When Sweet Woman L,uncb


BUT SOMEHOW THE RESTAURANT PROPRIETOR Is
NOT ALTOGETHER HAPPY.
From the New York Star
''This is the time O. day when the ladies, God
bless 'em, come to lunch with me, and except
the pleasure Of their pretty faces and soft
speeches, my reward must be treasured up in
Heaven, for certain / don't get it here" was
the observation of restaurant proprietor to q
reporter. .'Take that lady over there, for in
stance" pointing to one sitting about halfway
down the room, land she is only one of dozens
like her every day. She came in here three
quarters of an hour ago by the clock. she and
her little boy; she walked through until she
found table unoccupied and took possession.
you, it barely holds one like her comfortably.
She had the waiter bring a high chair for the
young club, took of his hat and coat, used one
big dinner napkin to pin around his neck and
another to lay over his lap, filed the other two
chairs with her bundles, cloak, &C., then picked
up the menu card and began to study it.
II could have told you what she would order
at once, but it took her fully five minutes be-
fore she confided to the patient waiter her
wants. He was back in less than three with her
lunch Ga bowl Of consomme for herself and
q glass of milk for sonny.
BREAD, of course, is served with the SOUP,
and the two have made a slow and hearty
lunch. She finished few minutes ago, or
dered inger-bowl, took one Of the napkins,
and dipping it in water, scrubbed the boys
face and hands, wiped them with the other
napkin, and is now pulling and setting herself
for departure. I can see from here that the
tablecloth is plentifully sprinkled with milk
and soup-she fed the boy some Of that too
and must be taken of at once. She has used
three large dinner napkins, has occupied two
taurant nearly an hour, and her check is-thirty
cents"

Shot His Father Twice.

A MARYLAND FARMER WOUNDED WHILE COLLECT
ING RENT FROM HIS SON.
A special to the Baltimore Sun from Sails
bury, Md, October 29, says: An exciting scene
occurred few miles beyond Pittsville, wicom-
leo County, this morning, at the farm of ]. Hill
airy Brattan. Mr.. Brattan, who is the son OF
w. B. Brattan, wealthy farmer of that section,
has been occupying one of his fathers numer-
Gus farms for several years without paying any
rent. This year his father told him he must
have rent, and this morning he went over to
Hiary's to get his share of the corn. He was
told by his son not to take the corn, but paying
no attention to the warning, he proceeded to
load his wagon. Young Brattan becoming en-
ranged at his farther's action, entered the house
and soon emerged with double-barreled gun.
Without warning he opened fire upon his
father. The first load took effect in his left
side, but fortunately he was standing in such a
position as caused the shot to glance outward
making AN ugly flesh wound. Young Brattan
then emptied the second load at his father. the
shot striking him in the left hand. His father
at once got into the cart and left the farm
When he arrived home he was in q week and
exhausted condition from loss of blood. The
doctors say he will recover if blood-poisoning
does not set in. warrant has been swory out
for the arrest Of young Brattan but up to this
writing he has not been found.

Germans Advice Unheeded.

CHAIRMAN BRICE ISSUES PARODY ON THE SACK
WILLIE LETTER.
A New York special to the Baltimore Ameri-
can says: Something of sensation stirred po-
litical circles here tonight, when it was known
that the democratic national committee had
acknowledged that the Sackville letter had
dashed their hopes by sending out late tonight
from headquarters a bogus letter. supposed to
have been sent by the Chinese minister to a
Chinaman In Indianapolis. copy of the letter
was furnished to all the democratic papers for
publication. The letter is copy of what an
Indianapolis paper will print tomorrow. It is
intended as burlesque of the Sackville letter,
so worded as to convince the unwary that
the Chinese are strongly in favor of
the names used that the letter is demo-
cratic invention, intended only to mislead some
and make laughter for others. Senator Cor
man opposed the circulation of the document
in the strongest language. He said it would
not aid Cleveland, while it would certainly serve
to direct further attention to the genuine let
ter of the British minister. 1t was several hours
before Senator German would consent to its
publication. 1t is even said that he is very sore
over the action of Colonel Tracey, who took
the matter in hand. The other members of
the committee overruled the Maryland Sena-
tor. The letter made its appearance at a very
late hour, and the supply was soon exhausted.
While the document can have but one effect
that which Senator German stated-it is
considered by the republicans as an in
dication of the feeling of despair on the
part Of the democrats. Colonel Goodloe and
Mr. Barker, Of the republican national com
mittee, read copy with laughter, and Chair
man Quay smiled and said nothing. Another
republican said that the letter, if It had been
genuine, could have but little weight, because
the Chinese minister had already said at pub.
lie dinner that he was in favor Of Clevelands
administration. The letter is couched in a poor
imitation of the Chinese-English lingo. Its
wording and construction are such that careless
readers may be misled into believing its con-
tents, il they are unable to feel the spirit of
burlesque which pervades it. 1T is a costly
attempt at funny writing" is the way the dem
ocrats sum up the latest production of Col
Brice's bureau.

All EuBhSH SIcws
EDMUNDs YATES COMMENTS ON THE sAcxvILLx
INCIDENT.
From the New York Tribune
An eulogist given somewhat to arrangement
Of epithets, described the object Of his pane
gyric as uniting the prudence of the lion with
the strength of the serpent Lord Sackville,
whose collateral ancestor and predecessor in
the title which he now bears, displayed pru-
dence not altogether leonine at Minden, may
possess the strength of the serpent, but is less
prudent than even the most cautious and cir
cumspect of lions. The letter which is now
engaging public attention on both sides of the
Atlantic, and which most probably formed a
topic Of after-dinner talk between Lord Sails
bury and Mr.. Phelps at Hatfield, is likely to
have momentous consequences. 1t will proba-
bly, bring Lord Sackville's mission at WASH
ington to a close, and will possibly defeat Mr..
Cleveland. In the last century, spendthrifts
in Paris called their creditors ''les Anglais be-
cause they were so easily taken in Lord Sackville
maintains this noble tradition Of the national
character. The best way of preventing Lord
Sackville from having in future anything to do
with American politics is for him to come
home. But the past cannot be undone. He
has taken part in American politics. Already
Mr.. Cleveland is denounced as Englands man
and as the British, not the American, candidate
for the presidency, and Lord Sackville's letter
will probably turn a good many votes against
him. The one thing which country will not
stand is foreign intermeddling with domestic
matters. The suspicion that intrigues were di-
rected against Lord Palmerston, and Lord John
Russelrs declaration that his noble friend
would be the minister, not of France, Austria,
or Russia, but of England, were decisive in
his favor.
Lord Sackville's resignation, recall or dis
missal will not undo the mischief he has done,
which will bear fruits not only in the next
presidential election, but during the next
presidential term. Questions which might
have been settled may be kept open. Es-
arrangement which might have been prevented
may be occasioned and embittered.

FAM1LY's ESCAPE FROM THEIR coILApsINo
A special to the Baltimore American from
Wilkesbarre, Pa, October 20, says: for some
time a portion of the suburbs of Plymouth,
known as Carey Hill, has shown signs of a cav
ing of the surface. About 8 o'clock this morn
ing the house occupied by Henry Fox, and
about half an acre surrounding it, went down
fully IL feet. The shock was sudden and very
violent. The inmates of the house were thrown
from their beds, the house tipped over, and the
rear extension was torn loose from the main
building, and not long after collapsed. The
main portion of the house held together,
though the walls were split and gaping. The
family were terror-stricken. and fastened out
of the falling house in their night clothes. All
the furniture and household goods were de-
stroyed or damaged.
Decision was given in Winnipeg continuing
the injunction against the crossing Of the Can
adam Pacific tracks by the local government
until the decision Of the Supreme Court at OF
tawa has been given upon the constitutional
point of the right of Manitoba to charter the
road in question.
The jury in the case of George Eddleman,
charged with the murder of Thomas G. Gres-
ham, at Atlanta, Ga, returned verdict Of ac-
quittal yesterday. Gresham was shot by Ed
dleman over O trivial discussion. The verdict
was great surprise, and last night an indigna-
ton meeting was held, at which charges were
made against the jurymen.

HIS SKULL FRACTURED.
A Heavy Blow With q Car Brake.

DRUNkBN NAN on A STREET CAn-EJEcTKD BY
CONDUCTOR, HE TRIES TO GET RxvExaE AND
IS ROUGHLY HANDLED.
"whisky got him in trouble suggested an
officer last night when Frederick Jones, coll
ored, was placed ON a cot in the Emergency
Hospital. Jones was suffering from fracture
OF the skull, the result of blow inflicted by
Bernard Robey, conductor Of 7th-street car.
Jones was at the river front in South Washing
ton last evening, and about O'Clock he got on
street car. He was under the influence Of
liquor. After riding several blocks Jones made
himself an Objectionable passenger, and Con-
ductor John Holland elected him from the car.
He then stood in the street until the arrival Of
the next car, when he stepped ON the platform.
Seating himself upon the dashboard, he spread
his legs on either side Of the door and refused
to allow the passengers to move one way or
the other. Conductor Robey spoke to Jones
and requested him to move, telling him
that he would either have to do so or get of
the car.
1T will take a better man than you to put me
of, Jones replied.
Jones is q very large man and Robey is under
the medium size, but is not frightened easily
Before the negro could realize what was being
done Robey had landed him in the street. This
occurred near street southwest. When Jones
ASSo'SAcN hoH LIS sur pEibc TIE car udQ gone
some distance. Grabbing a piece of brick,
Jones started in pursuit of the car, and reached
it at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue.
He advanced toward the conductor
while the passengers were being trans
ferred. The conductor saw Jones coming
and picked up the brake handle, the
only weapon available, and warned the negro
to keep away, but the latter did not take heed
and the conductor struck at him. As he did so
Jones threw up his arm and caught the blow,
but a second blow struck him over the left eye.
Then Jones staggered, and as the car moved
of he fell to the ground. He was picked up
by Officer Kaucher, and taken in the patrol
wagon to the Emergency Hospital. When ex-
amined by DIR. Sill his skull was found to have
been fractured, and five pieces of bone were
taken from the fracture. While his injuries
are of a dangerous nature, the physician thinks
he will recover. The conductor went with his
car to Boundary street, and was arrested by
Officer Kaucher when he returned. Last night
it was thought that Jones would probably die,
and bail was refused for Robey.
This morning, in the Police Court Robey
was charged with assault and battery with in
tent to kill, and the case was continued indef-
nitely. Bail in the sum Of 5000 was furnished.
