ATTACKED WITH SICKNESS.

fudge Thurman Prevented From Address
ing an Immense Audience at Madison
Square Garden.
NEW YORK, Sept. 7.-Madison Square
garden, the great structure which covers
an entire block between Fourth and Madi-
son avenue, covered e mighty swarm or
people last night on the occasion OF the
Democracy's reception to Allen q. Thur
man. and when its holding capacity was
exhausted it served as center TO many
thousands of people who were addressed
by speakers upon stands at each corner OF
the building. A panic was almost created
by an unnecessary alarm concerning the
stability of the galleries.
Calvin S. Brice called the meeting to or
der, and introduced Hon. Roswell r.
Flower, the first speaker.
While Mr.. Flower was still speaking the
crowd near the Madison Square entrance
began to cheer and the cheer swelled and
ran to the body of the hall, down the
Fourth avenue wall, completely
drowning the voice of the speaker
as they announced the coming OF hr.
Thurman. As he made his way to the
platform the cheers were redoUbled, han
danas were waved and the band struck M
"Hail to the Chief"
Mr.. Flower who had not attempted TO
continue his speech at once introduced Mr.
Thurman, saving: "Fellow citizens
have the honor to introduce to you the Old
Roman, Allen G.. Thurman"
As Mr. Thurman stepped forward to tie
speakers stand and stood erect there,
wiping the perspiration from his face with
the famed bandana, the widest excite
ment followed. Every one having seat
s.ood upon it. Bandanas and flags were
waved and the crowd cheered aga u,
drowning into a muffied sound the strains
Of the band.
The cheering continued for fully five
minutes, and then, in voice so feeble that
only those within few feet OF him could
tell except by the motion of mis- lips that
he was speaking, the Judge said: Mr..
Chairman, ladies and gentlemen: 1t has
been said by the Republican papers since
] was nominated for the Fice-PresidencE,
that Alien G.. Thurman is an old, fran,
decrepit and broken-down man. dc
not know that | should reply 70 this. a.
though | well know that l am in no condI-
ton tonight to speak to an immense iu-
dience such as this. However, L want to
speak. and in spite of illness, | am almost
induced 10 make the attempt lbeg leave,
however. to withdraw, and thank you for
your kind reception"
A hush fell upon the assemb!age as ali
saw that the hero of the evening was try
ing to speak to them, but was unable 10 do
so. Colonel Brice and Mr.. Flower stepped
forward, and each taking Mr.. Thurman 10y
the arm, assisted him back FROM the
Speakers stand. He was almost faint
ing, and for a few minutes was toe
sick to be removed from the build
ing. When he had recovered sufficiently
he was taken in a carriage directly 70 the
ladies' entrance of the Fifth Avenue Hotel
accompanied by Messrs. brice and Barnum
and his son, Allen W. Thurman, and was
conducted to his room and attended hV
DR.. Goldthwaite, the hotel physician, who
applied remedies and later said that the
distinguished patient would be all right IN
an hour or two.

THE INDIVIDUAL SOUL.
4 Psychological Reverie Worthy OF
Thoughtful Consideration.

4 Psychological Reverie Worthy or
Thoughtful Consideration.
You fancy that you are inseparable
from your husband, your wife, your
child. Yet, after all, how near one
another are you? Apart you are by
all breadth and spaces of individuality.
You sit before each other and If you
were walled up alive and alone you
could hardly be more inaccessible to
each other, more remote from each
other. Have you the least idea what
is passing in that brain before you
what memories, in which you have
no share, at this moment sweep
through it? What old sorrow, gloom
ing again at some chance encounter of
sound or scent, casts its shadow over
the eye for an instant, and you have
no sympathy with it. What old Joy
makes the heart beat more quickly
and you know nothing of it! With
the best desires for union, for complete
knowledge of each other, for absolute
confidence, for life melting into life,
thousand inextricable, inexplicable
little threads catch and hold you in
their meshes, imprisOn you, lead you
and keep you apart. The mother, too,
who thinks her little daughter is ut
terly at one with her, has never a
thought unshared with her, might find,
could she but penetrate the recesses
of the child's heart, life
| as distinct from the outer one
lived all unconsciously, but a necessary
fact of identity and individual develop
ment and growth, as the ripening seed
is distinct from the corolla OF the
flower. Many of these souls desire
and long to approach each other, to
become part each of the other, to
lay aside this loneliness. But yet it is
in loneliness they must tread the wine
press of their sufferings, only in less
loneliness must drink their draugh1
| of ioy-a loneliness that can only be
laid aside with life, if even then. And
the most awe-inspiring fact of all this
loneliness is the loneliness of death al
last, the going down alone into the
depths of the dark river, the proof o.
it's cold waters, the moment wher
neither pitying face nor loving lip:
nor helping hand can reach us. the en-
trance into the unknown; alone but fol
the trust that we came into this worlC
only to be met with loving arms, it /:
loving arms again that shall meet u:
there; alone unless great hope walk:
with us, hope which must also have
walked with us here if we would have
it's companionship when the waters
close around us, without which thu
loneliness is indeed appalling, but will
which it ceases to be known, or to b.
felt. or to exist.-Harper's Bazdr.

THE STRICKEN CITY.

The Yellow Fever Growing Worse in Jack
sonyilIe - Complaint OF the Afflicted
People.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept. " esterday
was the gloomieSt day Of the epidemic, as
the death roll was Unexpectedly large.
When DR.. Neal Mitchell entered the exec
utive committee ro&ms in the morning and
announced six deaths since the previous
evening and that some of the patients had
died for the want of skilled nurses, the
Board of Health was authorized to send to
New Orleans for as many nurses as might
be needed who had recommendations from
the president of the State Board of Health,
the executive committee TO pay charges.
The gloomiest approximations are felt
here and the bitterness of the policy that
has shut men and women in who could
have been sent to places Of safety two
weeks ago had consistent and well Or
dered plan been adopted is intense.

KANSAS CROPS.
A Rather Favorable Report of the Kansas
Farmer.

Farmer.
Topeka, Kan, Sept. 5.-The Kansas
Farmer this week presents a very full re-
port of crops covering the entire State,
made up of short letters from special cor
respondents This shows that the State
has not been in as good condition since
1884, unless it be in the number of hogs,
which was reduced greatly last year.
With the exception of half u dozen coun-
ties lying on and near the great bend of
the Arkansas the State is in good condition.
Corn in many parts is very heavy-in some
parts the heaviest ever raised in the history
Of Kansas. With all the shortages in GER
tain localities the crop for the State as a
whole will probably prove to be the
heaviest ever grown. Wheat though some
what injured by insects in places will
average eighteen to twenty bushels per
acre and the quality is generally
good. Oats were a little short in some To-
calities, but with the greatly increased
acreage the crop was very large. No &C
curate estimate of the yield can be made
because great deal is being fed without
threshing. Sorghum is good where ever
grown and the same is true of millet,
maize and kaffir corn. Broom corn has
done very well in the western counties.
Apples, pears and small fruit have yielded
we'll Grass is growing well yet and stock
is in first-class condition. The wheat
acreage will be increased. In the western
part of the State seeding is now in progress
and the ground is in good condition. Kan
sas crops, with the exceptions noted above,
are in prime condition.

A Horse Defends a Goat.

A remarkable illustration of the sa-
gacity of the horse reaches the Bir-
mingham (England) Mail from elliott
Road, Edgbaston. A man named Gill
hey, a coal dealer and hauler, rents a
field there, in which horse and goat
have been in the habit of running. Re-
Gently a gang of young roughs from
the Ickneid Port Road have amused
themselves by throwing stones at the
goat, and some of the more cowardly
of the ruffians beat it with stick.
Whenever the goat has been attacked
in this way the horse has always raced
to its rescue, and few days ago ne
seized one of the young rascals by the
coat collar and flung him clean over
the hedge into the road.

BLAINE ON RETALIATION.
He Thinks Every Thing Should BE POST
poned Until After the Election.

poned Until After the Election.
NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-The Nail and En-
press correspondent at Ellsworth, Me-, has
obtained Mr.. Blaine's view On the fishery
policy as follows: 1.-THE fishing season is
over. Nearly all the American vessels
have returned and Canada will have none
to operate upon until the summer of 1889.
In the meantime any thing she may or
may not do is matter of supreme indif-
ference to the fishermen; therefore it is
better not to clothe the present President
with any additional powers, since he has
shown his utter incompetency to deal with
the general subject, but let him carry
out the present law as he is bound
to do and and this alone may bring
Canada to her senses and secure US
Justice at her hands. For Republicans
to vote for the bill reported by Mr.. Bel
mont's committee in the House would be
confession by them that the Presidents re-
fusal to carry out the law was justified
and would put power in his hands which
he would WELD for partisan purposes. 1t
is much better to let the matter lie over till
the new Administration shall come in, which
will be better prepared to handle the mat
ter free from the excitementS of our pend
ing political contests and in ample time to
protect every interest. To allow the pres
ent row to stop the export business of Can
ada through the United States would seri-
ously interfere with several of our trans
portation lines, especially those leading to
Portland and correspondingly depress the
entire commerce of that port. 1t would
also afford Canada pretext for increas-
| ing her demands in retaliation for such
inhibition and render more difficult the
general settlement by negotiation. Tho
rights of the Pacific coast should also be
RENTED to the new Administration"

BATTLE OF THE BAGS.

Looking to lndia FOR hefp IN rIShtinS INC
Tagging Trust.
GALVESTON, Tex, Sept. 4.-Under the
rail of the president of the Cotton Ex-
change, an informal meeting of cotton
factors was held at the exchange to-day.
Over half of the Galveston factors were
present. The meeting was for the purpose
of discussing the oagging trust, and pro-
viding, if possible, some relief to Texas
farmers in escaping its extortions. 1t was
decided to relegate the matter to the direc-
tory of the exchange, who will meet to-
morrow to further consider the matter. 1t
is understood that in Galveston the move.
ment will result in an effort to import bag
cling from India and furnish it to the
Texas trade at cheaper prices than under
the present combination, providing assu-
RANGES can be had that the farmers will
properly protect a movement looking to
their relief by guaranteeing purchase OF
the stock thus provided. There was time
when American cotton growers used India
bagging exclusively, and, while not so
good as that now manufactured in Amer
ia, its cheapness renders it an available
lever for breaking up the present baSging
combination.

HUNTING THE CARIBOU.
A Sport That Calls tor Discretion, Coolnes
and Considerable Skill.

Sport That Calls tor Discretion, Goodness
and Considerable Skill.
At this season of the year he ap-
proaches every little patch of water
against the wind, and with the feel
ings of ticket-holder at a lottery
drawing. Should he be in luck, he by
no means opens fire at once. The herd
derives its impulse from its leader, as
the steam-engine does from the en-
gineer. Withdraw either from his
control, and though the power is still
there, that which gave it direction is
gone. So, hardly breathing under the
intense excitement of the moment, he
studies the movements of the herd
with the keenest attention. Having
selected his victim, a well-dlrected
bullet knocks it sprawling on the ice.
In an instant all is confusion. The
herd circle around their fallen leader,
totally at loss what to do, until some
other assumes the place OF the fallen,
and all break for the shelter of the
woods. If the hunter is then a quick
and sure shot, the interval is not I'M
improved.
But if the pond is small and closely
surrounded with forest and hill, the
first shot echoes from the opposite side
with a distinctness which should be
heard to be fully appreciated, and re-
echoes again and again. The startled
herd seem confronted in every direc-
ton by explosions, and every avenue
Of escape appears closed. Utterly de-
moralized they circle about. swinging
their heads from side to side, shifting
the air in the vain endeavOr to locate
the danger and divine the path to safe
ty. If the rife be then in the hands
of butcher and not a sportsman, all
may fall before driven to desperation
to take any chance for the sake OF COW
er, one bursts for the woods. The
rest, If any, instantly follow this ini-
tiative, and many and many mile will
intervene before the pace slackens to a
walk.-Henry P. Wells, tn Harper'S
Magazine.

names of John P. Boogher, of the Wear
Boogher Dry-goods Company, and Of
Simon Boogher, of the Observation-Disclosures
amounting to about $500. Ferris has &
rather unsavory record and he has con-
fessed that the Endorsements on the notes
were forged, but declares that his partner
is equally guilty. d. r. Boogher admits
having Endorsed his own name on the
notes.
