The Secretary of State Grows Angry Over the
Antics of His Pet Diplomatic.
Washington Special.
Amusement was caused to-day by City of
Mexico dispatch saying that Special Envoy Sedg-
wick had been much chagrined by the receipt of
dispatch from Secretary Bayard peremptorily
instructing him to proceed to Chihuahua. Not
withstanding its frequent protestations regard
ing Sedgwicks ability to keep sober, the State
Department is said to have become alarmed at
his whole-soulsd participation in Mexican hospi-
tally. Every day report comes of some din
ner in his honor. Though Mr.. Sedgwck prom
ised his Mexican friends to return and take part
in the festivities of Independence Day. when a
grand ball is to be given in honor of President
Dlaz. it is not likely he will be permitted to do
So Peremptory instructions will probably fetch
him home as soon as he gets through
the investigation at Chihuahua and Paso
del Norte. When he returns there will
be much curiosity to learn the nature of his
report One of the many equivocal tales of the
State Department has been that Sedgwck was
not special envoy at ALL but merely messen-
ger sent out to gather facts, and that his report
TO Secretary Bayard would be a verbal one. If
this proves to be the case the mission will turn
out even more ridiculous than has been sup
uosed

The President at saranac Inn.

SARANAc INN, N. Y, Sept. 8-Little has been
done by the members of the Presidents party
to-day beside resting comfortably in the shade
and recovering from the fatigue of their long
carriage drive. Toward shutdown the President s
guide persuaded him to make a trip to Turtle
Pond in the belief that salmon trout or two
might be beguiled into taking the hook. For
once guide Crouk's predictions were not verified.
Trout no longer rise to the fly, and trolling will
continue to yield unsatisfactory results so long
as the water is as warm as it now is. Mrs.
Cleveland and Mrs. Folsom busted themselves
in the afternoon in afixing their autographs to
the birch bark albums of the ladies whose &C.
euaintance they have made at Saranac Inn. If
the necessary arrangements can be completed q
deer hunt will probably take place here this
week, the President and his friends stationipg
themselves at the various lakes between here
and Paul Smiths.

Atlanta Letter
Mr.. j. G. Thrower, "the Apostle of Temper
ance," who organized the Good Templars in
Georgia twenty years ago. and who has been
patient but persistent worker ever since, was
asked by me to state his plan for fighting liquor.
He said: my plan is to fight it by thorough
and systematic education of the people-to edu-
cate them up to prohibition 1t is useless to pass
a prohibition law until the people are ready for
it, If they will not vote a law upon themselves,
they will not demand the enforcement of law
that is arbitrarily put upon them by outsiders,
and the enforcement of a liquor law depends
upon the local authorities If majority of the
people of county vote that liquor shall not be
sold in their county, it is their law, and they can
see that it is enforced and they will do It, You
cannot ram prohibition down the threats of any
people. The sale is prohibited now in lob coun-
ties in Georgia and believe in five years there
will not be legalized dram shop in the State.
When came here, twenty years ago, gave
whisky twenty-five years to live. and you see
what has been done in four-ffths of that time"

Plenty of Cheap Patriots Who Wish to Sc title
Washington Irving's Three Cent Debt.
Washington Special
The late Washington Irving seems to have lots
of friends. Three persons have already for
warded to the treasury the cents charged
against Irving on the registers books. and it is
more than likely that the smalness of the
amount of indebtedness will invite many more
cheap patriots to contribute towards its extn-
guishment. 1t is remarked that no one has yet
volunteered to pay any of the accounts that run
up to dollar and over, no matter how distin-
guished the de btor is. When Washington Irv-
ing went out OF the Spanish mission he owed the
government $5275. In writing check to meet
it he inadvertently made the amount $52 IL
Nothing was said about it when the check was
received at the Treasury Department, but ever
since he has beep carried on its books debtor
in the sum of cents This is the character of
the majority of the alleged shortages, and indi-
Gates how silly the Democratic campaign COM
mittee Is to get up such stuff as evidence of Re :
publican malfeaSance and corruption.

A Hermit's Suicide.

FAYETTEVILLE N. c., Sept. 8-News has
been received here of the suicide of N. D. Mon
roe known as "Wild Neill.' He lived with an
only sister in the woods, about fifteen miles
from here. Before the war he was man of
property but lost it in the conflict. With two
brothers he served through battle, and Neill
alone survived. Returning home, he found all
in ruins. He retired to the retreat where he
has lived for twenty years, taking with him his
only sister. There he built two little huts about
ten feet square and about one hundred yards
distant. From that day the couple have never
spoke TO each other. Neill lived by hunting and
gathering roots, and always left parts of his
game at his sisters door.
On the morning of his suicide he went over
and spoke TO his sister for the first and last time
He then returned to his own cabin, took piece
of leather and cut off strap. carried the ladder
into the house, tied the strap to his neck and to
a rafter, and then jumped off. He was found
dead.

sedgwick Makes More Trouble.

St Louis Republican.
There is no room left to doubt that Consul
general Porch has been guilty of very serious
indscretion In the Sedgwick affair Even had
Mr. Sc dgwick been convicted of oil that was
charged against him it would have been highly
improper for Mr.. Porch to attend public meet
ing to denounce him, and it seems to us that in
allowing the publication of telegram addressed
to the Department of State accusing fellow
diplomatic of gross misconduct and demanding
his recall he has transgressed the rules of diplo-
matte decency. The publication has caused
serious embarrassment to the State Department,
and it will be more than can be expected of for
bearance if the offense is overlooked.
