0ueer Campaign xyagers.
SINGULAR skrs MADE ON THE RESULT OF THE PRES

SINGULAR skrs MADE ON THE RESULT OF THE PRESI-
DENTAL ELkCTI0N.
From the Troy Standard
Now that the great national campaigns are
about 70 be begun suppose the betting men Will
now get 70 work also. IL Is remarkable what
queer variety Of wagers are made in such CAM
paisns as these. Some OF them even verge on the
ridiculous While in the American House one night
recently was one Of party OF tour who were dis
cussing pOliticS-
After We had talked for nearly an hour two OF
the men present, one q democrat and the other
republican, made the following wager: ID. bet X.
$50 that the democratic nominee would De elected,
X betting the same amount on the republican
candidate. The money was placed In the hands OF
a stakeholder, and then II was agreed that the man
winning the bet was to buy shoes for the loser 5
family until the money was exhausted
I have also heard that In case Cleveland is re-
elected certain politician OF the thirteenth ward
has promised to wheel a certain democrat OF the
same ward TO 18th street, Lansingburg, and back
In q wheelbarrow. People also make queer PROM
ises about this time, the strangest one, think,
being one which was made 10 me a few days ago.
A well-Enown young man IN the city has been
owing me q sum OF money Tor several months and
me AFTER election, n the republicans were victori-
GUS.
Another man has made queer promise, too. He
says be will stop drinking whisky and beer II
Cleveland '.gets there" again Another man says
he'll go TO bed every night at O'Clock for three
mouths II the republicans win. Whenever party
wins doubt, however, II any OF the PROMISES
particularly the one In regard 10 the whisky and
beer, will be Kept.

LearniuS Shorthand.

"How long does IL take to learn shorthand my

In which case you Will have 70 report just exactly
what the speaker says, and nothing elso, It Will
take you two or three years TO learn. But If you
merely want TO report political speeches. In which
occupation you merely look wise while you make
hen tracks, and then 20 TO the ONCE and write
down the speech from memory, making the
speaker say whatever you think will please the

The awful death OF Nine. PavlakOf, one OF the
most Charming amongst all that bevy OF charming
Russian ladies who sometimes gladden. the winters

the door OF her hotel at Berlin to gain her Carriage
she let fall one OF her bracelets close to the pave
ment. STOPPING TO pick IL up she observed laugh
fngly that son OF the horses belonging to the next
carriage had kissed her." Next day the unfOrtu-
nate lady was taken Ill with that most horrible
disease, CHAMBERS, and in a FEW more days breathel
her last, In spite or the attendance OF the first
physicians OF Berlin and every resource TO be OBJ
tanned by wealth or by the ceaseless vigilance OF
friends.

About 200 gentlemen, representing from

From the Boston Herald. June %.
A little, brisk man, whose mustache seemed the
largest part of him. stepped up to the clerk Of the
Hotel Vendome early Thursday morning and en-
gagged apartments on the first floor front for his
wife and daughter. He said that for reasons very
satisfactory to himself he did not care to put his
autograph on the hotel register but that he would
leave his name with the clerk. He said: II am
NJ. w. Fuller OF New York." The clerk wrote 1t on
card, which he laid on his desk. The gentleman
from the metropolis then retired Little has since
been seen OF him about the corridors. When the
night clerk came on duty the day official gave him
an Idea OF the business on hand, and Said Incident
ally, that man who wouldn't sign his name was
upstairs. and the clerk added: "He said he was
NJ W. Fuller, OF New York" "The name sounds
FAMILIAR" said the other. In a little While the
unknown" put In an appearance. He wore long
gray hair. and his bright, strong face was soon
recognized as that Of Mr. Melville W. Fuller, the
Chicago lawyer who has been nominated by
President Cleveland for Chief Justice OF the
supreme Court or the United States. The secret
OF his '1ncOg" mode or travelling was that he
didn't want to be interviewed. lie had several
callers during the day, anu made few short calls
himself. He ana Mrs. Fuller. with Miss Fuller,
are on their way TO Maine, where they are gong
TO keep cool for while, while Senators "sweltern

Knights Of Pythias Membership.

From the Omaha Bee, June 20.
The Rev. William E. Copeland. Of this city, is
likely to obtain national notoriety from his reso
buttons offered at the recent convention Of the
supreme Lodge, Knights OF Pythias, to exclude
from the order all retailers OF intoxicating liquors
The explicit declaration is made that grave doubt
exists as to the sound moral character Of saloon
Keepers and bartenders, and 1t Is proposed that
the supreme Lodge shall require all subordinate
lodges TO suspend or expel from membership per-
sons engaged In those occupations, on the ground
that they are not OF good moral character as con-
templated by the constitution OF the order The
matter was referred TO committee and will not
De acted upon until the next annual meeting OF
the Supreme Lodge, but 1t is likely meanwhile to
create god deal OF agitation in the order. The
relative strength OF tine saloon-keepers In the
their exclusion would have the effect TO mate
rally weaken Il, besides which they very likely
nave considerable number or sympathiZers who
would withdraw with them from the order II the
proposed policy should prevail
