The Official information that Repub-
lican magnstes are spending $500, 900 in turning
a Denver, Col, Democratic Newspaper into =
Republican organ, with Clarkson at the key
board, is calculated to create the impression that
the surplus of the Republican campaign fund
will vanish as rapidly as the surplus of the Ma
tional Treasury. But the probability is that a
cipher got added to the statement of the money.
If we allow for an imitation OF that sort we will
get somewhat nearer the value of the invest
ment.

AN INEVITABLE RESULT.

The Philadelphia Press aptly points to the
present blockade OF traffic at the Sault Ste.
Marie Canal, as striking illustration Of the
penny-wise-and-pound-foolish policy long
displayed by Congress in dealing with the
improvement of waterways. The fact that
the movement of freight is suspended there
in way to hamper il not to actually In
lure the grain interests of the Northwest and
the Goa ] and iron interests of Pennsylvania,
to both of which this is the gateway for some
Of their most important shipments. Is

Charles Myers, Traipcr, Secures $4,000
From w. X. Vanderbilt.
NEW YORK, August &-For nearly two years
Charlie Myers was employed by Mr.. Vanderbilt
on his big l,000-acre farm of Idle Hour. at Oak
land. L. L His work consisted In training a
notable collection of bird dog and, incidentally,
he was caretaker of the handsome new coach
house. To one of these bird dogs. the Irish
setter Murtagh, Myers owes his life. One
morning last October he went up to the big
house and gave orders that the big
mastif Wallace, which had been roaming
about the grounds during the night be
tied up. The butler promised to attend
to the animal and Myers went back to the ken
nels and took two of the bird dogs out for exer-
else. As he skirted the lawn be saw Wallace
standing near his kennel. He was loose, and
before the other dogs approached. He leaned
over, and, grasping the brute by his collar,
tried to thrust him in the kennel. Wallace
threw him aside as if he had been feather
and caught his arm in his huge maw. Myers
fought desperately. The mastiff released the
mans arm only to catch new hold upon his
lett leg. Men came running up at this moment.
The setter Murtagh was ahead of them, how
ever. When he saw his trainer attacked he
spraug forward and seized Wallace by the
throat The mastlff at once dropped Myers
difficulty the big fellow was finally tied. The
setter was well nigh killed, but after weeks of
careful attention he came around all right.
Myers was faint and sick with pain and loss
of blood. DR.. Corwicke was sent for and eau
terized the trainers wounds and gave orders to
have Wallace shot. For weeks the patient
lay Ill, and when he finally recovered he
was only the shadow of his old self. His case
had attracted the personal interest of Mr..
Vanderbilt. who cabled from Paris that
he should be given every care until his COM
plete recovery. Myers first walk out OF doors
took him down to the coach-house, where his
chum, Jimmy johnson, the English coachman,
pointed out to him an object hanging over the
door. 1t was the stuffed head of Mr.. Wander
bilts redoubtaHe 500 dog Wallace.
Myers left idle Hour" May 13. He ex-
pected damages for the fearful injuries he had
received, but he didn't hire lawyer. Armed
with his physicians certificate he went to
counsel. and pleaded his own case. BY order of
w, K. Vanderbilt he received his big check
yesterday. 1t was the exact amount he had
asked for.

A Commendabis Movement.

From the Chicago Journal Of Commerce.
That very observant newspaper, The PITTS.
BURG DISPATCH, is stirring up the subject of
fitting up ''roilet rooms" (alias lavatories with
all the word implies in plenty of clean water.
soap. towels, combs and brushes) in all the
foundries, workshops, factories and mills OF
the entire Union. The movement is good
one and should meet with hearty assent and
adoption everywhere. The expense would be
light in any concern. and the results would do
much toward making the operatives cleaner
and more contented. We vote for the toilet

The Brazilian Constitution contains a
clause prohibiting that government from en-.
gaging in any war Of conquest; and the es-
teemed New York Tribune thinks this "a level
of national morality which no other power in
Christendom has reached" The necessity for
Brazil becomes very obvious, when it engaged
in war to call it something besides war Of con.
quest. Perhaps the Tribune can designate a
war of modern times. which was admitted by
the power waging it to have had the purpose of
conquest By any other name it conquers Just
as effectively.

CONTINUED GOOD ATTENDANCE
At the Pleasant Lawn Fete of ST. james
Church, Wilkinsburz.

There was another tremendous attendance at
the lrwn fete of st. James R. Z. Church, at
Williamsburg, yesterday. The various amuse-
ments provided by the management, and the
good humor that pervaded everything made
the occasion delightful one. In response to a
unanimous request it has been decided TO con-
tInue the fete another day, So this afternoon
and evening there will be not only repetition
of the fun, but more of it. for Prof. Tony
White and his punch and Judy" will be there.
Everything seems to favor the fete so far, for
although 1t rained on Thursday night it was not
until the last few groups on the grounds were
reluctantly dispensing. while last night the
weather was all that could be desired.

preparing for winter, but still those who have
In mind any extensive alterations or refurnish-
ing OF their homes are beginning to look about.
In this city the fall seems to be the time when
such changes are made. as the spring so soon
merges INTO the summer that the attention Of
householders Is engrossed with preparations
Tor the warm weather. At this period of the
year, however, there is another social season to
look forward to, and people make plans to re-
PAIR the rayages made by the last seasons wear
and tear. 1t may be necessary to get a new
rug or to replace a WORKOUT carpet, and per-
haps the upholstered furniture needs attention.
But great deal of thought is being given
nowadays to the decorations Of the walls. The
color OF the walls. rs a rule. govern not only
the style but the tones of the furniture and the
rugs. There are professional decorators who
have large establishments where everything
can be purchased from a kitchen table to a
white and gold chair. These gentlemen will
relieve the puzzled householder from all the
trouble and vexation of soul in attempting to
buy. so that the variety of articles that fill
modern room will present q harmony of color
that will satisfy the critical eve. Or else the
householder can follow his own Judgment 1t
used TO be that the question Of decorating
the walls was settled In the first instance by
directing. as a matter of course. that paper of
some kind would be used. But now walls are
painted either plain or in stipple or in some
other elaborate style As a rule painted walls
cost more than papered walls. Some of the
higher grades Of paper are. however more ex-
penslve than paint. especially when the latter
Is done in solid colors, or, rs it is called by the
trade, plain painting. Compared with the
cheaper grades of paper. as STAR man was in
formed by well known decorator. plain paint
ing costs more-in fact the cost is about double.
But then. as the decorator remarked, the paint
ing is stylish and lasts longer than paper and
on this account may be regarded as cheaper
than paper He said that the use of paint i'll
interior decoration was becoming very general.
although 1t was by no means taking the place
of paper. Both means of decoration were
used and elaborate effects were produced
