CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.
Conkling May Succeed in Pulling
Through Yet.
A MORE HOPEFUL OUTLOOK
Was Reported by His Physicians at a
Very Late Hour This
Morning.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, April 16.-Shortly after 5
p. m. ex-Judge Shipman came out of
Mr.. Conkling's house. He said he had
not seen Mr.. Conkling, as the patient
was sleeping, and it was not best to let
him be annoyed by visitors. Mrs. Conk-
ling, he said, was much encouraged at
the improvement in her husbands con-
dition, and was trying to get little
rest. Judge Shipman is also hopeful
that the slight improvement may con-
tinue.
DR.. Barker called on Mr.. Conkling
about o'clock. He said: s'Mr. Conk-
ling is greatly improved, and his
chances for recovery are greatly in
creased. His pulse and temperature
are unchanged, and the fact that he no
longer talks in his delirum is a good
sign" Aid. Conkling left the house
soon afterwards. He said he thought his
uncle was better to-day than any time
since taken sick, and that he would
recover. Mr.. Melville also said the
chances seemed better than at any time
before. Mr.. Conkling is half-dozing
and does not toss about rrave. He has
taken considerable milk during the day.
The wound is getting along nicely.
DR.. Anderton is in charge tonight.
7:30 p. m. Reports from Mr.. Conkling
continue favorable. Aid. Conkling and
Mr.. Melville say he passed an easy
afternoon, and is about unchanged in
condition. He does not throw his hands
about so much nor talk so incoher-
emily as before. The family were
encouraged and felt that Mr..
Conkling's great constitutional vigor
might yet enable him to survive the dis
ease. DR.. Barker said tonight: 81 will
not say the critical point has been
passed. but his chances have increased.
The coughing has ceased and the sub
saltus is gone. Ii he rests as quietly to-
night as he did Sunday night, shall
have brighter hopes than ever before"

PRACTICAL AID.

The government is extending aid of
an eminently practical nature to the
Sisseton Indians in Dakota. 1t has dis
tributed among them 1000 bushels of
seed wheat, having previously taught
them something about farming, and
now leaves them to themselves in the
matter of earning living.
That kind of aid is better than all the
annuitles and blankets that. might be
served out to the Indians in ten years,
for it teaches them self-reNance. There
is no reason why the lylians, possessing
as they do. the finest agricultural land
in the country, and more intelligence
than good many white men who vote

Favored by the Law.

BOstOn POSI-.
A remark by one of our most famous
legal wits here in Boston is recalled by
the circumstances under which the late
Chief Justice Waite's appointment was
originally made. The objections which
had caused the senators to reject the
two previous nominations of Caleb
Cushing and George II. Williams on the
score, respectively, of political and per
sonal character were in everybOdy's
recollection when the nomination of
Morrison r. Waite, a man against
whom nothing could be alleged this
score, was announced. "What do you
think of the appointments said a
friend to Judge E. K. Hoar. sit is that
of a person peculiarly favored by the
law" was the ready reply-''an inno-

and earn a comfortable living, should
not be compelled to make themselves of
some use in the world, both to them
selves and their fellows.
There is no room for idle aristocrats
in this portion of the workaday world,
and your INDECENT Indian is the only gen.
nuine aristocrat, if an aristocrat is sup
posed to be one who, owning immense
landed possessions, lives in ease without
a stroke of active labor. Under that
definition all the Indians in the coun-
try, except perhaps few like the
Sissetons, who have learned something
about the ways of civilization, would
come. AS opposed to aristocratic ideas,
then, the government should refuse
longer to do it's part in continuing by
annual donations the support in idle
ness Of the Indian aristocracy.
1t should give them farm implements
and seed instead Of of bacon and flour,
and after putting them in the way 9of
earning their own living, as in the case
of the Sissetons, should leave them to
shift for themselves. g

Gladstone Matchmaking.

London Letter.
A difficult and delicate question con-
corning the family is now under the
consideration of the government. The
daughters of the Prince of Wales are
of manageable age, and the question
is the familiar one of the parliamentary
provision. There are some who think
the matter had better be settled without
delay, while others are in favor of allow
ing it to wait until there is some matri-
mOnial engagement, and that then it
should be brought before the House of
commons in the usual form of a mess
age from the crown.
Mr.. Gladstone, who is highly verSed
in all questions of royal procedure, is
understood to hold that select COM
mittee should be at once appointed to
consider recommendations to Parlia-
ment with what he has termed sec
ondary provisions for members of the
royal family, and the government has
accepted this policy in principle. 1t is
not likely that Parliament will consent
to make provisions for the younger
members of the royal family other than
the children of the Prince of Wales, or
that even this will be done without pros
pective reference to the next settlement
of the civil list.

WHY GIRLS EAT CANDY.
A Different Excuse for Every Day
in the Year. ~

III Il car. ~
"American girls eat more candy than
the girls of any other nation,' said an
observing traveller recently to a re-
reporter for the Mail and Express.
s'They commence on New Years day
and then continue until New Years
Eve. Always candy; sometimes Because
it is birthday, sometimes because they
meet friend, sometimes because twas
sent to them. They have as many ex-
cuses for eating candy as man has for
drinking whisky"
ssDon't foreign girls eat candy?"
ssOh, yes. And they are learning very
fast to follow the example of the fair
sex on this side of the water. In this
country the Yankee girls were the first
to start the fashion, or habit, as it
should be more properly called, and
from the East it has spread all over the
country. Now, think the Western
girls can hold their own against all
corners. In Europe Germans, Italians
and SpaniardS are great eaters OF pra-
lines, chocolates a La creme, sugared al
monds and crystalliZed fruits. French
women eat fondants, and there man
when he escorts lady to the theater
must carry with him packet OF dou-
ceurS.
In England, candy eating started with
sucking caramels or nibbling cremes.
Now the well-to-do Briton eats sweets
with his wine after dinner. They are
fond of fondants, nOugat, candied man-
darins or tangerines and other kinds.
Butter scotch, barley, sugar and choco-
late are the ordinary everyday candies.
Soldiers suck almond rock while doing
sentry duty, the policeman on his beat
usually has bulls eye or brandy ball
in his mouth, and the British tar chews
an American caramel instead of the
quid of pigtail that used to distend his
swarthy cheek in the good old days Of
England'S wooden Walls.'"

Corralled by Sharks.

Lind Times.
A dinghy with grass from Dwarka
foundered not very far off from Bate, a
port on the Dutch coast, while she was
on her way to Karachi, when the crew,
consisting of seven, took to the mast,
which had unshipped. AT the time she
fOundered the vessel was very close to
the shore, and the crew were gradually
working their way toward the beach,
when one of their number was
heard to shrek and Immediately
disappeared, and the others, to
their horror, realized that they
were surrounded with sharks, with no
means of escaping, as the mast not only
gave. with their weight but could not be
kept steady ON account of the rough
state of the sea. The men were in Il
state of anxiety and fear, not knowing
whose turn would come next. One by
one the men suddenly disappeared until
only one remained, and by this time the
storm having subsidized, he managed to
balance himself steadily on the mast,
which drifted toward the beach OIL the
following day. He was thus tossed
about on the sea, expecting every mo-
ment to be his last, for two days and
night.

MORE CABLE LINES.

The assurances given by the street
railway company officials that, il all
goes well. cable line will be con-
structed along Seventh street during
the coming summer, have been hailed
with delight by the people who live IN
districts accessible most easily by means
of that street.
We observe, however, among these ex-
pressions of qualification. doubt as to
whether the assurances will be con-
firmed by subsequent developments.
This is perhaps natural when the delay
that attended the building of the 'hilP'
line is borne in mind. Nevertheless, we
are disposed to conclude that the COM
pany will find it very decidedly to its adj
vantage to build the line in the very
early future.
Seventh street is one of the city's
greatest thoroughfares. Taking the
population in it's immediate vicinity, in
addition to the resident districts to
which it affords access, it would furnish
a much greater, and consequently more
profitable patronage than the ''hill'' line,
which is understood to be far from a
losing investment. The street presents
fewer difficulties in the way of curves
than the other line, and its inclines,
though steep, do not present excessive
difficulties.
The way, therefore, is clear; the peo-
pie are waiting ready to render the line
extremely profitable; and there conse-
quently seems to be every reason, look
ing at the matter from the company's
standpoint of self-interest and without
regard to any disposition or indisposi-
ton on its part to accommodate the pub
lie, why the assurance that the con-
struction of the line will be begun at an
early date should be received with con-
fidence.
st. Paul needs the Seventh street line
very much, indeed, and should be given
it without any unnecessary delay.

SHARP dropping into his grave at the

BYRNEs,. detective skill. His brilliant
achievements in chasing boodlers and

In these days of corruption the serv-
ices of man like Mr.. BYRNEs cannot
be overestimated. He is worth more to
the public than whole carload OF
judges and juries in the work of ferret
ing out crime and fixing guilt on the

pie should publicly express their appre-
citation of the services of men OF this

A WANING BOOM.

The California real estate boom,
which for a year or more has attracted
such widespread attention, is said to be
on the wane. That is natural outcome
that was to be expected.
The boom was, for the greater part,
speculative in character. 1t rested
upon very meager substantial basis,
its only solidity consisting in the nat
ural, though controlled, demand by local
capitalists for investment lands, and in
the equally limited demand on the part
of winter visitors for residence prop
erty. The gambling spirit, however, is
very active in the breast of the West
erners, and these grounds were quite
sufficient to foster the astonishing spec
ulative craze which now appears to have
worn itself out.
In much less degree st. Paul, too,
has experienced something of the rise
and fall of this speculative fever. But
the outcome of it has been quite differ
ent here from the California experience.
On the coast values which were largely
fictitious have taken tumble, and have
carried good many people down in
financial ruin with them. Here, moth
ing Of the kind has occurred.
The business has settled down to a
legitimate and wholesome basis. 1t is
brisk because the natural demand for
property, made necessary by the
rapid growth of the country trib-
utary to the city and the consequent
enlargement of st. Pauls business in
terests, is sufficient to make it so. Prices
have not weakened at all, for the SIM
pie reason that values have necessarily
increased instead of diminished. The
spectators, those who were doing the
margin gambling, have simply stopped
operations, and no one is worse Off for
it. On the contrary, both dealers and
the city are to be congratulated that the
real estate business in st. Paul is
established upon such a firm founda-
ton. Feverish booms are productive OF
more injury than good. IS

A Texas Tragedy.

BROWNSVILLE, Tex, April 16.-
NJ. Kennedy, son of Col. Mifflin Kennedy,
one of the wealthiest railroad
and cattle men III Texas, was
shot and killed here this morn
ing by Deputy Sheriff Jose Maria de
Esparzo, well-to-dO ranchero. Kennedy
has been paying marked attention for
some time to Dona Elivira de Esparzo,
wife OF the. deputy sheriff. De EsparzO
and wife were not living together.
Kennedy last night accompanied her to a
ball on the Mexican side of the river
AS they stepped from the ferry boat.
while returning home, De Esparzo
jumped from behind tree and opened
fire on Kennedy, hitting him twice.
He then fired on his wife, who ran
shrieking into the city. De Esparzo
escaped to Mexico. Kennedy was a
widOwer. His wife, who died recently,
was cousin to Lady Vaudeville.

BISMARCK AND BoULANGER.

Between them BIsMACK and BOU-
LANCER manage to keep the eyes of the
world directed toward European affairs.
1t must be something of personal
modification to BISMARCK, however. to
observe that as his own star begins to
decline that of the brilliant Frenchman
seems to be shooting upward toward the
zenith of fame and power.
Notwithstanding BISMARCK won a
temporary triumph in the conflict which
arose over the proposed marriage of the
VICTORIA, still it is manifest that Ger
many's new emperor is considering a
plan by which he can free himself from
the despotism of the great chancellor.
1t is given out on areasonably good au-
thority that new chancellor has been
selected, and that the old one will be
deposed as soon as the OppOrtGne mo-
ment arrives. So far has this rumor
gained credence in the public mind the
German press are already discussing by
name those who stand the best show for
succeeding BISMARCK.
While Prince BISMARCK is moodily
bordering over the ingratitude of en-
pires and emperors, and, conscious that
his greatness is on the wane, he casts
his eye beyond the borders of father
land and sees new star rising OH the
horizon of hated France which promises
to eclipse the brilliancy of his own, even
when it was at the zenith.
BOULANGEE' elevation is the phe-
nomenon of modern politics. His sue
cess in overthrowing the FERRY admin
istration has not been surpassed in
brilliant execution since the times of the
first NAPOLEON. But his work didn't
end there. That seems to have been
only the beginning of what he had III
view. The quality of his ambition APP
pears to be the same stuff possessed by
JULIUS CESAR, ALEXANDER the Great
and NAPOLEON BoNAPARTE. His per-
Sonality rises supreme above all issues.
Public interest is made to center in the
man, while party questions are lost
sight of in the glare of his strong indi-
viduallty.
BoULANGER's confidence in himself
is remarkable, and yet he is justified in
il. Only last week he was elected to
the chamber of deputies from the de-
partment of the Dordogne, an honor
that nine-tenths of the statesmen in
France would have coveted. Yet he
east it aside as mere bauble. He de-
clined the seat because he wanted to
demonstrate his personal power and
popularity by securing an election from
the department of the North. Monday
the election was held in the Department
du Nord and Boulanger rolls in
with a majority of 10000. Now
it is said that, still signing for
new triumphs, BoULANGER proposes
to take place in the chamber of dep
uties, make speech demanding dis
solution of the chamber and revision
of the constitution, and then resign and
stand for the next vacancy, repeating
these tactics until dissolution is forced.
when he will run in every department
and secure popular vote which will
amount to a plebiscite.
All this becomes gravely ominous for
the republic. Itpoints to the fact that
DoULANGER is aiming at the dictator
ship. and thus the.movements of the man
who may possibly be the future emperor
of France are watched with intensest in
terest by the whole world.
