MRS. LANGTRY'S WEALTH.
She Is Getting Ready to Marry Geb-
hard.
From the Ne,u York sta,


From the NeiU York Star
There is no truth whatever in the rumor Just
fioated that Mrs. Langtry is des rous of securing
from T. Henry French the lease of the Grand
opera house in this city, and Mr. French could
not let her have 1t if he wanted to. Mrs. Langtry
will in all probability retire to private life aft
er the fulhllment of the contracts already
made for her coming season. She went upon
the stage TO make money and has made it,
From reliable sources it is learned that her
wealth Is not far from 81, 900 600. Her commits
sion to her late manager, George Keogh, who is
now IN Europe, to look up and buy for her a
new play, is significant, it is said only in far
as 1t is an investment. 1t is no longer secret
that Mrs. Langtry and Mr. Gebhard are to be
married in a few weeks, nor is it a secret that
the ladys season will not begin for over four
months. When she does begin her work
it is probable that she will follow
her usual custom of buying property in every
be thriving place. This is the secret OF her
accumulation Of wealth. Her real estate to-
day il valued at 96C0,0O0, and she has acquired
~ by her own shrewduess. In New York she
holds sixty or more first mortgages and she
also has considerable landed intefAsts In Brook
lyn, while in California and niiuerous western
towns her name appears upon the list of tax
acres Of land in Salt Lake City for $4,000. Last
season she refused $500 for the property. Her
purchase of reality In California last year. was
5000 acres, for which she poid So, 900 Lately
she refused 500. COO for the same These facts,
added to those Of her approaching marriage,
the death Of her father and her desire for quiet
and rest are cited in the support Of her state
ment, that having atnassed fortune, Mrs.
Langtry is only waiting for a chance TO retire
from the stage and enjoy il.

James G. Blaine, Jr., wanted to take the
stump for Harrison and Morton, but the
republican campaign managers were too
sharp to allow him to do so, and they put
him at work at the national headquarters
A son of Speaker Carlisle, though probably
possessing greater qualifications as speaker
than young Blaine, had the good sense to
leave stump-speaking to older heads, and
preferred a clerkship in tho rooms of the
national democratic committee. His name
Is Logan Carlisle, and he is lawyer by
profession.

Why Harrison Isn't Consulted


1t is already reported in Washington that the
action of the senate committee OF finance on

that may be given by Mr.. Blaine when he
arrives next week. But no one has happened
to think of consulting Mr.. Harrison on this sub
1ect, or, indeed, on any others. For this Mr..
Harrison himself is somewhat to blame. He
made haste very mprudently to declare his alb

nominated you, but your dispatches put us

OF some repute, understands the meaning
of these words, and so does the public, in a
sense. The people understand that the Chi
cago convention unwillingly put aside the
most popular republican in the country, and
nominated man of no magnetism, no par
ticular merit, and no popularity whatever,
and that the Blaine enthusiasts, comprising
the greater portion of the party, refuse to be
comforted, but accept the result because

Why, get Mr.. Blaine to talk them over of

The New Orleans Rice Trust.

The rice millers, rice receivers and rice
planters in Louisiana are getting their
various interests so tied up by combinations
that it looks as if there would I've a good
many difficulties in the way of handling the
present rice crop of that state. The millers
formed a trust with the object of shutting
off competition in buying, and making
bigger profits for themselves. OF course
this meant that the planters and receivers
would have to suffer because the miIlers
hoped to fix the prices.
The planters and receivers objected, of
course, to being at the mercy of the milers,
and on Saturday they held a meeting with
the view of forming trust. They passed
a resolution in which they declared that the
action of the millers was at variance with
their interests, and, il persisted in, would
ruin the rice interest of Louisiana. They
also resolved to organize an association, and
buy and hold all the rice that couldn't be
sold at prices fixed by their association, aud
also to build a rice mill.
These resolutions propose a pretty big
undertaking for the planters and receivers,
and will require an immense capital In
TACT the undertaking is so big that many of
the planters and receivers would like to get
rid Of shouldering it. Their association is
to have conference with the millers' trust
to-day, with the view of discovering q way
in which the conflicting interests can be
harmonized
This trust business is getting to be quite
general, and promises to extend to almost
every branch of trade. If this promise is
realized, the different interests will be no
better off than they are now. Prices will
be higher, but profits will be no greater.
The trusts that are formed already, and a
few more, may make bigger profits for
a while, but the formation of trusts gem
orally will level up prices so that profits
will be no greater than they were under the
system of competition. Trusts can never
permanently take the place of competition

Ct. Louis June 5.-The most striking feature
Of the opening proceedings OF the Democratic

Democratic President in twenty-four years, that
he has distributed offices to his party with n
lavishness unknown hitherto in our history, and
that he is now coming up for unanimous renom-
nation. the GOODNESS and indifference with which
his personality is regarded is really curious TO
see More than one Democrat, who wouldn't for
