The Retort Courteous.

From the New York Letter to P1ttSDurS DlSpatcei
 Prompt and effective was the action of 8 thin, kesn-eyed woman whom saw in the millinery department of 8 big store. Spin ster was written sn her face, and defiance of ege was noticeable in the material and cut of her wardrobe. She informed a saleswoman her..Eastsr bonnet must be bought then and there. She was too tired of shopping to go a a step further. The willing but inconsidernte clerk took down bonnet of sober character with the remark:
 sThis think will please yeu; it is very suitable for middle aged lady"
 The spinstsr quietly requested her to put the bonnet on her own head, which the un- suspscting woman, herself of an uncertain age, promptly did. Then looking her full in the face the irats and ancient maiden sweetly said:
 It fits you perfectIy-perfectly; you were right, it is just ths bonnet for middle aged person."
 The saleswoman bit her lip and removed the bonnet in speechless chagrin. She kasw her want of tact had cost her custo- mer. The Easter bonnet was sought for else where.

All she Leading Reads Represented at
 thc Denver Convention or Railroad
 Conductors.
 DENVER, May 14-The annual convention of the Order of Railroad Conductors opened here to-day. The delegates represent all the leading railroads in the country. There is 8 larger attendance than at any previous convention. The annual report was pre- ssnted by W. P. Daniels, grand secretary. The record of divisions organized during 1888, he said, Is the smallest since 1881, al though it is not by any means 6 bad one, and, as our experience has amply demon strated in the past, it is not to try and or ganize a great number of divisions, half @ dozen being much better than 6 larger num- Der of poor ones, and charters have been re- fused to six places during the year. The number of divisions January was 225 or ganized during to year IT, closed 5, total in operation 237. Notwithstanding that the order has been disbanded west of the Missis- sippi river that 1t does not meet the require- ments of organized labor; that representa- tives of sixty divisions have connected them~ selves with an organization that has as its is wanted by the enemies of the order to use as an instrument of re- venge and as a catspaw later, the record shows one steady prosperous gain. The number of members January l, 1858, was little over F, GOO; while on January l, 1889, it had reached 14.000. The insurance de- pertinent shows slight increase. The total income for the year is $164, 7S2, while the disbursements were $162, 723. Sixty-two policies, aggregating s145,O00, have been paid during the year. The convention will be in session for several days. An infuen- tial delegation of business mon is in the city for the purpose of inducing the convention to locate the proposed general offices of the order in this city. The amount to be ex- pended in it's construction is a half million dollars.

 points along the Hudson last night. THE 0. N. G. The Military Exhibition and M usical Entertainment at the Armory Last Evening-The Closing Battalion Drill To-Night-Fun Uniform-Review by the Governor.
 The entertainment which was given at the armory last evening by Company A, Fifth
 battalion, and the Independent cornet band, which is composed entirely of colored local musicians was well patronized, large au- dience being present. The band, under the leadership of J. W. Cowles, rendered good music at intervals between the exhibition of Go. A, Wilkins guard, which is commanded by Captain D. s. Lathrop. Among the spec tators on the seats along the side of the amory and in other places were several officers of the regiment, who frequently com plimented the soldiers for meritorious execu- tion of difficult orders. The drill in the manual under command of First Lieutenant Tlghman was creditable. The difficult bayonet exercise was well done.
 The tent pitching and striking was interesting. The four men who were detailed for this part of the pro- grsmme, pitched the tent last evening in thirty-six and half seconds. The silent drill by eight men was we'll executed. The military signaling was by Sergeant Major Saulsbury, who is chief signal officer of the Fifth battalion. A message suggested by Corporal Young of Co., D. was properly sent and correctly received. Five men who were detailed for rapid firing, fired S5 shots per minute, an average of F shots per man.
 The skirmish drill by bugle was frequently complimented by officers who are good judges of the exercise. Lieutenant Fuller contributed his share of the evenings enter tainment.
 The profits of the evening will be divided between the Wilkins Guard and the band. The military exercises at the armory this evening will be very interesting. After concert by the band and guard mounting the battalion will be reviewed by Governor Bulkeley. The dress parade and presenta- tion of marksmen's badges will follow. The new colors, State and national, will be used for the first time this evening. The enter taining music incidental to review and dress parade that will be rendered by the band will be one of the attractions of the evening. Owing to the extra expenses attending the occasion there will be an admittance fee of twenty-five cents.

BEFORE THE EMPEROR.

l The Striking Miners Hold An Inter
 view With the Emperer-Arbftra'
 tion Urged.
 BERLIN, May 14.-At Borhum to-day the strikers who drove off the miners who wish- { ed to return to work at the Prince Regent colliery yesterday were overawsd by the troops. The employers have sent deputa- | ton to Berlin to interview the emperor on Wednesday.
 Large quantities of English and Belgian coal are arriving at Essen. The strikers interview with the emperor lasted half an hour. Minister Herfuth was present. The emperor gravely listened to the grievances of the strikers and occasional ly asked questions. In reply to their eom- plsints he said he took deep personal in- terest in the welfare of his subjects in West phalia as he did in the welfare of all his sub gle and he had ordered thorough inquiry into the facts. He warned the delegation against the plottings of political and espec- ially socialist sgitations. He grieved that there had been rioting, and said that it was impossible to tolerate such conduct. "Tell your fellow-werkmen," he added, s'that the emperor himself, if necessary, will order the troops to batter and shoot the rioters, while if they are quiet the emperor will protect them"
 He hoped that the disputants would settle their differences without the government nneddling.
 The Post urges the government to arbi- trate between the mine owners and the strikers.
 The officials of the Stettin railroad have voluntarily raised their workmen's wages twenty pfennig per day.
 Several mine owners in Essen and Dart mund have conceded the demands of their employees and the men have resumed work.
 It is estimated that the strikers are able to hold out for fortnight. If so they will paralyze the gas works in Paris.

Election in south Dakota.

ST. PAUL, Minn., May 1.-The election in South Dakota to-day wes for or against the Sioux Falls constitution so-called because it was four years ago adopted at that city, upon which the omnibus bill required another vote and for the election of delegates to a convention at Sioux Falls such convention to complete the work to be done before the presidential proclamation of statehood. The vote to-day was light, but the majority in favor of the constitution was overwhelming while the delegates elected to the conven- tion have been two Republicans to one Democrat, that division having been agreed on before the election. In North Da- kota delegates were elected to the constitu- tional convention which will convene at Bismarck July 4. Here, as in South Dakota, the minority party Democratic) was given one-third of the delegates. The returns so far as received indicate that with 8 few ex- captions the agreement ss to the division of the various delegations will be adhered to and the minority will be given hearing when the constitution is being framed.

LONDON, May 14.-Although the proseeu- tion is adjourned the raid on the aristocratic gamblers continues to be the prevailing topic. It is well known that others besides those actually arrested were present st the Field club. Everyone says to everyone else "What names do you suggests" Even the name of Montagu Williams, a we'll known and popular police magistrate, was widely rumored, but this is incorrect. Much sympathy is felt for the beautiful Lady Dudley, whose son, the young Earl, is guaranteeing his patrimony. It is said that her alarm at his gambling set the police on the Field club.

THE RovLANGER TRIAL.

The Senatoria Court Finds Difficulty fn Framing a Specific Charge.
 PARIS, May 14.-The Nineteenth Century, in an apparently inspired article, says that the senatorial court finds difficulty in framing specific charge against General Boulanger. Some senators propose that nolle prosequi be entered in his case, others that he be tried at the Assizes, and still others that he be court-martialled. It is believed, the paper says, that the proceedings against General Boulanger will fail and that the prosecution of M. Rochefort will be abandoned.
