The Carnival Of Crime.
By FRANK HOWARD HOWE and LAS
CELLES CHESTER MAXWELL.

Everybody knows Kitty Clyde. That
Is, all tbe fellows do. Her studio is on
the top aoor of the Wales, where she does
not mind your smoking an occasional
cigarette if you are well acquainted.
Kitty paints a very nice picture. Not
great, you know, but Just pretty piece
of genre work that hangs well in draw
ing room, and is not check to frivolous
conversation There isn't better little
woman in Gotham than Kitty herself.
We all call her Kitty-the fellows do.
She writes occasionally for the press
about art, music and the higher educa-
ton for women.
So much for Kitty. And myself? Well,
hoping. like Paul Pry, | don't intrude,
this is L 4 man about town, with a
weakness for Bohemian ife-a weakness
that may surprise you when | tell you
that Tn a fellow OF fashion, with some of
the best cards Of Gotham in my mirror.
But like cheerful company, and the
Jolly uuilldrivers furnish it, without car
ing to follow me out of Bohemia into my
own world. So | manage to let my as
sociations there lie perdue, as it were. in
truth, the beggars are not pushing. They
have dignity of their own. If they are
at times bit familiar they don't mean to
compromise one by it. For instance, if
escort Mrs. Potiphar Phipps to her car
rage after the opera, Bob Jones, the
dramatic man of The Orb, may favor me
with a furtiye wink from under his tile
the ancient, the weatherworn-but he
never presumeS to bow
The boys like me, or appear to. And
so i5 has gradually come about that a
good many of them make me the deposi-
tary of their hopes and cares. When
Jack Mills scores failure with his play
he comes to me-and curses the critics.
And when Fred Raeburne has another
story refused it is into my tender bosom
that he pours his grief Some say that
this foible of the scribes is owing to the
fact that keep a brand of particularly
fine cigars and lot of good old brandy in
my rooms; but then some people would
say anything.
One day I had come up town rather
early, and was just stepping into our ele-
vator, when l felt great thwack on my
back, and hearty voice exclaimed,
"Hellol How's his nibs?" | turned
around and recognized Fred Raeburne.
Now, I hate to be hit in the back and
called Ibis nibs." 1t hurts both my
spinal cord and my amour propre. So
with some asperity / informed Fred that
my health was as good as could be
expected under present circumstances.
But Fred has the skin of a rhinoceros.

1T WAS SCARCELY HEARD.
Republicans Fire Their Last Gun
at st. Cloud.

Special to the Globe.
ST.. CLOUD. Mimi, Nov. 2.-The Re-
publieans fired their last gun tonight
and it hardly made noise. Exactly
104 men were mustered in tOrchlight
procession and paraded the streets.
When j. III. Davidson commenced his
address, the hall was not half filled.
1t was a desperate effort OF
Merriam's men to break the
effect of Governor Gilman's speech
here, in which specific charges of cor
and readiness to prove them expressed
in case of denial. Col. J. ii. Davidson
and G. D. Kerr, of st. Paul were
brought UP for this purpose. Mr.. DAY.
idSon gave the customary stock Repub-
lican speech. He disclaims fairly,
but presented nothing new. But
the fine work in view devolved
upon Col. Kerr. who formerly lived in
st. Cloud and who has been fighting
Gilman bitterly for most of the time
during the past twenty-one years. He
cautiously avoided discussing or
denying the charges as to Mer-
RAMS purchase of delegates, but
engaged the attention of the mod
erate-sized audience by insinuating
illusions to the old chestnuts that were
raised by him in former fights, and
which then resulted in <Gilman's con-
tinuous Endorsement by his neighbors.
The only successful point made by
Kern was his remarkable evasion OF the
charges against Merriam by defamlng
Gov. Gilman, who is not the person on
trial. 1t is clear that Gil
rnon1c cnaanh haC ctrucIS the
vitals of the Republican chief
whose followers are making desperate
efforts to enlist Stearns county Repub-
licans on their side: Col. Kerr referred
unkindly to Gov Gilman, who sat COM
placently by and listened. A large
part of the audience left the hall, and
mrny OF those who remained expressed
their disgust at Kerr'S miSstatement.
The popularity of the situation
is that these speakers, privately, in con-
versation with friends, have admitted
that Merriam will be defeated, and
charge that Knute Nelson, who is quiet
at his Alexandria home, is working
against Merriam and will be RESPONSE
BILE for his defeat. The Merriam men
here are bitter towards Mel
son, and will wage war
against him when election is past,
but with some of them this hostility is
not of recent origin. st. Cloud is al
ways in a state OF belligerence. The
secret of which is that there are about
twenty statesmen waiting to succeed
Gov. Gilman, whose political demise is
with them matter of prayarful con-
sheraton. Most of the people of both
parties do not join i'll such devotional
exercises.

The Kavanagh-Cox 4 fray Exposes
the Recklessness of the Times
Methods.
Special Cable to the Globe
LONDON, Nov. 2.-The Kavanagh-Cox
ARRAY yesterday has created a tremen-
dous sensation in Parnellite circles, and
has also stirred up considerable feeling
among the Tories. The examination of
Kavanagh in the police court to-day has
proved the reckless manner in which
the Times has gone about obtaining evil
dence to sustain its case, as well as the
disregard of truth shown by its
agents, whether upon their own
or their employers account. The
witnesses in the case showed con-
clusively that even humble workmen
were paid Sc per week-a greater sum
than they ever had in their llveS-tO re-
main in London and answer to their
names when called to the witness box,
and the testimony altogether shows
that the witnesses bought, including the
prisoner, Kavanagh, are of the kind not
to be believed under oath if their
antecedents are known. The Evening
Star Parnellite) heads its report of the
Kavanagh-CoX examination walter
ism and crime" and accuses the Times
of flooding London with human refuse
in expectation of being allowed to
DISGRACE THE COURTS
with that sort of witnesses in its be-
half. London. the Star asserts, has
been turned into sort of Texas; and
Fleet street, at the expense of the
Times, is infested in debating rooms
and taverns with scoundrels CARRYING
reyolvers and filled with strange oaths
and whisky. The admission of Cox
that he could not or would not make
under oath before the commission the
statement he made to his employers
the agents of the Times-upon which
his Subpoena was based. has led
greaG many persons to believe
that the Times case is founded
upon conglomeration of false
hood, hearsay, suspicion and expecta-
ton which under the searching light of
cross-examination and the burning heat
of reason will crumble to. dust and pre-
cipitate the entire fabric into the abyss
of mendacity, together with its builders,
1t is expected that Mr.. Gladstone
will speak in birmingham next week.
This is regarded as an important oc
casion, as marking the final severance
