CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY.
Two Missouri Men Arrested for Annoying
"A Postmaster.

KANSAS CRY, Mo, June l6.-John Love
and Thomas Duckwsrth, of Peculiar, Mo,
have been arrested, charged with conspir-
acy to deprive the postmaster at that place
of the receipts and emoluments of his office,
interfering with the discharge of his du-
ties and setting up unauthorizedreceptaclcs
for United States mail.
The trouble grew out of the unpopular
itv Of \. :. ellison, recently appointed
postmaster. Love and Duckworth pur-
chased stamps at other towns, and gave
them away or sold them TO people in Pecu-
liar, so as to prevent ellison from getting
his commission on such stamps, and also
arranged to collect mail matter from people
of the town. and took it directly to railroad
trains. thus depriying the postmaster of his
legitimate cancellation fees.

HURTS THEIR FEELINGS.
Some OF the Upper Gentry Protest Against
John l.. at Washington.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June l3, lS9O.-The
critic says: "The announcement that John
L. Sullivan would spar at the Columbia
Athletic Club next week has created con
siderable objection on the part OF some OF
the members. A protest has been made by
about fifty members of the club, including
Vice-President Morton and other promi-
nent men. who have united in a request for
a call for a special meeting to
CONSIDER THE NATTER,
but this will not avail anything, as, under
the rules, a special meeting cannot be held
unless the members are given notice week
in advance. BY that time the exhibition
will have been given. But those who OPP
pose the exhibition propose to prevent 1t by
other means, aud a prominent member
of the club outlined the programme
today as follows: 'If we can
not stop it any other way,
we will make the Board of Governors ap-
ply for a license TO give the exhibition.
They propose TO charge an admission lee,
and they must take out a license just as n
theater has To. don't believe it is right.
We are asked 10 indOrse Sullivan, and
through our inti uence help him 10 escape
the punishment he deserves from the Mis-
sissippi courts. Sullivan will dispose Of
the complimentary tickets to be given him
as he sees fit. He is not coming here for
nothing, and
THE GREATER MAJORITY
of the members are opposed to making the
club party to his disreputable scheme.
Sullivan is. of course, expected TO invite
the Mississippi delegation by way of con-
cOuciliating Mississippi influence"
On the part of the managers, 1t is said by
one them: There are a lot of dudes in the
club who Joined it simply for its social fea-
lures. They don't care about the athletic
part of il, while we, who started the club,
want to make that feature We are try
ing TO get the men into the gymnasium, and
believe that this exhibition will tend to in
crease the interest of the members and
bring them there The exhibition will
surely take place, for the obiectors only
represent about one-fifteenth OF the total
membership. No matter what Sulliyan's S
reputation may be, we can neither add to
il nor take anything away from it. He is
the champion pugilist Of the world, and
AN EXHIBITION by HIM
is purely in the line of sport. If he is try
ing to get the sympathy of the Southern
Congressman 10 help him out of the Missls-
sippi trouble, it is none of our business.
The exhibition is purely in the interest Of
sport. and it will be given. OF that you
can rest assured
The other members of the club who were
present endorsed this view of the case, but
several objected to the proposed exhibition,
solely because an admission price was to be
charged. They thought it savored too
much Of the methods of variety theatre
Otherwise they wanted to see the event

SAVED BY A DREAM.
The Life of a Young Man Preserved
Through the Agency of Vision.

Through the Agency of "a Vision.
In an old number of Blackwoods Mag
azine is dream story which is vouched
for as true. 1t was told by Lady Clerk,
long wellknown in Edinburg. 1t rep
resented her father as attending classes
in that city about 1874, and living under
the care of an uncle, Major Griffiths.
The young man, who was accustomed to
take rambles with companions, told his
uncle and aunt one night that he was
going fishing from Leith early the next
morning. No objection being made they
separated for the night During her
sleep Mrs. Gritiiths screamed: The boat
is sinking; save, oh save Them" The
Major awakened her and asked: "Were
you uneasy about the fishing party?"
20, no., she said, Il mad not once
thought about them" She soon fell
asleep again, but III about an hour she
cried out in great fright: II see the
boat is going down." Her husband again
awoke her, and she said: SIS has been
owing to the other dream | had, for I
feel no uneasiness about it." .Nfter some
conversation they both fell asleep, but
no rest could be obtained for her. In
the greatest apparent agony she again
exclaimed: They are gone--the boat is
gone" When the Major awakened her
she declared that Mr.. Dacre father of
of Lady Clerk) must not go on the fish
ing trip or he would surely be lost. lie
was accordingly induced tostay at home,
but his companions who went out en-
countered a squall and were drowned.
Whether or not the dream was true, it
is certain that OH August :, 1884; four
men of a. station in life corresponding
to that of Dacre were drowned i'm she

the poor dears are positively shabby half

Shabby! With all the bills that are
sent to me for their gowns and their
gew-gaws, and fol-de-rols!'

some daughters, and some bills to pay,
you'd have something to make a fuss
about; that's what / guess. But that's
