Judge Seney as a Compromise.

A United Press dispatch from Tifin, Ohio,
says that there 10 a movement on the part Of
the Ohio democrats to nominate Representa-
tive Geo. z. seney for governor. The two
prominent candidates now are j. f. Campbell
of Butler, who is a high-tarif democrat, and
l.. Il. Neill, Of Ross, who is for low tariff
Neither Of these represent the party in this
state on the tariff question, while Judge Seney
is in accord with the party on all questions. In
an interview Judge Seney said: i have been
urged by the party throughout the state to
come out as q candidate, bat have no ambi-
ton in that direction, and while am not can
didate, Am for democratic principles and the
democratic party, and believe with the right
man at the head and platform that gives out
no uncertain sound the party will be victorious
at the polls"

THE M'DOw TRIAL,
District-Attorney Jervey's Argument
The Prisoner Smiles.

After the report of the Mellow trial in THE
STAR had closed yesterday Mr.. Jervey made an
able argument for the prosecution. In his
closing remarks he said the defense complained
that Capt Dawson had no right to enter
McDows house. The shooting occurred in DIR.
McDows office, not in his house. DIR. Mellow
himself, however, had repeatedly sneaked into
Capt. Dawson's house for the most disgraceful
of purposes. He was seeking victim in the
poor Swiss girl She was peculiarly situated
With the exception of Mr.. and Mrs. Dawson
she was entirely friendless. The doctor was
dsgracing his own wife and family. As an
excuse for his conduct the doctor said that the
poor girl was not a member of Capt. Dawson's
family, but only o servant. Are we TO assume
from that that servants are fair game for a
lustful man! She was closer to the family
than servant, for she was the governess OF
the children 1t was Capt Dawsons duty to
protect her. He could not discharge her on
rumors alone. and he took . Just course
in endeavoring to ascertain what ground
there was for these rumora You
saw her upon the stand. You know the disad-
vantage from which she suffered when the poor
child was compelled by law to stand a cross
examination such is seldom heard in a court
room. conducted with an ability that this bar is
proud Of She did herself credit. She told the
truth. though at times 1t compromised and
moruneQ her. Compare her bearing with that
of DIR. Mellow when he was on the stand
When counsel asked him whether he thought
his conduct toward her was gentlemanly, he
replied: We'll, hardly; she was SO willing"
Mr.. Jervey closed his argument by saying that
DIR: Mellow had grossly wronged his wife and
child He told this girl that his wife was q
German and that he married her for her
money.
On. NJ DOW SMILING.
Here Mr.. Jervey abruptly closed. II was not
an imprisoned speech. II was delivered with
no attempt at dramatic effect There we're no
sweeping gestures and no rhetorical 1ourishes
1t was plain speech, delivered in plain man.
ner. DR.. Mellow smiled during the district at
torney's reference to the poor Swiss girl When
Mr.. Jervey referred TO his wife and child, how
ever, the expression of his face became dark
and ominous. The district attorney spoke for
an hour and three-quartera Mr.. Cohen, of
counsel for the defense, begged off on account
OF rheumatism iii the shoulder, and the court
adjourned until 10 a. m. to-day. Judge Ker-
shaw said that he would keep the court in SEES
sion until the case was ended. Mr.. Cohen will
be the first speaker this morning. Governor
McGrath is to follow him, and Mr. Mitchell. of
the prosecution, will make the final argument

A Pittsburg special to the New York Sun
says: DIR. W. d. Rankin, Of Allegheny City,
went to the post-ofice yesterday morning and
in his mail found letter addressed to his wife.
This missive referred TO n pleasant time the
writer had with Mrs. Rankin on a railroad ex-
cursion and appointed . meeting for that
afternoon at the Central hotel. this city. Tue
doctor scaled up the note and gave It to his
wife, who kept the appointment The doctor
arrived a few minutes later and discovered
that the writer Of the letter was Z. W. Pitts,
assistant cashier Of McKeesport bank. DIR.
Rankin did not enter into an extended argu-
ment. A few minutes later the guests of the
Central hotel wore surprised to see q cashier
fleeing down stairs, pursued by the doctor and
several cuspidors. The cashier was struck BY
one of the spittoons and badly cut on the head,
but escaped further injury. The doctor will
separate from his wife

NIcnding Extraordinary.

IN these days stockings cost so little.
and time has become so valuable that Il.
pays better to replace the old with new as
soon as the former begins to show signs of
wear; and so, stocking mending has nearly
gone out of fashion. But there are still
situations where it may be necessary. Lis
ten to the ingenious way in which South
American traveller contrived to mend his
hose without taking stitch. In the Bra
lillian woods arc quantities of tree called
the mangaba, the milk or sap of whicl.
has many of the properties of that of the
true India rubber tree, and may some day
be used in Its place. BY spreading some
of this thick milk on piece of cloth
slightly larger than the area of the hole
to be repaired, filing the stocking with
sand or sticking the prepared cloth over
the hole, and then coagulating the milk by
the addition of little acid, the rent place
has been rendered stronger than any other
part Of the stocking, for it will never come
off. Clothes of all kinds, including boots
and rubber cloaks, are patched in the snmc

"Henry, dear" said Mrs. Newbritlslo
her husband the other morning. 81 wish,
If it won't be too much trouble, dear, that
you'd bring me homo a yard of orange rib
bon this evening. don't want 1t so very
wide nor so very narrow; something be-
tween an inch and an inch and half, or,
at most IN inch and three quarters, will
he about right. Be sure and get pretty
shade Of orange, dear, and I'd prefer 1t
with one side satin and the other gros-
grain, although all satin or all gros-grain
will do; but think you can easily get the
other If YOU look around little; and be
sure, dear, not to get q picquet-edge rib
bon, but one with just n plain corded edge;
and don't get slazy piece; and don't get
any shade but orange; not real vivid or

well with pale green; and don't pay over
S5 or 40 cents for 1t; and don't get red or

His Proposal All Thcro.

There is in Washington young type
writer whose good looks and charming
manners justify the sentiments which her
employer feels toward her. He is in the
habit Of debating his correspondence,
while her expert fingers transfix the words
as he utters them. The other morning lie
concluded to settle the uncertainty which
had come into his existence by asking her
to marry him. She was engaged on some
copying when he approached her and
poured out his sentiments, and notwitli-
standing the warmth of his pleading kept
right ahead with the clickerty, click, click
of the instrument. In fact, she paid SO
little attention to him that he became dis
couraged and left the room, intending to
speak 10 her when her mind was free from
lier duties. He went to his lunch and on
his return sat down to sign lot of letters
that lay on his desk. There was large
pile, and he went through it mechanically
until he struck sheet near the bottom.
Jumping 10 his feet, he simply exclaimed:

he was hit in the arm, then in the leg,

he should have another chance, though
his antagonist WAS as yet uninjurcd.
In view OF such ridiculous persistency

were little imperfect, but were good

examined the machine and saw him

IL in the machine and saw tho rcd hot

from home and found 1t excellent The
only secret was the chemical wnter
into which the files dropped and which

VIVA. Nj. paruoll Ha. Dome For Dublin.

Anything wnlch DearS upon the pub
lie services OF Mr.. Parnell and his
party must be OF especial interest to
the citizens of Edinburgh at tho pres
ent time. AS nobody is able to indi-
cate any particular service which Mr..
Parncll has rendered TO Edinburgh, it
may compensate in some measure for
tho lack OF information on this point il
some account is furnished OF Mr.. Par
Dublin. At the Dublin municipal cleo
tions of 1881 the Parnellites obtalnd a
majority in the corporation, and sig
nalized their accession to power by
raising the Lord Mayors salary from
f2,000 to f3,00o year. The use OF
the Mansion house costs the city e.,
500 per annup more, and these cmol-
uments were granted for the express
purpose OF enabling the Lord Mayor to
discharge the functions OF his Office in
the matter of public entertainment.

1887 there was debit balance OF G5, :
553. Again, on December 81, 1881 The
mortgage and bonded debts on the
City Estate, the Improvement fund and
the Water fund amounted to 1867, 664;
on December 81, 1887 the amount OF
these debts had increased TO II, 1JO-

tightening OF taxation, for the taxes

DISADVANTAGE, Of an Elixir of Lif,,

Dr. Brown-SeQuard, the eminent
French physician, the most eminent
authority on nervous diseases il the
world, it is said has at last discovered
the long-sought elixir OF life.
This elixir hyperdermically inserted
into the veins of the most decrepit oc-
togenarian will make him a young man
again. He will sport and play and
gambol in all the hilarity of rejuvenat-
ed youth. Dr. Brown -Seau ,rd himself,
who is seveuty-two years old. like tLo
brave man that he is, tried his own
medicine. In a few hours he begun
to feel young aud mischievous. He
soon went to skipping rope, like n
school girl, and would have kept this
exercise up indefinitely. if the skipping
rope had not kept tanglng in his long
gray beard.
DR.. Brown-Seluard, who might have
become millionaire by keeping the
secret to himself and selling his med
icine at dollar n bottle, has, with un-
exampled generosity given the secret
TO the world. What magnanimous
example for DR.. Aver and DIR. Hood,
and DR.. Hostcttor to initiate. Tho med
icine is m de by pounding the vitals of
live animals in mortar, extracting
tho juice of the mixture, aud storing it
away for future use. There seems to
be no reason now why every man
should not be his own Methuselah, and
live on indefinitely in spite of the
heartfelt remonstrauces OF his heirs.
Right here Il practical difficulty oD-
trudes itself. The earth is now pretty
well parcelled out among the men now
living. If they continue to live in
definitely what will their future de-
scendants, who will want the earth Just
as much us their ancestors did, do?
The earth will all be appropriated by
these chronic pltriarchs. In the course
of time all men bora into the world
will como upon planet that DOESN'T
belong to them, and which they find Is
already claimed by few thousand
year-old men who refuse to give it NJ.
OF course, the lawyers profession
will languish. There will be no wills
to fight over, and, consequently, little
money in the business.
There will be absolutely no show
whatever for doctors; and as people
will remain on this world indefinitely,
the clergyman will find his occupation
gone 1t is also very gloomy outlook
for nurses AMI undertaiserS.
So many people being suddenly
thrown out OF employment, it would
not be strange il great Labor difficult
ties should arise. In fact. great in-
dustrial panic may be looked for.
But, possibly, these fears are all
groundless. Perh ,ps DIR. Brown Sc-
guards elixir will not work any better
