History of the Glove.

The glove as a portion of our costume is so
ancient that its inventor is not now known,
but it seems quite certain from the records
that gloves came into use as soon as shoes.
There seems to have been no time when
gloves were not worn. They are mentioned
in the Bible and in the oldest literature that
has come down to us. They were first used
as a protection from the cold, and were
thought to be mark of effeminacy.
Some of the early Christian fathers in
weighed strongly against people in perfect
health clothing their hands IN soft cover
ings, but. like all preaching from that day
to this. it ayailed nothing against the
fashion.
In time the bishops and other clergy got
to wearing gloves themselves, and the
monks were among the earliest glove makers
in Europe.
The glove bore a part in regal and mar
tial ceremonials. At the coronation of the
kings of France the newly-crowned monarch
received from the hands of the officiating
bishops pair of gloves, previously blessed
by the church. Nm England a new sover-
eign receives a right-hand glove, and with
it the sceptre of the kingdom.
Gloves were at one time favorite form
of New Years gift and wedding gift and
to make the present more valuable money
was sometimes given in the glove Sir
Thomas More, when lord high chancellor
of England, was presented with a pair
filled with gold coin by grateful sutton in
his court, in whose favor he had decided.
Gloves were given by lover to his be-
trothed as symbolical form of binding the
bargain, and at weddings lavish gifts of
gloves were made to the clergyman and
guests, but this custom has long since been
abandoned.
But it is still maintained at funerals and
on important occasions the undertaker'S
bill for gloves is considerable item, par
ticularly when the governmenment has to
pay.
Kings and mobiles were buried with their
gloves on in the old times, and remnant
of the question may still be observed among
us when cavalry soldier is buried. His
gloves with his sword and hat, are placed
upon his coffin.
The use of the glove as a symbol of defi-
ance, or challenge to combat, comes to US
from immemorial times.

Certain Delegates Drunk.

ST.. LOUIS, June 27.-The house of dele
gates became indignant last night at the
newspaper reports of their preceding meet
ing, at which an exclusive franchise was
granted to the Iron Mountain railroad to
build an elevated road through the city,
and passed resolution that the reporter
who made the charge that the passage of
the bill was secured by Gould's lobbyists be
expelled from the floor. A majority of the
delegates favored the resolution, but Mr..
Wenzliek. who made such de-
termined fight against the Iron
Mountain bill, did not agree with
the others. He said the whole thing was
caused by the conduct of some of the men,
bers, who came upon the floor of the house
in a too mellow condition while the bill
was under discussion.
Ibid you ever see any Of the members Of
this house in a drunken condition on the
foor?" Intercepted Mr.. Plschen.
81 did, and I can truthfully state that
have seen as many drunken members on this
floor as have fingers on my right hand.''
Disorder followed. but personal encoun-
tiers were avoided and quiet restored.

RANDALL,s TARIFF B1r1,.

The RANDALL tariff bill, the text of
which is published in this mornings
GLOBE, and which will be introduced in
congress to-day, is a poor stagger in the
direction of tariff reform, yet it is one step
and that is something gained. Now, if
Mr.. MORRISON and his followers are wise
they will come up to the support OF the
RANDALL bill and put it through. 1t is
the only tariff measure for which there is
ghost OF chance for success during
this congress. The main point now
with sincere tariff reformers is to get
recognition of the principle of tariff reform.
Any bill which makes the slightest reduc-
ton is a concession in this direction. Upon
the principle that if whole loaf cannot be
had, half should be taken, the NOR
RIsoN-CARLIsLE wing of the Democratic
party in congress is in duty bound to vote
tor the RANDALL bill.

what Dreams Are Made COZ.

Flying is suggested by the rhythmic
movements of respiration.
An involuntary extension of the foot is
fail from the dizzy height of tower.
A slight intercostal pain becomes the
point of an enemy's dagger, or the bite of
an enraged dog.
The sleeper sometimes dreams of his
appearing on the street or in society only
half dressed; the innocent cause is found
in some of the bedclothes having fallen off
Difficulty in respiration is fearful agony
caused by nightmare, the nightmare SEEM
ing to be weight rolled upon the chest, or
a horrible monster which threatens to stifle
the sleeper.
Parents and friends cut off in the flower
of life ordinarily appear in dreams because
of the profound impression which their
death or burial has made, hence the gen
eral opinion that the dead continue during
the night their intercourse with the living.
An inconvenient position of the sleeper,
a slight hindrance to respiration, or inter-
ference with the action of the heart, may
be the cause of dreams where one seeks
an object without being able to find it or
has forgotten something in starting on q
journey.
Those subjective visual and auditory SEN
sations which are represented in waking
state as a luminous chaos of an obscure
visual field, by humming and roaring i'll the
ears, and especially subjective retinal sem
sations, cause the dreamer TO see innumer-
able birds, butterflies, fish, multi-colored
pears or flowers. But if there be some
cutaneous irritation these visions are usually
changed into caterpillars or beetles, crawl
ing over the skin of the sleeper.

GRAPE CREEK, ILL.,. June27.-The Grape

are now being turned out like so many cat

Pittsburg scale of rs cents ton, but sub

pany declined to permit outside interference
with its business, but placed strong guard
over its property and notified the strikers
to vacate the houses they occupied. The
men sought relief in law, but
the court decided June 2,
that the leases were valid and
the houses must be vacated. The men
were given till June 81 to move out. but
failed to comply with his requirement and
last week the work of forcible eviction was
begun. The strikers with their families
are camped in the woods, and subsist on
the pittance doled out to them by the union.
They number about 1000 persons. 1t is
believed, but for few professional agita-

A DESPERATE LUNAT1o

quietly entered crowded Goa CHI of the
Michigan Central train leaving for the

ering and Leo Levi, two insane
patients, whom he was taking to the
county asylum at Wayne. 1t was neces-
sary for the party to separate in order to
get seats, and in this way Kolb's eye was
withdrawn from constant surveillance of
Tubering. The latter is powerfully-b
German. Shortly after the train
drew out Kolb was startled by
the cries of women passengers. He
had only time to look up and see Tubering
with his hands raised to deal murderous
blow az him. The insane man was armed
with a large spike and brass faucet.
Kolb ducked in time to avoid the blow and
the pair at once clinched. The frenzied
patient fought desperately and his cries of
murder rang through the car. Women
screamed and fed from the coach. They
were followed by men, leaving the keeper
and the lunatic in their struggle up and
down the aisle. For a time the mailman
had the best Of the fight, but
Kolb managed to avoid the iron
missiles until the train hands arrived

and he was ironed until the train reached
Wayne. There he made another desperate
fight against his keeper. He was finally
overpowered and taken from the train.

THE HIRED GIRL PROBLEM.

The newest aspect in the labor organiZa-
| ton is the creation of the hired girls assem-
bly, to be received into active membership in
the labor unions. Whether or not this is to
add to the perpleXity Of the houSekeeper
remains to be tested. The servant girl
| question has already assumed so many
| aspects as TO be a subject of perpetual
alarm and uneasiness to the American
housekeeping public, The perpleXities of the
| subject have not resulted so much from the
| feature of wages, although in all conscience
sake they are high enough, as they have
| from the deSpotic sway which the hired
girl yields over the mistress of the house
hold. 1t has been but recently that in
| some of the Eastern cities the hired girls
effected combination by which they were
| enabled to eXtort certificates of good char
| acter by holding over the heads Of their en-
| ployes the threat of a SANDER suit in case
the reference was not mp to the prescribed
| form. Now that they are to have a sure
enough organization and are to be admitted
as members in good standing Of the
great labor organizations of the coun-
try, the hired girls will doubtless
aim to enforce the reference system. A
natural result will be counter organization
of housekeepers which will have in view
the establishment of some plan whereby
the departing hired girl would get a refer
ence which would not make the author
thereof liable for damages. and which
would at the same time protect the other
housekeepers in search of girl from de-
ception. The diplomatic housekeeper will
probably be compelled to adopt the prac-
tice of the late WILLIAM CULLEN BRY-
ANT when he was editing New York
paper. The eminent poet had instructed
his book reviewer not to say anything dis
| agreeable about new book, but to COM
mend it in every way possible. One day
| the book reviewer brought him particu-
larry bad volume of poetry, and said it was
utterly out of the question to say anything
good about it. Mr.. BRYANT replied:
''Then don't commend anything in it; just
say the cover is pretty. the binding good
and the printing handsomely done" The
same principle can be applied by the house
keeper to giving reference at parting to an
unsatisfactory hired girl without making

A Hebrew Theater.

Sp6cldl 10 tNe 0lOD6.
NEW YORK. June 27.-People at the
heterogeneous lower end of the Bowery
were interested yesterday in the work of
large gang of men who were clearing away
all the structures on considerable space at
the rear of several stores. Inquiry elected
proof of the thoroughly cosmopolitan char
acter Of the metropolis. The site was being
made ready for the erection of a
$50, 900 theater, in which the per-
formances are to be in the Hebrew
language. There are in the city quite
40, 00G Poles who speak and read in addi-
ton to their own language mongrel He
brew tongue. They are about as separate
from the rest of the population as though
they were walled city by themselves.
They have their courts, synagogues and
lately theatre, converted from a shabby
concert garden. Here plays in HebleF'-
have been enacted and the concern was the
scene of one of Sidney Luskas peculiar
stories of Jewish Life. The venture has
been successful enough to lead to the erec-
ton of a rather fine new theater, but hardly
anybody except the very exclusive Polish
Jews knew Of the project beforehand.

remarked man from New England. ut was
my first visit and the scenes and incidents
made an impression on me that time will not

to make man remember it for several days.

that time La Junta was busy settlement. A
hundred or SO wooden buildings lined each
side of the main street, including three hotels,
a dozen boarding-houses, immense stores
where the freighters into Old Mexico got
their loads, and ten or twelve dance halls
and saloons and gambling places. Everything
was wide open.

was grave yard. This fact was commented
on most favorably by everybody who resided
there. 1T shows what healthy place we've

way of informing the stranger that no fatal
rows had occurred within that time. Every
body was on the make and the hotels all
