IMPROPER ADVERTISING CARDS.
Dr. Crosby Says they nre One Of the Signs OF
the Present L"ose city Government.

Tho nude in the placards by which tobacco
and liquor firms advertise has within a short
time developed with great rapidity. 1t has
become one OF tho striking features OF the
shop windows and elevated railway stations.
The figures Of the beautiful females who, for
some explained reason. are associated with
various brands OF whiskey and tobacco. have
been made to manifest nm inclination to out
vie ono another in the indelcacy with which
they wear the scant allowance Of clothing the
artists give them, and in the general impro-
priety of their attitudes and bearing. The
hundreds of thousands OF persons who ride in
the elevated railway trains are confronted by
these pictures while passing up and down tho
station steps. ana the Same faces leer through
shop windows.
Dr. Howard Crosby OF the Society for the
Prevention Of Crime, speaking on the subject
yesterday, said: | have noticed this outbreak

Gen. sherman Still Maintains Davis Was
Conspirator.
ST. LOUIS, December l0.-General Sher-
man this evening in answer to question by
an Associated Press reporters as to whether
he intended to reply to the letter of Jetfer-
son Davis recently published in this city
said be might do so at some future time, but
he should consult his own conyenience;that
Mr.. Davis had not addressed him, but
the St. Louis Republican, and that if he
made any reply it could only be through the
War Department. He further said he did
not suppose any reporter was present at the
Frank Blair meeting the night he spoke, as
the Grand Army is an organization only for
social intercourse of personal memories.
Still he admitted the reports published con-
tained much truth, but not all.
He has most of his Louisiana pa
pcrs, he said, to make good his
assertions that civil war was forced on the
people of Louisiana by conspirators in
Washington and during the progress Of the
rebellion Mr.. Davis changed his views Of
the doctrines of secession, and determined
to use force in case any State Of the Con-
federacy should attempt what was then
known as separate State action" The
General has already sent to Washington
some letters and papers bearing On the case,
but as to their publication he stated the
authorities there must be consulted.

The President Asked to Open the Cotton
Exposition by Wire.
WASHINGTON, December l0.-A delega-
ton of Congressman, headed by Commis-
sioner General Moorehead, of the New Or
leans Exposition, and S MAJORS Lamar and
Hampton, called upon the President today
and requested him, in view of his inability
to be present at the opening of the Exposi-
ton, to open the Exposition by electricity.
The plan is to clear one of the
Western Union wires and attach one end
to the motive power in machinery exposition.
The other end will be connected with the
White House, and at fixed moment, every
thing being in readiness, the President, sur
rounded BY his Cabinet, members Of Con-
gress, Judges, government officials and for
eign representatives, willpress the button in
the Executive Mansion and instsntaneously
set the vast machinery of the exposition in
motion. The President has agreed to take
this proposition under consideration.

TELLER'S TALES

Concerning His Political Neighbor, Senator
WASHINGTON, December S.-The bad feel.
ing betwt en- Senator Hill, of Colorado, and
Secretary Teller, has eliminated in direct
statement from the Senator, in which he
says plainly that the Secretary, if he is the
author Of stories against him, is an infamous
liar. The direct cause OF the trouble was
publications in various newspapers, one OF
them mentioning Secretary Teller as
authority, in which the Senator was charged
with attempting to buy his reelection by the
Colorado Legislature by the most open and
shameless use Of his money. Senator Hill
called on the writer of the last Of the arti-
cles here, and when informed that Secretary
Teller's statement was the authority on
which it was based made the vigorous re-
sponse quoted.
Speaking of the matter this morning, the
Senator said simply that he had been silent
under the charges as long as he could, but
when he was forced to defend himself, deter
mined to do it thoroughly. 81 stand ready
to show" said he, that not one dollar has
been used by me, except Tor legitimate
campaign purposes, and no body shall in.
sinuate anything else without being called
on 10 prove it.
The trouble between the Colorado gentle
men dates back to Hills first election to the
Senate, when, as his friends say, Mr.. Teller
claimed to be working IN his favor until the
last day and then turned over all the votes
he could master 10 Senator Chafee. All
through the latter part Of the Hayes admin
isuation, and through Gar6elds and the
present one, the fight has been kept up,
vigorously, and it now breaks out again
more bitterly than ever, when Mr.. Hill is
seeking reelection. A late calculation Of
the votes IN the Legislature gives Hill q
strong lead among the Republican mem
bers, but he has not enough to carry the
caucus. His friends will not 90 into it,
therefore, and will get some assistance from
the Democrats. This fact has made still
more bitter the opposition Of Mr.. Teller,
Governor Routt and ex-senator Chalfee,
and has brought out the charges from them
which Mr.. Hill is now pronouncing lies.
Secretary has gone to New Orleans and
will not be in Washington for some time

He Says the President-Eiect Has Not Yet
Formed His Cabinet.
WASHINGTON, December l0.-Senator
BayaId, in an interview last night, said he
spent part of last Sunday with Gov. Cleve'
land, and was greatly pleased with him.
Referring to the published report that he
had been offered the Secretaryship of State,
he said: This is all idle hummery."
He added: Il do not think any one
would be justified in saying that Mr.. Cleve.
land has yet come to any decision about
what he intends to do. 1t might be even
too much to attempt to indicate his i'm
pressions. He must have time to talk with
the members OF his party who can give him
the information he desires. Mr.. Bayard
indicated that the sole object of his visit was
to impart any such information as might,
perhaps, be seryicesble.
