To Aid a Poor Family.

A fair given for the benefit of a poor
family took place yesterday afternoon
and evening at Lafayette Wigwam.
Mrs. Dear was the manager and prime
mover, but at the last minute could
not come owing to sickness. During
the evening there were about one hun
bred and fifty people present, who
bought anything from a stick of candy
to a bureau cover at the tables. In
the afternoon Willie Brotzman and
Annie Stinson played a piece and
twelve children from the Home of the

Mr.. Potts and Mr.. Francois.

Apparently he does not know why,
certainly he can convey no intelligent
idea to any one else of the u OF his
dislike. He does not like it; that is
all, and the Democratic party may
just go to ruin for all he cares.
Well, Potts is simply stupid; but
just look at our own Francois. The
bills Francois is interested in are o
reported by the Judiciary Committee
fast enough to suit him. Therefore
he.proposes to use the Werts Bill as a
club. He likes the bill. He knows
his constituents are clamoring for its
passage. But he doesn't care, he
wants his bills pushed ahead.
Perhaps Mr.. Francois may think it
just as we'll to come down like the
coon, and use some more legitimate
argument to advance his bills.
Mr.. Jay Gould's st. Louis interview,
wherein he is reported to have said
that the railroad business had not
been SO bad in thirty years, is stirring
| up the bulls in the New York Stock
Exchange. Some Of them take refuge
in the declaration that Mr.. Gould
never said anything of the kind.
There is another explanation which is
suggested by a careful study OF MIR.
Gould's record and a calm, dispassion-
estimate of his character, namely, that
Jay is preparing to buy something
which he can't steal, and is knocking
| down the price of it with his all pow

THE stories of the disagreement in
the Palma Club over the Board of Trus-
tees, which The JERSEY CITY News
has been permitted, by its %unenter-
prising local contemporaries, to pub
fish exclusively, leave two or three
questions unanswered.
Why, in the first place, do not the
boys want Mr.. Ed. Linn to be Chair
nan of the Board of Trustees
Why, in the second place, is Mr..
Fred. Wolbert especially singled out,
from among the Nominating Commit
tees candidates, for defeat
And, in the third place, why is the
strength of the opposition party
directed against Mr.. Frank Baldwin ?
Here is a tip that will enable our
leepy contemporaries to take up the
story where it stands at present.

FIRING RED HOT SHOT.
Evangelist King Gives the Girls a Few
SharD Pointers.

Evangelist King Gives the Girls a Few
Sharp Pointers.
Evangelist King was greeted last
night by an audience of about 400
people who desired to hear his odd
stories. OF course, not all the people
there went for that purpose, but a
good many did.
When l looked about the Taber-
nacle to see who was present, | found a
surprisingly large number of old men
women, and but very few young
folk. l must except the choir, for
there / noticed quite a number of
ladies, fair to gaze upon, and they
appeared to be earnest in the work of
assisting Evangelist King to save
souls. The patience of the choir was
something wonderful.
| unfortunately do not know what
these young women and men use to
tougher the organs of their Threats,
but it must be a potent nostrum. AT ali
events, they have made their devoted
Threats so tough that they sang with
out a breathing spell six hymns in sue
cession, and then Evangelist King gave
them five minutes for-breath, by
offering a prayer in which he asked
that the work he vas engaged on be
blessed.
This was followed by more singing
and Miss Senderling sang a solo.
When her able effort had been duly
appreciated the Western evangelist
walked to the front of the platform
and in a that recalled to my
mind the Scriptural quotation: 1T is
/, be not afraid called the attention
of those present to Psalms Ii, verse iii:
my sin is ever before me-"
WHAT MR.. KING SAID.
Mr.. King had in his hand Bible, in
which he kept a great heap of notes.
1t was from these that he derived what
inspiration he needed in his lecture.
Conscience, y he declared, lis like
Banuuo's ghost, and will never
down. and he likened the life of d
murderer to it, and dwelt on the re-
morse that follows crime and how
some men endeavor to shield them
selves from remorse by the aid of the
whiskey bottle.
He said there were two classes in re-
ligion, and that one was the kid
glove'' class. He did not like to hear
them talk morality, for they dared not
expose their lives.
Mr.. King related an anecdote, and
then said, when the laughing was over;
eff 300, 900 were placed on this plat
form the people in the church would
climb over the benches and pews to
get it, and a man will go twice as far
to get money as he will to get the love

Walk-Out of Workers.

The Strike Leaders Schemng for a General
walk-0ut of Workers.
CoNNELLsvILLE, Pa, Aug. efforts
to make the coke strike general have
thus far met with small success. Lead
ers Of the strike last night were free in
giving out the impression that this
morning would witness a suspension of
work at Trotter, Mayfeld, Connolly
Cora, Bessemer, PennsyIvIlle and South
west No. l for certain, and possibly at
even many more works. The day
here passed and the list of idle
works has been increased by
the addition Of only three works.
As was expected, the meeting at Trotter
last night had the effect of changing the
decision of the men. They joined the
strikers forces this morning. At the
meeting held there last night to take
final action vote was taken and resulted
in 2l3 in favor of coming out against SO
in favor of remaining at work. On the
strength of this the men refused to go to
work this moEnlng. An official of Il. C.
Prick company asked the strikers at
these works to meet him at the store
The men held a meeting themselves at
which they decided not to accept the in
vitation, fearing that they would be
asked to draw ovens, or would be told
that they could consider themselves dis
charged.
Meetings were held in the northern end
of the region tonight, the purpose being
to bring men at work in that section,
particularly employees of the Mcclure
coke company, into line. The leaders
think they Will be successful in this, and
in the morning works which were ex-
pected to come out this morning but did
not, with exception of Prick and South
west No. l will join the strike. The i'm
preston prevails generally that 1t will be
but few days until the men now out
will be willing and anxious to go to work.

Kunz Wants Lawyer.
CHICAGO, ILL. Aug. 2.-Lawyers who
! are defending the Cronln suspects are
making herculean efforts to obtain sep
arate trials for their clients. motion
for a change of venue in behalf of Pat
rick o Sullivan was argued before Judge
Horton to-day by the states attorney
and Attorney David. The states attor-
ney maintained that the petition was not
prepared in statutory form.
Mr.. David said the petition was the
form used in the criminal court records,
and that the court must take judicial
knowledge of the fact that the case ac-
tualiy was pending before him.
Mr.. A. W. Browne, who appeared for
Woodruff, then startled the states attor-
ney and court by cOutending that if a
change of venue be granted to 'Su!li-
van it did not apply to the other defend
ants, but left them for trial
before Judge Horton. He said
his client had either asked for nor con-
scented TO a change of venue. He had
the right under the statutes to ask only
one change Of venue, and if against his
viii the change was forced upon him it
would debar him from exercising that
right before any other Judge. MIR
LongeDecker wanted time to answer these
points and the judge took the case under
adVisement until Monday when the states
attorney may argue some more

ton to the same effect yesterday. The

CAMDEN, TENN, July 30.-A young
white woman near here recently gave
birth to half human and half bear, the
resemblance to the latter predominating.
The eyes are prominent and set far
back in the crown of the head. A
human nose in faint outline is
seen in the center of the head.
A prominent snOut projects where
the face should be, and from this long
tongue prOtrudes. The arms and legs
are those of human, but the feet and
hands are those of an animal, except
that the fingers and toes are perfectly
those of q human. The creature was
stubborn. Some months ago the mother
was greatly frightened by pet bear.

Of party divisiod were frequent. Repub-
lican members made desperate efforts to
have an Adjournment before the vote was
put. Their motion was lost and a recess
was called for. Democrats wanted the
ayes and nays; it was done to feel the
opposing members on the subject. The
intention was to do some lobbying against
