hundred members and solicited them to attend

stated that the object Of the meeting was to in
dorse Governor Gray's candidacy for the vice.
presidential nomination. and every m was
earnestly requested to be present. When the

had responded to the call. First, an effort was
made to introduce a resolution directly in
dorsink Governor Gray for the vice-presidency.
and this failing. a resolution, very mild in form,
was presented. coinciding with the action OF the
State convention in its Endorsement of Gray.
There was bitter opposition even to this temper

A.Parade and Review in Which There Was No
Place for Our Greatest Living Soldier.

New YORK, June Those in charge OF the
Memorial day celebration in this city seem to
have been possessed with a genius for blunder-
ing. Mayor Hswitts absence from the grand
stand was noticed, and IL now transpires that
he was rot invited. The fact that General
Sherman's well known face was not seen in any
place of prominence also excited comment, aud
now it is learned that he not only was not in
vited. but when he sent a request for q ticket to
the exercises at the METROPOLITAN Opera-houss
in the evening be was CURLY informed that all
the seats were sold. As the press reported the
slight TO the General, he has published a letter
IN which he makes a plain statement OF tne case.
In closing he makes a suggestion which Will %
Of interest TO all. He says:
And now i address my comrades OF the Grand
Army. which made these civic ceremonies posi-
bic, as .one OF themselves-not claiming any
privileges by reason of exalted rank3 and hon
os far above my desert-if it 10 not better that
We should devote Decoration day to the ceme-
teries which contain our honored dead and the
dedication or permanent monuments In their
honor for the teaching OF patriotism to future
generations, instead OF swelling street parades
and pageants for the glorifcation Of the '~belliger-
ent on-combatants' who make use Of us for
their own purposes"
The officials of the Grand Army OF the Re-
public declare that General Sherman WAS in
vlted to review the procession, and they exhibit

the invitation and declining it on

A Neat Bit of Surgery Performed in o Chicago
Cigar-Shop By an Injured Husband.

CHICAGO, June la queer little scene was
witnessed in the cigar store in the Adams ex-
press building this evening. Against one Of the
showcases leaned a fashiohably-dressed young
man. intently engaged in writing . note, and
chuckling to himself between his airy whiffs
of a cigarette. Presently the door Of the
store opened and In walked q gentle
man of businessliks appearance, who
calmly stepped MP to the counter. and.
taking q penknife from his pocket, sliced off the
first geutleman's ear. The penknifs and the ear
were neatly and quickly placed in the second
Corners vest pocket. and he, having apparently
transacted his business in full, stepped briskly
outside and o moment later was lost in the
crowd. The gentleman whose ear was gone
seemed somewhat taken aback. He, however,
without delay, thrust his writing into mis-
pocket. and without any comment made his exit.
At The Hotel Grace. soon afteward. messengers
were being sent out in all directions looking for
Mr.. James Bell, q young business man who
resides in Hyde Park. The messengers were in
structed to, quietly as possible, induce Mr.. Bell,
If they could. TO return an ear which he had
taken from one of the hotel guests. Mr.. John
Stevens. a young man about town. 1t was
thought IL the ear could be expedition ly recov-
cred. it might be replaced In its old position
without detriment eventually to it's owner. Mr..
Bell, however, had rot left word where he could
be found. The surgical project was abandoned,
and the case put in the hands of the police.
They intimated to the reporters that Mr.. Bell
thought Mr.. Stevens had led Mrs Bell asrrsy.

PHILADELPHIA. June L-Dr. William Pepper,
provost of the University OF Pennsylvania, re-
turned to the city this afternoon from his visit
to Washington, where he was called In con-
sultation by the physicians attending General
Sheridan. Dr.. Pepper expresses q somewha
hopeful view of General Sheridsn's condition.,
and says that although desperately Ill there
may be q chance Of recovery. When seen this
afternoon DR.. Pepper said: al left General Shsr-
idan at half past s this morning and the bulletin
issued at that hour exactly states his
condition. The attack Of heart failure which
he had yesterday afternoon was apparently the
worst he has had yet. On this and several
other occasions he has been rescued and rallied
only by the vigorous and determined efforts OF
treatment appears TO me to have been most
j~udicious and TO have been carried out nth .
rare degree of devotion and efficiency. The
efforts OF the physicians have been seconded
by the splendid pluck and endurance
or the General. this constituting O
highly favored feature of the case. On the
whole, his condition is a desperately i'll one, but
not hopeless. The attack has been precipitated
by his overexertion during bis last official visit
to the West. when. in discharge of his duty in in
specting posts, he utterly exhausted himself by
hard work during the day and by travelling at
night. Still. we must hold to the element OF
hope that if these dreadful spells of hear. failure
can be averted, his nervous system and heart
may gradually gain tone and PULL him through"
DIR. Pepper, when seen this evening. said that
he had just received a telegram from DR.. r. NJ.
O'Reilly, which stated that there had been no
failing during the day, nor had there been any
return Of the symptoms indicating more i'm
mediate danger. "Dr. OfReilly's telegram"
said the Doctor, ''shows that General Sheridan's
recuperatlve powers are not exhausted, and
therefore. il no fresh attacks of heart failure
ensue. his vitality and endurance will pull him
through. Owing TO a complication of very
bad heart action, with very serious congestion
and edema OF the lungs. it is impossible TO say
alarming symptoms. These have been held in
check solely by powerful remedies and toll
Fortunately these remedies are acting very
kindly, but hope in the case is based upon the
ability to keep up bis nerve power and heart
action, in this way, for some days longer, until
the tendency to attacks Of heart failure has
passed over.n
