THIRD PARTY THINNESS.

If Prohibitionists only received 1900
votes in Vermont where they claim 90
600 and only $500 in Maine. where they
expected $4,000, how many can they
count upon elsewhere in the face Of the
shameful alliance between the Prohibi-
ton and Democratic leaders. and the
THANK God" of Brooks rebel speeches.
The object of third party advocates east
and west has been and still is to defeat
the Republican party. Talk with one of
that following from any quarter and he
Will betray their purpose before he has
conversed five minutes.
For the sake of appearances, the
Democratic party will get a slight hit
occasionally, but first, last, and all the
time the Republican party must be beat
en-. Then its members would all know
enough 10 come over to the national
Prohibition party. 1t is a conceited
bigoted scheme, without a shadow
of the element of success in it.
They admit Democrats would re-
peal our prohibitory laws, but after ev-
erything became so very bad-so people
could not stand it-there would then be
sudden focking to the third party
standard. On this basis the worse we
become the sooner we get better. Put
the worst elements in power and then
expect good results 10 follow. General
Harrison is as good q prohibltionist and
can do more fer the cause of temperance
than any other candidate. because he Is
backed by great moral party; while
any true patriot who votes for that rebel

In the little matter of whether Have
myer, the sugar king and head of the
sugar trust, was before the ways and
means committee while the Mills bill
was being prepared, as stated by Mr.
Blaine in his Goshen, Ind, speech, there
seems to be question of veracity. Mr..
Mills, the chairman of the committee
and father of the bill, promptly denied
Mr.. Blaine's statement and gave it out
through the Associated press that Have
myer was not before the committee, in
person or by attorney. In his New Al.
bany speech Monday Mr.. Blaine read
from the Congressional Record state
ments made By two members of the
committee that both Havemyer and his
attorney were before the committee. 1t
is, therefore, left for Mr. Mills and his
two colleagues to harmonic the discrep-
ancy between their statements and the
record

When the Morrison tariff bill was de-
feated in 1884, the London Telegraph
commented as follows: "a bill to estab-
fish in America what the English call
free trade has inst been defeated in the
house by narrow majority of four. The
measure was of enormous importance
for English manufacturers. as it would
have enabled them to export goods to the
states without.the crushing tariff now
imposed, and its fate was watched with
intense interest by Englishmen. Were
it passed it would have been worth &c.
0OO,OO6 $50, 900, 600 per annum to Brit
ish manufacturers. The English man
ufacturers, however, are completely sat-
isfied with its substitute in the Mills bill,
and are ready to thank the Democratic
party for both.

A Remarkable Case of Amnesia.

The many strange phenomena of amnesia have been enriched by the experience'of one of the ablest living psychologists, Professor Bain. Some months ago Professor Bain fell from his horse, and was unconscious for about three hours afterwards. During this time his shoulder, which had been sprained by the accident, was set without his knowI- edge. Upon regaining consciousness, it was found that he had lost all remembrance of what had occurred an hour before the acci- dent, as we'll as of the three hours following. He was found on a different road from that which he can remember having intended to take, and so must have changed his mind. Of this he has lost ali recollection; otherwise there were no mental effects
 The editor of Mind, who tells the story adds another case in which gentleman, af- ter falling from carriage, remained un- conscious for nearly four months Upon re- awakening, not only was this interval a total blank to him, but the events of the week pre- ceding the accident were equally lost. Inn portant transactions which he had made during that week were forgotten. This sug. gests that there may be some relation be- tween the duration of unconsciousness after the accident and the memory blank before At all events, the phenomena, mysterious as they are, deserve to be recorded. The au- thenticity and careful analysis of the above cases add to their value.-Science

THE WORLD OF SPORTS.

Kingsbury defeated Sanderson 25O to POS in the billiard tournament games at Hartford last night. Kellogg and Sander son will play tonight.
 The New Ravens easily defeated the Meridens to last night. Cunning, the ex-New Haven player, rushed for the Mer- idens and put up miserable game.
 Steve Brady of Hartford, who is man. ager of the New Yorks, will make an ap- plication to have the New York and Jer- sey city clubs admitted to the Connecticut league.
 Waterbury won't pay much for any one. Their expenses are nearly S35O per week, and the rink holds only 800 people. They haven't taken in but S90 game since MT Jacques took hold of it.-Telegram Yes, and you might note also, that barring Riley, Sword and Menard, Waterbury would give nothing for the Hartford team
 Wodtke, New Haven boy, is said to have been the best player in the New York league. He was not good enough to play on any team in the home league, and there is little likelihood that the metropolitan teams could in any way compete with the teams here. If this is the case the games in which the New York and Jersey City teams played would not draw many spec tators, and would be simply a loss to the Connecticut clubs.

A Fat Man Who Whistles.

"Won't you please stop, sir; it's making mo nervous" The person addressed a fat man with a boyish countenance, turned quickly to the speaker, a sort of woman's rights looking little woman, and said, ill 0 tone of embcr- rassment: "Stop what?"
 "Whistling," she replied.
 The fat man blusned and glanced around the car. Every passenger was looking in his direction, and @ testy man opposite muttered something like "Thank goodness, some one has shut him up." As quickly as he could pick his $50 pounds off the seat the fat man left the car.
 The offender is politician and an office holder. He says the habit of whistling pop ular airs is almost second nature with him. No sooner does he enter @ car and get com fortably seated than he begins to whistle in a low tone without knowing it. He is diffident, and frequently when he happens to look around at his fellow passengers and catches them either laughing or frowning he knows that he has been whistling He makes his escape immediately if he is riding on a sur- face car, or if on the elevated road he gets out at the next station. Not long ago he paid a visit to the mayors office Several heads of bureaus were already there to make reports. He took place on the sofa to await his turn In few minutes he was warbling softly. The mayor had passed a sleepless night The officer knew it. He touched the fat man on the shoulder. The fat man understood what he had done and was gratt11ful to the attend ant.-New York Mail and Express.

Miss Mary Truesdalc E1opes With Bridge
 ports Half-Back.
 A Meriden dispatch says: MT and Mrs Truesdale, who live in Hicks block on West Main street, mourn the loss of their daughter Mary who left her home last week and has not been seen since by the distracted partents.
 Miss Truesdale is a pretty girl of F years and for some time past she has been much in the society Of polo players. Strange as it may seem she would have nothing to do with the home team, and the beauty of Adonis Valiant and Gentleman Hanna ford, were alike lost upon her. She sought the mpanionship of John Smith, the half-back of the Bridgeport team, and the pair have been much in company lately.
 On Tuesday last the girl was seen in New Haven with young man and the next day she was in Bridgeport. On Thursday sl e is known to have been in low resort n Union street, Bridgeport, since which time she has not been heard of.
 The members of the Bridgeport Polo team say that John Smith left for Boston a few days ago, but that they do not know where he is at present. It is said, howev- CT, that when Smith is found Miss Trues- dale will be discovered also
