Wanamaker stock is high here to day, es-
pecially among the few gentlemen who partic-
pated in this conversation. Plat stock is not
quite so high. In spite of Senator Quay's sat
isfaction the politicians here who are close to
Gen. Harrison believe that Warner Miller
stands higher in his estimation than any man
in New York, and they are of the opinion that
il any New York man gets q cabinet place it
will be Mr.. Miller. There is growing idea
that Senator Sherman does not desire to leave
the Senate, whatever reports there may be to
the contrary.

The cellar population of New York city
is a source of incessant disease and crime.
And with the more respectable class Of
poor, who occupy the better knd of tene-
ment houses, the packing of human beings
In those great -caravanseries is one of the
worst evils of this city. It sows pesti-
lence and breeds every species of criminal
habits. From 10000 tenement houses
comes 10 per cent. of the mortality of our
population, and l have little doubt as
much as 80 per cent. ,of the o~ffenses against
property and person.
Overcrowding is the one great misfort-
une of New York. Without it we should
be the healthiest large city in the world,
and a great proportion of the crimes which
disgrace our civilization would be nipped
In the bud. While this continues as 1t
does now. there is no possibility of a
thorough sanitary, moral and religious
reform inrour worst wards.
Few girls can grow up to maturity in
such dens as exist here and be %virtuous.
Few boys can have such places as homes
and nottbe thieves and vagabonds. In such
places typhus and cholera will always be
rife, N the deathTate will reach its most
terrfblemaximum. While the poorest pop
ulation dwell In these cellars and crowded
attics neither Sunday schools, nor
churcnes, nor charities can accomplish a
thorough reform.-Joe Howard In New
York Graphic.

Turkish wedding festivities ~lastseveral
days, during which Gypsy dancing girls
and musicians entertain hosts of women
at the home of the BRIDES parents. Much
frivolity is INDUCED in, much cigarette
smoking and coffee drinking, swarrus of
beggars are fed and bakshished at Hthe
door, and many presents received and
given. But oil this time the expectant
young Turk hasnever set eyes on his In
tended. At the beginning of the festivities
porters come to his fathers house bearing
the bulky trousseau of the bride, for the
Turkish custom Is for the, bride and her
belongings to be brought to the home of
her husband. Guests begin at once to
distribute the articles of the rousseau
about the bridal chamber, SO as to show
everything of to the best advantage.
Festivities are continued at both houses.
On the third day friends of the bride

the bride, and on the sixth the bride is
conducted to the house of her husband,
where he stands at the door to receive her

on the other hand, to give up In despair

The Negro as a F~ataIist.

Some traits are common to all members
of the negro race. The darby is yet to be
born who would not be willing to subsist
for the rest of his lifetime upon an ex-
elusive diet of pork, corn bread. cabbage,
buttermilk and watermelon. Holding
such dietary ideas, 1t follows that the
negroes must, of necessity, be fatalists.
They have no faith In the ounce of pre-
vention" theory, and look upon the idea of
taking precaution against disease as
white folks fo~olishness." No matter
how contagious the sickness. they haveno
fear of 1t; I recall an instance of a cook
who requested permission to set up with
the body of the president of her society.
1t was only at breakfast time the follow
ing morning that her mistress casually
inquired into the nature of the defunct
officers disease, and was electrified by the
careless answer, ''Black smallpox"
Scenes of sickness and death possess q
horrible fascination for them all. They
co~ngregate in and about the abode of suf-
fertng, discussing the patients symptoms,
criticising the medical treatment of the
case, uttering pious phrases and singing
their weird hymns. AS the disease nears
It's almost invariably fatal termination
they gloat over the last scenes and revel
in funereal anticipations. No sooner has
breath left the body than the clock is
stopped; the mirror, if mirror there be,
is shrouded In white, and white curtains
are hung at the doors and windows. The
corpse is kept as long as circumstances and
the police will permit, and an almost unin-
terrupted course of prayer and singing is
maintained until the hour of burial.-New
York Post

The Albanians are the most ferocious
and warlike nation in Europe and the
most courageous, not even excepting the
Greeks. The Montenegrins are the only
ones whom the Albanians feel are their
equals in. all the qualities which go to
make up a man of war. And whenever
the sultan has trouble with Montenegro
he tries to get the Albanians to help him,
and vice versa, They tear each other like
wild beasts at all times. There is no
other nation except the Greeks, which
car show such an array of splendid war
riors, for these men are real warriors in
the best and most ancient acceptance of
the term. They are not cut and dried
and drilled to measure. Each one fights
as he chooses, and if he falls it is as a
warrior should fail, covered with wounds
and fighting to the last.
Unerring m~nrksmen, trained to shoot,
to use all manner of arms, and to the
fullest development of yigor and strength,
leading abstemious lives, active and alert,
capable of u~nimagined endurance and alb
solutely fearless, it is no wonder that
these men are admired and feared by all
who have heard their exploits detailed in
the history of their oppressed and unhappy
countries. One would almost say the boys
are born with guns in their hands, as the
youngest boy you find makes pistols,
knives and guns his playthings When
other boys are scarcely past the age of
rattle boxes. Their education is the
stories of the bravery of their ancestors, of
how many Turks or other enemies they
AVE slain, and their play is to practice
with the arms placed in their dimpled
baby hands, and their ambition to become
q man to fight as did their forefathers.-

the physician who deyotes himself

MORE CLEVELAND POLICY,

The President has again exempliied
his belief In and his strong devotion to
the doctrines of the Democratic party rs
set forth in the st. Louis platform. Not
only this but he has by the same move
paid off a debt of considerable proper
tons by giving a soft place to a man who
was instrumental in whitewashing a ter
rible scandal which seemed likely to
overwhelm the Democratic party and
involve the Administration in disgrace.
The move by which the President has
thus killed two birds with one stone is
in his appointment of G. 4. Boyle. of
Pennsylvania, to be Chief Justice Of
Washington Territory IN place Of the de-
ceased Justice Jones. The appointment
of this Pennsylvania to rule over the
courts of the people Of Washington Ter
ritory win at once be recognized as q for
chile illustration of Democratic fulfill
ment of solemn pledges. But the mo-
tive behind the appointment was too
strong to admit of any strict adherence
to consistency, were that jewel yer ok
hiblted by MI. Cleveland. Mr.. Boyle is
a short, round-faced, gray-headed party
who was a member Of the Forty-ninth
Congress from the Twenty-frst district
of Pennsylvania. He was also a mem
Der of the Forty-eight Congress, and dis
tinguished himself by the finest job of
whitewashing in the interest of the DEM
ocratic party that has ever been done in
Congress, and it was in reward for this
distinguished service and to give Nh.
BOYLE some meal of support that the
President violated the pledges of his
party platform, which demands that the
Territorial offices shall be filed by Ter
ritorIal residents. Mr.. BOYLE was chair
man of the special committee which in
vestigated the Pan-Electric Telephone
scandal, which has been the chief stencil
of Mr.. Cleveland's administration, and
In which Senator Harris, Indian Com
missioner Atkins, Attorney-General Gar
land, and several lesser Democratic
lights were involved. By Boyle's fine
WOIh tic oCdIudl WIS buOtucTcu, duu q
whitewashing report made which, while
1t did not satisfy the country in any
great degree, enabled the Administra-
ton to put on a brazen front and keep
Garland in the Cabinet.
Mr.. Cleveland has doubtless long held
Mr.. Boyle's services in high regard, and
has longed for a chance to reward him
at the expense of the government for
the services rendered. He did not,
however, dare to be too fast and open in
the matter, and waited for an opportu-
nifty like the present in which he hoped
to ship BOYLE off to the far Northwest
without undue notoriety being given the
act. But he has not succeeded, and the
country win be fully informed to this
latest instance of the hypocrisy and dis
creditable methods of the Administra-
ton.

THE BLUE EARTH CONTEST.

Messrs. Ewing and Edwards are
Seated by the Credentials Com.
ST. PAUL, Sept. 6.-The first contest
taken up was Blue Earth county. The
credentials of each side were read. On
the Merriam, or rather anti-McGill men
credentials there was no chairman's
name attached, that functionary having
Withdrawn during the convention. J.. A.
Ewing, the chairman of the ~contesting
McGill-S cheffer delegation, stated bis
case, and said that 4S out Of 100 with
drew from the convention because they
could not get fair play, the chairman de-
Gliding against him on a vote whether
the convention should elect him as a
delegate or a man who had but two votes
in the first assembly district. l.. P.
Hunt, in behalf of the regular delega-
ton, read the secretary's report of the
convention proceedings. From this re-
port it appeared that the first commits
sioner's district was the only n whose
nominee, Mr.. Ewing, was not approved,
for the reason that he would not pledge
himself to vote against McGill. The re-
suit was that Mr.. Ewing and % others
withdrew and chose a second delega-
ton. The whole convention was COM
posed of 10S members. 1t was claimed
that the understanding was that the
nominations should be ratified. Prece-
dent seemed to show that this had al
ways been the rule in the county.
Another speaker from the contesting
delegation said that it was the intention
of the Mankato members of the conven-
ton that mo Scheffer man and McGill
should go to st. Paul" He said that the
farmers didn't know anything about par
liamentary law, and were so completely
mixed up that they did not know what
