A New Treatment.

The scolding woman has cen held to
be objectionable from the days of Solo
mon down to the present time, ut not
even Solomon, with all his wisdom and
wives. could suggest method both
kind and etfectual of inducing scold-
ing woman to become silent. Mr.. Mac
Cregor, who has recently been sued tor
divorce " his wife, has done what Solo
mon could not do. 1t appears that
Mrs. MacgregOr was in the habit OF
talking interminably and extensively to
ner husband. When once she turned
on a full head of language nothing
could induce h r to cut it oil. In these
circumstances Mr.. Macgregor had a
happy thought. He ought a cage full
of rats with which to treat the unhappy
woman's case When she had scoldcd
him jor what he rcoa ded as u rcasona-
bic length of time he would open the
door of the cage and let ont a single rat.
In most cases Mrs. Ma"gregor would
lump on the nearest chair and beg for
mercy, pledging herself to keep silence
for the rest of the day on condition that
the rat should be pul back into the cage.
On rare occasions when there was a
step-ladder in the room, and Mrs. Mac
gregor was able to climb to the highest
step. she would continue to scoid until
a Sc onG.sat was exhibited, but it was
never necessary to pursue tho treatment
with a third rat.
Mr.. Macgregor's system will be
greatly admired by all h lmane men. 1t
seems to produce the d sired effect with
out inflicting the least harm upon the
patient, and it is believed to fe AN abso-
lutte specific for scolding wives. 1t
must fe confessed, however, that it is
liza lie to Re made useless by any wife
who has the shrewdne>s to provide her
self with that infallible rat ant;dote, an
active terrier. Had Mrs. Macgrcgor
always carried this antidote a out with
her she would have teen able complete
ly to neutralize her husbands rats. and
to scold even more vigorously than
ever.-N. y. Times tf

The ,.1int.

A number Of Democrats labor
under the impression that the day
after Cleveland is inaugumted q
man will be in Carson cleaning out
the U. s. Mint, while he hands the
Democrats their commissions. II
any changes are made, they will be
made very gradually and
the probabilities are that Cleveland
will have something else to attend
to for few months after his inaug-
Grafton beside cleaning out the Cal
son Mint. 1t will be at least a
year from now before any changes
are made and then it will take some
time to effect them, even after the

PerhanS it, q Joke.

The Footlisht is considerably
d sgusted over the idea that Col.
Fair sent plethoric sack to Col.
S 5one, of Virginia City, and that
Stone is around trying to beat
down printers bills to % cents on
tie dollar. The insinuation is
made that Col. Stone has sunk a
portion of the money. Perhaps
Col. Fair never sent any money to
Stone. The Senator is fond of
practical jokes. When he ran for
Senator he stated that he had sent
eleven hundred dollars to the Ap-
PEAL office through the Democratic
Central Committee of Ormsby.
The APPEAL was paid 1925 for ad
vertising, and not Il cent more.
At first glance we supposed that
the Central Committee here had
frozen to the money, as election
day was cold day for them, but
on reflection concluded that We
would need stronger evidence than
Col. Fairs word to cause US to rus-
pect even Democrats of thievery
The Footlight should consider
these things before arriving at the
conclusion that Col. Stone has
acted dishonesty.

! NEW YORK, November lit i
well-known that frauds, if any
were committed in this city. Earl
on election evening it was give,
out that 1851 election districts
which comprise more than half the
city, had given Cleveland l3,0Jt
plurality. Soon after came The
statement that Clevelande plural
iiy would not exceed 10000 At
terwards, again, bat after midnight
/ came another announcement that
four districts to hear from would
: give Cleveland $4,000 plurality
Then came the final announcement
that the city complete had given
, Cleveland $4,000 plurality. and it
was 80 published in the World, but
in no other paper. 1t was after
wards announced that $1,000 was
an error for $4,000 plurality.
Now, in view Of the fact that
1900 was insufficient, if genuine,
to carry Cleveland through, an ex-
tract from the Star, keliy's organ,
Yesterday morning, Is sisni icant.
The following is the extract The
Tammany Hall Committee of seven
on the part OF the Tanmany organ
ization to watch the canvass OF the
electoral ticket had long confer
ence last evening with the Chair
men Of the Democratic National
and State Committees. The Wis
itors had two objects in view
First, to positively deny the exist
ence Of any deal between Tammany
Hall and the Republican Alder
men affecting the Presidential con-
test. This assurance was deemed
necessary in order to allay public
fear throughout the country, which
had been worked up by the circu-
lation of unfounded newspaper ru-
mors that Cleveveland and Hend-
ricks were to be sacrificed for some
local advantage. Elk Senator Eos
ter, Chairman of the delegation,
satisfied the representatives of both
committees that the Tanmany sup
ervisors would permit no action in
the Board which would lose the
Democratic electoral ticket a single
vote. "
It is we'll known that soon after
the polls closed, certainly before 6
O'Clock, some Of the biggest Demo-
cratic politicians in the city one
Congressman-elect telegrapbed to
Cleveland at Albany that his cleo
ton was certain and congratulating
him. The question is, Did these
gentlemen know that the city could
be relied upon for any amount of
Democratic majority to elect the
ticket? All these statement are
indisputable. and can be correlated
by proof and just here is where
the Republicans based their hopes
that quarrel between Tammany
and County Democracy would bring
out the truth and the facts.
