the fact that Cleveland is a bachelor,

A writer in the Pittsburgh Post
presents a series of excellent reasons
for nominating Mr.. Samuel J. Randall
as the Democratic candidate for the
Presidency: "I
because he is a tried man, and not an expert
ment. He was a Democrat in the days when it
tried mems souls to be Democrats, and was always
true and unfiinching, never once faltering in his
fidelity to the old party when her ranks were
broken and the banner trampled In the dust Has
the Democratic party no gratitude
"Because he Is an honest man and In these
days OF fraud and dishonesty on the part OF public
men, good old-fashioned honesty is the grand req
uisite OF all. For Upwards OF twenty years Samuel
j. Randall has been In public life, and while hun
dreds OF his fellows have fallen scathed and black
ened by fraud and dishonesty, his worst enemy
has not charged anything upon him OF dishonor-
able character. 1t Is noble thing to be said OF
man when 1t can be truthfully said.
because he can carry Pennsylvania against
Blaine, This is apparent to all who look beneath
the surface. Ask the Republicans who are not
willing to vote for Blaine, and nine out OF every
ten Will say, we prefer Randall, because we be-
iieve him TO be both capable and honest
Because he occupies the only safe ground on
the question OF tariff. We want man who has
conservative views on that question. Every think
ing man knows that any change in our import du-
ties would cause financial wreck In this country.
Mr.. Randall by his conservative course saved US
from this, Besides the Democratic ic party Just now
have more pressing Issue to meet, that is the
question whether this country is to be any longer
under the control OF thieves. Let them address
themselves to that question at Chicago, the tarin

A Japanese Funeral.
cincinnati ENQUIRER

The first indication of the death of q
Japanese is by the turning bottom up of
all movable things in the house and by
the turning inside out of oil his clothes.
A priest arrives on the scene and prays,
while friends of the deceased attend to
the details of grave-digging, etc., while
one friend in robes of ceremony stands
at the door to receive visits of condo
lence from all corners. When the corpse
is washed it is clad in white shroud
and placed in sitting posture in one of
the peculiar collins of the country, on
which is painted his free pass to heaven.
The procession then forms, headed by
torch bearers, and moves to the inclosure
of a temple, where grave has been
dug big enough for two, if the deceased
be married, and, after q lot of clap-trap,
is lowered to its final resting place. A
mournful dirge is then executed on what
looks like copper wash bowls, and every
one goes home to pray for the soul of tlie
deDarted

Keeping a secret.

Secrets are often valuable In Wash
ington. When the ways and means
committee decided to increase the tax
ON whisky to 80 gallon number OF
fortunes are said to have been made
within small circle of men. In the
dark days of "a treasury clerk kept
for twenty-four hours secret known
only to President Lincoln and Secre-
tary Chase besides himself. When it
became officially known it sent gold
flying up, and the country was in dis
may. It was a secret, too, that could
have been passed on without harning
the Union cause. twas simply aques-
ton of keeping faith till the time came.
An hour after the news broke the clerk
fairly staggered under terrific slap
on his shoulder. He heard and saw q
banker whom he knew we'll. "You
miserable foolw cried the banker.
I'D have given you 800, 900 to have
known this twenty-four hours ago"
And the banker could have well
afforded to do it. But the clerk had
the satisfaction of knowing that he had
done his duty, as many another govern
ment officers has done under circum-
stances of temptation.

Anecd6se " slias Wright.


Silas Wright before he became in
temperate, was great wag. On one
occasion he was member of the state
senate of New York with Gen. Erastus
Root. Gen. Root was fold of personal
display in his dress, One morning he
came to the senate with buff brooches,
white silk stockings, knee and shoe
buckles. Gov. Wright bet bottle of
wine that he could make the general go
home and take of the breaches, and put
on plain pantaloons without speaking to
him on the subject. 1t seemed to be a
very feayful risk-but to the sequel.
The governor stepped up to the general,
and taking him kindly by the hand,
said: "Good morning, general" then,
turning his eyes upon the buff breeches,
and looking them over for minute.
"How do you do ?" then, re-examing the
breeches with q quizz;cal look, paying
no attention to what the governor said,
but continuing his remark, now word,
then look at the breaches. The gen.
eral at length left abruptly, was absent
some minutes, and returned dressed in
plain pair of black pantaloons. The
wine was drunk with hearty laugh, in
which the general joined.

DANGER ON THE STAGE.
The "Dull Thud- Which Killed
Johnny Gallagher, OF the LOrellas.

Danger is always o popular element
of the show business. The trapeze has
been rendered nearly valueless in this
city by the enforcement of the law for
a netting underneath it. New forms of
the peril have therefore been devised to
meet the demand. On the same stage
with the sword swallower was an athlete
who evaded the statute and imperiled
his neck by backward somersaults from
tables, which were placed one on an
other until height of twenty-five feet
was reached. From that unsubstantial
platform he bent back and dropped,
striking with his hands hard on the
protruding top of the lower table, and
thereby completing turn of the body
and finally striking on his feet. The
performance was utterly devoid Of
grace, difficulty or any other attractive
ness except the possibility that the
man would be killed. l found, how
ever. that he was far from reckless.
eff l should miss the bottom table
with my hands," said he, my head
would strike when my feet ought to,
and it would be all up with me-"
"Do you expect to miss it?"
"Well, 1 wouldn't be surprised to
any time, but of course l don't mean to-
And can't help feeling little shaky
since Johnny Gallagher died. Do you
remember the Lorellas? Well, Johnny
was the little one"
did recall the Lorenas, for had
seen their performance only few weeks
before. Probably you have seen them
the two long, slim fellows, dressed in
black tights, with their high kicking
and grotesque contortions, and the
smaller third, in the guise of girl,
whom they threw about, doubled up,
and in various other ways surprisingly
treated. Do you recollect how, in the
midst of their preliminary dance, when
the boy was so cleverly initiating
the coyness and gentility of a
maiden, they lifted him high by the
arms and let him drop with tremen-
dous chug in a sitting posture? His
expression of mingled amazement, re-
sentiment and physical inconvenience
was very funny. Nothing in the wide
world is more laughable than woman
taking q seat on chair that unexpect-
edly isn't there. This was q successful
dramatizat on of that realistic idea. 1t
made Audiences laugh so immoderately
for yeai that the Lorellas never omit
ted it, and Johnny Gallagher was pros
porous with his dull thud until it finally
killed him! Imagine yourself dropped
four feet to bare floor, square and
hard, and you will understand the con-
cussion that your spine would sustain.
There's brain at the top of every back
bone, even that of a grotesque dancer,
and there came drop for young Gal
lagher which proved fatal. He was Ia
ken suddenly ill with paralysis of the
brain, after performing in "The Devils
Auction" in Philadelphia, the other
day, and died within few hours.

old woman in clear and deci-

for heating the Brooklyn IN. ~ bridge

method will he adopted. The first
method is by the use of chemicals in
iron pipes. This method would cost

put up similar pipes filed with heated
