The contest in the Massachusetts
legislature over the election of a United
States senator To succeed senator Hoar
is getting interesting. Two days have
been consumed in the balloting and
still there is no choice. On Wednesday
the two houses met in joint convention
and two ballots were taken with no
choice, when the convention adjourn
ed. The whole number of ballots was
276, necessary to Il choice l39. Hoar
had l3l, Bowerman 81, Long ~, Grape

has nearly enough votes for an cleo
ton, the opposition to him is a deter
mined one. and it looks doubtful about
his succeeding himself.

the Old South folks do not regard this
decision as a final one.

The prophetic man of the st. Louis
Globe Democrat is moved to predict
that "Senator Edmunds will he inaug-
uratcd president of the United States
at tfty-scven and will retire, in the
youth of his old age, at siXty-tive, after
having served his country and his par
ty for two quadreunial terms" Ordi-
narily Mr.. Edmunds would have as
bright a prospect of being president as
he would of being struck 10y lightning
but ii is hard telling how this reform
movement may result. If Edmunds
should Ice nominated it will be due to
his championship of civil service and
other reforms. But Vermont is Il small
state and has only four electoral votes,
and those papers that are now talking
him rs presidential candidate are not
helping along his prospects.

1t is said that the revenue from the
rents in the Ncwhall house amounted
to 10000 year, and yet only one
man was employed, who acted as por-
ter and Waterman, and who also had
to attend two trains and could not
watch the building. A building
of that size. lS0Xl60 feet, ought to have
had Waterman on each floor. To add
to the criminal negligence of the man
agemcnt and the city authorities, there
were only two fre-escapes in the

Governor Butler sent an order,
through his executive clerk, to have
the Boston Post, which has been sent
to the State house, discontinued. BY
many this is supposed to be the first
step in the economic policy of his ad-

will not stand in the way of this great
reform for - year, and consoles it
self 10y the thought that the governor
would he the last man in Massachu-

making the state pay for what is so
conicsscdly personal necessity, he

Considerable excitement has been
created at Camden, Me-, over the ap-
pointment of W. b. Rich as postmaster
at that place. 1t appears that there
were six other applicants for the office,
including the present incumbent, AL
den Miller, Jr., wounded soldier
The trouble with Miller is that he did
not pay Hubbell's assessment on his
salary of Sl4OO. An Indignation meet
ing was held at a public hall on Satur-
day evening, which was called to order
by one of the defeated candidates for
the office. The meeting was otficered

were adopted to the effect that the
appointment of Rich was a base and
unwarranted disregard of the expressed
wish of the people and it was in di-
rect opposition 20 the principles of
civil service reform. Senator Hale
says that the opposition to Rich pro-
ceeds entirely from the family of Mill

A Grave discussion Of Inc Proper
Female Posture I'm che saddle.

A Grave DiscussiOn Of the Proper
Female Posture I'm h saddle.
The above subject having created con-
siderable discussion in the English news
papers, the Lancet (London) now takes it
up and concludes that it would be as we'll
to leave the determination Of the question
to those whom it principally concerns.
We fancy they have no wish to change the
custom. As q matter Of fact, although it
may not appear to be the case, the writer
continues, the seat which q woman enjoys
on a si~de-saddle is fully as secure, and not
nearly As irksome, a. that which . man
has to maintain, unless he simply balances
himself and does not grippe the sides Of his
horse either with the knee or the side Of
the leg. 1t is curious to note the different
ways in which the legs Of men who pass
much time in the saddle are affected. Rid
ing with q straight leg and with . long stir
rup almost invariably produces wha
are popularly called knocked knees. Nearly
all the mounted soldiers OF the British
army suffer from this deformity, as any
who will take the trouble to notice the
men Of the Life Guards and Blues walking
may satisfy himself. On the other hand,
riding with short stirrups produces bowed
legs. Jockeys, grooms and most hunting
men who ride very frequently are more or
less bow-legged. The long stirrup rider
gripes his horse with his knee, while the
short stirrup rider gripes him. with the
inner side Of the leg below the knee. This
difference OF action explains the difference
OF result. No deformity necessarily fol-
lows the use Of the side saddle II the pre-
caution te taken with growing girls to
change sides on alternate days, riding on
the left side one day and on the right on
the next. The purpose Of this change is
to counteract the tendency to lean over to
the side opposite to that on which the leg
10 swung,

JUSTICE

a "PrOfessional" ArrAignment for
the Beating OF Big Mouth Annie.
Walter Phenix, the variety actor, fell
into . brawl Tuesday night, and was ar
raigned before Justice Harmon yesterday
on the charge Of assaulting and battering
Mise Big Mouth Annie. The case drew .
packed house. In fact, the audience ex-
tended way into the street. The interest
In the matter was Of that morbid kind
which lie always excited In . crowd when
the witnesses tell such stories as cannot
be heard without disgust anywhere. and
can be relished only In q Courthouse or
brothel. Probably the capabilities Of the
English language for the expression Of
human degradation and rot were never
more taxed than in this case which wal
tried yesterday. A publication Of any part
Of II this morning would so sicken the
persons Of refined feeling In this com
munity as to put breakfast among the
things that are impossible. The witnesses
were four or ave degraded women OF the
lowest dives In the town. Their testi-
mony made II quite clear that Phenix
was guilty OF the charge OF assault
and battery, though the jury could
not agree, for the reason that four
Of them thought the vile language used
upon him by the complaining witnssa,
Big Mouth Annie, was sufficient provooa-
ton for him TO beat her. A very animat-
Cd discussion Of the case took place In the
Justices room among the jurymsn after
the case had been turned over to them. A
crowd on the sidewalk looked In through
the window and glass door, and could
hear some expressions INDUCED in by GER
tain Jurors In the course Of their heated
argument. One juror made the remark:
IT don't give . d. for the Law and evil
dence; / go by common sense" This
juror il the perfection Of reason" He
WAS, Of course. one OF the four who were
for acquittal, the other eight being for
conviction. John T. Baker. Deputy Dis.

and benjamin Sanders volunteered bis
services for the defense. The case will BE-
