The Clean Newspaper.

There is growing feeling in healthy
communities against journals which
make it their special object TO minister tc
a perverted taste by seeking out and serv.
ing up in seductive form disgusting and
licentiOus revelations. There is good rea-
son to believe that the clean newspaper is
more highly priced to-day than il was
four or five years ago. 1t is also safe to
predict that, as people in all ranks OF
life who protect their own, at least. from
contamination, become more conscious of
the pernlciOus influence of a certain
class of journals, called enterpris.
ing because they are ambitious to serve
up dirty scandals, they will be careful TO
see that the Journals they permit TO he
read In the family circle are the class that
never forget the prOprieties of life. AL
ready men and women of refinement and
healthy morals have had their attentlen
called to the perniciOus influence of a bad
literature, and have made cOmmendable
efforts to cOunteract the same by causing
sound literature to be published and sold
at popular prices. These efforts are work.

CLEVELAND, May 1.-Amasa Stone
died by his own hand this evening. He
was the founder of Adelbert College. and
extensively interested in railway and iron
interests throughout the country. Mr..
Stone had suffered six weeks from insom-
MIA and Indigestion. He grew worse
steadily, and became depressed in spirits,
though he seldom complained. He often
obtained no more than two hours
sleep all night, and gradually became
possessed with the idea that he could
not recover. This, with losses of
late in the iron and steel business, and Il
multiplicity of financial cares, is believed
to have produced mental derangment. He
did not leave his bed this morning, hay
ing passed sleepless night. At noon he
complained of feeling exceedingly dis
tressed, and at about 2 O'Clock he was left
alone to obtain, if possible, a little
sleep. About o'clock his wife went to
ascertain how he was and found that he
was not in his room. She went to the bath
room, the door of which she found locked.
a servant climbed through the tranSOm
and discovered Mr.. Stone already dead. He
was partly dressed, and it is supposed that
he was bathing and was seized with a
sudden impulse and fired bullet through
his heart. His aim was accurate and
death must have been instantaneous. The
report of the revolver was not heard by
any one, Mr.. Stone leaves q wife and two

The Fair Family troubles.

HdShtHgbOW cor. bdtttDtOFe sun.
The suit brought by the wife of Senator
Fair, of Nevada, for divorce has been an
ticipated for some time past in society
circles here, as the incompatibility be-
tween the two has long been well known.
Scarcely any of the great silver kings of
the Pacific coast have been happy in their
marital relations since their rise to power
and prosperity, and with one or two eX-
ceptions since wealth has come to them
husband and wife have maintained sep
arate establishments. Senator Fair, since
his advent in Washington society two
years since, has OutshOne any and all
hosts i'll the luxury and splendor of his
entertainments. 1t was never his custom
to gather around him great mob of peo-
pie, after the manner of evening recep-
tiOns, but his pleasure was to bring
together at the dinner table small
and select companies, rarely exceed
ing twenty, where the elegance
and the art of the decorations and
all the surroundings the choice yiands
and the rare vintage no more than match
ed the beauty, the grace, the wit and the
intellect. But the head Of the table was
never occupied by Mrs. Fair. but by some
maid or matrOn radiant with beauty or
sparkling with repartee, If Mrs, Fair
was ever in Washington at all it was at
the longest intervals and for the shortest
periods, and she did not come in contact
with the fashionable acquaintances of
her husband. 1t is unfortunately the
case that many, very many of the self
made men who get into public life at the
Capital are prone to leave their wives be-
hind them, women who have been faithful
and true, who have shared their adyersity
without complaint, inspired them in
dark hours with words of cheer and hone
who have been helpmeets to them in
every sense of the word, but who, dwell
ing always at the hearthstone, have not
gotten over the hOmely manner and
speech inherent in them. These women.
plain though they be and upadorned with
artificial gTaees, have Ottentimes those
intrinsic qualities which makes up the
model wife, mother and friends, sadly de-
ticient in the butterflies of whose criti-
cisms their husbands are so sensitive.

CONKLING's REAL MEANING.
The True Inwardness of His Speech at
the Saturday Night Club Banquet.

The report of ex-senator COnkling's
speech at the meeting of the Saturday
Night Club, in New York last week, has
attracted much attention among the poll
ticians here. 1t is known that Mr.. COnk-
ling does not approve of President Ar
thurs administration, and his private
criticisms of the President have been of
the bitterest description. Last Saturday
nights dinner Mr.. COnkling, for the first
time, publicly gave his opinion of the
Presidents course, and ne did it in such
a way that none but the readers of Puck
could have been aware of his meaning.
PICK last week printed a cartoon of the
President trying to ride at the same time
in the Stalwart and Independent boats. He
seemed to be having much trouble to pre-
serve his balance. Mr.. Conkling, in speak
ing of General Grant, said: ''SOmething
said by him tonight will be ever assOcia-
ted with his name, as his name is forever
associated with the destiny of this people.
What was said of him and by him carried
me back to an occasion of which | was
present and on which he was not running
two boats, with one foot in one and one in
the other; but he had both his feet on one
and the same, and in this one all his en-
ergy and inclinations were embarked. 1t
was the occasion on which we met by fair
means to nominate General Grant for
President"
1t is believed here that Mr.. Conkling's
illusions to the position of the Republi-
can party during the past year in the
Northern States was an indirect fling at
the President. General Arthur's friends
so interpret it. They do not, however, ap-
pear to be in the slightest degree worried
by what Mr.. COnkling may say or think of
the administration,

PICKARD's WONDERFUL MILE
Murphy Takes Him Over the Slow and
Heavy Fleetwood Track in 2:I6 81.

A number of gentlemen who enjoy a
spring mornings drive and take an inter-
est In trOtting matters, assembled at the
grounds of the Gentlemen's Driving AssO-
citation yesterday morning, and were well
repaid for their trouble. Johnny Murphy
has been driving the pick of Mr.. Robert
BOnner's stable of trotters, Rarus. Edwin
Forrest, Pickard, Manetta, and others, for
the past few days, giving them their pre-
liminary exercise before taking them up
to Mr.. BOnner's farm, near TarrytOwn
After Murphy got through working some
of his trotters yesterday, he brought the
bay gelding Pickard on the track.
Johnny" said Mr.. Bonner, there ha s
been so much talk over Pickard's trOtting
mile a few days ago in 2:23, that if you
will drive him in 2:23 now Ill make you
present of $40.
'All right" said Murphy, and jumpeed
into his sulky. He brought Pickard up,
trOtting well and steadily, and got the
word. Pickard got safely around the turn
by the cooling sheds, and sped down the
side at gradually accelerated gait,
reaching the quarter in SO seconds. He
was now fairly flying. Down the back
stretch he increased his terrific gait until
he flashed by the halt-mile pole in l :052.
He continued his wonderful speed from
the Point of Rocks up the hill. The last
quarter was before him, and he came tear
ing under the wire in Piggy, and that after
two bad breaks. His feat was scheered
heartily. Mr.. Bonner called Mmphy to
one side. 81 guess Mr.. Bonner doubled
that tenner,' said Mr.. T. j. COe when
Murphy came back.
''Why, yes," said Murphy. "IIe told
me to hold out both hands, and then began
to count out money into them until / got
scared, and told him l was satisfied, and
that didn't want the Ledger office. He
said that if | was satisfied he was.''
t'PVe seen a great deal of trOtting,''
said Col. j. j. Mooney, ''but Pickard's
speed in the circumstances, at this early
part of the season, when we have only
had five or six days for the horses TO work
on the track, and the frost is hardly out
of the ground, takes me by surprise"
''I'll bet $5,000," said a bystander, ''that
Pickard later in the season, with every
thing favorable, can trOt in 2:14 or bet

Mr.. Alfred De CordOva sent his brown
mare over the track to road wagon a

proved by his government, but that Gen.
FuerO has instructions to take the field
IN charge of troops stationed in Chi

Crook in grand Apache round

forces being drawn around the savages
1t Will, he says, be impossible for them to
break through. Col. linda believes that
this blow struck at this time will end in
the utter annihilatiOn of the raiding Apa-
ches. The soldiers of the sister republic
are anxious to be led against the enemy,
and under Gen. FuerO, who has the
name of being an Indian fighter, they
nope to do good work. The
fact of General Crook beng in Old Mexico
is not regarded by the Mexican Govern
ment as in violation of the treaty between
the two countries, his movements having
previously been arranged by the authori-
ties of both countries. Upon General
Crooks arrival at Sierra Madre the Next

Joseph with his tribe left his

vicinity of upper Columbia, he alleging
that miners and settlers have sQuatted

disputed possession. He has applied to

sion to visit Washington and ''fiX the

his request is denied. Secretary Teller
has decided thathe has no funds at his

tary Lincoln, who, in turn. is not over
eager TO charge the War Department with

suits will Justify it.
