An Inside wheel

NEW YORK, Aug. 51-Menbers of the
now famous Home Club -repudiate dis
closures as to the alleged plot to assassin
ate General Master Workman POWderly,
but some enemies Of the club are disposed
to credit them and to intimate broadly
that they are but samples of the dark re-
cords OF an interruptions secret organIza-
ton. In further explanation of the story,
William Brown, an original member of
the Home Club. says the whole animosity
of our attack was centred upon r. D. Lay
ton, then calico grand secretary of the ex-
ecutive board of the Knights of Labor.
He was the Home Clubs bitterest oppon-
ent and we felt that if he could be made to
know we are in earnest ne would stop an
noyances. Layton had Mr.. P0wderly's
ear and was debating policy which, If
kept up, would destroy the organization
in Brooklyn and New York, and several
times, Notwithstanding We opposed Pow
derly's election at Cleveland, we felt, as he
was a Knight OF Labor, he ought TO change
his views upon the strike then IN force in
the Glen Cove starch works. But there
was Layton intriguing against US. / know
Layton was being followed about from
post to pillar in this city by couple of
fellows who would surely have given him
beating If they got chance. but they
did not propose 70 kill him. There was
no effort made to attack PoWderly. That
story was started by Layton.

SedgwIck, Sec Bayard's special
Envoy to Mexico, over whom several east
era papers Tuned considerably because an
EMPoRIA News reporter succeeded in in
tervlewing him On his way to the Rio

tstion for himself among the greasers,
judging from the following dispatch:
He was invited to dinner Friday night
by the Jockey club. Mr.. SedgWick went
there in regulation costume, and enjoyed
| himself immensely. He 5000 became hi
| lsrious, and made himself the center of q
crowd of admirers. He was on a mission
of peace and good will toward Mexico
and beamed with peace and good will into
| every giass that was offered him. Toward
the small hours OF morning his friends
surrouded him aud gave him assurances of
their undYing devotion. They decked
him with flowers and placed big bouquet
| in the top of his hat. At about Gals 3 m.
the Inmsles of the Iturbide hotel were
aroused by noisy performance. There
Ico's gilded youth singing and
shouting, and they led as in triumph, Mr..
Sed9ewlck, the special envoy. "Viye Ell
ambassador Americana" th' y cried, and
Sedgewick, decked out as a prince, with
big, long evergreens, nodded his proud as
sent. The party then proceeded through
several stores and caroussd in several
houses of we'll known reputation, in one
of which they left their prize. in charge of
some women. At2 p. m. Mr.. SedgwIck
returned to his hotel, looking the worse
| for wear, but wearing e bran new hat.
The escapads of the alleged special envoy
| is the talk of the town, and members of
the American colo y are full of IDdigna-
tion over the disgrace brought upon the
American name by the man selected by
Mr.. BayArd for a delicate mission.

A FRENCH physician, having tested his
theory, advocates sleeping with the head
lower than the feet. He slept that way
tor four years, aud finds that his neck Is
nearly two inches larger owing to the
swelling of the thyroid gland. He says in
this way the brain receives a more plent-
nj blood supply, aud Is consequently bet
ter nourished. while there is no danger OF
so much blood passing to the cerebral
structure as to cause congestion. This
danger Is obviated by the enlargement OF
the thyroid gland, which holds back q
certain portion of the blood in is dilated
vessels, and which also acts rs a regulator
of the cerebral circulation by exertiDg
pressure upon the caTo,ids, and thus d.
minishing their calibre.
