Naked on the Floor.

Naked on the Floor.
PATERSON, N. J., June 28.-Four women
and two men, all of disreputable character,
were discovered dead about o'clock to-
night in house of i'll fame at No. Al Ryle
avenue. Death was caused by asphyxiation.
Three of the women were stretched at full
length on the floor and half naked. The
Oldest, who was about 40 years of
age, was lying in pool Of blood
which came from an. ugly wound on
the head, and covered her face and
body. Her right eye was almost torn from
the socket, and her face was horribly
swollen. The fourth woman, who was
about II years of age, was sitting on la
rocking chair near the front window with
her arms folded. One of the men was
found in the rear of the house lying on a
cot with his mouth open and his tongue
protruding. His tongue was swollen to
almost four times its normal size.
THE KEEPER OF THE DIVE.
He was the keeper of the dive, named
Goodfreid, about 80 years old. His place
has been a harbor for lewd women for
more than year. The other man was
found in sitting position, with his head
resting on a bed on which GodfreId was
lying. Near him was gas stove, which
had evidently done the fatal work. The
dead persons were last seen about 10 O'Clock
Wednesday night going into the dive, and
it is believed tnat they have been dead
since Thursday morning. The coroner and
police are investigating the case.

THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT SYSTEM.
How IL Operates as Described by a Resi-
dent of that Country.

An Australian, who is stopping at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel, j. s. Morrison, con-
sented to-day to give reporter some
points about what is known as the Aus
tralian ballot system. The Australian
law is the basis of the Saxton reform bill,
and has been copied in Massachusetts,,
where it is to have practical test. The
charges of corruption during the recent
campaign have been so prominent that at
tention has been turned promptly to posi-
bic remedies. Mr.. Morrison was asked IL
it was not possible to issue ballot similar
TO that provided by the State, but already
marked, so that the voter could be con-
trolled within party lines by the knowledge
of how he was voting. He replied:
There has been no such attempt made
with us, so | cannot say, except that il is
my Judgment that it could not be done. If
the makeup of the ticket and the color of
the paper should get out an automatic reg
istering machine numbering each ballot as
given out wouid prevent the successful
issue of forged ballots. You Americans
are very ingenious about such machinery.

fraud of the kind you suggest an ALSO

Banker Morgan's Horses.

Edwin D. Morgan, the young million
aire banker, who has large stock farm a
mile from Hampstead, l.. l., is in peck OF
trouble. He has lately become something
of sport, and early last week he gave
orders to his head hostler to have the tails
of thirty of his blooded horses 'sdocked''
or banged" in the most approved dude
style. Mr.. Morgan has claimed dictinction
the elusive anise-seed bag. He has also
essayed the task of riding polo ponies at
the Cedarhurst Jockey Club Track He is
a member of the club.
The docking of the thirty horses tails is
what is likely to cause him trouble from
Mr. Bergh's agents. The horses were
nearly all thoroughbreds, and were placed
in frame wise near the stables and each
in turn had its tail cut off short The
animals were screwed up in the wise so
that they could not make a movement.
Any motion was impossible. Then the
knife was applied, and after the greater
part of the tail had been chopped off a red
hot iron was applied to the bleeding wound
to cauterize it. The poor animals screamed
one after the other as they were lead up to
the wise. The poor brutes seemed to real
ize what was in store for them, and each
in turn endeayored to escape before being
placed in the machine. All the horses are
now laid up, their wounds being still un-
healed.
Henry Bergh, the President of the Sect
ETY. for the Prevention of Cruelty to an
finals, when he was informed of the case
last night, promised that it should have
the immediate attention of his society,"

Modern Royal Road to Fame.

Let 1t be remembered that there are
three component parts in dramatic ex-
hibition; the author who writes, the actors
who represent, and the public that re-
ceiyes and appreciates. OF these three the
public is, in the estimation of the artists,
the most important. And, indeed, il was
so, when it exercised freely its powers of
appreciation, and thus brought forward
the great dramatists and the great actors,
whose lives were ended when the press
undertook to Judge for the masses In fact,
1t exercises no such universal SWAY, but the
players believe it does; the dramatists re-
iuctantly are led to believe SO, too for
managers are misled by its praise or its
censure to encourage or neglect according
to its directions or its supposed influence
As a matter of fact, il has never been able
to kill good play, or to injure irremedi-
ably good actor, because its chief power
is exerted only during very brief period,
while the play or actors send forth a bulk
of the spectators, night after night, to
testify as to their merit. So the tempo
rary impression of the press is overcome !;
but it does exercise such an influence
that poor entertainment is advertised
into success, and the career of a
young artist, who may have some merit, is
destroyed by reckless censure or ribald
abuse. When the artist discovered that
there was royal road to fame, and that
success might be obtained by cultivating
notoriety in type, he 3said to himself:
Nineteen men out of twenty are fools.
