Higginsville Post:-"The Intelligent
Ger Gays it believes that there was no
lawfully organized Democratic W
ton held in Kansas City, and devotes
three columns to proving the truth of
its belief. There was no convention of
any Sort. 1t was a disorganized mob,
without head or tail, a rabble that fifty

fall in an unholy scramble for office"
One would suppose from the above that
truly good republicans would never do

beauty, bright and Long Drawn Out.


One of the first things that strikes you as you
sit on the piazza is the extraordinary number of
pretty girls that abound, and then you think
that you never saw, girls so well dressed before;
flannel dresses, Tam 0'Shanters, and brilliant
scarfs never seemed half so becoming or appro-
pirate in Newport or Long Branch. Faces and
figures well known to you at home APP
pear here pretty, graceful, and, above
ALL genuine in their health and good
looks Except that the men generally, although
not necessarily, wear black coats III the evening,
there is little else to be seen among the young
people save gay flannel dresses forthe girls, with
colors too startling for any other place. while the
fellows wear the brilliant blazers and caps of
their different colleges or athletic clubs.
The number of very tall girls here is another
striking fact whole families of tall girls seem to
have come here lately, so that on a yachting
party yesterday on the steam yacht Sappho, the
average height Of the girls was over five feet
ten The ratio Of girls to mon was here rather
bad six to one.

A STATESMAN SUDDENLY cRAzED..
w. HI. Crennell, of Rochester, Takes French
Leave of a BARRIERS Chair.

New York Truth.
General William 81. Barnum, chairman Of the
Democratic national committee, called Saturday
night at police headquarters, and in very
mysterious manner caused the following alarm
to be sent out:
Have you found man since IL A. NJ. Saturday

command, and the artist that was scraping Mr..
Crennells face had Just finished one side when

That night while General Barnum was attend

House. Mr. Crennell, in very weak condition,
arrived at the Morton House, and was taken to
his room. A physician was sent for who
treated his malady with the necessary remedies.
Yesterday ne was very much better. When
seen by reporter, General Barnum refused to
say anything on the subject. He calls his
friends disease brain fever.

Arranging for His wake.
Sacramento Record.

A Sacramentan, who was very i'll with pneu-
monia, so much so that it was feared that he
could not recover made his will few days ago.
His life is insured for several thousand dollars,
and he desired that at his funeral every hack in
town should be employed, and all his friends and
acquaintances invited to attend and take a
Riverside ride afterwards. All who attended
were also invited to participate in grand ban
quet in the evening at the Golden Eagle Hotel,
at.which brass band, which should lead the
funeral procession, was to enliven the occasion
with music. After making this will the sick
man began to improve in condition, his good
spirits conquering the disease, and he is now on
the way to recovery.

THE LATE GENERAL SHIELDS.
The Terrible Suffering to Which He Was
Subjected for Many Years.
st. Lonis Globe Democrat

st. Louis Globe Democrat
would you like to see the mate to the ball
which passed through the General in the Mexi-
can war;" Mrs. Shields asked. In response to
an aHrmatlye. she brought out grape-shot, not
like the more modern messengers of destruction,
but q great iron ball with a deep, ragged fringe
showing rude casting. 1t measured full three
inches IN circumference. This was picked up on
the battlefield by an aid of General Scott's who
presented il to General Shields only few years
ago The shot which struck the General enter
ed below the heart passed through the hung and
came out under the shoulder blade. A surgeon
on the Mexican side who found him, took a silk
handkerchief and following the course of the
wound drew it entirely through the body. So
certain were the medical men he could not recov-
er that the official report to Washington in
eluded Shields among the dead. I'm all the
years of our married life said Mrs Shields II
don't think ever knew him to have one whole
night,of sleep undisturbed by that wound He
would get up ont of bed and walk the floor by
the hour. Ma, he would often say to me, /
know this will kill me- and so it did. The
doctors had told me to try, and keep him at home
and quiet as much as possible, for that wound
was liable to cause his death very suddenly. He
was not man to complain, and very few people
knew-w he suffered-he could stand so much.
After he was wounded in the Mexican war, they
wanted to cut his left arm off; it had be-
gun to mortify He told them no. Then they
said the only thing that could possibly save him
was to cut IN and scrape the bone. He told
them to do it and went through the operation
without taking chloroform. In the last war his
right arm and shoulder were badly hurt by
fragments of a shell and he had much trouble
with them. He could never lie on that side.
You might think man who had gone through
such suferings himself would get callous toward
the feelings of others, but he didn't 1t was not
once but many time I've seen him take a
mouse that had fallen into basin of water and
dry the little thing carefully and let it go, he
was so tender hearted

Israelltes at inc Grand union.

Saratoga Letter.
The science of physiognomy is practiced at the
Grand Union, which does not intend to admit
Jews. Every employe is expected to be expert in
detecting Judaism in faces. Nomenclature is
also made special study. However, the pro-
feieney is not so great in every case as to save
the establishment from Israelitish invasion. A
man with neither the nose nor name of a Jew
may become guest On the other hand, a
Christian may be mistaken for Jew under
some circumstances. There is a summer resi-
dent here, who, by nasal breakage, has been
made to resemble member of the chosen peo-
pie though he is a born and bred Yankee His
daughter was taken i'll. aud he fastened to the
hotel in question: to call a DR.. Bennett, who was

reply.

But Pm not a Jew, sir.
The guard scrutinized the suspicious nose, and
refasedto admit it Then its owner took it to
the Office and submitted it to the clerk who re-
luctantly became convinced Of the truth, and
wrote an order letting it in.
Florence the actor, got little fun out of this
anti Jewish crusade. His jovial face has Irish
lines in it, but no lineament that could be con-
strued as Jewish He had read what wrote
last week about the situation, and it came into
his mind as he walked up to the registry. He
wrote in the book: IS Isaacs, New York The
clerk looked at the signature in sudden alarm,
and then gazed earnestly into the comedians

At this point the bystanders laughed and the
