the other day that all this was poured m
10 Newport, and life seems little hard
for some people when one reflects on all
1t cost in labor and money to get sum-
mer' fun.
The events of last week were the Sher-
man-Brown wedding and the birthday
festivities Of George Bancroft. Beauti
tul were the the flowers and testimonials
Of esteem left upon the historian, who
gave dinner party in the evening, and
the drawing room table was heaped
up with kilograms Of congramlaton from
all over the country and from Europe.
Miss Brown had aloyely wedding She
wore the famous old family lace and car
ried a bouquet of lilies Of the valley,
grown especially for her. There were
flowers everywhere, and in floral bower
fourteen feet square and twenty feet high
the ceremony was performed This
bower was lined with orchids, and on
the outside matched with autumn leaves.
A wedding bell Of glowing orchids was
suspended from the roof ofthe bower.
Over the table whe1e the marriage GER
tificate was signed was a plaque six
feet long, in the centre of which was a
lovers knot of Scotch thistles, with mon
ograms Of the groom and bride The
centre of the dining table was minia-
ture lake, on the surface of which Aoated
Egyptian Water-lilies. 1t was undoubt-
ndly the most elaborate and beautiful flo
raj decoration ever seen at Newport
But when millions meet millions it is an
easy matter to transform the meeting
place into palace OF beauty.
The sale of Mr.. Lorillard's villa, The
Breakers" to Cornelius Vanderbilt for
$500, 900, made little ripple, as it had
long been expected to pass into the hands
of another person, who was willing to pay
this triAing sum for a cottage by the sea-
1t is refreshing to learn that there is some
body not feeling poor this season. Isup-
pose no one any longer thinks cottage
at Newport means cottage, though the
summer homes are still styled such. If
auy one does labor yet under such de-
fusion, let me dispel it by a brief descrip-
ton of this very cottage, or rather by
giving some Gifts dimensions. ltstands

As some of our 20 ung people have a
taste for the rug industry, the article be-
low will interest them:
Hagop Bogigian, the American, in a
recent ''Talk on Rugs" made the fol-
lowing interesting statements: "The
nchine-made rug, as compared with
! he ordinary Oriental rug, stands in
about the same relation that a chrome
does to fine oil painting. A rug is a
picture. The deep, rich tones which
bloom upon the rugs surface are like
flowers in garden, pleasing the glance
and producing soothing influence. The
effect on the eye is much the same as is
Produced when the sun shines through
acdOred glass window. A good pict-
nshould contain imagination, coupled
with good color and fair drawing. Draw
ngmay be lacking, but if the subject is
appealing, and color rich and warm, the
picture will stand criticism. II is the
same with Oriental rugs, They evidence
pure, rich colors, and individual genius

LOWE water-gas fuel is the key to the stu
alton. This can be supplied as cheap as
natural gas if stock company is formed
to furnish the necessary funds This is
worthy of consideration at the hands of
capitalists.
ut would be supposed after reading the
above that this gas could only be used for
heating and power purposes. This is not
so, however. About nine months ago Prof.
LOWE after much study succeeded in APP
plying it to Illuminating purposes. An in
candescent light is produced by allowing a
lighted jet of the cheap fuel gas to come in
contact with spiral of indestructible
metal. This is heated to a white heat, be-
coming brilliantly luminous, the gas mean-
while burning apparently without fiame
There is positively no Pickering OF the
light, as in the case with gas. The cheap
ness OF the gas used in producing the light
may be indicated by the statement OF the
inventor that light of twenty candle-power
will cost the consumer but n Of a cent per
hour for the gas. This gas in its pure state
produces combustion without light In
order, however. to produce light it is neces-
o"Ay W. oiIiSo bIlo SdS III Will SoibOhs
OF to render some substance incandescent.
Not only is the simple light an acknoWl-
edged success, but its variations and COM
binations are alike successful. and its direct
applications to the furnishing OF heat as
well as light have thus far realized the
highest anticipations Of the inventor"
Now that it has been demonstrated to be
a success there is a probability that st.
Paul will soon be benefited by the intro
duction OF this new method to the exclu-
sion OF the costly one, which is now such
heavy tax upon gas consumers. Speaking
OF the cost of gas in large cities. Prof.
LOWE said that New York pays for illumi-
mating gas more than $50, 900 per day, or
$12. IT'S. 900 per annum, while the cost of
the same article to Philadelphia is over
$4,000 per day. At so cents per
1000 cubic feet, at which price fuel
gas would be used to the exclusion of
all other fuel. at least five times as
much gas would be used for fuel as is now
used for light and probably ten times as
much. A consumption of 100, 900, 900 feet
daily at this price would amount to $4,000
per day, while the cost of manufacturing
the gas and conducting the business of the
company could be paid out of 10 cents per
1000 feet, leaving a net profit of $40, 900 per
day, or 81, 800. 900 per annum, which would
pay per cent. interest on capital of $121,-
900, 900, or 10 per cent on $4,000, 600. A
consumption of but 5O,OO0,0OO feet daily
would pay an annual profit of $3.50, 600,
an amount sufficient to pay per cent. on
$50, 900, 900, or 10 per cent. on $50, 500, 900.
New York employs capital of $45, 00O,-
900 in the manufacture of Illuminating gas.
One-fourth of the amount would establish
a plant to furnish heat, light and power for
all purposes. with enormous profit to the
company. Philadelphia, with her number
less manufactures, would use immense
quantities of this fuel, and it can be made
at her doors as cheaply as the inferior nat
ural gas can be brought thither from the
wells"

Very careful is Lester Wallack about the

with the daughter of an English nobleman,

officer in a crack regiment of the English
army. When Wallace lost Montague, who
gave him entire satisfaction, he was COM

to make love to young lady in her draw

THE .lrNNEApoLIs WILDCAT.

THE MINNEAPOLIS WILDCAT.
1t will. be remembered that during the
last municipal election campaign in this city
the Pioneer Press and Minneapolis Tribune
were in the habit of holding up the Repub-
lican municipal government of Minneapolis
as an example of all that was good and pure
in contrast with what they denominated as
the corrupt Democratic government of st.
Paul. The very salacious reading contained
in tine investigation of the police depart
ment of Minneapolis shows how little foun-
datiOn there was for the claims as
serted by our Republican contemporaries.
Judging from the developments made
during the investigation yesterday it would
seem that this model Republican city gov
eminent, which was held up to the voters
of St. Paul as the eXemplar of all that was
pure chaste and honest in all of its depart
ments. is in fact little less than an organized
matchmaking institution. Coming into
power under hypocritical reform declara-
ton it set to work first to establish all
sorts of disreputable houses in the city and
then organized systematic method of
bleeding the poor wretches who had been
duped by the city officials into engaging
in unlawful pursuits. Such condition of
affairs would have been disgraceful enough
if the proceeds of this system of black
mailing had gone into the city treasury.
But when they were diverted from the
treasury and went into the pockets of ras-
cally officials. the infamy Of it becomes all
the greater and blacker. If the charges
which have been made against the police
department of Minneapolis are sustained,
the blush of shame will be brought
to the cheek of every honest and re-
spectacle citizen of the city. Even
the facts which were disclosed by the
testimony during the proceedings of yes
terdays investigation are enough to
make the good people of our sister city rue
the day that they placed their government
in the hands of the Republicans. Any sort
of policy-a wide-open policy, as wide as
from Dan to Beersheeba-would be prefer
able to the disgraceful system of dealing
with the social evil which has been prac-
tced under Republican administration in
Minneapolis. The investigations now being
made will probably have the happy effect
of bringing the people of that city to see
that the only hope of honest and upright
government for their city is to place it I'M
der Democratic administration.

A FALSEHOOD.

The New York Herald of the Sd inst.
publishes what purports to be telegram
from st. Paul reporting that smallpox
scare exists in this city. The Herald has
been imposed upon by some malicious cor
respondent, who concocted the falsehood in
order to accomplish some evil purpose.
There is no smallpox scare in this city, nor
is there any serious apprehension of an in
vasion of the epidemic. The health depart
ment, with commendable vigilance, is tax
ing the same precaution which all our
American cities are very properly taking to
protect the city against the con-
tingency of an invasion of the dis
ease from Canada. There is not as much
of smallpox scare in st. Paul as there is
in New York. Nor is there much reason
for apprehension. New York is in close
proximity to Montreal and finds it necessary
to quarantine against the epidemic. There
is no smallpox in Western Canada, and
consequently no cause for alarm. At the
same time it is proper that the health
officers of all of the cities on this side Of the
Canadian border should require the enforce
ment of sanitary rules, which would be
protection. In this particular ST. Paul is
only doing what Chicago and st. Louis and
other leading Western cities are doing.
Whoever is responsible for the sending of
the telegram to the Herald is guilty of very
mean and dirty piece of business.

The Dressed Beef Question.

CHICAGO. Nov. 6.-The managers of
lines in the Western Freight association
met to-day and had bitter wrangle over
the rate at which dressed-beef contracts
made prior to the formation of the associa-
ton should be reported into the poo The
principal bone of contention was con-
tract between the st. Paul road and Ham
mond & Co. for the shipment of dressed
beef at so cents per 100 pounds.
Other members of the association
claim this should have been
reported to the pool at 391s cents. The
manager of the St. Paul road said no drafts
made.upon it for balances due on the basis
of 39X cents would be honored. The other
managers said they would be or the pool
would be broken up. 1t is thought not I'M
likely that it will precipitate fierce rate
war on all Missouri river business.

Possibility of a Postponement.

kilograms were received at the Northern
Pacific Office Yesterday asking postpone-
ment of the Transcontinental association
meeting, which has been set for Nov. %, at
Monterey, Cal. The reason assigned is
that all the members will not be able to be
present. The Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe representative telegraphed that he could
not be present, and desired the meeting
postponed until some time in December.
AS a postponement is contingent on the
Burlington's consent, it is likely that the
meeting will not be held on the day set.
Many suppose that the Burlington is only
playing bluff game and will offer no OBJ
jections to postponement of the meeting,
and will extend the limit set for Its with
drawal from the pool

cure hotel accommodations at the lake.
Lake Pend'd'onille is situated at the sum-
nit of the Rocky mountains and. game is
abundant being great attraction for sports
and tourists. A week or two ago a party
was organized who intended erecting a
slaughter house short distance from the
lake and supply the markets of certain
towns with game. Their plans were broken,
however, by the Northern Pacific refusing
to transport the game. Had the road done
so all the game would have been killed off
in short time and the place would have
lost its attraction as hunting ground.
