A POLITICAL FOOT BALL.
The Present Condition Of the District Appro-
priation Bill.


priation Bill.
The District appropriation bill has become q
political foot ball, and like all foot balls is get
ting the worst of the scrimmage. 1t must
not be considered that the democrats are de-
laying action on the bill because of any
serious opposition to the measure itself, the
opposition from the democratic side and the
dilatory tactics which have been adopted SIM
ply result from determination on the part of
the democrats to delay action on every measure
and waste as much time as possible until
the Senate decides what action is to be taken on
the election bill. The desire is to waste no
much time that if the election bill should come
back to the House with amendments there will
not be left enough time to consider it.
Yesterday dilatory tactics prevented consider
alton OF the appropriation bill until after the
STAR went to press. 1t is probable that rule
will be brought in today from the committee
on rules closing debate on the District bill.

Dangers Of the Lymph.

Further details have been learned of Prof
kochs experiments with his lmyph. They
show that many thousands Of guinea pigs
which had been inoculated have been cremated
after the work Of vivisection had been COM
pleted. The bodies Of the animals are burned
in a huge furnace. The researches which are
being carried on with the new remedy are at
tended with considerable danger 1t is re-
ported that five scientists died after testing
the CHAMBERS bacillus, and that three medical
men who were working on the cholera microbe
subsequently suffered from violent attack of
the disease. 1t is explained that Prof. Koch
and his assistants owe their immunity from
sickness to the unceasing precautions which
they take while pursuing their experiments.

we Agree With the nraior.

The Journal, in an editorial sympa-
thizing with certain Ohio Republic
cans who did not get the offices they
desired, booms Blaine for the head of
the Republican National ticket in
1891, and warn the friends of Harri-
SON not to .'throw bricks at the man
from Maine. Evidently the loss of
that mission to Timbuctoo still
rankIes in the Majors soul, and he is
willing to join the assault which is to
be begun in that combined Paradise
and Inferno of ofice-seekers, Ohio. We
have always agreed with the Major as
to his fitness for the Timbuctoo mis-
sion, and we + charmed to find our
selves still further in accord with him
on the question Of the relative popu-
larity of Blaine and Harrison. He
says that 1t is ten to one in favor of the
former; and 1t cannot be less. But
we have been eredibly informed that
the mistaken public policy which per-
mitted the Major to remain among us,
was the n point on which nobody
at Washington has ever doubted that
she President and Secretary of State
we're wholly in accord. Therefore we
doubt whether the Major or the dip

One of the late matrimonial engage

daring little piece of repartee on the
part of the young woman. who has
enjoyed the reputation of being not
only a wit, but a beauty and a belle
as well. Although quite young she
was known to have declined the honor
of matrimonial alliance with several
of the best so-called catches of the
season, and it. began at last to be
rumored that her mind and heart
were set on one of her admirers who
had not, as yet, the temerity to come
to the point. However that may be,
the young mar in question was her
partner in one of the Harvard as
semblies during last winter, and
during the 1ntermission for supper
was seated with her in a sequestered
nook, far from the madding crowd"
Apropos of something that had been
said, he asked her, laughingly, if the
report were true that she had refused
all the eligible men in her set. She
blushed wildly for u moment. then
suddenly raised her head. looked him
full in the face, and said, pointedly:
''Yes, it is true-present company ex-
ceptedl" 1t is, perhaps, needless to
state hat they remained in the 'se-
~questered nook during therest of the

wore q sparkling solitaire on her lett

has it that the above conversation
was overheard by one of the discarded
suitors, who forthwith gave it away

A heartless attempt on the part Of a
husband to desert his wife and three
children came to the notice of the
Hoboken police last night.
While Policeman Werner was standing
on the Bremen pier about half-past seven
o'clock mis- attention was attracted by the
actions of a middle aged woman and "a
burly fellow who wore a jumper and had
the appearance of a longshoreman. The
woman had q child IN her arms and "
little ones by her side. The fellow was
trying TO force the woman and children

her husband met another woman
with whom he became infatuated.
From the time that he first met his
woman he began to neglect his family
and spent all his money with her. Then
he wanted his wife to go out and work
for him. Finally he determined TO get
rid of his family in order that he might
enjoy the company Of the other woman
unmolested.
Last evening, according to his wife's
story, he came home rather early from
work and told her to get ready with her
children to accompany him, and under
some pretext he induced her to pack up
her effects and take them along. The
husband led the way TO the Christopher
street ferry house, when the wife object

She alleges that her husband forced her
aboard the ferryboat and threatened TO
throw her overheard ii she refused to do
as he wished. Arriving at Hoboken the
heartless husband brought his family to
