Madame Dagnerre suspicious.

Madame Daguerre, the wife OF the
inventor of the process, had an earnest
consultation with one of the medical
celebrities Of the day concerning her

that the concluding proof lof his insanity
was his absolute conviction that he
would succeed in mailing his own shadow

metallic plates. The physician listened
with profound attention to this culminat-
ing evidence of mental arrangement,
answering that he himself had observed

advising that her husband should be
sent quietly, and without delay, to the

Abolish the Electoral College.

The remedy for this tendency to revo-
tionsry methods to gain temporary parti-
san ends is is the entire abolition of the
Electoral College. The patriotic purposes
that dictated the creation OF the College
perished before decade had passed, and
there is now nothing to recommend the
college but the possibility of using or
abusing it to defeat the popular will.
The President OF the United States is the
Chief Magistrate of the Republic, and he
should be chosen by the direct vote of
the people. With a direct vote for Pres
ident and Vice President all temptation
to floodtide of debauchery such as over
whelmed New York and Indiana in 1888
would cease, and the costly battles for
debatable States would be eliminated

STOPPED A GAME.
A Justice and Constables Inter-
rupt q New York Contest.

ROCHESTER,. N. Y, July 20.-There
was a scene of great excitement at the
ball grounds this afternoon. At
the close of the third inn
ing of the Rochester Columbus
game Justice Coy, of Irondequoit. with
several constables and members of the
law and order league, marched on the
diamond, and ordered that the game be
stopped. AS the players came in the
spectators rushed into the diamond, and
surrounded the Irondequoit people,
shouting at them, and calling
on the players to continue.
The club officials tried in vain to restore
order, but were unable to do so until
they had persuaded the Irondequoit
people to leave the diamond. AS the
latter had no warrants, the players re-
sumed the game, after the managers
had promised Justice Coy to have the
men before him tomorrow morning.
At the close Of the game
the club officials induced the
Irondequoit men to secure the
players arrest Immediately, This was
done and they were taken before JUS
tice Baird, who was on hand for just
such an emergency. Gen. Brinker
vouched for the appearance of the
PLAYERS when wanted, and they were re-
leased. This action was taken to fore
stall the law and order league. The
Columbus players will be examined to-
morrow and the Rochester players

THE HAMMOCK.

Potent Factor in Midsummer
Joys, 1t Has Much to Answer for
to LOng-Suffering Lovers.
Pittsburg Bulletin
The hammock has much to answer
for.
1t has developed from nothing into
potent factor in midsummer social joys
and sorrows.
A decade ago the hammock was spor-
adic. 1t is now universal Certain tour
lists from this heretofore unhammocked
land of the free jOurneying in Mexico
and in Cuba noted the meshed crescent
with interest first and with admiration
afterwards, insomuch that they brought
one of the Swaying touches with them.
The result has been remarkable.
Americans have taken the hammock to
their very hearts. and American in
genuity has devised machinery capable
of turning out hammocks almost as fast
as the finished article will turn out its
occupant.
A summer bereft of hammock would
be to the American lad and lass adreary
and unromantic period.
81. Given a good article of moonlight and
: hammock big enough for two, and
rapidly ana thoroughly advance the
cause of Cupid and bring about the
lighting of Hymen's torch.
Between the moon and the hammock
there is certain analogy. A young
moon is very like hammock, and
when Luna appears in the West, her
crescent apparently swung between
two invisible trees and fastened with a
pair of bright stars, the analogy is COM
plete. One can readily fancy an angel
swaying in the celestial hammock,
which is said also to contain man.
And the idea is so apt to fix itself in the
mind of the ardent mortal who gazes
westwar d that his firstimpulse is to get
a hammock and an earthly angel of his
own. and then to sway jOyously to the
rhythm oftwo hearts that beat as one.
The hammock is an institution which
could not have had its origin in so busy
and practical a land as America. 1t is
a daughter of the South, of lands where
languor and idleness reign beneath an
almost vertical son. Its motion sayors
of leisure and its mission is one of rO-
nance.
AS an aid to Irritation it is twin sis
ter to fan.
If a young couple ever trust them
selves to the support Of the same ham,
mock at the same time, Cupid has his
own way thereafter. The pair must of
necessity be brought into such sweet
proximity that every particle of formal
ity and reserve is melted away.
One may withdraw from his fair one
Oh bench, may hold aloof while seated
on the same grassy bank, and may hitch
mis- chair away. or closer, as his feelings
may dictate. But in the same hammock
one can do none of these things. He can
only submit to fate and propinquity and
be led delightfully."- to the momentous
question.
The hammock has come to take the
place once held by the narrow sleigh.
Fate and the weather have ordained
that the days of the cutters existence
are ended. but kinder fate has sup
piled the hammock. 1t is fashioned
much like spiders web. But who
would not willingly be fly when the
web holds a charming maiden? And
what man is there with soul SO dead
who is not glad that the hammock has
come to stay?

A CHINESE THEATER.
The Residents of Mott Street, New
York, Are Much Excited.

The Residents of Mott Street, New
York, Are Much Excited.
New York Sun.
Great preparations are being made in
Mott street. and much money is being
put up by all kinds of Cinnamon for the
purpose Of building real Chinese thea
ter. The large brick tenement house,
five stories high, at IL Pell street, has
been leased for ten years by stock
company of weli-to-do Cinnamon at
$500 year. The company is having
the building tom down, and in its place
will build new and attractive Chinese
music hall or theater.
ING Swny.' fine-looking young Chi
amman of IS Pell steet, seems to be at
the head of this new enterprise. The
work of tearing down the buildi ng be-
gan yesterday morning.. When it is
completed Chinese masons and carpen-
teIs will begin erecting the new build
ing. The company hopes to be able TO
open the new theater about the begin
ming or middle of August. The straad-
ed Chinese actors are once more hope
ing apparatus with bland smiles upon
their yellow faces when the reporters
called. They told him tn at they were
already booked for the season, begin
ming August next and ending August
1, 1891.
There will be little Chinese house
on top of the new theater for the actors
to live in. and 1T is also understood that
a regular Chinese lunch counter, with
bird s-nest soup at all hours of the
night, will be built in the audience
roOm of the theater to keep the audience
supplied with their regular meals with
out losing any part of the play, as they
would otherwise be obliged to do on ac
count of the length of the plays.
The principal objection to the Ameri-
can playhouses. the Chinese actors say,
was the extraordinary short time
