FISHING FOR PEARLS.

A Find Of a $500 Gem in Wiscon-
sin Causes Great Excitement,
The pearl excitement in Albany, Wis, Is
at its height. Although clans are getting
scarce and the divers have to dig in the mud
in the bottom of the river, the finds are more
numerous and valuable than ever. The
largest and by far the most valuable pearl in
Wisconsin was found recently. A New York
buyer offered $500 for it, but his figure was
considered too low.
Hundreds of small pearls are found and
sold daily. The purchasers are agents of Chi
cago New York and Paris houses. Visitors
and clam hunters are pouring into the vii

arc dotted with tents.

SUNSET" COX DEAD.
Death of the Weli-Known New
York Congressman.
A Sketch Of His Long and Event.
full Public Career.

Congressman S. S. Cox died about half.
past 8 o'clock in the evening at his home, No.
13 East Twelfth street, New York city, from
peritonitis. His wife, Dr. Lockwood and q
few friends were at his bedside. Hewa con-
scious almost to the end. During the day ho
recognized his wife, some Of his friends and
an old colored servant who ncne, on from
Washington to see him.
Only a few days before, Mr.. Cox was pre-
pairing speech on tb. new States, embo6y-
ing his recent observations in the West, for
delivery before tb. Judge Steckler Associa-
ton, Democrsac club in Second avenue,
New York ciSy. The title of his lecture was
.eThe Wo.derland." The members of the
society. s.net at their rooms, and sat about in
eloo,ny groups reading with anxiety the fire.
Su,nt bulletins from Twelfth street, and at
l.ngth the news came shat their friend had
gone to the Wonderland of which he could
tell them nothing.
There were many callers at the house dur
ing the day, and kilograms were received
from the Turkish Minister and other
well-known men: Among the friends
George Francis Train, Congressman
John J. O'Neil, Of St. Louis; ex-Judge
Charles P. Daily, James NJ. Seymour,
United States Marshal McMahon, General
Roger A. Pryor and John T. Agnew. Mrs.
CoI's brother, E. B. Buckingham, of Zanes-
vile, Ohio, arrived in the afternoon, as also
did her sister, Mrs. Hardenburg.
About two years ago MIR. Cox had serious
illness from which it was not thought he could
recover, and the recollection of his wonderful
rally at that time, after the physicians had
pronounced his case hopeless, caused his
friends to cherish the hope that the same
thing might happen again. Almost his last
words were in regard to the new States Of the
great West, and plans which he had formed
for advocating the admission Of New Mexico
and Wyoming at the next session of Con.
gress.
A change which told Of the approaching
end took place early in the day, and in spite
Of his cheerfulness and brave effort to hold
on to life, he sunk gradually, and even at five
o'clock the doctors thought death so immi-
nent that members of the household were
summoned to the bedside.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
THE LEAGUE PLATFORM.

The deliverance of the Republican
League Convention yesterday was princi-
pally noticeable for its careful adherence to
the regulation line of Republican utter
ances. 1t was safe and conservative rather
than brilliant, original or radical.
The rumored resolution calling for the
repeal of the civil service act was conspie-
uous by its absence. This is a creditable
demonstration that the membership of the
Republican clubs take a higher view of
politics than to make it a mere competition
for spoils, and accept Republican pledges as
more binding than the duty of rewarding
party workers. Outside of this the deliv-
erances which indorse the administration,
call for the protection of colored people in
the South, denounce the Democratic grab
in West Virginia, pay honor to the vet
Grams of the war, and indorse Boyer and
Beaver are decidedly of the conventional
character.
1t would have been interesting if the Or
ganization could have risen to the height of
shaping party policy on such questions as
corporation or trust abuses. But perhaps it
would be too much to expect purely polit-
ical organizations to break over the rule of
following rather than leading public
opinion.

PROMOTIONS IN THE ARMY.
A Lively Contest Promised for Three Posi-
tions Soon to Be Vacant.

A Lively Contest Promised for Three Posi-.
tions Soon to Be Vacant.
WASHINGTON, September "a. - Secretary
Proctor is occupying his spare time before the
return of the President examining the applica-
tions of candidates for the vacancies that are
to occur next week in the subsistence and
Quartermasters' departments of the armv.
through the retirement of two officers on ac-
count of age. These are Colonel Amos Beck
with, subsistence department, and Captain
Charles 81. Hoyt, Quartermasters' department..
the former retiring October 4, and the latter
September 80. Besides these there is another
vacancy that has been left untitled since the
retirement of Colonel William w. Burns, sub
sistence department, September l, because it
was then thought best to wait and fill all the
places at once. These retirements necesstate
the appointment of two commissaries of SUBJ
sistance with the rank of Captain, and one Of
Assistant Quartermaster with the same rank
1t is ordinarily presupposed that such vacan-
cies shall be filled by promotion from the line
of the army, and, of course. servlcemen declare
that they should be so filled, but there is be-
lief growing that Secretary Proctor and the
President intend to take advantage of law
passed during the Arthur administration,
which provides that such appointments may be
made from civil life.
The Adjutant- Generals Department the
pay department, and the ordnance department.
are so constituted by law that vacancies must
be filled from the army, while the Quarter
masters, medical, subsistence and Judge-Ad.
vocates Department are open to civilians. The
retirement of Colonel Beckwith will cause the
promotion of fLieutenant-Colonel George Bell
to be Colonel, Major Michael Small to be
Colonel, and Captain Charles B,
Penrose to be Major.

he had not had the habit of frequently
laying his left foreinger alongside his nose.
The detective knew he had the Simon pure
embezzler when he saw that left forefnger
travel to its accustomed couch in the lee of
a Spanish nasal organ.
Of habit of putting the left forefnger
beside the nose it may be said that il is
esthetically in bad taste; it lends suspic-
ion of irony to the expression, and can easily
be interpreted in an offensive sense by other
parties. Financially speaking the case of Mr..
Baruch demonstrates the costliness of the
habit Supposing Mr.. Baruch put his fin
ger to his nose one hundred and fifty thou
sand times during his lifetime up to date,
each indulgence cost him one dollar. He
could have had great deal more fun with
dollar than that, had he taken thought.
So, unless a man harbors no ambition to
reach wealth via embezzlement and Canada,
there are plenty of reasons why he should
not fall into the inartistic, offensive and e1-
pensive habit of laying his LETT forehnger to
his nose

A SUGGESTION TO VISITORS.

The tens of thousands of Pittsburg's
friends from neighboring towns and adjacent
country who have been throngiug our streets
this week, certainly do not find the occasion
short of attractions. Not only the Exposi-
tion, but the circus and the regular places
of amusement with lively attractions con-
tribute abundantly to the entertainment of
eye and ear, not to speak of the profit of the
pocket or the instruction OF the mind. But
the most interesting of the sights, we are
sure, is the one which Pittsburg itself pre-
sents, of large city in that process of grand,
visible growth which illustrates the wonder
full industrial and mercantile activity Of the
times we have happened upon.
1t is privilege to live in an age like
this, when upon every line of natural prog
ress human intelligence is making astonish-
ing advances. The PiUtsburg of to-day,
with its six, eight and ten-story buildings;
its cable cars whirling along by steam
power at twice the old-time rate of speed;
its handsome bridges spanning the rivers at
many new points; its magnificent new
county buildings which are justly esteemed
the finest in the land; its long-promised
postofice taking on final proportions; its
new Exposition quarters, whose present
stage is but glimpse and an assurance of
what they will be when completed-the
Pittsburg of to-day, we may confidently
suggest, is vastly interesting and instruc-
tive when compared with the Pittsburg of
fifteen years ago, when the first Exposition
was held across the river upon Smoky Isl
and.
Much though the visitor will see in the
city proper, they will miss the most agree
able and pleasing experience if they fail to
take in what were formerly mere suburbs, but
are now the residence quarters of the Pitts
burg and Allegheny. An hour or two can
not be more delightfully."- spent than by
making the tour of Fifth and Penn avenues
through the East End. by cable, or by tax
ing like trip through Allegheny. Our
friends and neighbors who have been hear
ing with wonder of the fabulous growth Of
Chicago, Minneapolis, Kansas City and
other famous towns of the West, will at once
see that Pittsburg, toe, has put on its seven
leagued boots, like the giant in the fable,
and is making such astonishing strides to-
ward pre-eminence as, a few years ago, the
most imaginative could not have dreamed
of.
And in viewing these abounding evil
dences of Pittsburg's growth, our visitors
will have, besides, the gratifying knowledge
that the prosperity and advancement which
they see here, as well as the splendid pros
poets for the future which these things pre-
sage, but typify and illustrate on a large
scale the conditions of activity throughout
the whole region. 1t is the growth and
development of Western Pennsylvania,
Eastern Ohio, West Virginia and Northern
Maryland which is SO largely making the
wonderful growth of Pittsburg.
