Yesterday, whom crossing Union square, l
wns saluted by a theatrical friend whom ]
nave known something like twenty years.
Anything gone wrong with youf" I in
quired, struck by the pallor of his face and
the general air of detection that oppressed
me as well as him.
Woll-I hate to say 1t, old fellow, but Pm
in the hole; and If you could lend me Il little
-
Sorry" / interrupted, shut the fact is Pm
just now putting every dollar l have into
business, and you know how n fellow is
when he doesn't nave mors'n enough to skin
through on. But how much do you wantfn |
asked, half prepared to hear him say a SEQ
bill would plug the hole.
IIf you'd let me have 50 cents" he began
in "A despairing way. "pd SOON"
Good Godr l exclaimed, as the actual
truth that this man was starving forced it
self upon me. "Here-here's a dollar. Take
that and welcome"
He looked the other way a moment, gulped
down his rebellious emotion and said: 1
haven't had a meal since the day before yes
terdny's breakfast. l have been fired out of
my room and don't know where / shall sleel
tonight. The only mouthful of food l nave
tasted since tho last breakfast was a pretzel
in n beer saloon down here at Fourth avenue
and Fourteenth street last night, when one
of the boys asked me in to have a glass OF
beer. Much obliged for the dollar. You'll
probably never get 1t back, but I'll AVE a
good feed"
1 hope he relished it. But such are the
ups and downs1of fortune in his business
that it would be no surprise to me il, ON my
next visit to New York, he should send me
down an order for a lower box in his own
theatre,

ONE Of the largest New York theaters

is being crowded nightly by large audi'
ences to watch the peculiar performances
of a so-called electric girl, who has
lately invaded the metropolis from
Georgia. She is apparently about twenty
two years of age and of good muscular de
velopment. Everything she touches
seems to succumb to her strange inherent
power. An athlete in the audience holds
up an umbrella, and by n simple touch of
one hand she leads him about the stage
at will, forces him to writhe in the most
awkward contortions, and finally filings
him limp as a rag against the flies or
proscenium boxes. If she touches her
hand to the back of a chair
upon which a $50 pound man is
seated the individual may brace
himself as he will but the chair under
goes the most peculiar gyrations all the
same. Those in charge of the girl do not
pretend to make any explanation of her
conduct, and merely say that it is due to
some thing which they do not understand

binary muscle force, and one physician in
support of this theory actually accom-
plished some of the strange feats, but
with infinitely more apparent exertion
han the girl. 1t is said that Georgia
has another electric girl, rather puny
in build, and only about sixteen years old,
who can accomplish even more wonderful
things. As the original ''elec-
tric'l girl . has proven such a
great financial success in Gotham
the other gifted young m will also be
taken there. Curiosities seem to be quite
numerous this season. An explosive
man has been discovered. By merely
looking at a plate glass window he shat
tiers it, and his actual presence in a china
shop is said to produce scene of desola-
ton and woe. As a curiosity, however,
he dees not pay as well as the electric
girl from the fact that his glance is so de-
structivc to the fragile ornaments in the
theaters. y New York paper suggests a
matrimonial alliance between the cleo
trio girl and the explosive man, and
certainly n more eccentric combination
could not well be imagined.

THERE is much fine writing in the Re
publican papers over the fact that Grover
Cleveland was a Sheriff and later in his
career a Mayor. In both positions, how
ever, he did his work honestly and well,
and thus qualified himself for the Cover
norship of a great State. In this latter
position he has fitted himself for the
Presidential chair

The New York Times believes the hos
tility TO Cleveland comes from the two
conspicuous rotten spots inthe Democratic
party of the country, and the e%xcision of
those ulcers will do it good, for it will
begct a flow of sound and healing blood
in the system which will produce new

The Baltimore Sun in reviewing
the 'tblood and bottom of Democratic
aspirants in the different States for
presidential honors, concludes with
New England. where it finds "in
Gen. Butler, of Massachusetts,, who
has already been nominated for the
presidency By the democrats of his
own State and by the greenbackers
and anti-monopolists of others States,
a New Highlander for whom it can at
least be said that he compares favor
ably with the Maine statesman in
smartness, audacity and devotion to
practical" methods in politics"
The Sun, has the good sense to
close its recommendation of the
chances for Butler with the doubt that
the General "cOuld get serious hear
ing ID the National Democratic Con-
yention" We are sure nine-tenths
Of the democracy win concur IN that
doubt.

SIGNS or THE TIMEs.-A special TO
n T. Truth from Chicago says
while the echoes of the hurrah
with which Blaine was tossed 10 the
top of the ticket Friday are still family
heard in the vicinity of Convention
Hall, startling rumor comes boom
ing along drowning every sound it
meets. This rumor is to the effect
that step is likely to be taken, and
without delay, by prominent Indepen-
dent Republicans, who declare they
will not support Blaine, which will
result in the holding of another Con
vention for the purpose of nominating
another ticket. kilograms have been
received from Independents in nearly
every State extending sympathy with
the movement and pledging it
hearty, enthusiastic support. Some
of Blaine's warmest supporters in this
city gravely admit that they have
heard the rumor, and they try to
make light of the matter by saying that
the movement was set on foot by
Western Democrats. 1t is said that
George William Curtis, Theodore
Roosevelt and John /. Gilbert have
kicked the traces and will not support
Blaine. Senator Hoar was asked
whether he would work for the ticket
with Blaine at its head, but he de-
clined to express an opinion. The
Daily News of this city and the Illi-
nois Stats Zeitung, which have all
along been friendly to Arthur, and
were among the warmest and most
earnest advocates Of his nomination,
refuse to support Blaine"

THE proposition to construct a
narrow guage railroad from this city
to point on Chesapeake Bay, and
the building up of a summer resort
easy of access from the national capt.
tai, is being discussed with considera-
bic energy by several capitalists of
this city. 1t is proposed to hold a
meeting at an early day and take
steps looking toward organizing and
securing a charter Wash. Letter.
The proposition is good one, if
Annapolis is made the objective point
or rather, if the route should pass
through our city and terminate at
Bay Ridge. There are many reasons
for the wisdom of this suggestion,
which, we are sure, would convince
any business mind at glance.

u. >. NAVAL ASYLUM.-EOr some
time past the Navy Department has
been in a quandary as to what was
best to do with the present U. s.
Government Hospital situated near
Annapolis. 1t is . superb modern
structure, costing an immense sum of
money, surrounded by large and
attractive area of land, located on
high elevation, surrounded by plenty
of Salt Water, and holds both COM
handing and picturesque view of the
neighboring country as well as the
Chesapeake Bay and the Severn
River. 1t was designed, when cree
ted, as an Infrmary for the Naval
Academy Cadets, but as the general
health of those heretofore and at
present attached to the latter institu.
ton has been so remarkably good,
(pdr eroellant) the Hospital has
proven to be a very little necessity in
q sanitary point of view.
During the present session of Con-
gress, Representative Moss, of Mas
sachusetts, introduced bill, which is
now pending in the House, looking
to the sale of the Hospital here, as
well as others elsewhere situated
This would show, we take it, that the
Government has no further use for
this property as Hospital. In that
view we would suggest that it might
be very adequately and suitably util-
lied as substitute for the present
US. Naval Asylum, now located in
the City of Philadelphia.
This latter institution is kept up
for the benefit of old and decrepit
sailors, as home for them in declin-
ing years. It's present location is
said to be very unsuitable for the
purpose of on asylum, being situated
in the midst of densely populated
metropolis. Old sailors, we are told
crave to be near by the water, and
we are of the opinion that the hos
pital building and grounds here could
not be made to subserve better pnr-
pose than to convert them into a
Naval Asylum or Sailors Home, to
take the place of the one now located
in Philadelphia. Will not some of
our wide-a-wake and spirited citizens
give the above suggestion due thought
and make some active move in the
matter.
