Hired Seaside Emery.


While chatting with the proprietor OF
well-known Long Branch hotel the other day,

the coming summer exodus. He laughed and

latest wrinkles of those people who pose as
swell summer tourists ON excessive small ln-
comes. dressmaker whom my wife went
to see to-day told her that she had a great
variety of dresses for the summer season
which she would hire out on reasonable terms,
and change for others once every week. Now,
amt that an idea. You see, Miss De Smith
can go to Long Branch with seven morning
and seven evening dresses, and after week
she secures another fourteen, and can bloom
out IN an entirely new set for the following
week. All these costumes are made upon
sliding scale basis. with big seams and wide
hounces, which facilitate their being changed
to fit many sizes. You see that with four sets
OF dresses the costumer can change them from
one watering place TO another, and thus serve
four people simultaneously, giving each CON
slant succession of new toilets. For about $25

Think OF that for American enterprise.

Old Men In Public Life.

Washington Letter TO the Cle0eEGnd Leader.
There are many gray heads in this House of
Representatives, and fully half the heads of
the Senators are either bald or silvered. The
average age of statesmen seems TO be on the
increase, and statisticians tell us that men
live longer now than they did when George
W Washington as baby. Kelley at IS puts in
twelve good hours of work every day and is
as active as Young McAdoO. who is less than
half his age. Wait, of Connecticut, is well
preserved at 20, and Singleton, of Mississippi,
though over 20 years of age, did q great deal
of WORK toward securing the passage of his
library bill this session. 1t used to be thought
that a man had about fulfilled his usefulness
when he reached the age of 60, but there are
twenty seven members of the lower house
who are between 90 and ~ years of age, and
among these are some of the best men in it,.
The age at which statesmen reach their best
reputati IN seems to be between so and
so, though a large number become very
prominent before that time. CLAW, Calhoun
and Webster jumped into national promi-
hence very early in life, and Clay was q mem
Der of the Senate before he was 30. John Ran
dolph appeared so young when he was elected
to Congress that ne was asked his age when
about TO take the oath. He disiained to an
swer the question directly, and referred the
inquirer TO his constituents. James q. Blaine
mas some years to live before he will be 60.
George +. Edmunds is 81, and Arthur was
younger than this when he left the Presi-
dency. Sam Randall is 81; Carlisle LOOKS
older than Randall, but ne is only so. and Tom
Reed and Gov. Long have made national
regulations at As and A. There are fewer
men than usual in this House between 80 and
40, and there are none under 81. In many of
the houses of the past we have had Congress-
men in twenties, ana Galusha A. Grow was
only IS when he came here to represent the
district of old Wilmot, the man Tho made the
noted proviso.

A Sanitary Suggestion.

Our dispatches show that the cholera
is slowly spreading in Southern Europe.
The number of deaths is daily increasing,
and before cold weather comes IL may be
very large.
This country has escaped visitation
of the terrible disease thus far, but what
certainty is there that it will escape alto
gether? The march of the disease is
steadily onward, and If the his
tory of it is repeated it Will not lose
it's virulence and disappear until it has
visited the continents closely connected
by commercial relations. 1t ID somewhat
surprising that it did not reach this
country or the West Indies last summer.
1t is in the Mediterranean ports, and YES
sells from those ports are coming to this
country all the time. Cholera cases
are liable TO be discovered on
any of them which come from
infected ports, and there is such strong
disposition to conceal the disease on it's
first appearance that it is difficult to Sc
cure reliable information as TO which
ports are infected,
All the Atlantic cities should look care
fully after their sanitary condition.
Cleanliness is believed to be the best pro-
lection against cholera. Cleanliness is
also preventive OF other diseases, and
money spent for sanitary purposes will
not be wasted, whether the cholera comes
or mot

The English Elections.

1t seems to be conceded in England that
the battle for home rule for Ireland is
lost. 1t even looks as if the Conservatives
would have majority independent of the
Liberal Unionists This is a condition OF
affairs hat is greatly to be deplored. 1t
VIII have paralyzing effect upon the OBJ
struotive policy which has EN- pursued
by Mr.. Parnell with so much success.
The fight for home rule will have TO be
begun again almost at the point at which
it started when Mr.. Parnell became the
leader Of the Irish home rulers.
1t is possible, OF course, that the Con-
seryatives will ne willing to grant some
thing to Ireland, but what they would
grant would hardly be worth accepting.
In fact, it would be a wise thing to do,
probably, to refuse to accept any halfway
measure such as Uhe Conservatives would
likely be willing to grant. 1t would be
better to keep up the agitation until the
demands Of the Irish people are substan-
TALLY complied with.
1t IS not difficult to understand why
signal defeat. The cry has been
raised tnat nome rule IOr ireland
means the disruption OF the British en-
pire, and many OF the voters appear to
believe it. The religious issue has also
been raised The electors are told that
Protestant lrishmen would find it ex-
tremely uncomfortable in Ireland if the
Catholic Irishmen we're given a chance,
by means OF a Parliament at Dublin, to
manage IRISH affairs.
There are go members of Parliament,
and If the Conservatives and Liberal
UniOnists haven't fully half of that num-
Der now they will have it PROBABLY in a
comparatively few hours.
If the Conservatives fail to get a clear
majority they will have some difficulty
in forming a Ministry, and of govern
ing the country if they should succeed
in forming it. They cannot depend upon
the Liberal Unionists for assistance in
any other matter than that relating to the
home rule issue.
h coalition Ministry might be formed,
but England's experience with Minis
tries of that kind has not been such as to
create a desire for another. Whatever
the outcome of the present elections may
be- it is certain that the struggle for home
rule will go on until the victory is won.

A Rich Mans Industrious Son,

From the Boston EUeRing Record.
A little further down the road toward Bos-
ton one comes across the town of Tilton,
which used to be called SanbOrton Bridge I'M
til the Tilton family took pity on it. They
have not only bestowed their own name upon
1t, but have endowed it with a town hal a
railroad station, a fountain with a marble
nymph capering on top of it, a little park. a
bronze figure of a deer, a race course and a
gravest0ne that cost $4,000. The reigning
riltOn. who is a man about go years old, is
supposed to be worth in the neghborhood OF
$4,000, 90, and his only son is an eng neer who
daily plies up and down the Northern rail-
road. When this son came of age his father
said TO him:
go and earn your living, young man."
"But how shall earn it, father"
II don't care so long as you do it honestly.
Good bye"
The young man went away, and managed
after awhile to get work firing an engine on
the Northern road. In the course of seven or
eight years be developed suhicient capacity to
make it safe to trust him with the engine of
gravel train. He sticks to his business
faithfully and saves most of his wages.
Whenever his father offers him money, which
is understood to have occurred several times,
he takes it without hesitation and puts il ali
in the bank. His capacity for getting up in
the world is not regarded as great, but bis
genius for saving his spare copperA is unques-
toned. The share OF the Tiltonian wealth
that falls to him is not likely to be dissi-

The popularity of the SUNDAY MORN
ING News and Its great circulation
among the intelligent and prosperous

gives 1t value to advertisers not pos
sessed by any other paper in

goods, wares or wants are, advertisers
will find the SUNDAY News unequaled
as a medium through which to address
thousands OF people who have many
wants and the money with which to sup
ply them.

and upwards. A small advertisement re-
ceives as much care and attention as
large one. Advertisements can be sent in

MIR. Brown Backing TroubadOur


A gentleman from Washington attended
the races at Sheepshead Bay last Tuesday to
witness the race between Miss Woodford and
Troubadour. He says that just before me
hOr-es started he was standing near MIR.
Brown, the owner OF Troubadour, when a
gentleman approached Mr.. Brown and casual
~ remarked:
"Weh, you think your horse is going to win,
I suppose"
II have 5000 which think So" quietly re-
piled MIR. Brown.
THAT suits me-" responded the other, and
each rut up $1,000
II have another $1,000 which Is Of the same
opinion" said Mr.. Brown.
Good enough" replied the other and an
additional s.. coo each was staked on the race:
II have also $25, 600 that says TroubadOur Will
not be headed during the race" again re-
marked Mr. Brown.
That is what Pm looking for" replied the
other, and s25, GOO more each was also put up.
The Washington gentleman says these trans
actions were conducted as quietly and with
no more apparent excitement on the part Of
the betters than II only u bottle of wine had
been wagered. When Troubadour came IN

Presidential SurnriSeS.

The President has given Congress sew
eral surprises. In fact Democratic Con-
gressmen have about reached the cOnclu-
sion that it is by no means possible to pre-
dict, with any degree OF certainty, what
the President is going to do in any par
ticular case. For instance, it was eX-
pected that he would nominate Capt.
Greedy. OF Arctic fame, to be Major and
Assistant Adjutant General to fill the va
cancy caused by the death of Col. Benja-
min, who died a few weeks ago.
SO confident was Congress that Capt.
Greedy would get this place that a bill,
which authorized the President to ap-
point him as an additional Assistant Ad-
lutant General, which had been reported
tavorahly in both houses, was permitted
TO remain quietly on the calendar. No
one below the grade of captain can be
appointed tn an Assistant Adiutant Gen.
eralship, and Capt. Greedy became Captain
by promotion in May last. TAe Senate
hurried up his confirmation IN order that
he might be qualified for the vacancy
caused by Col. Benjamln's death.
But Congress and Capt. Greedy were
doomed 10 disappointment. Inc name OF
capt. Schwan, a native OF Germany, who
entered the army in 1857 as private and
rose TO Captalncy by his own efforts,
was sent 10 the Senate for the place of
Assistant Adiutant General. Capt.
Schwan had no influence except the re-
commentator of his superior officers.
while Capt. Greedy was urged for the
place by politicians, scientists, diplomats
and milliona'Tes.
This case shows pretty clearly that the
President aims to do what is Just rather
than to please those who are influential.
/ Capt. Schwan is the second soldier VINO
rose from the ranks whom the President,
within short time, has honored. The
claims Of both to the honors they received
were superior to those OF others, aud that
is why they were recognized.

Sing hey! for a cauldron of boiling oil,

Where this obdurate sinner may sizzle and boil
And tropically soak his head.
Who says to his brother in sweltering stew,
With gurgle of feryid glee,

It's not warm enough for me-"
May he SINCE and toaht, and simmer and roast,
And char, and kindle, and burn,
And scorch and SINCE till his soul will cringe,
And his body to cInders turn.
Then the blistering heat of furnace fire
Shall accomplish his just cremation,
And fagots and peat of his funeral pyre
To finish his incarceration.
And thus this fellow We'll ardently kiln,
And listen with joy to his means;
And when he has carbon ted all that he will
Wen each take one of his bones.
And waving the calcined remains of him.
A Parseean dance will do;
And shout this jocular requiem:

American Cardinals.

The Catholic Mirror of Baltimore ex-
presses the opinion that the time is not
distant when several more Americans
will be made Cardinals. In its opinion
there is no doubt that Archbishop Will
liams, of Boston, will be the next one in
this country raised to the Cardinalate.
The centennial of the foundation of the
first Catholic see in the United States
will be celebrated in November, 1891, and
the Mirror says before that time Boston
and San Francisco will have representa-
tives in the College OF Cardinals.
The reasons of the Mirror for these state
ments are not given, but the character of
that publication justifies the conclusion
that reasons exist, and that they are very
good ones. In the article in which these
statements are made the following quota
ton from the re marks OF the Pope at the
cousIstory held last month, appears: "The
tlpurisbing state of Catholicity In the
United states, which develops daily more
and more, and the condition and form ac-
cording to which the ecclesiastical can
ons OF that country are formulated, adj
wise us, or rather demand, that some of
their prelates be received into the Sacred
College" This in itself, without addi-
tional reasons, would seem to be salts
factory indication OF a purpose to create
other American Cardinals in the near fu-
ture.
