Some Startling Indications that
the Little Actress is Entan-
gIed with MIR. Huss.



WASHINGTON, July 800. Edwin
Huss may not be the lawfully welded
husband of Lolita Crabtree, but il he
is not he is the biggest crank in this
country, but there are many people in
this country who firmly believe that
Lolita is married to Huss, and some Of
them tell mighty big stories about it.
The other evening lady acquaintance
of HusS told friend of mine that she
had seen the most endearing, gushing
letters from Lolita to Huss.
They all began Dearest Edwin"
and we're signed Your Own Lolita, -
and it is singular that gu honorable
man would show any person love let
ters from his wife or sweetheart, but
in this case Huss perhaps forgot there
was anything dishonorable in it; and
then some men are so awful proud OF
sweet letters from the public tavorites
that they csu't resist the temptation
to prove that they stand in their good
graoes.
The same intimate but leaky Ia dy
friend Of Huss states that last week he
got draft from Lolita for $4,000, and
that the draft was Dashed at bank in
this city. The lady said Lolita sent
this money to Huss partly to use in
some business matters for her and
partly to defray his expenses to Europe,
Now all Of the above goes for what it
is worth. The following is still more
mysterious: Your correspondent was
at a private dinner party this evening,
and there met Mr.. 0. Edwin Hpss
lie Is trim built, slight formed
handsome young man, quite English
in his appearance, probably about
thirty three years Of age. de was
dressed In a neat and elegant style
easy in manners and quiet and genteel
in conversation. He does not look
like dude or a loud citizen in walk
or conversation. He is the gentleman
Mr.. Huss did not know [ was news,
paper man, my name simply beipl
given in the ipHoduptien, and the
conversation was free and unrestrained
during the dinner. lie was asked by
one of the party il he would get of TO-
night,
Yes he replied, u leave to night

The New York Herald has some
tisuely words on what 1t denominates
the %" reform humbug' which will
aptly apply everywhere, wherever the
country has been troubled with an
avalanche of idealist retormers. The
iia mediate cause for the scathing de-
nunciation Of the pretensions OF re-
formers was tne Republican primary
elections which We're held in New Yorl
City on Friday evening. The so-calle,
reform Republicans al along objected
to the stringent rules which made the
Republican party close corporation al
primary elections. There was no peace
in the party until these stringent rules
were abrogated and the primaries held
under more enlarged and liberal plan.
For the sake Of unity and harmony, the
old rules were smashed and new ones
adopted in accord and with the ideas
of the reform element of the party.
This done it was naturally expected
that the vote at the primary elections
on Friday evening would have been
materially increased. This however was
not done, the would-be-retormers no,
putting in an appearance and showing
no sign of remorse for the extraordinary
unanimity with which they remained
away from the polls.
They had Il chance to carry ont theil
plans on Friday but they did not ac-
cept the opportunity. The whole
trouble is, as the Herald says, that the
reformer generally in politicsas in re
ligion, is usually an idealist rathel
than man of action. Whether IRE
publican, Democrat, or Independent, he
seems to consider his duty done when
he has ended his fault finding.
To delay his supper half an hoIr
for the sake of casting single vote,
to leave his comfortable home, or fore
90 the pleasure of party, reception
or a play so that he may do his duty
asa citizen is generally beyond his
power. He regards himself asa leader.
rather than common workman, anu
he is quite willing to sapply ideas, but
he expects other men to do the voting.
The Herald warming up with the sub,
ject, further says
L" Eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty This truth was never more
pregnant than today but until those
who demand liberty are willing TO pay
in work instead Of talk, for what they
get. they can escape contempt only by
keeping their mouths shut. Tho ballot
box is the final arbiter of political
opinion hose who do not avail them
selves of its services are not of any
possible value to the body polite, no
matter if they speak with the tongues
Of angels"

Frank W,Ec"ve. Frank was ubiquitous
here and there and everywhere, taki".c-
a peep at this and that and everything.
Besides riding around with the parade,
he came back TO the Office and wrote
every word Of his report in time to is
sue the paper At the usual hour.
And wna' is better still, his repOr,
is generally credited with being fuller
and more accurate than other reports il
