A POLITICAL "REMINISCENCES.
How Conkiing and Cornell Fell Out-A
Statesman's Error.
New York Special.

New York Special.
One of the subordinate chieftains who will not
relish giving way to Conkling is Ex-Governor
Cornell. He is quiet candidate for the sena-
torship. These two parted company mem
orane Sunday in 1881, when Conkling decided
to be again a United States Senator. The story
is here particularized for the first time in print.
There was to be a conference in the house of
Vice president Arthur in New York, and Cor
nell, then Governor, had not only been invited
to attend this meeting, but had written to
Conkling assuring him that he would be there.
On the night before the conference Governor
Cornell said to his valet Stephen: "Now, here
is an alarm clock set for $50. Come to my
till get mp and open it. 1t is very necessary
that / shall take the $50 train for New York. "
Stephen put the clock at the head of his bed and
sank with serenity into slumber. So did the
Governor, who was awakened next morning by a
tremendous knocking at his door. "All right.
Stephen" he cried. But Stephen, in tone of
intense sorrow, replied: Governor, it's 630
now. I'm sorry, sir, but l didn't hear the
alarm"
"Dd you wish to get up. Alonzo, when that
alarm went off, said Mrs Cornell the most
wide-awake and thorough helpmeet that any
Governor within the recollection of man has
been blessed with
why, should say So" replied the Governor;
and then he told of the Importance of the en-
gagement he had missed.
''You shouldn't keep any political secrets from
your wife," she said 81 heard the alarm, and
blessed the malefactor who aroused the house at
that time Of night. but didn't know you wished
to get up or | would have awakened you"
There was no other train until too late.
Roscoe Conkling was switched into the contest
again by his lieutenants. Governor Cornell al
ways said he would have advised Conkling not
to enter the race had he been there. He sent a
note explaining the absence, but the imam of
blood and iron" declined to accept the story of
the clock To one member of the Spartan band
who voted for him throughout the hopeless
fight Mr.. Conkling said that he Mr.. Cornell)
had tried to explain his conduct by an allusion

McCormick,s Idle workmen.

CHICAGO, Feb. 23.-The locked out men of the
Mccormick reaper works have at last made de-
cided move looking toward a settlement of the
difficulties existing between their employers and
themselves. Not having heard officially from
Mr.. Mccormick since he closed his factory, they
determined to-day to send to him committee
with full power to act in the premises and to see
if the present condition of affairs could not be
Strengthened out Many of the men, it is claim
ed, are entirely out of sympathy with certain
agitators, and have been urging the leaders to
take this action. Numbers of them can ILL
afford to lie idle, and the cost Of the
support of such large contingent
of men would fall heavily on the Knights Of La
Dor. 1t was finally decided to send a committee
to Mr.. Mccormick to day. This committee con-
ssts of five Knights Of labor, five metal workers
and three molders. but it was question with
them whether Mr.. Mccormick would receive
them; SO, to avoid any bitches, one of the com
mittee was selected to communicate with Mr.
Mccormick and. see if he was willing to nego
tate. This committeeman learned that McCor-
mick would not be in his Office until IL A. to-
morrow. and at that hour, or soon after, it was
agreed to open negotiations for settlement

Men WHO F1eece tho TaIlors.

The merchant tailors of New York keep
q large book containing the names of 1900
fashionably dressed men who seldom or
never pay their tailor bills. These two
regiments of the fashionably dressed are
divided into three classes: "The Slow Pay
Glass;" 'Thc Undesirable Glass; and
s'The Worthless Class" Each merchant
tailor has ledger containing copy of this
list and frequently consults it. In each
fashionable tailor shop from 5 to $50 per-
sons get clothes for nothing in the course
of single year. The names of these peo-
pie would make large elite directory.
The Merchant Tailors' association, It is
said, proposes to advertise for sale in the
daily newspapers the tailor bills Of this
brigade Of fashionable but non-paying
customers. "Most of the men who fleece
the tailors," said q New York merchant
tailor, recently, "are idle and fashionable
