An Extract from Cen. Ben. Butter
worth's Letter Accepting the Nomi-
nation for Congress.
Ben. Butterworth's letter accepting the
republican nomination for congress in
one Of the Ohio districts is characteris-
tic, terso, and altogether as effective and
vigorous campaign document as could
have been constructed for circulation dur
ing his campaign. One extract from IL
will be good reading in many places out
side of Mr.. Butterworth's district and
outside of Ohio 1t is as follows:
To teach by precept, or inculcate By
practice tho advantages to accrue to the
true man and woman of our land by
habits OF industry, sobricty, economy,
and irugality, finds no sanction in the
democratic articles of faith. The prao-
tices in its own ranks that degrade and
corrupt, 1t never rcbukes, nor encourages
those which alone can elevate, cnnoblo,
and roline the struggling, earnest, labori-
Gus, wealth. producing classes of our
country. What a champion it Is of free
ballot and an honest count, when it is
known of all men that the only place in
our country where q free ballot and an
.'N"cob Scuho 'tiS iihl''o9iblO ~ hiiNlo bho
democratic party is supremol This is
peculiarly true Ia our own city. No man
was ever made freer by what that party
did; no man was ever made better by
what it taught; and in these 1t is the very
antipodos of tho republican party,
the mission of which has boon not
only to mako men freer, but better,
and the aim of which has been to pro-
tectand encourage homo industry that tho
opportunities for profitable employment
might be enlarged, and the industrial
classes have homes of their own. Tho
republican party knows that capital is the
creature and servant Of labor; that they
are mutually helpful and in a sense de-
pendent upon each other; that nine-tenths
of the adults of this country labor in one
vocation or another to get bread; that We
arc in fact q nation of laborers; that wo
add dignity to labor when we exalt and
dignity the laborer. In this behalf l
want to submit an important truth. It's.
that true dignity and manhood are not
secured or conferred by legislative enact
ment; both come to us, if at all. as tho re-
suit of individual effort, of individual
worth. Law cannot, and in justice should
not, yield to idlcness and vice tho reward
which belongs alone to industry and
virtue. Ono hand of wastoful dissipation
will scatter to the winds faster than both
hands of industry and care can bring to-
gether.

A TROPICAL TEMPERATURE.

swelterinE, seols'hed Humanity suf-
rers Severely from the Heat.
By common consent and universal
complaint yesterday was conceded the
hottest day of the ID ason. Thermometers
were generally Ignored, the intensity Of
tho suns rays diaicounting any mere
mechanical registration The heat was
of blazing, blist sring character that
defied the zephyr-l ike breeze that should
have tempered the heat, but only seemed
sufficient to watt tho hot air into other
wise cool corners.
Boss, mark me down SICK" said
stalwart negro laborer at the opera house
building to the upe,.intendent.
"Wbatslthe NATTER" asked tho lattes
for the man was a vall cd hand, and seemed
all right.
i've stopped sweating, and my inside
is all burning up"
True enough, in spit of the hard work
in the hot sun, his SIX lin was as dry as the
asphalt on the avenue and nearly as hot
to the touch. He was marked absent
quarter day. The water boys on the
building, and there ,,re over score of
them. were the hardest worked individ-
uals about the prem 4 les. Yet the men
who could still boast Il liberal stream of
perspiration worked with cheeriness
and will that would amaze suffering
clerk. whose most artliious duty was to
keep his massive brow duly mopped.
Instances of more or less severe effects
of the heat were repo'r ted from several
parts of the city. DR.. rank T. Howe, of
THE REPUBLICAN,, suffered q severe at
tack of sunstroke about 3 o'clock in the
afternoon, while passing Willard hall, on
F street. He was takeIl into Maj. Armess
office, across the way, where DR.. Harti-
gan rendered prompt s,nd efficient aid
He was taken to his home, on Corcoran
street, in the police amb . lance, where DIR.
Samuel Began, his family physician, took
charge Of the case. He had not regained
consciousness when he reached his home.

An Infant with Two Brains.

A child with two brains is the latest
freak of nature in Nebraska. 1t was
born to Mr.. and Mrs. Ernest Kuerwitz, of
Spring Creek precinct, near Hebron, on
tho 18th Of July, but only lived two days.
On the back Of its head was a tumor

MRS. SILVER REPLIES.
She Charges That She Hired DIR. Geo.
Gross TO Became Her Bondxman,

Gross to Become Her BOndsman.
W. jackson, who had been accepted as
sureties on tho bond of Mrs. Elizabeth
Slyer, administrators of the estate Of ].
P. Mallard, came into tho orphans court
and asked to be released from the bond
on the ground that they had been de-
ceived into going on it by false repre-.
sentation. Mr.. L. A. Newman, who
appeared for the administrators, assorted
that DIR. Gross had received due bill for
$35 for going on the bond. Tho doctor
at first Indignantly denied the charge,
but being pinned down by the court ad-
mitted that the due bill might have had
something to do with his action. Judge
James postponed decision at that time,
saying he wished to see how much con-
nection the due bill really had with the
case.
Yesterday whom the case was called
neither of the bondsinen was present, but
Mr. L. A. Newman came armed with an
affidavit of the administrators, in response
to the charges preferred against her.
Mrs. Slyer states that she is creditor of
the Willard estate, and at the suggestion
and approval of the heirs at law she con-
beHttu W hCp hs
Jackson became one of her sureties; that
DIR. Gross agreed to become a surety in
consideration of due bill for S25, which
she gave him. She was surprised when
Jackson and Gross demanded in court to
be released from the bond.
This was done before she had received
the letters aud before the due bill became
payable, and she believes that the object
of the surcties. by this proceeding, was to
enforce the collection of the due bill,
which she was ready to pay when due.
She says that Jackson is being influenced
by Gross. She insists that the only CON
sideration of the due bill was the execu-
tion of the bond by Gross; that she never
was indebted to him in any other matter.
She denies making any false representa-
tions, as alleged by the suretios. She says
II matters little to her whether she or some
one else administers on the estate, but, be-
fore consenting to release the sureties she
submits that her due bill should be sur
rendered. The case was continued until
next court day to secure the attendance
of the sureties.

A REMARKABLE ROOF.
ow tho New Opera House is Being
Covered Ina Delicate Job.

Covered Ina Delicate Job.
A piece Of carpenter work is being &C
complished on the new armory and opera
house building that approaches an en-
cheering feat. The building is 95 feet
across its narrowed diameter aud a truss
roof is being constructed of wood to
span .his area. As a preliminary the
whole Of the vast auditorium had to be
illed in with what is known as false.
work, in the construction of which over
"a. Goo feet OF lumber was used. On the
top ofthis temporary flooring has been
isid, and on this = derrick aud pair of
high trestlss arc set. The six huge beams
n Florida pine, forming the principal
r~ftess, are hoisted up we'll left in tho
osu.er OF the dense mass of masts and
bosids, and when OH the lofty flooring are
sskcn in hand by tho derrick men who
elevate than to the required level where
they rest on the trestles while the trusses
are put in place which hold
them. There are six OF these to each
rsfser and they are of the same dmen-
sisns. 12Il4 inches. Resting on stone
piers on the top of the walls are the COM
posite rafters stretching across just over
che ceiling. A massive iron heel is bolted
on to the end Of each OF these, into which
the end truss beam fits, the other end
being fitted with corresponding iron caps
to receive tho main beam. When oil
these parts are in position a number OF
heavy iron rods are bolted to the two
transverse rafters and the tressles and
derrick are removed to do similar service
for the next rsfter. The roof, which will
be of slate and tin, is to rest on jack
rafters above the massive trusswork, 1t
will be mansard in character, but with
no windows or projecting caves.
The brick work is being pushed, but is
not sufficiently advanced 10 enable the
roof to be omplcted as rapidly as might
otherwise DO done, though it Is possible
the bricklayers will catch up with the
carpenters to-day

There is a wonderous beauty at Long
Branch according to several writer's, Her
name is Gloria Cespedes. She is the
daughter of Gen. Cespedes, who was killed
about fourteen years ago in the Cuban
revolution. Twins were born to the
widow few months after her patriot
husbands death, and Miss Gloria is one of
them. She is described as a most beauti-
full specimen of the pure Spanish type.
Her face, while characteristic of her ma
tionality, is moro regular and delicate in
its features than is usual among her
countrywomen. Her hair is jet, her eyes
large and lustrous her complexion rich
and clear and her expression bright and
amiable. Still more remarkable than her
perfection of head is her faultlessness
of figure, combining statliness and grace
in both carriage and pose. Whenever she
appears among the dancers in hotel
parlor, or tho loungors on varanda
there is nothing else to be looked at. She
dresses in q childish fashion yet, nor are
her juvenile manners at all affected by
tho coquettishness common to the girls OF
Cuba. Her fan is not used in tropical
tricks, and her eyes seem to know no
other than honest witchory.
