MALONE FOR VICE PRESIDENT.
Why Vlrginia's Little Boss Wants to be
Governor Just Now,

WASHINGTON. October 23.-The true inward
ness of the fight which General Malone is
making in Virginia at the present time is not
SO much his election as Governor, as the ulti.
mate object of securing the Vice Presidential
nomination in 1892 Those who make this
statement, and they are in a position to know
whereof theys peak, outline General Mahone's
plans as follows:
His election as Governor would justify his
claim of having broken the solid South"
Every Republican paper in the North it is be-
lieved, would Immediately hail him as the little
Napoleon of Virginia. With the prestige thus
gained and fortified with the State and Fed
eral patronage General Malone would it is
thought, carry a solid Malone delegation to
the next Presidential Convention.
The desire of the Republicans to elect their
candidate without reference to New York State
would aid General Malone in his efforts to
secure the second place on the ticket in return
for his pledge to wheel Virginia in the Re-
publican column This is said TO be the real
stake for which Malone is playing.

Boring Into a Mans Brain With Possibility
of Saving Life.
XENIA, o., October 2s.-Dr. Dawson, Of Gin
cinnati, arrived here yesterday, and, in con-
nection with DR.. Brundage, performed an
unusual operation on Mr.. R. B. Davidson,
who was SO badly injured in runaway acci-

when he was thrown from the vehicle tractur-
ing the inner table of the skull, at the back OF
his head, by reason of which blood clot
formed in the brain, causing total paralysis
of his left side.
The operation performed by the doctors is
that of boring into the brain through the skull
and letting the blood out. Mr.. Davidson has
not been conscious since the accident, and
there is only one chance in million for him to
get we'll.

A Bosu. Detective in Trouble.


NEW YORK. October 24-Francss B. Nc
Mahon, well-dressed young man. introduced
himself last May to the officers Of the Whiting
Manufacturing Company silversmiths. he
said he was an expert private detective. The
company had been losing great deal of their
metal and Mcmahon proposed to ferret out and
identify the thieying employe. He introduced
at the same time two men who claimed TO be
Detectives Carey and Logan, of the city police,
and who recommended him highly. The COM
pany hired him. All summer he pretended to
be close upon the heels Of the thief. He re-
ported progress frequently, and every time he
did so he got SIS or more with which TO prose-
cute his investigation. Day before yesterday
he asked the company for s98 and reported that
he had found the company's most trusted en-
ploye to be the guilty man. McMahon's story
looked fshy and excited the suspicious Of
President Bulkley. who put the whole matter
into the hands Of the city police. Mcmahon
was told TO call on President Bulkley last night
for his s9S When he got there he found two
detectives waiting for him. They were Carey
and Logan, the men whom he had got some Of
his pals to personate when he first sought the
job They hauled him off to police cell. Nc
Mahon was arraigned to-day for swindling aud
remanded.

a New Fafk SugResteds
To the Editor Of The Dispatch.1
AS a citizen who cultivates the virtue of
economy in public outlay, permit me to suggest
that the County Commissioners take steps to
acquire the property lying east of the jail and
bounded by Fifth and Old avenues. This
would make much-needed park, is necessary
to the protection of the Jail, and would add
materially to the appearance of the elegant
public buildings on the humptop.
Probably owners of property abutting on the
lines referred to would not object to giving
substantial assistance to such a scheme, mas
much as if carried out their holdings would be
increased In value very largely.

IT is reported approvingly that the salary
of Mr.. Belmont's jockey is to be $4,000 a
year. OF course in the matter of jockeys
the law of supply and demand governs; but
does it not amount to classification of the

aires that there is such marked demand
among them for high-priced jockeys; and SO
little demand for moderately paid men who
can do some good in the world.

the Ohio politicians and organs on both

Poles That Are nm Eyesore.
% the Editor Of The Dispatch:

To the Editor Of The Dispatcn:
While City Councils are in condition Of mind
suggestive of regard for public interests, in re
the electric wire abuses. permit me to hint that
they should make clean sweep and insist
upon regulation Of telegraph poles. In many
East End sections the beauties of residence
places, secured by large private outlay, are
oyerslaughed by poles standing SO higgledy-
pigeldy as to intimate that no Councilman not
afflicted by locomotor ataxis of the brain would
refuse TO do all that in him lies to, correct the
abuse.
It's shame that there should be occasion
for such complaint and an outrage that the
poles upon which the city wires are stretched
present the very worst appearance Of all the
poles. These do not seem to be in any better
condition as to uprightnsss than the profess

THERE is nothing pleasanter or easier than to
gossip in cheerful way with ones friends
when one has pet tooth playing the scales
upon the high-strung piano of pain. Every
Jump and jab of the nerve is an incentive to
fresh cheeriness and renewed humor. You can
fancy that that almost invisible thread. the
nerve of your pet tooth, is before your eyes.
Now glowing red hot, now quivering like car
bon filament in an incandescent lamp, now
showing forked sting now still for moment
and then of again into wild whirl of excru-
ciating twinges. Teeth, so painful to get and
SO painful to lose. are mans merry testers.
Prince and peasant must know their infinite
humor.
There never was man who did not heartily
love the toothache. 1t is moral bracer. A
cocktail to character. The man who can watch
the jumping nerve of his own tooth and crack
Jest or exchange a courtesy with his best
friend need never worry about the future. He
can command 1t.

ache and the chance to exhibit Spartan indif-
ference to pain.
