Ladies without Escorts.
Special TO the Glope.

Special 10 the GIoDe.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-The announce
ment that Miss Cleveland actually went to
the theater without q gentleman escort, in
stead of shocking the society people in other
cities, seemed TO be just in line with the
prevailing custom. The managers of the
Philadelphia theaters have, been talked to
on the subject and say it is a common and
growing custom there One of them is
quoted as saying:
You'd would be SURPRISED to see the ladies
who come TO both OF our houses without es-
corts. The custom has grown up in the last
five years, and now there's not night passes
bnt that ten from fifty ladies come TO the
opera house in that manner. There Is no i'm
propriety in il. Only last week, during the
engagement OF RosIna Vokes, there were a
number of theater parties composed ex-
olusivelv of ladies 4" -...

A CENTRAL FIGURE.
The Deep Interest Everybody Takes
in Secretary Pruden.
Stirring scenee at the Capitol on HIS
Arrival.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-Maj. o. l..
Pruden, the assistant secretary at the
White house. is always central figure at
the capitol. His coming is more eagerly
looked for than that of any other man.
Every day you will hear the fat telegraph
operator in the office of the chief clerk of
the senate asked: 'Is Pruden coming up
to-day?" When he makes his appearance
there is a general tlutter There's Pruden,"
goes round the word, and Immediately
everybody is on the qui vive. The occu-
pants of the press gallery rush out into the
writing room adjoining the gallery. a rush
down stairs, the senators and members of
the house prick up their ears and the
loungers in the lobby hurry TO the
Office of the chief clerk. Pruden always
brings TO the capitol all the executive COM
municati0ns. the messages, the vetoes and
the nominations to Office. Hence there is
always
GREAT CURIOSITY
to know what are the contents of the mys-
terious package which he brings so closely
guarded and presents in open senate with
the stereotyped announcement that he
presents ''sundry messages in writing from
the president of the United States" He
always bring for the accommodation of the
ever-anXiOus press list in manifold" of
the nominations. and the moment he has
safely delivered the nominations themselves
to the senate he gives these lists to a wait
ing page, who darts to the Office of the chief
clerk with them. followed by the anxious
crowd of Office-seekers who are waiting to
see if their names or the names of their
friends are sent i'm. The sheet is laid on a
long table in one of the offices and the
crowd gathers around it. On some faces
you see CLEAN of triumph, on q majority
of them a look of disappointment, either
because their hated rival has triumphed
over them or because of the
HEARTsICKNEss
which comes of the "hope long deferred" :"
Meantime another list has been carried up
to the writing room adjoining the press gall
lery. The occupants gather around this,
hastily jot down on convenient scraps of
paper the names of especial interest
to their respective locality, rush
to the telegraph Office, few
feet away, and in jiffy the names and the
offices to which they are nominated are fly
ing over the wires, bringing gladnesS or
madness to hearts thousands of miles away.
Meantime Pruden takes his weary way, no
longer an object of interest. to his carriage,
waiting at the door. passes down the ave-
nue up TO the White house. and to his desk.
where he buries himself until the routine of
another day makes him again the cynosure
of all eyes, the bearer of sealed messages,
whose presence again makes every heart
| quicken.

Der of congress when he entered the organ
ization he saw no improperly In q mem
bers entering such an enterprise. Mr..
Raney inquired if the witness regarded it
as proper for a member of congress to ac-
cept gift. The witness with some heat
denied that his interest was gift. He had
agreed To pay whatever assessment was
necessary To develop an unknown quantity.
Mr. Edmunds inquired If the witness had
ever used his official connection TO further
the interests of the Pan-Electric company.
None on the face OF God Almighty's
earth.' said the witness, slapping energet-
cally the back of the chair upon which he
leaned, "and no man can look me In the face
and say SO. would cut NV hand of at the
wrist before would do such thing"
The witness was asked II he had said
anything to Mr.. Garland since the Begin
ming of the proceedings at the department.
He replied that after Secretary Lanars final
decision he had called 10 see Mr.. Garland
and asked in his opinion il he (witness)
should mention his connection with the
Pan-electric to Secretary Lamar. and Mr.
Garland had replied that il would be a very
proper thing to do and witness had there
upon informed the secretary. That was all
the conversation he had with Mr.. Garland
about the matter. He had told the secre-
tary that If his connection with the COM
pany caused the slightest embarrassment he
(witness) wanted the secretary to say so,
and lie could not be tied in his position.
Secretary Lamar had replied that he could
see nothing that witness had done that
was essentially wrong. and he could attend
TO his official duties. Witness stated that
he knew nothing of the bringing of the gov
eminent suit. He felt greatly outraged. he
said, by the newspaper publications to the
effect that he had been chairman of the ap-
preparations committee when the company
had been organized. In this connection
witness denounced in the most emphatic
terms some articles which had appeared in
the New York World. ii. U. SiXas of
New Orleans then took the stand and re-
lated the well-knOwn circumstances leading
up to the beginning of the government suit.

INDIANAPOLIS Ind, April 2.-Prepara-
tiOns will begin Monday for the execution
on Thursday next of Phillips, who cut his
wife's throat last July in a public alley in
this city, and Immediately afterward tried
to cut his own, which he so mangled that
he has been living ever since with an air
tube in his throat. A very peculiar petit
tion, signed by several hundred persons,
was to-day presented to the governor in
his behalf After reciting the circum-
stances OF the murder, the petition con-
cludes:
If he is executed by hanging, as the sem
tence and the law require, the moose neces-
sarily encircling his neck above the opening
of the tube will in no wise produce strangu-
lation, or in any way interfere with his respi-
ration, and thus death must necessarily en-
sue from sheer PHYSICAL exhaustion, and not
otherwise. unless from decapitatIon; that
such an execution would be an outrage on
civilization aud simply barbarous. In the in
tereSt OF humanity and the enlightened civil
izatiou, your petitioners would therefore pray
the communication of such sentence to impris-
Onment for life.

BRADSTREET,S REPORTS
Show an Unsatisfactory Condition
of Trade.

NEW YORK, April Especial telegrams
to Bradstreet's report less satisfactory
condition of general trade than last week,
due in large part to the continuation Of
strikes in various industrial ceDters, as well
as to the interruption of railway traffic in
the Southwest. Floods in the Central,
Southern and Western states have helped
to depreSs trade through the destruction Of
bridges and oyert1OwIng of country roads.
At large Eastern cities the volume of mer-
chandlse moving is of only moderate pro-
portions. At Western centers the demands
are quite as much for nearly wants as they
were week ago. In general. it may be-
stated that the progress made thus far
during 1866 has been disappointing. though
at Chicago and some other cities the total
sales of staple goods for the first quarter Of
1856 are said to fully equal those of the
first quarter in 1885. Bad roads are very
generally reported throughout the country,
and collections from interior traders are
slow. In Kansas and Missouri collections
are not expected to improve until new
crops are gathered and sold. Money Is
only in fair demand at most points, and the
markets rule easy at unchanged rates. I'M
provement in general trade is mentioned at
ST. Louis and Kansas City, due to resump-
ton of traffic there. The iron industry
continues depressed by the check to indus
trial enterprises by strikes. Anthracite
coal is firm at the advance and in better
demand. The coal pool hasn't arranged per
centages for 1886 yet. The industrial situ-
alton is better in spite of the prolongation
of the fight between the railroads and the
Knights of Labor.
OTHER STRIKES.
10 ly,,iffipcr mill efrilyac Nohoo. ~.I
New Britain, Conn.,, the boot and shce
strike at Beverly, Mass, and that among
the suitmakers at New York have largely
disappeared, putting $4,000 operatives at
work and cutting down the total striking
from 90, 900 to SO, 900 within week. There
is. however. a possibility of another out
break at COhoes. Light consumptive de-
mand continues to depress sugar prices,
but mild coffees are higher. Only fair sales
of dry goods are reported, the movement
being smaller. Stocks in first hands are
small and prices with few exceptions are
firm. Prints are off 1-16 to &c for
Gas. The wheat market is only
moderately firm despite the freer sales
for export. Late takings by Italy Of
about 200, 900 bushels are significant, as
our grain shipments heretofore have been
chiefly Indian corn. Bradstreet's reports
of visible supplies of wheat east of the
Rocky mountains March % show decline
of but 6.257. 600 bushels Jan. 1 against
S,657, 900 bushels decline reported by the
New York produce exchange. Visible
stocks of flour amount to LISA, 900 barrels,
or 10000 barrels more than on Jan. 1.
There are no authentic reports of damage
to winter wheat yet. Not much spring
wheat planting has been done.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-There is de-
termined effort being made to push through
bill increasing the compensation of the
pOstmasters at the smaller offices. A dele
cation, representing the postmasters of the
country, is here for the purpose of urging
the bill in question, which amends the
present law by increasing third-class post
masters in the benefits afforded the second
class and providing that the department
shall defray Office expenses. 1t also makes
a change in law providing for the issuing
of money orders, making more equitable
division between the department and the
postmaster. They require postmaster to
give bond of from $4,000 to $1,000 and
the commissions allowed do not run higher
than from so cents to 81. The postmasters
say it takes about One-third of their time to
attend to that class of business. The bill
also provides that fourth-class postmasters
shall get 100 per cent of the first 500 can
collation., instead OF $50 cancellation, as at
present.
