j lstice Gray's Toast

A few days ago, while crowds of hungry
people were streaming into the restaurant of
the United States senate soon after noon, q
number of patrons Of the place were aston
ished to hear a waiter calling out in an i'm
perative tone of voice: Bread for Justice
Gray's toastr The order was odd enough to
Justify passing curiosity. A moment after
1t had been shouted over the counter by the
waiter, Mr.. Page, the manager of the place,
rushed behind the lunch laden shelf, stooped
to find a pantry, and then bent over task
that could not be delegated to an appren-
tice. From a very nice loaf of bread
he cut four or five slices, each as
thin as q very thin wafer These were laid
carefully upon a platter and shot down tn,
dumb waiter TO the cook shop below, while
Mr.. Page explained to q curious patron that
Justice Gray would not have his toast any
thicker than lie had cut it, and that he was
20 critical that he could tell at once II any
body except the proprietor had cut 1t. The
big justice-hs is the largest man Of the
whole benct-does not lunch on toast
alone. He Is a very good feeder, but he il

Indianapolis Sentinel.
The Commercial Gdzette's war on the
six republican senators who voted to re-
iect Murat Halstead's nomination prom
Uses TO keep matters lively in the republi>
can camp for some time to come. What
ever else may be said OF Halstesd he is
hard fighter, and the republican senators
who have incurred his everl asting hatred
will probably have reason to wish they
had never been born, before he has done
with them.
The CONNIE, cial. Gazette thus catalogues
these SIX republican leaders:
One lPIumb1, q ''robber" in earlier life,
by the formal report of q board of army
officers. Endorsed by the unanimous re-
port OF republican committee of the
house of representatives, now a senator
of the United States from Kansas.
Another Ingalls, also from the same
state of Kansas, and president pro tenn
pore of the senate of the United States.
whose election was attended by fraud and
bribery, according to the report of six of
nine members of a senate committee. who,
however said further that the evidence
did not show that this senator personally
particip ated in it, or had personal knowl.
edge of it.
Another Fsrwell] against whom it
has been repeatedly alleged that his seat
in the senate was secured exactly as Mr..
Payne's was, namely. by the purchase of
the caucus which nominated him.
Another lTellerl, who had been only
two days in the senate after his term of
| service in the interior department closed
before resolution of inquiry was intro
duced for the purpose OF exposing the
part which he had played in one of the
most extensive land frauds of recent
| years.
Another TEvarts]. who in published
card had declared to the public that he
was not connected with the notorious
| Credit Mobilier. and who. few weeks
later. was reported by committee of his
own political friends TO have been inter
ested, as charged.
Another CQuay1 who was part of all
the inside operations of the republican
rings which in days past have fattened
on Philadelphia. His course in this case
is as yet a mystery; but no one can fail
to see that Mr. Payne and his allies would
naturally turn with hope in his direction.
There is no reason to doubt that MIR.
Halstead is telling the truth about these
senators. although we cannot recall that
MIR. Evarts, who never served in con-
gress before his present term as senator.
was implicated in the Credit Nobilier
scandal. 1t seems to US, however, that
if Mr.. Halstead has known all this time
that Plumb was 'robber," Ingalls, q
'boodler, Farwel corruptiOni-t. Tel,
Ter land grabber and Quay ajobber, he
owes it to the public to explain why he
kept his mouth shut He should not have
waited for these rascals TO tread on his
toes before he exposed the them to the
country. But, according to the old ad
age. when a certain kind of men fall out,
a certain other kind of men get their
dues. 1t is being strikingly verified in
this business of Halstead and the rcpub>
lican senators.

New York, April 1O.--At a meeting of
the municipal council, Irish National league,
last night, John Devoy SUI omitted his ver-
sion of a controversy with Patrick Egan.
The Evening Telegram OF Wednesday last
published a Washington special stating that
in an interview Egan had charged Dewey
with inspiring an attack upon the genuine
ness of a cable dispatch describing Egan's
services in uumasking Pigott and had called
Dewey a ira tor. Dewey telegraphed Egan
that unless the statements were repudiated
he would hold Egan personally responsible.
and take ste IS TO vindicate his character
Dispatches were also sent to the president
and 50, Rotary of state, complaining of Egan's
| conduct, and regretting the scandal that
| must come from it
Egan replied that he had not given any in
terview abouI Dewey to the paper, but he had
no hesitation in expressing his belief that De-
voy was the author of the untruthful attack
upon him. pevoy rejoined that Egan's ut
terances, not his opinions were in question,
and demanded public denial of, or apology
/
piled that whatever his private opinion might
be, he had rot used the word referred to-

Dewey responded that he had solicited no
correspondents To decline it was therefore
an impertinence He had demanded public
| contradiction of foul SANDER. As Egan had
in the "sneall ng and cowarlly way that char
| acterized him j" insinuated the same Islander
before, there was reason to believe that he
was correctly reported Egan's first letter
was a "shufilng evasion, his second was a
self-evident lie, and conveyed an insult in a
form no one but cur would select" Egan
dared not publicly contradict the report, lest
he be proved 4 liar. To this Egan has not

In Town and Hamlet

The.seeds of intermittent and bilious re-
mittent fever terminate and bear evil
fruit. No community has altogether es-
capped it. In populous wards of large
cities bad sewage causes it, and in their
suburbs stagnant pools in sunken lots
breed it. There is at once a REM
edy and means of prevention. Its
name is Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, which is, without preadven-
ture, the most potent sntidote in exis-
tence to the malarial virus. Fortified
with this Incompatible. saving specific,
miasmatic influences may be encountered
with absolute impunity. Disorders OF
the stomach. liver and bowels, begotten
by miasma-tainted water, or any other
cause, succumb to the beneficent correc>
tive named, and rheumatic, kidney and
bladder troubles are surely removable by
its use when it is given persistent trial.

TRADE IN DOG-SklNS.
An Important Item In tho Export Business
of China.

OF China.
Mr.. Edgar, the Commissioner OF
Customs at tNewchwang, in Mantchuria,
in the last Chinese Customs Yellow
book, referring to the trade from that
port in robes and mats made of the
skins of dogs and goats, says it is gen.
orally supposed that dogs are picked
up promiscuously wherever they may
be found straying, destroyed, and their
skins sold to dealers. This, however,
is not the case, for, although the busi-
ness may have had its origin in this
way. it is now as Systematically carried
on as sheep-farming. There are thou
sands of small dog and goat-farms
dotted over Mantchuria and the eastern
borders of Mongolia, where from a
score to some hundreds OF dogs
are annually reared on each farm,
and where they constitute a regular
source OF wealth. A bride, for in
stance, will receive as dowry num-
Der OF dogs proportionate to the means
of her father. 1t is probable, says
Mr.. Edgar, that il no other part of
the world are there to be found such
splendid dogskins for size, length of
hair, and quality, the extreme cold of
these latitudcs, where the thermome-
ter registers 80 degrees Fahrenheit be-
low zero, developing magnificent
coat. 1t is difficult to understand how
the dog-farmer can afford with profit
to rear the animals when the price of
the robe is taken into consideration.
For one full-sized robe, say so inches
by sc inches, at least eight animals are
required. Putting the price real
lied at $500 for robe.
this would only allow about
As cents per skin, including the
selection. for the skins must match in
color and length of hair, and cost of
sewing. The animals are generally
strangled in mid winter, but not before
they are eight months old, and then
the skins taken in frozen condition
principally to Mukden and Chinchow,
where they are cured, assorted, and
made into robes, mats. etc. Last year
the robes are said to have been decid-
edly inferior in quality. The reason
given is that orders went forward too
late, and the farm ers, waiting till they
had news of some demand. kept the
animals alive until their winter coats
began to fall off. The value of the
trade from Newchang last year was
about f40,0o0, against nearly EGO, 900
the previous year The decline was
due to depreciation in value and Il de-
crea ,ed demand from the United
States. London Times.
