some New Questions Put 10 Voters, and
Why They Are Asked.

From the N. Y. Sum-
Complaints have been made Of the inquisitive-
ness OF the United States supervisors at the
places OF registry in Brooklyn this year. more
questions being asked than ever before. A
voter, after answering all the questions put as
to his name, his place Of residence, age. length
OF residence in the state, county, ward and dis
trct Is asked whether he voted in the elections
OF 1876, 1878 and 1880, hov long he has resided
where he lives at present, and, if in tenement
upon what floor he lives. This is a sort of GOV
ernmental espionage which many persons object
to, and the inquistiveness has proved offensive
to many persons. 1t Is reported that some have
fiatly refused to answer the questions.
United States Supervisor of Elections Allen
said yesterday that he had added the questions
TO the usual list with view to lessening the
work OF the verifcation of the registry lists
such as Is required by law. He had instructed
the supervisors to make themselves familiar
with their districts, and had told them that If
they knew them as they should they would not
have to ask the questions of all the voters. If
voter says that he voted at the elections in
1876, 1878 and $780, and showed that he had for
some years resided in one locality the super
vlsors would be able to check off his name then
as correct as 1t was evident that he did not in
tend TO cheat the registry. When the voter re-
SIDED In tenement it was desirable to obtain
the exact location, so that when supervisor
visited the house to verify the enrolment, he
could at once go to the part of the house desig-
mated, thus saving his time and the annoyance
OF other tenants by inquiries.
II do not want to make the law offensive"
added Mr.. Allen, land l shall therefore renew
my instructions to the supervisors to use some
Judgment and discrimination in addressing the
questions to voters. If there is objection to
the questions, will have to put inore work
upon those who have to verify the lists. The
questions are not asked for any information as
to the private affairs Of citizens. but merely to
facilitate the verifying of the lists"

HARDENED SINNERS KEPT AT
ROME.
Consul EIasOn,s Course.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Capt Frank III. Mason our consul at Basic
Switzerland, is the first of American eonsuis to
take any active steps in preventing the expOrta-
tion of criminals to the United States. Through
his agency large number of hardened sinners
ticKeted for this country have been set to work
In their own country instead of being sent over
here to add their help to our growing calendar
OF crimes. Switzerland doesn't mean to be saucy
In sending her sinners to us. She regards the
United States as a sort of universal washing-ma-
chine purifier for all nations and neglects to con-
slider the fact that we are nation with national
life to foster and to keep free from external
sources OF corruption whenever we know it,
Captain Mason realized the fact that senti-
mentaliZing and dillydallying wouldn't do in
this matter. and he went actively to work with
the Swiss government and succeeded I'm con-
yincug them that his country can't and won't
receive their galley Outcasts. Captain MasOn's
recent consular report in regard to American
trade In Switzerland is practical and to the
point. He speaks of the uselessness of sending
English advertisements among people who
speak only French or German, for North
Switzerland is German and South SwItzer-
land Is French a certain Wisconsin rail-
way company sent man to Europe cap
able Of telling people I'm their own lam
guage OF the resources OF that state. He adj
vertised Wisconsin in their own language and
In consequence that state received last year
fOrty-One thousand of the very best immigrants
who landed in this country, and her proportion
Of this years contingent will be still greater
The consul recommends the plan of cOmbina-
ton OF several American manufacturers or ex-
pOrters of different classes of merchandise of
popular uses to establish depOts or agencies in
the principal cities TO exhibit. recommend and
supply their wares. American improvements in
small articles of hardware and food products of
various sorts are most in demand. In the ma
ture of the case. the extension of American
trade In an old and conservative country like
switzerland must be In opposition to strong
local competition and more or less prejudice, but
there is no reason why persistent aud intelligent
efforts even in this well-worn field should not
prove successful and profitable.

1925 Feet Above the Sea

Correspondence of the New York Tribune
In scenery the line from Pueblo to Salt Lake
City will present some wonderful attractions
From Pueblo you cross the mesa to CANYON
City. with its penitentiary and hot springs from
which is the unfortunate railroad branch to
tine mining towns of Silver Cliff and Rosta
Three times has this branch suffered from
washOuts, necesstating two repairs at cost
of s25O.OOO and 100000 respectively. but after
the third washOut. which occurred only fort
night since, the railway company decided to
give up the struggle, and the branch will prob
ably be abandoned. From Canyon City in an
open observation car you pass through the ma
jestic Royal Gorge, or Grand Canyon of the Ar
kansas, with its awful rock mountains leaning
over you on either side. Then from Salida you
cross the Marshal Pass, and this is q journey not
to be easily forgotten. The track twists back
ward and forward along the TANKS of the noun
tains with grade of 2l0 feet in the mile The
train climbs up one side of valley. circles
around its head in horseshoe curve, while from
the rear car you salute the conductor in the
baggage car, and climbs on again up
the other side of the valley in reverse drec-
tlOn- A four per cent grade, that is
vertical rise of four feet in every hundred feet
means very rapid climbing for railway train,
and this you realize as you look down the steep
sides of a gorge and see just below three lines
of track at different attitudes over which the
train has just passed. When the two painting
engines have slowly dragged the train to the
heavily timbered, tunnel-like snow-sheds at the
summit of the pass you are TO- 725 feet above
the sea. not very far from twice the height of
Mount Washington, and only little way above
you see the end of the timber line clearly de-
fined on the barren side Of Mount Ouray.
Then the second engine is sent ahead
as pilot, and the train, which is
equipped with automatic brakes, starts
down with just enough steam On to keep the
brakes from off the wheels. 1t is an easy mat
ter TO walk down to the water tank q mile be-
low and reach it fifteen minutes before the train,
where you can mediate on the fact that you
have just travelled over one of the highest points
in the world reached by a railway. In the de-
scent, the tOrtuOus course of the track and the
slow movement give an opportunity for glorious
views Ofpine-clad canyons, stretching down di-
rectly beneath your windows, of barren gOrges,
frowning mountain peaks and as you descend
still lower there are glimpses of smiling valleys
framed between the ranges of the hills. Then
comes a stretch of plain and Gunnison, and then
the extension which described.

LIFE EN- LONDON.
The Pleasure Resorts Of the Rich-The
Companions of the Prince Of Wales.

LONDON, Sept. 9.-LondOn is once more
assuming its ordinary garb, SO far as crowded
streets and busy pedestrians are concerned.
The brief holiday which the middle-class English
men take in August has this year been pro-
ductive of little pleasure to the majority of them.
dull, damp August, varied by couple of fierce
gales, is not exactly the weather for seaside
resorts, such as Brighton, Hastings or Margate.
Consequently business people are hurrying
back earlier than usual this year, which. Of
Course, is all for the best, so far as London itself
is concerned. AS yet. however. there is no
sign of the return Of the upper ten
thousand" They can scarcely be looked for
much before the end of October, 10y which time
foX-hunting will have fairly commenced, and
the best of the grouse and partridge shooting
will have ended. Society has this year been
somewhat erratic in it's choice of fashionable re-
sorts The season in Ireland, with the eXcep-
ton OF one or two places. has been a miserable
one, which is certainly not to he wondered at.
The arrival OF the young SONS of the Prince of
wales made COwcs and SOuthsca for some ten
DAYS the rendezvous of all that was brilliant and
beautiful in the yachting world. And now the
residence of the prince himself at Homburg has
drawn away the best people from their usual
haunts. hear the Prince Of Walesis constantly
mObbed by crowds ofhis own ill-bred countrymcn.
He is surrounded by small Marlborough
House" set which he brought with him from
London. At Homburg he also spends much
OF his day with the American set, among
whom a lady named Miss Chamberlain is the
reigning beauty. She has taken the .lace occu-
pied few years ago hy Miss Stevens. now Mrs.
Paget. as the exponent Of American charms to
English eyes. But it is not all amusement with

OF Wales meanwhile is at Wiesbaden with her
children and the royal families of Denmark and
Greece. If the English people were not SO at
tached to her and SO accustomed to the princes
peculiar fobes it is certain that there would be
some severe remarks about his prcfcrring the

A. II. Stewards BOnes Never Re
covered.

Correspondence of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Talking to a New York detective officer to-
day, asked him what had become of the body
OF A. T. Stewart.
''The best information possess" said he, sis
that 1t has not only never been recovered by the
family an executors, but that it is not now in
possession of the original thieves"
"Well, who got it from them?" said I.
ut is the understanding at police headquar-
tiers" said he, ''that second band of thieves.
thnki ing the body was good thing, stole it
from the first. Probably some of the persons
privy to the robbery took the body away from
those who had been ut the pains to dig it up
and spirit 1t off," ~
''Well. how was Mrs. Stewart appeased?"
why" said the officer. 81 suppose that she
thinks that the bones have been recovered.
She either thinks they have been recovered OF
does not inquire concerning them. The fact is "
said my friend, ''that after the robbery of that
grave, it became question among numerous
wealthy persons in New York what to do to
prevent spoliatiOn Of other tombs Of the same
class. You know that Immediately after the
robbery in st. Marks churchyard the tomb OF
the Yanderbilts at Staten Island. was watched,
and so were several other tOmbs Of conspicuous
persons. They all got tired of paying special
watchmen, because 1t looked as II they might
have to watch the tomb for period Of years
and every rich man that died would require
two live ones to look after his bones-a thing
not very palatable to heirs. Consequently 6
notice was sent to Judge Hilton that he ought
not TO pay any reward for the return of Stewards
bones whether Mrs. Stewart wanted to do 80 OF
not The understanding Is that Judge Hilton and
other gentlemen pacifed Mrs. Stewart In some
| way: You know the coffin Of Stewart was moi
carried of by the thieves at all; they merely
took the plate from the top and piece Of Tho
cloth, and took out the body, so we presume
that the coffin has been set in the new Cathe-
dral at Garden City, without the real bones, but
nobody wanted to look into 1t.
