Politeness il often wasted, but it IL

Our very best thoughts often come tew

~CLAKkSON'S EXIT.

The First Assistant Postmastcr-C cnerai's
Reasons For Leaving Office Purely Busi-
meas.
WASHINGTON, Sept 2.-Mr. Carlson,
First Assistant Postmaster-5eneral,
practically concluded his service in the
Post-oflce Department Saturday. The
President much desired his further con
t!nuance in tho place, but Mr.. GARRISON
was unable to remain longer. 1t Is
stated that Mr.. GARRISON assumed the
Office in March, 1889, only at the strong
persuasion of the President, the Repub-
Lean National Committee and the lead
ing men of the party, and that he has
remained in 1t since against his own
wishes. He said to u reporter of the
Associated Press:
II accepted this office un%willingly,
and for a term OF months, not years;
and I lay 1t down gladly. My relations
with the President and Postmaster
General have never been any thing else
but pleasant But I have no liking for
ofice-holding, and while the postal SER
vice is one that will absorb the interest
and command the pride OF any one con-
nected with II, / very much prefer pri.
vate life and its Independence. The
reports that / have given up Iowa and
my home are incorrect 1t is the best
State in the Union, and my lot is cant
with it."
Mr.. GARRISON will very soon assume
the presidency of the Judson Pneumatic
Railway Company, which applies new
principles to locomotion and to motive
power in cities. and which is now build.
ing u railway in Washington City,

Wholesale Dcsertiun of Seamen and Ma
rines-Tyrnnny of the SHIPS Officers.
NEW YoRK, Sept L-Since the United
States man-of-war Chicago came into
this port, in the latter part of June,
there have been almost 100 assertions
from her. Marines and seamen have
deserted in patches of five and six.
More are expected to follow.
Tho runaways, so the former compan-
ions Of the deserters say, have left tho
navy in this manner simply because the
officers in general, and Captain Robe
son in particular, have treated them
like so many cattle. During the entire
cruise of the White Squadron the
men say they were not treat
ed like human beings. They furnish
many incidents to illustrate these state
ments. One was found In the case OF
the firemen aboard the Chicago. During
the torrid weather the temperature In
the fire room varied from 1870 degrees to
40 degrees Fahrenheit The fremen
pleaded for cool water to drink and were
unable to obtain 1t, for the reason that the
officers of the ship captured all the leo to
keep their wine and beer cool. They
have a machine aboard the Chicago
which converts salt water into fresh.
As the water comes from this condenser
1t is very warm. They also have a ma
chine for making ice. On days when
some of the iremen were sinking I'M
conscious beside their furnace doors,
those who were able to boar up amid
the awful heat begged for some
with which to cool their drinking water.
but the officers refused to let them have
IT. They could drink the warm water
or go without Tho worst of 1t all was
they did not dare to make a complaint
TO Commander Robson. They were
afraid he would order them below to be
bound hand and foot in irons and to be
fed on bread and water.

A Young Mans Terrible Fate at "A County
Fair.
WoopFIELp, O., Aug. 3L.-Yesterday
was the last day OF the fair here and
more than 10, 900 people assembled TO
see the final races and a balloon ascen-
sion by Carter, the %aeronaut. The bal
loon was a small hot air affair and was
kept in its position over the fur
ACE by ropes held by the by
ISLANDERS. When 1t had been in
fated and all was ready Carter gave
the word to let 60. The balloon shot
upward and the thousands of spectators
were Mortified to see, dangling at tho
end Of n small line, a young man named
Milton Redin, an officer of the fair assoc
citation. Hundreds Of persons shouted
for him TO drop, but Redin was either
%entangled or had lost his head and he
clutched frantically at the rope, at
tempting to climb up the slender line
into the basket. A number of women
in the dense crowd tainted and
all the spectators grew sick with
horror as the balloon sailed upward
and began moving southwark. Carter
could be seen making desperate efforts
to draw Redin up the rope on which he
swung to and fro. For fully ten min
utes their efforts continued and then, at
n height of over one thousand feet the
balloon took a sudden lurch, Redin's
hold was loosened and his body shot
downward. 1t was found half a mile
away. Tho clothing was torn of, all
his bones broken and the body crushed
out of all human semblance. Redin's
brothers and sisters were in the throng
and saw his terrible fall.
