There is q man in town looking
for some one to take the agency for
an invention called a stove radiator.
The scheme is simply a peculiarly
constructed drum, placed on the
stovepipe just above the stove. and
so arrests the smoke and heat as to
radiate later from that point, dead
ening the fire so as to save a third
or half the fuel, utilizing all and
yet produce abundance Of heat
equal to the fellow who didn't let
any get away. D. E. Rice and
some more of the fuel burners about
the city say its a big thing. And
then for baking purposes, why they
say the noble housewife never saw
anything to compare with it. Let
some man doing nothing take the
agency-and make a small fortune.
The question now is, who is to pay

A Change for the Better.

WASHINGTON, May 2s.-There was
a general feeling of relief IN General Sheri-
dams household this morning when the
| physicians issued their bulletin that their
had been a slight but dislinc. improvement
In his symptoms. The night was an anxious
| one. The distinguished patient seemed TO
grow weaker and weaker and his chances
| OF recovery less and less as The hours
dragged slowly along. I2deod, he was so
low In tie early hours OF the morning that
the attendants Amos; abandoned hope.
The history of the case shows that the
most dangerous time for the General Is be-
tween the hours OF 9 and o'clock In the
| morning, and this morning was no excep-
ton to the rule. All the physicians and
nurses were with him daring ths. period,
and the discouraging news that came from
the bedside from time 10 time filed the
anxious watchers with grave fears. Mrs.
Sheridan bore up hrsve'y uudcr The trying
ordeal, and though unable TO oS,y The doc
tors advice TO take some sleep, howcd rare
confidence and comrosurc.
Representatives of the press remained in
the vicinity of the house all night and re-
ccived information from the inside every
half an hour. The usual answer 10 Inquiries
at the door was that there was "no material
change In the Generals condition." To-
wards morning the reply was. 81 am sorry
TO say that the General is no better" or
"The General is not quite TO WELL" This
was the situation at S o'clock. when people
began to arrive In numbers TO inquire OF
the Generals condition.
At that hour there had been slight Inn
provement since daybreak. but the manner
OF those who gave ont the Information was
not calculated to afford callers much en-
couragemert. Many prominent officials
called in psIson and othcrslsent their serv-
ants for news.
The President sent a messenger twice
during the day and expressed the earnest
deeire TO be promptly advised OF any
change in the Generals condition. He also

Card From sherman,

NEW YORK, June Those in charge
of the Memorial Day celebration in this

us for blundering. Mayor uewitt's absence
from the grand stand was noticed, and IL

The fact that General Sherman's we'll
kn own face was not seen at any place
prominence has excited comment, ard now
it is learned that not only was he not in
vited, but vixen he made n request for a
ticket to the exercises at the Metropolitan
Opera House in the evening, he was curtly
informed that 'all the seats were sold.'
As the Press resented the slight to the
General. he has published a letter in which
he makes plain statement of the case. In
closing be makes a suggestion which will
of interest to all. He says:
And now / address my colleagues of the
Grand Army, which made these civic cere-
onies possible. As one of themselves, not
claiming anypriyileges by reason OF exalted
rank and honors far above my deserts. is ii
not better that We should devote Deco ra-
tion Day to the cemeteries which contain
our honored dead, and the dedication of a

most important in its history, certainly the
present output of smelling ore, about 100
tons a day is the greatest. The ore is al
most identical with the Mait. and HeDriett

The first accident of Importance on
the Cheyenne & Northern branch Of the
Union Pacific occurred Wednesday, when
passenger train collided with work
train. Three persons were killed outright,
two received injuries which will probably
result fatally ond four others were serious
ly injure rhe accident occurred near Bor
deau, eighty-four miles from Cheyenne. A
washout Of the road bed six miles north of
Bordeau was being repaired by the work
train, and when the aorth.bound passen-
ger train arrived at Bordeau its crew re-
ceived orders to run to the scene of the
washout with the empty engine and learn
whether the road could be used by the pas
senger train. While making this run the
engine collided with the work train, which
had finished the repairs sooner than was
expected and was returning to Bordeau at
full speed. Both engines were completely
wrecked.
w. d Reynolds, large cattle owner
of Albany, Texas, when questioned by a
reporter as to the number of cattle that had
been driven out of Texas this year, replied
that he thought $4,000. or at the outside
10000 head, was the limit of the drive,
great many of which, perhaps the major
ity, were steers going to the public land
strip and in few cases to the Northwest
ern ranges, but not over 10000 head were
breeding cattle.
AT the 6. A. r. memorial services in
Talmadge's tabernacle Sunday night Gen
eral Sherman made an address, in which he
thus feelingly cd to the sick warrior
at Washington: "Who could come here and
face such an audience, especially when the
heart is full. The lessons of the civil war of
America now are matter of history, and
can be read by any school boy. The living
are fast going, and that great soldier who is
now lying at the point of death, ask you
to offer your prayers for his recovery, and
may he live for many years. 1 am eleven
years older than he is and | may yet pre-
cede him to the tomb. l know that each
and every one of those dear soldiers who
now lie beneath the sod. if they could see
this scene tonight, would see that their
death was not in vain, and it becomes you
to see that their lives were not given In

NEW York, May 29.-The Tribune

PARIS, May, II.
Whitelaw Reid, Esq:
DEAR Sm-Since my return to Paris
from southern Italy on the s.h instant, l
have learned (what did not before be-

to the national convention as n candidate
for the presidency on the Republican ticket.
A single phrase Of my letter of May 25

everything had personal power to decide)
| has been treated by many of my mos. val
ued friends as not absolutely conclusive In
ultimate and possible contingencies.
On the other hand, friends equally de-
voted and dislnterested, have construed my
| letter (as 1t shonid be conslrued) to be un.
conditional, Withholding my name from the
National Convention. They have In conse-
| quence given their support to eminent gen.
| tlemen who are candidates for the Chicago
nomination, some Of whom would not, L am
sure, consent to assume that position had L

II should now, by speech or by silence,
by commission or omission, permit my

| vention, | should incur the reproach of be-
Ing uncandld with those who have always
been candid with me. / speak, therefore,
because / am not willing TO remain In a
doubtful attitude. l am not willing 10 be
the cause Of misleading q single nan
among the millions who have given ne
their suffrages and their confidence.
l am not willing that even lne of my
faithful supporters in the past should thiak
me capable Of paltering In dtuole sense

chance be offered to me, could not accept

therefore could not accept /. at all. The
| misrepresentation Of malice would have no
weight, bu. the just disp!easure of friends
could Dot'psiiently endure.
Republican victory, the prospects OF
which grow brighter every day, can be
imperiiled only by a lack OF unity IN coun-

men. The Issue OF protection Is incalcuI-
ably stronger and greater than any man,

age and has been member of the Mormon
Church almost since the day OF its organi-

Nominating speeches.

WASHINGTON. June lit is not
definitely settled who will present President
Cleveland's name to the st. Louis conven-
tion. The President is leaving that matter
TO his friends in the New York delegation,
who will make the selection themselves.
The honor will probably be conferred upon
either Wayne Chaplin, of BROOKLYN, State
Senator Rains, of Rochester, or Daniel
Dougherty, of New York City, who will be
remembered as having placed Gen. Han
cock in nomination at Cincinnati in tlSSo.
Senator Voorhees, is expected to place
Governor Gray, of Indiana, in nomination
for Vice President General Black'a name
will be presented by Ion. Thomas NJ. Pat.
tersop, of Colorado, and seconded by Gem
eral Finley, of Ohio, or Governor Green, of
New Jersey, while a like service will be
performed for Assistant Postmaster-Gen-
Knott, of Kentucky.
Leonard SWEET of Chicago will place Gen.
eral Gresham in nomination at the Repub-
lican convention which will meet int Chicago
on the seventeenth instant When Abraham
Lincoln appeared as candidate in 1850, he
was introduced to the convention by Mr..
SWEET, between whom and Mr.. Lincoln
close friendship existed. 1t is believed that
Senator Hoar will present Mr.. Sherman's
name. This, at least. is the present iuten-
tion although a change In the programme
may be made before the convention meets.
General Henderson, and congressman
Hepburn OF Iowa will look after Mr.. ALI
sons interests. Mr.. Creed Raymond of
San Francisco is expected to speak In Sem
| ator Stanford's behalf, while Mr.. Harrison
of Indiana, Mr.. Alger of Michigan and Mr.
Hawley of Connecticut will have their pres
idential booms carefully guarded by per
sonal friends in their respective states.
