Chicago women ever really have clean

grace Of the News is attributable to the
malice of the Sun, for had the statement
circulated merely in Chicago its justice
might have been acknowledged and its

Deceptive Appearances.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

from the Brooklyn Eagle.
The clerical looking young man who
is always described assubdued, unosten-
guished himself. This time he was on
car. 1t was after midnight and at least
two OF the passengers had dropped into
the extremely uncomfortable repose
which street cars occasionally afford
Then the villain appeared. He was
certainly an ugly customer. He aroused
both sleepers and was not particularly
gentle about it. Then he undertook to
talk to a lady whose escort was not at
all anxious to interfere. For few min
utes he had matters his own way. The
clerical looking young man had taken in
the situation. He said to the friend
who was with him, "Isn't it time we
maced that fellow ?" The friend
thought it high time and operations
were begun at once. The wearer OF the
glasses carefully deposited them in his
pocket before entering the car. A more
surprised vii lain never figured in late
hour episode. He staggered back from a
sudden blow planted squarely and with
crushing force on his large nose from
which blood flowed in copious stream.
There was an interesting return" from
the Fourth Precinct police at headquar-
tiers in the morning. 1t set forth that
the sergeant In charge had thought it
advisable to call an ambulance surgeon.
When the doctor appeared he found
that his patient was suffering from a
broken nose. 1t is pity to keep up the
monotony with which the clerical look
ing young man always comes out ahead,
but in tn is case there is no alternative.
He not only knew how to hit, but to hit
to some purpose, and the luxury of a
broken nose never was more richly
earned.

gone for Cleveland, and the probability is
that Connecticut has also. New York is in
Houbt, with the prospect that nearly all the
rounties will have to be heard from before
the result in the state is known. New
York county, which gave Cleveland
5000 majority in 1884, gave
him over $1,000 majority this
year, and Kings county, which gave
tim 10000 in 1885,, gave him about 1900
this year. About one-third Of the pre-
tincts outside Of those two counties give
Gen. Harrison about "a 600. Ohio and Hi
hois show democratic gains. The proba-
bility is that the democratic majority in
Virginia is about 5,0O0 in Florida about
l,500, and in Georgia aoout $1,000. 1t can
be safely stated that all tle southern states
have gone democratic
Owing to the system of counting the vote
In California the count is delayed there,
and nothing definite has been heard from
that state. In the west Cleveland has made
gains over 1884 but they are not sufficient
to insure him any of the states in that sec
ton which voted for Blaine in 1884, though
Minnesota is claimed by the republicans
! y only $500. In the New England states
he has also made gains over 1884, but not
such as to have an important bearing upon
the result. The result of the election
probably depends upon the result in New
York state.
