no doubt that Buffers letter will be an

at Chicago, when he present

LULU HURST IN BROOKLYN.
A Small Boy AstOnishes the Audience
by Pushing Her Around the Stage.

A Small Boy AstOnishes the Audience
by Pushing Her Around the Stage.
For two hours last night, says the New
York World, a gOod-natured Brooklyn
audience sat in Haverly's Theatre and
guyed Lulu Hurst and her black NOUS
tached young manager. The youth at the
piano was the only performer who was
not guyed. Lulu looked warm as she sat
robed in a silk dress of Immaculate white
ness. Paul Atkinson tried a funny
speech and talked about mysterious
power and psychic force and
began to tell a long pun which
he hammered out of shape and then
sat down. Two very old gentlemen, one
of whom was DIR. Adams, well-known
physician, went upon the stage and were
soon followed by others. At the end of
the circle of chairs sat a youth scarcely
16 years old. He had fire in his eye when
he stepped up to take his inning at the
umbrella trick. The little fellow jerked
Miss Hurst all over the stage and handled
the umbrella at will and, inspired by APP
plause, he pushed the wonder back to the
wings. Seeing herself overpowered, Miss
Hurst resorted to one of her lodges and
deliberately snapped off the handle, thus
destroying the youths hold.
Inc most amusing cHdTdcIeF was q
raw-bOned, dark man with pair of what
the BOYS called ''sluggers" on his cheeks.
He tried to make speech. 81 weigh 1881
pounds" he said, ''and l don't under
stand'-
"Perhaps if you find the other half
pound you will," was the uncouth remark
that crushed him.
A young fellow with his locks of hair
plastered down on his forehead and parted
in the middle took a hand. The won-
der gazed alphabetically on him, and
cries of ''CashV "Cash" 'EThe next
waltz" robbed him of his strength. He
grabbed the chair and the wonder in an
undertone said something to him, when a
voice from the corner called out: sob,
amt it nicef' The salesman measured
his length like piece of calico on the
floor and left.
During the chair act it was plainly visi-
BILE to those seated in the front rows that
Miss Hurst breathed hard and held good
grip on the chair, with the muscle of her
thumb against her bent palm.

The Cleveland scandal has about run
its course. AS the campaign progresses
it will drop out of sight. AS originally
published it attracted some attention, and,
perhaps, to a limited extent created a
prejudice against Cleveland. The publ
cation of the truth rObs the original story
OF allits worst features, and makes very
common place affair out of what has been
spread over the country as an Ofense too
great to be overlooked or excused. 1t is
to the credit of Democratic journals that
they have not retaliated by publish
ing any of the sensational stories
that are floating about respecting Blaine's
private life. There are such stories, and
it is stated that they are well authenti-
Gated. 1t Is hardly becoming the dignity
Of a great party. however, to search the
record of the private life of the candidate
OF the opposing party for campaign
material. 1t will be remembered that the
Democrats in the campaign of 1880 did
not touch Garfield's private life and they
have not taken a line from Blaine's private
record. As in Garfeld's case they have
dealt only with such things as concern him
as a public man. What the people want to
know is, which candidate, judging from
the public record Of each, gives the great
er promise of honest government; which
Of the candidates Of the two great parties
has proved the more faithful to the trusts
that have been repOsed in them? 1t is not
difficult to answer these questions. What
is there that can be said to Clevelands
discredit: What is there that cannot be
said to Blaine's discredit? Cleveland has
won an enY liable reputation for official in
tegrity-Blaine has won an unenviable
reputation as a political jobber.

NEW YORK LETTER: Being known as a
millionaire is awkward. The rarity of thai
kind Of suffering may have caused the fact to
be generally overlooked. 1t was impressed
upon me by one of Vanderbilt's sons this same
night at the Casino. A waiter had served
him and a companion with lemOnades, for
which the charge was half dollar, and then
hung about, plainly disappointed, because
some of the change had not been left on the
salver. After he had at length withdrawn
his behavior was commented on by young
Vanderbilt. "If | thought he knew me, "
said he. Il suppose I'd be just fool enough to
give him dime. or quarter. perhaps,

Cheap Butter.

Butter is very cheap in New York, the
great butter-prOduciug State. The oleO-
margarine manufacturers and dealers
protested with great yehemence against
the passage of the bill prohibiting the
manufacture and sale Of oleOmargarine
in that State. Butter, they declared,
would become so dear that poor people
would not get taste of it more than once
or twice 4 year, if so often. They pre-
dicted that the price would 90 to 65 cents
a pound. How greatly they were mis-
takenl 1t is stated that the best gilt
edged creamery butter can be purchased
at prices ranging from 16 to 30
cents a pound by the wholesale,
and can be had at about
% cents per pound at retail. Before the
oleomargarine bill was passed, butterine
and OleOmargarine commanded from %
cents to So cents a pound. just as soon
as the dairymen were satisfied that the
bill would be passed they largely in
creased the number Of their cows so as to
be able to meet the increased demand for
their products. How much better is it
for the people of New York to have pure
butter than the substitutes which they so
largely consumed year ago. Last winter
law was passed by the Legis-
lature of this State which made
it the duty Of dealers, and hotel
and restaurant keepers to notify their
customers and patrons when they sold or
made use of any of the substitute for but
ter, but it seems to be a dead letter. 1t
is all folly to enact laws unless provision
Is made to enforce them. Nobody under
takes to enforce the law in this State, and
it is doubtful if there is a dealer who dis
plays a sign that he sells OleOmargarine,
or a hotel keeper who tells his guests that
he occasionally gives them a substitute
for butter. If the butter producers in
this State were given more encourage
ment it is probable that they could sup
ply the demand of the home market with
good butter.
