BENEVOLENT MR. wIxHAM.

At meeting of the Ladies' Benev
client Society, it was resolved that .
Committee of four ladies be appointed
to canvass for donations, and in the
course of their perigrinations this
committee dropped into MIR. Wix-
hams Office. He received them as a
gentleman should, and, after the
usual formalities, one of them began
"Mr Wixham, we are asking aid
for benevolent purposes"
"Ah! yes. BeHevolence is a bump
which should be cultivated. Are you
looking after poor folks|
ave are"
"Very proper-very proper. You
all have children of your own?"
"Oh, yes" ;,
"All of them are we'll fed, well
clothed and we'll cared for, are theyY
"Yes, sir"
"That's very proper. 1 presume
their stockings are properly darned
buttons in their places, and they say
their prayers when they go to bed
Am I correct? =, :.
The women looked at each other IL
sly way and then at him, and one oil
them said:
"We shall be happy for any con
tribution." =,
'Yes'm, yes'm. You don't want
this contribution for your own faml'
lies, ehr
"No, STRIP answered four voices in
chorus.
"Well, am somewhat inclined te
benevolence. Hardly day passes
that 1 don't do something for charity
Here an old account of $26 against
Mr.. -. I know he's hard up AND
having a close time to get along, and
yesterday I Cancelled the debt"
One of the canvassers turned red,
white and blue and looked out OF the
window. That was her husband, but
Wixham didn't know it.
"And yesterday I found a poor, for
lorn- looking little boy out here cry
ing with hunger and cold. He said
his name was Tommy -, and he
lived at No. SO - street. He hadn't
been washed or combed for week
and / felt sad for him. / was going
to take him home and feed him. but
he slipped away"
Another woman suddenly looked
out of the window, and her pulse ran
to 100 q minute, but Wixham was as
innocent as lamb of any knowledge
that it was her boy.
"Then you won't aid us?" queired
the spokesman.
"Oh, yes, certainly / will. I was
simply figuring to see how much
could spare. / signed a note with
Mr.. - last fall, and I had to pay il
yesterday. That makes me fee
rather poor"
The third woman didn't turn red
but green, but Wixham couldn't
have known that it was her husband
"Let's see, let's see! / want te
give you all I can spare. MIR. -, or
= street, owes me four months
house rent, and I'll give you an order
on him for $40.
The four women rose up. They
rushed in a solid body for the door
They went out in heap. Some
were red and some were pale, and al
were mad. They tried to speak, but
they couldn't, and as they FASTENED
to get away from each other Wixham
held up the half-writen order and
gasped:
allow very singular! Perhaps
they thought they couldn't collect the
money"

BOSS M1HONE MUST On.

The signs of the times furnish a reason
able expectation that Mahoneism is in the
final throes of dissolution. This desirable
consummation is probable on account of
hostility that exists betwe en- Malone and
Riddleberger. When the latter was elect
ed to the United States senate he made a
demand upon Malone for an even d1vi-
sion of the patronage between them. Ma
hone declined to yield up any portion of
the spoils to his colleague. Riddleberger
then made appeals to the heads of depart
ments at Washington, and he complained
bitterly of his position. He had secured
his election by means of intrigues, bar
gains and promises, by discounting the
futures of patronage, but he could get
nothing and his promises to pay were in
continently dishonored. The depart
ments coldly referred him to Mr.. Malone,
and that autocrat of the spoils system in
turn referred him to the town-pump. Mr..
Riddleberger became angry in the super
lative degree, and swore a large strong
oath that he would have his revenge. He

CA1oAGo, Sept 24.-"Yes sir, the Demo
Gratis in Iowa seem to come out pretty
squarely for free trade on the tariff ques
tion," said the Hon. David A. Wells, to a
reporter to. day at the Grand Pacific hotel."l
don't know whether the Democrats in Ohio
are making the tariff for revenue the only
issue important during the present cam
paign or not. understand they are. OF
course believe it to be the most impor-
tant issue before the country, politically
speaking, but don't really have much con-
fdence in the professions of the Demo,
cratic party on the subject. doubt very
much that they will come out andlface the
issue honestly during the next presidential
campaign"
evil the tariff issue be the great issue
of the next presidential campaign?'
'It is impossible to assert that at this
time, but it is highly probable it Will. The
high tariff has been the chief, if not the
sole cause of the business stagnation OF
the past few months, and in
fact of all our past financial troubles.
Markets have been closed to our produc-
ers and manufacturers, which should have
been the most available, simply by a high
rate of tariff. The cut-throat competi-
ton which this taxing of the consumers OF
the land has engendered among all
branches of trade and speculation, togeth-
or with the immense tide of foreign i'm,
migration to our shores, and the annual in.
crease of our present. population, must
result in the eventual overthrow of oul
present high rates of tariff. 1t is an evil

throw it off sooner or later beyond the
shadow of a doubt. This matter may be
settled next year, or it May be later. II

"Do you think that the coming GU!

SIT may, but we can't tell much about
that yet. The Republican party usually

Gardner as Karl.

The dress circle and gallery of tn
Opera house were densely packed las
night, while the parquette and circle wer
fairly filled, to witness the comedy o
''Karl," as presented by the Chas. A. Gard
ner company. Judging from the enthus
iastic reception accorded the play by tn
audience it is the most popular affair pre-
scented at the Opera house so far the pres
ant season.
As matter of fact the drama, if such i
may be called, is about as absurd and OK
travagant as anything that has ever helt
the boards in this city, but at the sam,
time it affords scope for the specially actl
of several bright and versatile performers
and this constitutes the success of the
play.
The plot, for there is something like g
plot running through the performance
introduces Mr.. Gardner as Karl Stein, q
young German who comes to America to
look up his relatives; he finds that a
younger brother has inherited rich es-
tate by the death of his mother, and that
a wicked uncle, Peter Stein, the villain of
the play, has formed conspiracy to get
rid of the boy, a la Charley Ross, in order
to rob him of his inheritance.
Karl dawns on the scene in time to over
hear the plot to do away with his brother,
and at the proper juncture he gives the
snap away. There are any number of
startling situations, arranged admirably
for the star, who gets in his lace
work in manner that makes
the gods scream with delight.
The speciality business is very clever, in
PRODUCING Mr.. Gardner in a number of
taking songs, and affording fine oppor-
tunity for the vocal performances of Patti
Rosa, bright and pretty soubrette with a
bewitching brogue, and several good
songs with the vocal ability
to bring down the house.
There are several other good specially
actors in with the company, the Italian di-
alect business by Mr.. Dunno, the gypsy,
being especially good. Miss Darragh
was graceful as Katie Stein, and Mr.. Caine
made an acceptably queer and dizzy law
yer. The funny business was not too fun
ny, but just tart enough not to queer it.

CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-The Louisville,
New Albany & Chicago railroad had things
al! its own way during the day in selling
tickets at The rate of 81 to Indianapolis
and at local rates from indianapolis to
points beyond, which, of course, made the
cut to Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus and
other points. Late tonight, however, the
Pan Handle and Kankakee lines decided
to meet the cut and will begin selling at
the same rate tomorrow morning.
The Kankakee line has not
heretofore taken part in the war, bat as it
was noticeably affected by the cut when
extended to Indianapolis, Cincinnati, and
other points, the Kankakee line was forced
into the fight and now promises to meet
any cut made by any body. The Cincin-
natl and indianapolis cuts have also forced
the Chicago Il Eastern Illinois road into
the row, and judging by its first move it
promises to be quite marked factor in
the problem. It announces tonight that

in Minneapolis. This is natural, Of
course, as more people are born in large
places than small ones. The Minneapolis;

In Minneapolis no effort has been made to Sc
cure complete record of births. The mid
wives and doctors have been left to report or not
at their own sweet will, and the result is that
hundreds of births have not been recorded.
There are very good reasons why they

Derere'!S Idea,

New YORK, Sept. 24.-The senate SUBJ
committee on labor and education today
examined Thomas Il. Devere, who has
written great deal on the land question.
The government, he said, owned an unlim-
ted quantity of land in the west. Some
of the money annually spent in educating
young men for the army and navy could
be expended in surveying some of these
vast tracts, creating townships and divid-
ing them into farms, which could be placed
at disposal of any emigrants who wishe d
to settle on them.
