Plunged In an Awful Dilemma by Typo
GRAPHICAL Blunder.


GRAPHICAL Blunder.
sSpeaking of misprints in newspapers"
said Uncle Silas Bowersox to New York
World man, s'reminds me OF curious ex-
perience had in that line when i was run
nlng a country weekly at Parker's Landing,
before quit the business and went to farm
ing. In announcing the death of Mr.. May
apple. one of our citizens, / wrote that he
died at his residence on Wednesday, To
nv awful dismay it appeared in the paper
that Mr.. Mayapple did eat his residence on
Wednesday, AS soon as / discovered the
fearful error / grabbed my nat ana coat
with the intention of leaving town for
few months, but before l could get out
of the Office the widow, fearful and tempest
uous, came in upon me with copy OF lhe
paper in her hand. She sat down ON an up
holstered nail-keg, and, although good
deal out of breath, said, with much asperlty;
"'See here, what in thunder do you mean
byprintin' in your paper that my husband eat
his residence on Wednesday! You knoWed
you was utterin' willful, malicious state
ment when you penned that audaclous lie.
My husband is dead, sir, but don't propose
to let any lop-eared newspaper poke fun at
him or me- Come up and see for yoursell
that his residence is standin' just as good
as it ever was and hasn't been eat any more
than you have, you low-lived leper! For

you and yer whole blamed printin' shop
GAS soon as l could" continued Mr..
Bowersox, 81 explained to the bereaved
widow that it was a grievous misprint.
explained to her at length how editors were
annoyed by Typographical errors, and how
impossible it was to keep them from creep
ing into the paper, even as little boys creep
under the circus tent She was angry and
ugly, and had to write the two sentences
together and show her that the simple
change of place of one letter had made the
whole dreadful error. wrote the sentence

astatr diagnosis pf lie situatiois, and With
Il fotshing faith iii The itifallEbiiity of hts
own precedence. the governor iii iii 0pcn,
generous way, told ail his friends To work
hard for the election of democrats. espe-
cially iii close assembly districts, as he
wanted to get votes sufficient TO bring about
the selection OF his friend Smith III. Weed
for United States senator. Gov. Hill felt
that he could afford to be generous, pos
sessed as he was with an abiding faith iii
the ability Of the republicans to hold their
legislative majority. So the word went ont
through the state to- the democratic county
committeeman that the governor was heart
and soul in the effort To- capture the assem-
bly, so that he might among other things
reward his friend, the Hon. MIR. Weed
Even the democratic state committee
labored under this sort Of d hallucination,
so cleverly had David d. Hill dissembled
his feelings; and Mr.. Weed, being lii the
fight TO win il possible, aided the state
committee with all the resources at lis
command.
When election day had passed and Ii was
seen that the unexpected had happened
then it was that the governor realized the
embarrassing nature OF his position. He
wanted the United States senatorship, now
that there really was one to be had. Mr..
Weed could wait ante-election promises,
and protestations must be considered al
ways as more or less pickwickian. There
fore the governor hastily rearranged his
political program, got one of the New York
city newspapers to boom his senatorial
prospects. and from the executive chambers
set about pulling the wires for his own eIe-
walton to the scnatorship. In the event of
being successful, OF course he need not re-
sign the gubernatorial Office until a year
from next month, and at the same time he
can replenish his exchequer by drawing the
senatorial perquisites from next March.
while he also appropriates the stipend al
lowed the executive OF New York. The
prospect is certainly alluring.

heavy easterly gale and binding snowstorm
the scow r. III. Becker, of Milwaukee, bound
from Newport TO Milwaukee, capsized two
miles north Of here. She sprung a leak
after leaving Newport, but the men kept
her free until o'clock this morning, when
they came to anchor. The sea was very
heavy and washed oyer her, so that she
soon became waterlogged and capsized
She was sighted here at s this morning,
and fishboat went to her assistance just in
time to save the four men aboard, who were
found dashed to the rigging, The steward,
Watchy Bernard, of Milwaukee. had become
exhausted some time before and was dead.
The saved are Cap. Peter J. Bolsted and
Mate Louis P. Rolsted, of Milwaukee, Ole
Christian Vittiesen and II. I. Thompson, of
sheboygan. The Becker will probably be
taken ashore and repaired. The cargo of
wood Is a total loss.

him. He beg IN the study of Latin

the first thing the legislature will do this
winter will be to redistrict the state"
This was the statement to the Ddttg
Northeastern of a democrat who stands high
in the party councils and who is one of the
acknowledged leaders of democracy in this
city. The gentleman also declared that
Geo. w. Pratt would see that this city was
placed In a district which should safely be
democratic by large majority, and further
that the admirers of the mayor OF Oshkosh

not have the state gerrymandered 80 that
he might be elected to congress from this
district.

speaker, chat he will never let such a

Fifth or perhaps the Second district.
Milwaukee county Is almost entitled to
two congressman, and by splitting the
county and adding portion OF Ozankee or
Washington another democrotic district can
be made. The old First district is sure to
be cut up, it is said, and likewise the
Eighth, in order to get rid of Haugen.
This assembly district can be remodeled
with even greater results for the party than
from the changing of the senatorial dis
tricts. Milwaukee county and city, it is
believed, will be changed more than any
other portion OF the state. The Second and
Fourth wards will be made districts by
themselves, it Is thought, to insure two
more democratic assemblymen, the Eff
teenth and Sixteenth wards will be set off
together, and the Seventh and Third wards
will be combined to make one less certain
republican district. The Eleventh district
will donbtle be changed to get the repub-
ican Seventeenth ward separated from the
democratic towns, and several other changes

MINIATURES, Wis, Nov. 12.-In a letter to
the Sentinel Moses. NJ. Strong, the pioneer
lawyer OF Wisconsin and president of the
State Bar association. proposes meeting
of members of the bar in Milwaukee,
Wednesday, Nov. 10, to give formal ex-
preston to the wish that President Harri-
son might appoint Senator spooner to the
vacant seat on the United States supreme
bench. There is no doubt the members OF
the bar would be glad to unite in such ac-
tion and Senator Spooner's conspicuous
ability and close relations to the president
would seem to make the appointment pos
sible. There is no one i'm the city who is
authorized to speak for the senator, but
those nearest him do not think he has any
aspirations to seat ON the bench.
They expect that he will resume his law
practice, which was always lucrative, as
soon as his term Of Office expires in March
next, and IL is said that he will probably
come to Milwaukee to reside, as the me-
tropolis of the state would furnish him
much wider opportunity and much more
point from which to conduct his
business than Hudson, his present home.

WANT A FREE FIELD For MILLS.
Combinations on the Speakership in the
Interest of Opposing Aspirants.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. 1l.--Thc at
tempt is already making to freeze out all
the other speakership candidates and have
a free field for Roger @. Mills. The parti-
sans of the Texan are trying to show the
would be candidates that Mills is bound to
be chosen in the end, that his position in
the party entities him to the caucus nominal
ton without struggle. and that it will be
much the best all around IL time is not
wasted in talking of other democrats,
whose ambition will be raised only to be
disappointed. 1t is claimed that Mills in
his months of campaigning never closed his
weather eye TO the political probabilities
of the Fifty-second congress- and that in
every district where he spoke he secured
pledge OF support from the democratic cam
diGate, tt is also stated with much truth
that the Cleveland following and the tariff
reform element generally will be enlisted
in favor of Mills and will make opposition
useless. There is good deal of practical
sense In this, yet the other leading demo-
Gratis won't look at 1t in that light. They
know that Mills is personally unpopular
with the great majority of those who served
with him and they think this unpopularity
will spread among the new members, SO
they propose to stay in tho fight to the
finish.
One of the current bits of gossip is that
an alliance may be formed between the
east and the west in the speakership con-
test, with a view to an arrangement for the
presidential nomination. Prominent dem-
Gratis now in the city say that the demo-
cratic strength of New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut, Maryland, West Virginia.
part of Pennsylvania. and part OF Virginia,
can be thrown for western candidate for
this speakership in exchange for western
votes for an eastern candidate for the
presidential nomination. Gov. Albeit, of
New Jersey, ex-Goy. Black, OF Penpsylva-
MIA, Senator Barbour, of Virginia, and sen=
ator German, OF Maryland, are counted as
favorable to such an alliance. In this COM
bination the candidates for the presidency
most spoken of are Whitney and Hill, while
it is current gossip that the friends of
Cleveland and Pattison in the east may
form an alliance for the election of south
epn candidate for speaker in exchange for
southern votes In the democratic national
convention.

Natural Gas.

A most remarkable feature connected
with the development of the petroleum
industry is presented by the utilization,
within the last few years, of the vast
supplies of natural infammable gas fur
nished by the oil fields. In America
this remarkable gas supply was for
long time only used locally: but before
the close of 1885 its conveyance to q
distance by pipes, for illuminating and
heating purposes, had assumed large
proportions, one of the companies in
Pittsburg having lain 333 miles Of pipes
of various sizes, through which gas was
supplied equivalent in heating value to
1850, 900 tons of coal per annum. Since
then the consumption in and around
Pittsburg has probably been at least
trippled. The effect of the change
from coal gas to natural gas has been
most marked. Formerly the sky was
constantly obscured by conopy OF
dense smoke; now the atmosphere is
clear, and even white paint may with
impunity be employed for the house
fronts
