the city and other crowded
places and amuse himself and his friends
with his entertaining art. In 1886, unde
the management of Charles d. Selding
| Wyman made his debut at the Balti
more Museum. From Baltimore he wen
to New York, and ran n very successful
career under the auspices Of Mr.. p. T. Bar
mum, at the latter's famous museum in tina
city. Subsequently he made many tour
throughout the South, performing eacl
season to large audiences in all the principa
cities and towns in the Southern Atlanti
States. His last engagement in Washing
ton was at Odd-Fellows' Hall last winter
and last fall he gave u tent show at tn
National Fair grounds.

KINDS IN OFFICE,
A Notorious Man Appointed an In
spcctOr IN tho II. q. ID. tf

'P.N'vN ~ ---S = - .
National Republican.
Jerome j. Kinds was yesterday appointed
q special agent of the Po5t-ofiice, or, as they
are termed under the reformed organiza-
ton, a Post office inspector. Mr.. Kinds is Sc
lccted evidently for the same reasons that rem
dered the appointment of Mr.. A. M. Gibson
desirable. The records Of the Post-office
Department contain bit Of history cover
ing Mr.. Kinds former connection with that
branch of the public service. 1t will be
remembered that when Hon. Marshall
Jewell was appointed Postmaster-General,
almost his first official act was to cause a
criminal prosecution to be brought against
Mr.. Kinds, and it has been intimated by q
few uncharitable individuals that on that
occasion Mr.. Kinds only escaped conviction
| by mere tcchnicality. What Mr.. Kinds
knows about fraudulent practices in con,
nectiou with Star-routes is doubtless gath
cred from his personal experiences in the
matter of bribing clerks in the Post office
Department to purloin and open bids for his
information. His selection for position
the duties of which involve the inyestiga
ton of the affairs of the post-offices through
out the country, is in perfect harmony will
the other acts of the Postmaster-Gcnerali IL
reforming his Department.

:. The Thundcrcr ;, ON Drinking.

The London Times thus speaks in recent
issue: Drinking battles us, coDfounds us,
shames us and mocks us at every point. 1t
outwits alike the teacher, the man of bust
ness the patriot and the legislator Every
other institution founders in hopeless diff
ficulties the public house holds its trium-
plant course. The administrators of pub
lie and private charity are told that aims
and oblations go, with rates, doles, and PEN
sions, to the all-absorbing bar Of the public
house. Not year passes in either town or
village without some unexpected and hid
eous scandal, the outcome Of habitual in
diligence, often small and innocent in its
origin. Some poor creature, long and de-
servedly high in the respect perhaps rev.
ercnce-Of the neighborhood makes sud
den shipwreck of character. Under the
accumulated influence of alcohols aggra-
waited, perhaps, by other still more power
full, still more treacherous, the honest man
turns knave, the respectable man suddenly
loses principle and self-respcct, the wise
man is utterly foolish, the rigidly moral
man forgets his mask and his code and
takes plunge into libertinism. 1t then
turns out, what possibly some have
suspected, that drink is at the bottom of it
and that some poor wife or other friend has
long been doing the best that could done tt
check, to cure and at all events to hide till
the truth would be out. Do something
toward staying the hugh mischief which in
one way or another confounds us all, ant
may, for we cannot be sure-crush and ruiz
| any one of us. "

Judge II. ii. Blackburn and Col. Joseph

Washington, are making every effort in con-
junction with the merchants of Washington

in the shape of carnival, procession, ana
illumination here in honor of the Presi.
dents recovery. 1t will be held
about the time of the Yorktown Cen
tcnnial and rs it has been arranged with
all of the steamboat and railroad companies
transporting visitors to Yorktown that the
ticket shall be good as far as Washington, an
immense concourse of visitors will assemble
here, there being nothing in or about York
town of interest to detain them there after
the ceremony.
The only cost that our people and mer-
chants will be neccssitated to incur will be
that of illumination, and by the process OF
electric light that will be but trifling. The
National Committee is amply provided
with funds for other expenses. The Ma
sonic, military, boat-clubs and all other as
sociations in the District are expected to
participate, as well as Baltimore socic
