ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPATcH.i

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, September g.
For the first time since the grand circuit
began. six weeks ago, the harness races
have been so delayed by adverse weather
that meeting has had to be extended over
the usual four days. This forenoon smart
shower fell and second about o'clock,
which left pools of water in several places
on the track and made the footing so bad
that most of the drivers objected to starting.
The sun came out about 2 o'clock and the
rain kept away, but the wet track dried
very slowly, so that more than two hours
were spent in waiting till start could be
effected. The management were lenient
about hurrying matters. for they kept the
impatient in suspense longer than was
really necessary, and when they at last sum-
moned the horses lot of time was wasted
owing to the unwillingness of one or two
drivers to enter into the contest on a slippery
course,

An old maid living in Maine has written
letter to Mr.. G. c. Baldwin, of New York,
saying that her invalid sister had a vision
just previous to the last presidential eiec-
ton, in which she saw two mon in an office
in Brooklyn concluding a political agree
ment by which Mr.. Cleveland was to be
kept from getting votes in Brooklyn which
he would otherwise get. The invalid is not
spiritualist, but she sometimes "sees
things and she is confident that if she
should be brought face to face with the two
men, she would recognize them. Taken in
connection with the fact that Mr.. Cleve-
land ran thousands of votes behind Gov.
Hill in Brooklyn, thereby losing the presi-
dency, this vision would seem to be rather
remarkable. 1t is to be hoped that the
woman will see another in 1S92-that of
MIR. Cleveland again at work in the white

An association of civil engine ers and sur
veyors in Connecticut has appointed COM
mittee to advocate more effectual legisla-
ton for the inspection and supervision of
dams in that state. Probably Connecticut
has more dams and reservoirs than any
other state with corresponding area. The
scores of streams that traverse her territory
are dotted with dams to furnish motive
power for her factories. There is COM
mission to see that the dams and reservoirs
are properly constructed, but it has no
power to officially inspect them after they
have beeh passed upon, and, therefore,
when one bee omss dangerous, there is no
way to force the owner to repair it. This
is a very Important matter. and no doubt
the needed laws will be enacted.

The training school for nurses which Mrs.
Robert W. Chapiu, of New York, is going
to establish in connection with the babies
hospital in that city, will, it may be said,
fill a long felt want, and it is a pity that
other cities can't have similar institutions.
Young women between the ages of II and
25 will be instructed how to act as nurses for
children, and not only will they not be
charged anything, but they will be paid IS
or $40 month while receiving instruction.
The Washington Post approves very highly
of the institution, and says: Heretofore
the New York mother, while Juggling her
wizen-faced terrier or driving with her
watery-eyed poodle, could never feel quite

The Washington correspondent of the
Pittsburg Dispatch, a republican news
paper, says: THE antipathy to Mr.. Harri-
son is far more extended than merely to the
boundaries of the United States Senate.
Let me state as simple fact without preju-
dice, and with much sympathy for the
President on account of the position in
which he is placed, that l have not heard a
single republican speak really sincere
kindly word for the chief executive since
his return from his summer vacation. Up
to that time judgment of his administra-
ton was in a manner suspended" Well,

run things to suit himself, didn't he? He
certainly doesn't seem to have run them to

A good many of the newspapers are after
Mr.. Wanamaker with a sharp stick for
allowing the manager of his Philadelphia
dry goods house to advertise that house by
referring to it in connection with the Office of
Postmaster General while the pau-Ameri-
can delegates were in Philadelphia. One
Philadelphia republican newspaper says
that Mr.. Wanamaker acted abominably.
1t will be urged in Mr.. Wanamaker's de-
fense probably, that he did not know what
his manager was going to say, but that
would be a lame defense. Mr.. Wanamaker
hasn't instructed his manager not to resort
to such business methods" and he hasn't
reproved him for resorting to them. The
manager, therefore, is justified in believing
that he has Mr.. Wanamaker's approval.

Attorney General Miller announces that
the administration will not take any action
whatever with regard to the Montana COM
plications. Montana is a state, you know
he says. Two things may be said in this
connection. The first is that the admins
tration was not so cautious to keep its
hands off in state affairs in Virginia, and
the second is that the Montana complica-
tions were caused by the administration
partisan course. Having brought about
these complications. in order to give tbs
republicans a chance to elect two United
States senators to whom the democrats are
entitled, the administration will stake no
action whatever in the matter"
