SEVERAL gentlemen have been
complaining of late about the ex-
tremely business like proceeding of
the ladies, with regard to Dodds
omnibuses. These gentlemen of UNI
exceptionable gallantry, say that it
is the daily custom of some fair
ones to hail the bus when they see it
is packed perfectly full, and then
the following scene is enacted. The
drivers looks persuasively around and
questions twill any gentleman oblige
a lady?" He fixes his eye inquir-
ingly on a likely looking subject,
and the lady stares stonily at him as
well, under the combined pressure
the unfortunate slowly resigns his
seat, climbs to the ground and pro-
ceeds on foot. Now they argue that
having paid to be carried to certain
place the contract should be fulfilled
or the fare returned, but as the
gentleman in a certain sense of the
word gets off voluntarily, the driver
not having refused to take hin on,
they cannot legally claim a return OF
the fare, and of course if the gentle
man chooses to get off, it is none OF
the drivers bushes. In view of all
this we are reluctantly compelled to

Worsting Henry Watterson.

In one of the boxes at Macauley's
Theater the other night sat Henry Wat
terson and his wife and daughter Mr..
WattersOn is man of distinguished
ability, and as the editor of The Court
er-jour,sal is widely known beyond the
border Of his state and section. Phys
ically he is not attractive, his legs are
short and his body long and fat; he has
a large head. one leaping, restless
light-blue eye, light-brown hair that
grows in the greatest profusion all
over his head, and which, in front, falls
over massive forehead, which is the
most attractive feature of the man.
Mr.. Watterson's success as An editor is
due to great natural ability, and to a
: style based on and growing out of
profound knowledge of English litera-
ture, acquired by years of careful study
and exhaustive reading. Mr.. Waiter
son is also very fine linguist, and so
fine are his ear and touch in respect to
music that he has been called"a blonde
edition of Blind Tom" He has no po-
litical opponents here worthy of his
steel In former days Mr.. Kelly, then
as now editor OF The Louisville Com
nercial, used to cross blades with him
occasionally, but only once did Kelly
come off with his colors flying. 1t hap
pened in this way: For some days
Watterson and Kelly had been hammer
ing away, discussing some political
question, which finally lost its political
and assumed personal aspect. In re-
ply to sharp criticism of Kelly, Wat
terson intimated that if it were not for
his scarcity of eyesight he would like
to take shot at Mr.. Kelly, but that
this was an insuperable obstacle, as he
felt confident that he could not hit a
barn-door, much less Mr.. Kelly. Kelly
retorted by saying that Mr.. Watterson
had on several occasions invited him to
have a shot, but always fastened to
add that he could not see, and that,
although he might be placed most adj
vantageously and furnished with a
crack pistol, still he felt that he could
not hit anything.
Now" said Mr. Kelly, II do not
know what to do with Mr.. Watterson.
He wants TO fight and yet he can not
fight on account of physical disabili-
ties. desire to state that l will not
fight Mr.. Watterson, but some evening
after the theater, if Mr.. Watterson will
kindly remain in his sanctum, l will
drop in and spank him and thus settle
all old Scores
This put the laugh on Mr.. Watterson
and ended the discussion for the time.

Novel Use Of Greenbacks.

what becomes of all the greenbacks
and bank-notes after they have served
their few years of usefulnessp" is
frequent query. A bsnk-note has its
life just the same as all other things
useful. What an interesting story the
travels of greenback from the mo-
ment it leaves the press until it returns
to the macerating machine would
make! The average life of bank-note
is about three years, perhaps little
longer After serving its purpose as
currency it is metamorphosed into
rabbits, birds and other figures. The
process of the destruction of the notes
is an interesting one.

daily papers paragraph something

Murat Halstead draws the following
peu-sketch of John Swinton: IF one
could imagine Horace Greeley with
black eyes, and countenance varying
10 second between expressions of
sparkling levity and fauatical serious
moss, with worldly air of knowing too
much to be of any use, he would have
vision of the eloquent radical who
generally tempers the devilment of his
doctrines so as to do but little practical
mischief, and who has the happy dis
tinction of being always faithful to the
work for which he assumes RESPONSE

HORROR IN A THEATER.

A False Cry of Fire in the Star Theater,
Glasgow, Creates Fatal Panic. Sixteen
People Trampled to Death in the Mad
Rush for Life Which Ensued.
GLASGOW, Nov 3.--A serious panic oc.
CURED Saturday evening at the Star Thea
ter, caused by a cry of fire. During the rush
of the audience to escape from the building
sixteen people were killed and twelve Sc
riously injured. The performance had pro-
ceededwithout interruption until shortly aft
er nine O'Clock, when some one shouted
"Fire" The whole audience instantly rose
to their feet and made arush to fhe several
exits. The great mass of people in the
'plt,.' in rushing therefrom, met a crush
ing crowd pouring down from the gallery.
The fearful and fatal block followed. Wild
shrieks of agony and despairing cries fol
help could not then be answered. The
mass of panic-stric1en and struggling
humanity was appealed to by officers of the
theater and by the police to hold back, but
the appeals were UNDECIDED The craZed
crowd frantically pressed toward the out
lets, trahplihg down and ever the weaker
ones, until the street was reached.
When the theater was finally cleared
sixteen corpSes were found on tue stairs
leading from the gallery, and twelve per-
sons were so badly injured that they only
gave evidence that life was not extinct by
their piteous meanings.
Upon the first alarm being rung the whole
fire brigade quickly went to the rescue, and,
with the police, did their utmost to allay the
panic and rescue the dead and dying, but
they were too late to be of much effective
service. Police and citizens finally succeeded
in forcing their way into the building, and
then aided all they could to escape to the
street; but the mass was so wedged that
they were sadly interfered with in their
humane labors.
The city ambulance corps conveyed the
victims, the wounded and dead, to the in
Urinary The wounded were so overcome
they were as helpless as the dead.
1t was learned that the author Of the cry
of fire was former employe of the theater
who had been dismissed. The audience
numbered about 1000 people. The per-
Torrance was chiefly music-halI business.

The Circulation of the Country is About
Twenty Dollars Per Capita.
CHICAGO, Oct. 3O.-Horatio Burchard,
Director of the United States MINIS, was in
the city yesterday. In conversation with a
reported he said he had prepared his annual
report to Congress, and it showed that the
amount of gold received by the minis this
year, less the gold deposited for coinage,
is far less than the previous year. This
fact was owing to the Philadelphia
mint being occupied in the recoinage of a
portion of the gold currency called in, and
thus not being able to coin gold or bullion.
There was deposited in all the mints $46,
100000 in gold, including foreign deposits.
Of this $30,O00,000 was produced in this
country. There was also deposited $780,
100000 in silver. The minis coined 81 ,000,-
600 in silver for the Hawaiian Government.
Twenty-Five millions in gold bars were sent
abroad. The increase in the cir
cuating coin of the country has been:
Gold, $13, 900, 900; silver, $22, 100000. The
amounts of all kinds of money In circula-
ton approximates ST., 100, 100000. The
total amount ia the National banks and
Treasury, together with that in circulation,
is $1,000, 100000, exceeding in volume
that Of any former period in the history Of
the country. Comparing deposits and ex-
ports for the first eight months of last year
with a similar period this year,
and the indications are that the decline
in gold bullion will be $1,OO0,0O0,
and the increase of silver 1900, 900. The
exhibit of the export and imeort of gold for
the eight months of 1884 ending October 1,
shows balance of 100000 against us.
Mr.. Burchard expresses the BELIEF that the
outflow of gold will not increase. The
crop movement, which has now set in, may
be looked to as likely to set the current the
other way, and an influx can be looked for
until this ceases.

DEATH THROUGH HERolsM.

james Carr Assists Large Number of
Girls and Men to Escape from Burning
Building in Chicago, but Leses His Own
Life.
CHICAGO, Oct. 3o.-A general alarm of
fire was turned in at noon yesterday from
box 756, at the corner Of North Clark
and Kinzie streets, caused by the conhagra-
ton at the southeast corner of La Sale and
Michigan streets. The doomed building was
what is known as Hemlock Block. 1t was
brick structure, six stories high,
eleven windows wide in front and
rear, and running back to the alley in the
middle of the block, the street numbers be-
ing 1872, 1874, 1875 and 12S Michigan street
1t is owned by Mr.. c. E. Culver, and was
occupied by number of tenants carrying
on different kinds of manufacturing buSi-
ness. The ground floor was occupied by
Schnabel & Co., as a barbed-wire fence
factory; the second floor by the Campbell
Printing Press Company; the third by Dan
heiser q Co., manufacturers of chewing gum;
the fourth and fifth were occupied by w. E.
Fisher, cigar-boX maker, and the sixth had
been occupied by the Adams & Westlake
Manufacturing Company, but was vacated
on October IA.
In Fishers box factory there were en-
ployed twenty-one men and eighteen girls.
The superintendent of the factory, James
Carr, assembled the thirty-nine people,
told them not to be alarmed and then
led them to the stairs, which were
fire-proof, and they descended safely
to the ground. To make sure that
none were left, he returned, but so quickly
did the flames permeate the building that
he found his meas of escape cut off. He
ran to the roof and appealed to the fire.
men, now on the spot below, to save him.
Some of them ran to the top of the next
building in the rear and threw him rope,
while others on the ground held tar
paulin to catch him should he fall. He
grasped the rope and swung off, but, I'M
fortunately for so brave man, lost his hold
and, to the horror of the spectators, he
came whirling through the air. He fell on
the tarpaulin with such terrific force that it
was torn, and striking the stones below he
was picked up insensible and fatally in
jured. He was taken to the Hospital, where
he died few hours later.
The third story was occupied by Dan
heiser Bros, chewing-gum manufacturers.
They employed twelve girls. These got
out by means of the ire-escape, but when
twenty feet from the ground eight of them
jumped and were slightly injured. AS far
as known these were the only casualties.
The fire broke out among the oil used in
the manufacture of the barbed wire on the
ground floor and from there spread with
lightning rapidity through hatchways, ele-
vators and stairways to the floors above,
soon having the whole building enveloped
in smoke and flame. The loss is roughly
estimated at @1hO. 600

important to Passengers.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 8.--Friday,
Judge Richards, Of the Superior Court, re-
yersad the decision Of Judge Stiles, of the
Court of Common Pleas of Jefferson County,
who had given judgment for plaintiff in
the case of Gayloid vs.. the Pullman Car
Company for loss of a diamond pin on
defendants car between Chicago and Louis
vile. Judge Richards held that the Pull
man Company was not subject to the strin-
gent liability Of all inT-zeeper, but does inn
pliedly undertake to keep reasonable watch
over passenger and property, and the faith
ful performance Of this undertaking is
the limit of its duty in this respect.
The failure Of the Pullman Company to
keep such faithful watch must be the foun-
dation of every action seeking to charge it
with loss Of articles which the passenger
takes with him upon the car. It was not
shown that the Pullman Company had been
guilty of negligence. Hence the ground for
the reversal of the decision
