Colonel IngersoIl's View.

Colonel lngerscll says he is Re-
publican and wants the Republican
party to win, as he believes it can do
this year. The thing for the RepubS
ican party to do is to unite and har-
monte itself. ct is not" he SAYS,
8 an easy party to keep together. In
telligence will not, as a rule, submit
to the discipline of organization, and,
there is too much intelligence in the
Republican party to make it possible
for leader, for any great length Of
time, to remain in power. # the Re-
publicans are united-that is to say,
all the voters in the country who real-
ly prefer Republican to Democratic
rule-if they all vote together, success
is absolutely certain. = S5our CITY

DR.. Ric hmond s Supper,

A cruel trick was played upon the
well-known diner-out, DR.. c. M. Rich.
mond, on Saturday night at the Lyceum
theater, says The New York Sun. The
doctor, with a party of lady friends, sat
in a whiskers of the distinguished bon
vlvant were glossy with brilliantine, and
his shirt bosom and white waistcoat
were made radiant by large gold buttons.
the same having no relation whatever
TO the DOCTORS profession of dentistry
and tooth filling, as was suggested re-
gently by New York paper. Imr
mediately after the first act the docto,
leaned affably over the edge of the box
fixed an usher with one of his glitter
ing eyes, and said:
"Hist!"
The usher rushed forward.
eff, said the doctor, "a latter comes
here addressed to G. M. Richmond,
please bring it down to me-
The usher nodded. When the cur.
tain fell on the succeeding act the doctor
glared up the aisle and asked the usher,
IN loud tone of voice, if that letter had
arrived yet for G. NJ. Richmond. TIL
usher said it had not. The docto r
looked annoyed, and fully, half the
people in the audience shook their heads
dismally ard wondered what had be-
come OF the letter. Again the curtain
rose and fell, and once more the doctor
wheeled around and stared at the door,
as did most of the people in the
audience. To the intense relief of every
body the usher ran beaming down the
aisle with large white envelope in his
hand.
"Ihe fact is said the doctor in an
explanatory and affable manner to his
friends, II found myself without change
when we arrived here, and, as I thought
we would like to take a little bit of
supper after the play, I sent check
for $50 that I had in my pockes up to
my friend Pond, with note asking him
to cash it SO that we could buy some
supper This is the answer"
1.-The doctor took the envelope, tore in
open in full view of the audience and
his friends, and drew out one large and
smoking clam fritter, and card which
read:
DEAR DoCKEY! Have supperw this
me. l keep the chek. Yours,
POND.

Tent Life in Siberia, ETC., had spent four
years in Russia and Siberia, was thorough
ly conversant with the people and the Ian
guage, and had reached the onclusion that
the Russian Government had been misrep-
resented, and that the exile system of Sibe-
ria was not SO terrible as was supposed.
Knowing that Mr. KEENAN, held these
views, the Russian Government gave him
every facility for a thorough
INSPECTION OF MINES AND PRISONS
of Siberia-the most thorough that had
ever been made by a traveller. Armed with
letters from the Russian Minister of the
Interior and other high officials, Mr.. Ken
nan went everywhere, inspecting mines and
prisons, convict barges and hospitals, and
travelling with chained eXiles along the
great Siberian road. He made the intimate
personal acquaintance of more than three
hundred exiled ''liberals" and Nihilists,
many of whom wrote out their histories for
his use. The actual facts, as revealed by
this searching Investigation, were far re-
moved from Mr.. Remnants preconceived
ideas, as this thrilling narrative of fifteen
months privation and adventure will show.
AS is already known, the publication of
Mr.. Remnants preliminary papers has re-
suited in his being placed
