The Tournament Held.--The Towson
Guards tournament, which was postponed August
18th on account of the rain, took place at Groom's
Dairy Grove on Tuesday afternoon last. Inc
weather was not propitious for outdoor sports ana
this fact no doubt kept many away, the attendance
not having been near so large on the first day.
Only seven knights put in an appearance and the
riding was not particularly fine. Thesuccesssul
knights were J. Duncan AImony, LIST prize, set of
single harness; J. Howard I'd, gentleman's sad
dle William Pearce 3d. riding bride, and AL.
Pocock 4th, buggy whip. Miss Mamie Medary
was crowned queen; Miss Mamie Brown, of Tow
sontown, first maid of honor Miss Mary Barnette,
of Towsontown, second maid, and Miss Lavinia
Pearson, third maid. Mr.. A. W. Perrie, of the
Towsontown bar, delivered very pretty i'm
promptu coronation address. The gold medal,
offered as prize to the best equipped knight,
was awarded to W. w. J. STREET., of Hartford
county.
After the regular tournament J. D. Almony,
j. Howard, Al. Pocock and II. Marley contested
for special prize-a set of buggy harness-which
was won by Mr.. Almony, who also won the har-
ness prize in the first tilt.
At the conclusion of the riding the company
repaired to tho pavilion where dancing was COM
menced, but as rain set in about this time, those
who were inclined to indulge in the terpsichorean
art repaired to the Guards Armory, where dane
ing was continued until about o'clock. By that
time the clouds had disappeared, and the crowd
being too large for the armory, all again repaired
to Groom's pavilion, where dancing was kept up
the greater part of the night. Barring the inter-
ference by the rain the tournament proved very
pleasant affair and the Guards did all in their
power to make their friends enjoy themselves.

NV Hands.

Such beautiful. beautiful hands,
THEY'RE neithc white nor small,
And YOU. | know, would scarcely thlhk
That they were fair at ALL;
I've looked on hands who's form ana hue
4 %sculpt0r's dream might hc'
Yet are these aged, wrinkled hands,
Most beautiful! to me.
Such beautiful, beautiful hands. ~
Though the heart was weary ana Sao'
These patient hands kept toiling on,
Thatthe children might be glad;
I almost weep, us looking back
ON c%lildhood'S distant day,
7 think how these hands rested not,
When mine were at their play.
Such beautiful. beautiful hands,
They're growing feeble now,
For time and pain have left Their mark
On hand, and heart, and brow;
Alas! alas! the nearing time,
And the sad. sad day to me, .
When meath the daisies, out OF slsht,
These hands will folded be.
But oh. beyond this shadow land,
Where all is bright and fair,
know, full we'll, these dear Old hahds
Will palms of victory bear;
Where crystal streams, through endlessy years
Flow over golden sands,
And where the old grow young again
III clasp my mothers hands.

HOUSE

An Unprecedented Rush to Secure Minor
Places Under the New Organization.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept ia gentleman who is
prominently spoken of for one of the influential
positions under the new organization of the
House of Representatives this winter, says he
never saw such a scramb for minor places.
Not only do the men who are on the pay-rolls at
present demand q retention Of their valuable
services FOR their influence, but a majority of the
members interested seek to pledge him to the
distribution of certain places to certain men
they name. Quite an effort is made to retain
some of the old employees at the Capitol. AS a
general thing the officers are changed in the
House every two years, and probably Lot more
than 5 per cent. of the men who fill the lower
places are retained. There is a desire
upon the part of not only the men
who are connected with the House, but
those who attend its sessions, to weed out these
fossils who have been in position so long, and
have new men appointed, and it is very prob
able that few, if any, of the wise old heads will
stay. There is a determination in the Senate.
also, to turn out the disagreeable men who have
been kept there so long, the first time that body
Is organized
The retention of men about the Capitol oper-
ates differently from that elsewhere, in that
or three years he grows surly and unobliging.
and generally is possessed of the opinion that
the thing could not run without him.

the Conservatives The Extreme Radical news
paper. the Dispatch. commenting on the address,
says that it prefers at present the leadership of
Mr.. Gladstone to even that OF Mr.. Chamberlain.
He may not be as radical as we
wish says the Dispatch, "out Radical
ism loses nothing by biding its time. "
The moderate Spectator declares that the result
of the manifesto will be to enable the Liberal
party Ito march forward like a wall"
Perhaps the most remarkable proof of
the power of the manifesto is that af-
forded by the Bourses which deal specially
in Egyptian, Turkish ard Russian securities.
In these markets Egyptian stock fell Il points,
and Turkish and Russian securities fell : of a
point almost Immediately after the publication
of the tenor of the document. The spectators
whose sales brought about these de-
clines explain that the situation created by
the manifesto is one of a probable return of
Gladstone to Office, which, they say, means a
British evacuation of Egypt. and an uncertain
foreign policy on the part of England. This ex-
traordinary taking of time by the forelock
would appear to establish the fact that Mr.. Glad
stone Is the most powerful man out of power in
the world.

day, there was an immense attendance; the

est of the day centered in the contest for the

lengths in advance of Miss Woodford. Passing
the stand on the first round all were running
easy, with Binpette leading one and one half
lengths. In the stretch the race was too hot for
Caramel, who took a back place, and Miss Wood
ford commenced to come up and decrease the
four lengths by which Binnette led her.
AS she went down the bend Mclaughlin COM
menced to whip the mare. and with such sue
cess that, entering the straight, Binnette only led
her a length. About ten strides from the finish
they were even, and the mare won the first heat
by a neck, Binnette being about thirty lengths
ahead of Caramel. Time, 800. In the Sec
ond heat Caramel was withdrawn. Bin
nette got a length the start, and maintained it

The Governor of ~Philipopolis Deposed by The
Residents of the City.
LONDON, Sept. 19.-The populace of Philip
opolis. the capital of eastern Roumelia, almost
to a man, rose in rebellion yesterday, seized the
Governor-general, deposed the government, and
proclaimed a union with Bulgaria. A provisional
government was established. The revolt was so
well planned that no disorder OF bloodshed oc-
CURED, everybody being in sympathy with the
movement, except the government officials. The
foreigners in the city are perfectly safe from
harm, as is also the property of
foreign residents. Immediately after the organ
ization of the provisional government,
the militia were sworn in. taking the oath of
allegiance to Prince Alexander of Bulgaria. 1t
is generally believed in diplomatic circles that
Russia arranged the programme of the rising,
and suggested the union with Bulgaria. No
definite statement can now be made as to what
action the signatory powers to the treaty of Ber-
lin will take respecting the matter. Eastern
Roulnelia was created by the Congress of Berlin,
in 1878. and was given an autonomic government
though forming an integral part of the Turkish
empire The Governor-generaI was appointed
by the Porte, subject to the approval of the
treaty powers.
The Bulgarian army has been modified and a
corps has been sent to the RouInelian frontier.
Prince Alexander has proceeded to Philiopopolis
and has appointed M. Strausky as commissioner.
M. Strausky is now president of the Roumelian
provisional government.
The insurgents ia eastern Roumelia, acting
under the orders Of the provisional government,
have occupied all the strategic points on the
Turkish frontier, blown up all the bridg es which
would likely be used by a force advancing from
Turkey to the relief of the deposed government,
and destroyed the telegraph wires leading into
Turkey.
1t is stated Prince Alexander has been assured
of the support of Russia, Germany and Austria
He will send an army to Roumania, and will
defy the Turks, The Sultan of Turkey has ap-
pealed to the powers to enforce the treaty of
Berlin. 1t is not believed that Lord Salisbury
will interfere. The Liberals applaud the action
of the Roumanians.

Transfer of Gold and silver Coin.

WASHINGTON, Sept. l9.-The transfer of gold
and silver coin from the overcrowded vaults at
San Francisco and Carson City to sub treasuries
in the Eastern cities continues. The total
amount of gold coin already shipped from San
Francisco to New York is about $13,4 400. 900.
The shipments from Carson City have been al
most entirely Of silver coin. In view Of the
large amount Of coin which has accumulated at
the New York sub treasury, by reason Of heavy
shipments from the West, it has been deemed
best to bring future shipments to the treasury
at Washington instead. and the first consign-
ment arrived here this morning. 1t consisted of
$500, 900 in gold coin from San Francisco and
5000. 900 in silver coin from Carson City. The
$40, 400, 900 shipped from New Orleans in two
naval vessels is expected to arrive here next
week.
