An Eccentric society Woman.

Philadelphia Inquirer.
Dispatches were received in this city
yesterday announcing the death in Gal
weston, Tex, of Miss Mary S. Gilpin,
closely related to the late eX-mayor Of
this city and member of well-knOwn
and highly connected Philadelphia fam
lily. Miss Gilpin, who was over eighty
years of age, was noted for her eccen-
tricity and great learning. She pos
sessed a snug fortune, but was inclined
to be economical in her habits. She was
highly intelligent and well educated, and
was thoroughly familiar with Latin and
Greek and most of the current lam
guages and literature. She made no
friends, however, and lived the life of a
recluSe. 1t was in the centennial year
that she SUDDENLY acquired mania for
travelling, and she gave up her resi-
dence i'll this city and started out. She
visited Europe and went all around the
world, with the exception of China.
Then she returned to this country.
She lived for short periods in California
and other Western states, and finally
settled IN Sitka, Alaska. Her
home in that barren section was
very humble, and she exercised the
most rigid economy in her actual
living expenses. She spent most of her
time in reading books of the most alb
struse type. Once in her travels she
took quite fancy to young woman
who lived in Wilmington, but they soon
separated. After she abandoned her
cherries Alaska home she settled in
Seattle, W. T., for several years. Her
relatives in this city tried more than
once to induce her to come back here,
where she could be cared for by them,
but she was very independent, and told
them that the climate agreed with her.
A short time ago she went to Galveston,
after an extensive Western tour.

PLATTsS AMBITION.

1t is accepted es fact in New York
that Tom PLATT has decided to go to
the senate from that state. The only
other element of doubt is that the DEM
ocrats may control the legislature,
which is very improbable. PLATT re-
turning to the senate will be a very diff
ferent figure from the one that was led
out under the cloak of the picturesque
and imperious CoNKLING eight years
ago. He looked like very ordinary
sort of an attachment to an exhibition
of greatness in red-faced and pettish
role. 1t is believed that the Repub-
lican party in that state has never had
boss, not even SEWARD, that had the
grip PLATT has. He is not charged
with being statesman, only the engi-
neer Of the party machine.

The Situation at Johnstown Worse
Than During the Flood.


YOUNGSTOWN, Pa, July 4.-The Chi
cago papers have become indig-
nant about the delay in the
sending of their relief money to Johns
town. and through Mrs. DR.. Dickinson
have asked Mrs. DR.. Francis S. jerome
to tell the needs of Johnstown. In
letter to-day Mrs. Jerome says that un-
less the people are given outfits of
their own they will be ruined and
wrecked forever. Their moral characters
are fast being lost from their manner of
living, and the state relief commission
are too dilatory in theirrelief. She says
the people are in worse condition
than week after the flood as
they could not then realize
their situation. Young girls are being
ruined, and children are running wild.
schools. She asks that the Chicago
committee entrust to her the S15O, 900
now in Chicago, and she will be per-
sonally responsible for its distribution,
and will give a New York millionaire
as her bond. She says that, if the state
does not interfere with red tape, she can
house and home every family in the val
ley inside of ten days. Col. Douglass, chief
engineer, in clearing the debris of the
Conemaugh valley has resigned, his
work being almost completed and he is

return occasionally to look after the

THE BOSS TRIuMYIRATE.

The dispatches from Bismarck repre-
sent the patriotic trio, ALLEN, PIERCE
and ORDwAY. always lowering about,
pouring oil upon all troubled waters,
binding up bruises and plaeating the
disaffected, for the unity and glory of
the party. They are gentlemen not in
Dakota for their health, or to absorb the
invigOrating atmosphere. They may
have interests in wheat fields, mines,
herds and cold storage houses, but these
are but dross to them in comparison
with their soIicitude for the harmony
and right direction of the Republican
party. No DRAFTS needed to bring them
to its high service as senators and gov
ernor. There need be no controversy
or trouble over the matter. There are
three places, and three statesmen who
have taken the measure and find nice
fit. If the people would avert mysteri-
Gus disappearance, they must take the
slate as made ND for them.

MIR, COX'S SPEECH.

Of all the fine orationS delivered yes
terday, bubbling with the eloqueDce of
patriotism, there was none more ornate.
and surely none possessing more per-
manent value, than the address deliv
cred by Hon. S. S. Cox at Huron, S. d.
Fresh from the halls of congress,
where the statehood of the Da-
kOtas had lately played so important
a part, and he himself being the most
active champion of their cause, it was
but natural that his eloquent tongue
should be inspired by the time, the
place and the surroundings, and that he
should deliver speech which deserves
to be perpetuated in the annals of our
Northwestern history, The address
is replete with historical matter of great
value, which can only be obtained by
those who have access to the congress
sional library and the public depart
ments; and Mr.. CoX's patient and ex-
hauStive research in tracing out and
compiling the facts relating to our
Northwestern history and development
most certainly merits the appreciation
that it is sure to receive from our peO-
pie.
A striking feature of Mr.. CoX's adj
dress is the very just comparison he
makes between the craftsmanship of
WASHINGTON and that of JEFFERSON.
The former seems never to have con-
templated republic reaching west of
the Ohio river. On the other hand,
JEFFERSON, who occupied a higher
plane of craftsmanship, and possessed a
more accurate comprehension of the
possibilities of American development,
extended the range of vision until he
saw our Western boundaries only linn
tied by the waves of the Pacific. The
Jeffersonian theory was that the eX-
pansion of the republic was natural
Jaw of its healthy existence, and that
that principle was paramount to all
other questions of national policy, eX-
cept the question of the preservation of
the Union itself. To this Jeffersonan
idea the people of this nation are in
debted for that magnificent do
main extending from the Missis-
sippi to the Golden Gate. And who
would now tear out the chapters of our
history which record these territorial
acquisitions. or who can paint the re-
public of the future, when it has
achieved that destiny which lies in it's
pathway? The whole patriotism of the
country responds to the line of policy
marked out by JEFFERSON, for the ben
efits that have accrued from his appli-
cation of the expansive principles of
this government are visible to the eyes
of the present generation in beholding
the four new stars that the first time
decorated Onr banner Yesterday.

OKLAHOMA, Ind. Ter, July 4.-The
4tl OF July festivities were brought to
sad ending at 8 p. m. by the falling of
the grand stand with its living load of
human beings. Nearly 1000 people
had secured seats to witness the races,
when, without warning, the structure
fell, burrying the mass of people be-
meath it. The cries and groans of the
injured soon filled the air, and it was
feared that scores of lives had been
lost. Almost as soon as the &C
cident occurred, the militia, under
command of Captain Stiles, were Or
dered to the scene, and rendered val
liable service. Incredible as it may
seem, it was found, when the victims
had been taken out, that none were dead,
though several were perhaps fatally,
and many badly injured. The only
death thus far is that of the eighteen

BEER ADULTERATION.

As those who want to exterminate all
kinds of intoxicants by law will see that
the perverse populace is inclined to give
them protracted employment, perhaps
they will not look so indifferently upon
the quality of the beverages used.
but insist that they shall be made as lit
tie baneful as possible, in the general
line of the modern idea to prevent
cruelty to all animals. 1t is presumed
that beers are less doctored and adulter-
ated than other drinks. A chemist in
this city, who is very fond of his beer,
remarked the other day that he had
tested samples of nearly all the varie-
ties of beer sold here to determine his
own consumption, and found but one
that was entirely free from obnoxious
infusions. He said some of them were
not specially harmful, and the objec-
tionaDle elements we're generally to
make it keep, or to improve the flavor.
He specified some ingredients as very
deleterious to the liver. They would
not be used if there were rigid iEspec-
ton. 1t will be some time, apparently,
before people will quit using beer, and
the prohibitionists will see here
chance to exhibit humane purposes.

THE FOUR CONVENTIONS.

The constitution makers for the new
states were busy yesterday organizing
their conventions. preparatory to the
great Work they have in hand. The
conditions under which these eonstitu-
ton makers assemble are exceptional,
and these exceptional conditions ought
to furnish them the inspiration for
doing exceptionally good work. 1t is
fortunate that each of the new states
has elected brainy, progressive men to
these constitutional conventions, and
there will be great disappointment
throughout the country if each state
constitution is not model in its way.
The members of these conventions
should remember that they are laying
the foundations of empire, and in this
thought they should find Indictment to
build well and wisely.

MULLED BEER.
The Falk, Jung & Borchert Plant
Reduced to Ruins.

MILWAUKEE, Wis.,, July 4.-The
Falk. Jung & Borchert Brewing COM
pany's plant, located On South Pierce
street between Twenty-fourth and
Twenty-ffth avenues, was totally de-
stroyed by fire this afternoon. Not a
building of the great plant was spared.
The fire originated in the malt house
and spread with great rapidity destroy
ing the malt house, the brew house, the
offices, the bOttling department, and
finally spreading to the beer cellars,
which are at this hour, 9 p. H., still
burning. The total loss is estimated at
from S700.00 to $500, 700, and the insur-
ance reaches only half of this sum. The
beer cellars contained $4,000 barrels of
the amber fluid, and the bottling depart
ment was stocked with 5000 more
barrels ready for shipment to the
South. AS the brewery is located at the
city limits, it was very difficult for the
fire department to do effective work.
and two hours after the fire had started
the great plant was mass of ruins.
The cause OF the fire is unknown but is
supposed to have been overheating of
the malt house. The capacity of the
brewery was 100000 barrels of beer per
year. and 800 men were employed in the
establishment. The company was
consolidation of the Falk Brewing COM
pany and the Jung and BOrchert Brew
ing company, which were merged into
one on Oct. 16, with capital of S1,OO0,-
600. Very expensive improvements in
the shape of additional machinery and
such to the old FaIk Brewing company
had just been completed, amounting to
100000, and new refrigerator, which
alone cost $4,000, had just been put
ammonia used in connection with the
refrigerator, exploded and helped to
spread the fire to the adjoining build
iEgs. No one was seriously injured by
the fire. The brewery will be rebuilt

The Captious Public.

Detroit Free Press.
A shoemaker on Grand River avenue,
painted his door the other day and hung
out sign of paint Pretty soon
man came along and opened the door
and asked:
what sort of paint, and how do you
sell it?"
Its paint on the door," was the re-
ply.
''Oh, that's it. Better change your
sign. then"
The shoemaker took in the sign and
hung up one reading: 'Paint on the
door" He had scarcely done so when
a second man accosted him with:
SIS that all? Why didn't you paint
the castings, too? Looks mighty stingy,
and I'd change that sign"
The shoemaker reflected for awhile
and then made new sign reading:
Look out for paint" 1t wasn't a
quarter of an hour before farmer came
in with an old boot to mend, and as he
rubbed his shoulder against the door he
Indignantly exclaimed:
''How did | know where to look out
for this Internal nuiSance%
The man went out and removed the
sign ard tore it up, and, as ne returned
to the bench, he said:
That's what a fellow gets for trying
to satisfy the public. Now let the door
take care of itself"
