FORAKER INSULTED.
The ChiIdish and UndigniGed Act Of
Mrs. Cleveland

PHILAByELPHIA. Sept. 19.-There is
very littb lett now OF the great celebra-
tion except the men OF war in the river
and the world OF gossip and comment.
kkes OF newspaper efforts In de-
Eption and discussions. The most
kiatable piece.ct gossip TO the gossip
ers has been the conduct of Mrs. Cleva-
land towards Governor and Mrs. For
aker. No one would believe that Mrs
Cleyeland Intentionally turned her back
upon Governor Foraker when he passed
in the procession, but in view of later
events 1T appears quite certain that Mrs.
Cleveland did turn her back to Foraker
purposely, that she waited till he came
by to do so. and Immediately after ac-
complishing this highly sensible and
dignifed performance, went to lunch

At Governor Foraker's first meeting
with the President at the latter recep-

and Governor Foraker introduced the
members of his staff who were present.

possible, she reached out her hand to

not Mrs Cleveland's action was through
an arrangement with her husband or

ReYOlYers Going the Rounds.

A country merchant stopping at one
of the Chicago hotels the other day
asked the clerk to direct him to the
pawn-shop region of the CITY, The

pay my hotel bill. I am a hardware
dealer and want buy some revolvers."
The country merchant went down to
South State and Clark streets and made
the rounds of the numerous pawn-shops
to be found there. He bought several
dozen revolvers of all sizes and values
and piled them in carpet bag, which
he had brought along for the pur-
pose.

quiry of the Chicago Herald reporter,
who had followed him. 81 buy all my
revolvers in this way. I have been on

on the revolvers buy in the pawn shops
to pay my hotel bill, and sometimes my

a great deal cheaper than ! could new
ones, of course, and out where
live l can sell them for almost

about this revolver trade. A country
boy never thinks of coming to Chicago
without revolver in his pocket. lie
has heard so much about the wickedness
of Chicago, you know, that he really
thinks it wouldn't be safe. And, beside,
no young man in the country thinks him
self really man unless he has a revolver.
When they come here to Chicago on bust
ness or a visit, or looking for a Job, and
they run short of money, the first thing
goes to the pawn shop is the revolver;
and they go for a song, too. One day l
was in the pawn shop at No. - State

wonder if l could make two or three
more turns on it before it wears out, aud
if don't somebody else will. There's
drift of revolvers in that way.
We sell 'em in the country, in the CITY
the pawnbrokers get them, and then we
buy them back again. -Four iifths of

better the trade in proportion. The trade

In A BOTTLE.

1t was beautiful day in midsummer,
and the half-a-hundred-odd cabin pas
sengers on the good steamship Mantle
were listlessly lounging about the deck.
They were already nine days out from
Liverpool, and owing to an unfortunate
accident, which had occurred early on
the voyage, only haf the distance to
their port of destination had been ac-
complished.
The accident had been attended with
no danger to the precious human freight.
but the mOnotony of the voyage was be-
coming unbearabe, and the passengers
were beginning to grumble
Every artifce had been resorted to to
relieve the tedium of the slowly moving
days, and now they were literally at their
wits end.
Charades, mock trials. skettles, and
amateur theatricals, had in turn been
resorted to, but now, with their faces
turned longingly toward home, they
lounged about the deck, and bemoaned
their sad fate.
A particularly discontented group
leaned against the port-rail, amidship
composed OF two Young ladies, showily
dressed, two young men who looked
rather jaunty in their semi-sailor dress,
a stout, red faced, coarse. looking man,
and an equally stout, red-faced, and

Melancholy.

There is deal of "Inoping melancholy

about two-thirds of which | attribute to

much melancholy which results from
sufficient cause, but when one takes the
majority of the cases and examines them,
he will find that little dieting, some
lemon juice and pill or two will make
the sunshine just as bright as it ever
did to the patient, and he VIII wonder
that his liver had such power over his in
tellect. Young people in love are given
to fits OF melancholy, but in these in
stances the cause of the trouble
is a supersensitiveness of the peri
cardium resulting from excessive
youth and redundant verdancy. A
little age and little ripening always
work a radical cure with these patients.
l think it is extremely foolish Tor people
to let themselves become melancholy,
even though there be some cause for it.

The Gales had been home nearly a
month, when one morning a hired hack
came slowly up the long carriage road
which wound through the rich pork

finally reached the house, the door
opened, and a young man leaped lightly
to the ground.
He inquired of the servant who an

Elsie was considerably surprised when
told that a gentleman wished to see her
below, but she went down, and timidly
approached the back parlor.
She halted for a moment on the
threshold, and the gentleman, who had
been idly drumming on the window,
turned.
At the sight of his face she reeled,
and would have fallen had he not sprang
forward and caught her in his arms.
'Elsie, my darlingp' he said, holding
her very tightly. "Have you no word

Water.Grabbers.

Owing to the system of land piracy,
Nevada has been regularly swndled in
every real estate transaction in which her
interests were concerned. The man who
bought forty acres of land contiguous
to a spring, river or lake, had the actual
possession and enjoyment of perhaps
10, 600 or 10000 acres adjacent thereto
without the latter costing him nickel.
The reason is obvious. So long as the
buyer holds good title to the land bor-
dering on a stream he is monarch of all
he can see beyond and around that
stream. The owner of forty acres upon
which exists a spring thus has free
range, or pasturage, of several square
miles, and the State is out of pocket by
the operation. In illustration of this
evil we can cite one case out of thou
sand. In certain township there are
about twenty five thousand acres of land,
but only two springs. At ST. % an acre
this township ought to realize for the
State the sum of $31, 250. But the land
pirate knows that by buying up the land
Immediately surrounding the spring he
practically becomes the owner of twenty
five thousand. He therefore buys the
smallest subdivision which the law per
mits, that is, forty acres around each
spring. For these two small tracts heis
allowed twenty years in which to pay
the balance. That for which he ought
TO pay $3l, 250 he gets for SlGO. In
other words, the State has been selling
these water grabbers mainly consisting !
of a rich and powerful syndicate of cat /
.lemen, her selected lands at rate less |
han half cent an acre. Virginia City |
