The above request was psrsuas-
lively made by a sixteen-year-old
maiden as she was preparing fol
school one fine spring morning. The
refusal came from the parent in a curt
Indifferent tone. The disappointed
girl went to school. The father start

way thither he met friend, and being
"hale-felio ". well.met," invited him
into Macs for drink. AS usual
there were others; and the man that
could not spare his daughter fifty cents
for hat treat ed the crowd. When
about to leave he laid half dollar or

drinks. Just then the saloonkeeper {
daughter entered, and going behind
the bar, said: Papa, want fifty
cents for my spring hat.
"All right" says the dealer, and
taking up the half-dollar from the
counter, hands it over to the girl, who
departs smiling.
Mays father seemed dazed. He
walked out, alone. and said to him.
self: Il had to bring my fifty cents
here for the rumseller's daughter to

my own daughter. I'll never drink
another drop" And he kept his word.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. %. - The
Hendricks club was addressed by the
Hon. Joseph e. Macdonald, who gave
what is considered to some extent the
authoritative presentation of the issues
from the Democratic side. Mr.. MacDon-
aid had given much attention to the
preparation of his speech, and said that
it was the only written Gle he would de-
liver during the campaign. The room in
which the club met was small, bnt some
300 or 40O members gathered there, and
throughout the evening warmly ap-
plauded the distinguished speaker, es-
pecially when he eulogized the Demo
cratic candidates. His speech was de-
voted to the tariff issue, in defining

message was the great force.
From this came the Mills bill, which
has received more unqualified %denuncia-

is the only Measure before congress up
to this time proposing any reduction

cleYeland.s GIFT.

WARRINGTON, Aug. 2s.-Concerning
the reported $40, 600 contribution of the
president to the Democratic campaign
fund, Col. Lamont made the following
statement: "
I don't see anything very startling
about that story. 1t is well known that
the president has always openly and
above board been In. the habit of making
such contributions as his means justified
toward ~defraying the necessary legiti-
mate expenses of his party's campaigns,
whether he has been a candidate for Of
flee or not, and this year is not likely to
be an exception. The expenses for docu-
ments, meetings, ETC., in a national
campaign covering the whole country
run up into the hundreds of thousands
of dollars. Somebody must pay, and
none could be expected to more cheer
fully do so han those who are supposed
to have o personal interest in their
party's success. The president will, as
heretofore, assist the Democratic party
in this manner as far as he thinks fair
and proper, just as l suppose Gen. Har-
rison and Gen. Fiske will aid the Repub-
lican and Prohibition parties. l don't
know what sum he Will give, and / don't
understand that any of my business, but
! am quite sure that the sum you men
ton $50, 600 is not unusually large.

YELLOW FEVER.
The Ravages of the Disease for the

~ -"
Month Summarized.
JACKSONVILLE; Fla, Aug. 2S.-To-day
ends the first of the month of the exist
ence of yellow fever here. The record is
as follows: Total cases, LOT; deaths,
II; discharged cured, 2S; under treat
ment, w, many of whom are GONZALES
cent. The sensational stories of the sup
presslou of news of cases by the authori-
ties are utterly false. Possibly a few
cases have not been reported by family
doctors, but these are offset by cases re-
ported that are not typical yellow fever
cases. No deaths have been
suppressed. Despite the ~unfavora-
BILE weather, it having been clear
and hot during the day, only seven new
cases have been reported. One of these
was brought from the camp at st. Mary's
and died. There have been two other
deaths. Outside Of Jacksonville every
death occurring here is attributed to vel
low fever. There is great indignation at
the shutting off Of middle Georgia. Poll
tical work is much hampered by the
fever scare. Both the Democratic and
Republican candidates have been quar-
antined, Capt. Fleming at Monticello
and Coz. Shipman at his home In Sawtey,
for ~haruoring relatives who are refugees
from this city. The copditions neces-
sary to the rapid spread OF the epidemic,
are not thought to be favorable and hopes
are entertained that the gales which will
soon begin will have a healthful effect.

Known that the president has always

don't know what sum be will give, and
don't understand that it is q OF my

sum you mention ($l0, 000) is BOT IN
usually large"
To the further question as to whether
or not the story published was true, the
colonel refused to reply, saying:
That is ali I have to say on the sub
jeot. I think the statement published
to the effect that such large sums have
not been given before is ell nonsense.
The Critic says: President Cleveland
is not alone in his contribution to the
campaign fund, says the World. HIS
check for $40 600 has been "seen" by
Chairman Brioe, who goes him $4,000
better, and Congressman w. L. Scott

Protective Tariff and the Latter
Condemns 1t as Robbery of
the People.

VAUDEVILLE, Me-, Aug. 2s.-Mr.
| Blaine addressed an audience of about
1900 but made only q short speech, owing
to b~oarseness. He addressed himself
principally to workingmen, dwelling
upon the injury which would be done
them should the presidents tariffs policy
be carried into effect. Mr.. Blaine then
| referred to President Cieyeland's mes
sage upon the Canadian treaty as a mere
scheme to divert the attention of the
American people from the question of
protection, and to stop as much us pos
| sible the popular discussion of that SUBJ
ject, which he feared would only
strengthen the Republican position. In
his present spirit, he said, the presi-
dent will be satisfied with
nothing that does not put courage in his
administration and protective tariff out
of the minds of the people. The speaker
believed that congress would not
crafty the president and that the Amer
lean people would put the question over
till next year, by which time the Repub-
lican administration will be in power,
when the QUESTION could be equitably
settled, He expressed sympathy with
Senator Morgan of Alabama, and Hon.
VIM. L. Putnam of Maine, In their eff
forts to second the president. While Mg.
Putnam is advocating a peace policy in
the fishing negotiations, the president
takes the ground from under his feet by
asserting loudly ''that we must have a
go at Canada, with a vengeance, one and
ALL" Then, with a side glance the presi-
dent intimates to them, Don't be
alarmed; there won't be a bit of this
row with Canada after election"
Concluding, Mr.. Blaine said; 1.-THE
presidents machine is contrived to run
about seventy days, but it will surely
work without harm to men in front of
it, and may / add that it is admirably ar
ranged to kick and kill the men behind
it.'
Mr.. Blaine left for Augusta immedi-
ately after the close of the speech.
