copyright by Edgar W. Nye.l
The past thirty days have been very
productive of heterogeneous by mail for
this department. and desire at this time
to express thanks for the interest shown
and the appetite for knowledge manifest
ed by these frequent calls for informa-
ton upon subjects so widely and so dia-
metrically differing in character. Che
knowledge of which is yet 80 important
TO each writer in fitting himself or her
self for the great battle of life. trust
that the somewhat bantering tone EN-
ployed ut times in the treatment of these
subjects will not deter future CORE
spondents from ever and again tapping
this perennial font of varied, though
sometimes fly blown, information.
Pimply Harris-assumed name, Judge
writes from Aspen, Colo:
"SR-l am the author of number on
little poetic bits, some of whom have been
printed. and lately have thought that
although there was very little money
into it | would do well, as matter of
prestige and in order to catch on TO the

some more ambitious pieces for the mag
szines. So done SO, and done it so as
not TO offend either publication, sending
poem 10 each, The Century, Scribner's
and Harper's. also little oriental pean
to The Atlantic Monthly.
Some of these magazines wrote to
me by means of job press that they
liked my verse. but that it was not fitted
20 their columns. wrote back for them
TO tell me how much the thing run over
or how short IL was of "a page, and
would trim her up so it would fit, but to
this / got no reply. | have decided from
having gotten brief and rather con-
ventional replies all around, together
with the manuscript which | sent, that
unless YOU have a pull as n poet on these
magazines you might as well go to solic-
iting orders for fruit trees in perdition
as to expect you can suit the morbid
taste Of these people.

Some Of my verse is light and efferves-
cent, like Charlotte Rouge, whilst other
is more filing and heavier, like what
you might call the rump steak of
rhyme.
II wish you would tell me. as between
old frontiersmen and co-wor1ers in the
literary vineyard, what in your opinion
Is eating the editors of the magazines.

For Reasons Best Known to Himself He
Declines to 60 on the Stump for Gov
ernor Campbell or Anybody Else but
Himself. ~

BosroN. July 27.-To representative
Of the Herald, at Buzzard's Bay, Ex-
President Cleveland said today, in reply
to inquiries concerning the report that
he was to go on speech-making trip in.
Ohio: II do not expect to take part in
the campaign there, nor in any other
state, and have never given the
slightest intimation OF an intention
to do so. am convinced that Gov
ernor Campbell and all my other fair
minded political friends will understand
that if decline to 60 upon the stump
there are perfectly good and valid rea-
sons for my actions, entirely consistent
with my most earnest desire for the
success of all the Democratic candidates
in Ohio or elsewhere. Of course l an
ticipate that the cry will be raised in
certain quarters, if such request is
made and declined, that am selfish
and Indifferent to the success of the
nominees of my party, out such lima
tured accusations do not expect to
escape in any event.

A VOLUNTARY NON-SUIT.
FAYLoR GIVES UP HIS INTEREST
ING PROSECUTION.
It Failed Because the Testimony Of Dick
Chute and Steve Gage Could Not Be
Obtained-The Suit Will Be Reopsned
When the Absent Witnesses Are Found


SAN FRANCISCO, July 27.-In the trial
Of the suit Of George w. Taylor to re-
cover $4,000 claimed to be due him as q
lobbyist at the last session Of the legis-
latnre, Henry Wangenheim testified,
this morning, that he had accepted from
Frank Freeman release for $40, 900
whirhs had been deposited by the latter
in Sacramento bank, and had turned
the release over to w. B. Freeman
shortly after. He did not know what
disposition the latter had made of it.
This sum Faylor's counsel claimed was
used in connection with the passage Of
the Glenn county bill, and SUBJ
pena for w. B. Freeman, as
witness was requested. Counsel also
asked for continuance of the case un-
til Richard Chute and Stephen T. Gage,
who, he claimed, were important wit
nesses, could be found, but the court
denied the motion, the Judge stating
that the case could not be held open in
definitely. Attorney Clunie shereupon
said he would consent, on Faylor's be-
half, to voluntary nonsuit, and a de-
cision to that effect was entered. It is
stated the case will be reopened when
ever the missing witnesses are found.

Brief Run ON the Peoples Savings Bank
of San Francisco.
SAN Francisco, July 27.-A run began
on the Peoples Home Savings bank this
morning, and several thousand dollars
were paid to depositors. Columbus
Waterhouse is president OF the bank
and B. o. Carr, secretary and manager.
pr. R. H. Mcdonald, president of the
Pacific bank, is one OF the directors.
According to its report, July 1st, the
Peoples bank had capital stock of
$1,000, 900. Of which one-third was paid
ups There was due depositors, who
numbered about eight thousand, $780,
600. The banks officers state that the
institution lie perfectly solvent. Two OF
the San Francisco morning papers had
directed attention to the bank in the
past two days, contending that the State
bank examiners had not made proper
examination of the banks affairs. The
state bank commissioners examined the
condition of the bank today, and their
report shows it to be good. The Pacific
bank furnished enough coin to meet the
run, and all the depositors who applied
for their money were paid.
The bank was kept open until 8
o'clock. During the day between $780,
900 and $100, 900 was paid out to depos-
itors. The total number of accounts
paid was 900, and 63 new accounts and
$4,000 In deposits was added to the bust
ness OF the bank during the day.

RENE, July 27.-It is announced that
the Italian deficit in the year 1S90-9l is
about 18, 100000 lire. Notwithstanding
all the economies introduced, to fur
ther diminish the expenses, a sweeping

Thirteen thousand men who were for
economical reasons to have received at
this time an unlimited furlough, will
for sundry reasons not given be de-.
tanned in the army for the present.
The recent heavy losses at the Vati-

ical measures there also.

SONORA CAL, July 27.--The forest fire
which has been burning along the STAN
islaus river, on the Calaveras side,
crossed the river today in the vicinity of
the marble works, near Columbia. The
heavy underground in that vicinity fed
the flames rapidly, .and they came upon
and surrounded the works. Miss Kate
McNamee, aged 25 years, daughter OF
John McNamee, owner of the works,
was caught on the road near her home,
and being unable to escape the flames,
was burned to death. The fire is still
burning over the mountain up the river,
and will do much damage before being
extinguished. The marble mill and
works were destroyed, and the dwelling
only saved by gr eat effort.

FOUGHT IN THE DARK.
A Fatal Shooting ARRAY Between Deputy
Sheriffs and Customs OhRcials.

A Fatal Shooting Array Between Deputy
SheriHfs and Customs Ohicials.
SEATTLE, Wash, July 27.--A shooting
ARRAY took place this morning at
Wooley, small place in Skagit county.
United States Customs Inspector Baird,
stationed at that place, together with
James Buchanan, shot and killed dep
uty sheriff of King county named George
w. Poor and wounded ]. E. Terry. They
arrested another inspector named Tay-
lor Holden. The stories OF the shooting
are very conflicting. Holden and Poor
left on Sunday for Wooley, the latter
telling the sheriff that he was going
after some opium. Terry seems to have
been in with Holden and Poor, either
for the purpose of betraying the smug-
glers, whoever they might be, or to aid
the officers in getting away with it for
themselves. Holden accused Baird and
Buchanan of being smugglers, and de-
clared that he had received word, and
took Poor along to arrest the smugglers.
The parties met in the dark and the
shooting followed. Owing to forest
fire at Snohomish. the wires are down,
and further particulars are unobtaina-

garding the shooting. 1t has been
rumored that Holden, Poor and Lerry
were endeavoring to smuggle twelve or
fourteen Cinnamon across the border,
and that the shooting occurred as the
result of their resisting arrest. There
are also indications that Holden and
Poor were in the line of duty when they
wereinterfered with by Buchanan and
Baird. 81
Several weeks ago Holden applied to
Deputy Collector Alexander for leave
of absence to 60 to the border on a
secret mission. He was refused,
but Collector Bradshaw allowed
him to 60. On Friday he went to
Wooley and said he could make good
capture, ,Seven though parties in the SER
vice we're trying TO down him. Poor got
permission from Sheriff Woolrey to go
with Holden to Sedro, and nothing was
heard Of the other party until the news
of the desperate encounter came.
G. E. Byman, a brakeman on the
Seattle. Lake Shore and Eastern rail-
road, member of the coroner's Jury,
said: "The shooting took place about
IL o'clock, one mile north OF Wooley,
just off the car track. saw Baird at
the hotel about IL 80 with his head all
bandaged up and covered with blood. He
said he had killed a man down
the road, and shot another to pieces and
did not know whether he was dead or
not"
Poor's body was brought to town.
Terry was found covered with blood and
would not say much. He said "If I'm
going to die will say something, but if
not I'll kedp mnm."
He claims that he arrested Holden for
smuggling.

tinction Between the Two.
LONDON, July 27.-The president of
the Wesleyan conference today made
the authoritative statement of the views
of the church on the recent social scan
dals. He condemned the doctrine that
while cheating was wrong, gambling
was right. The Wesleyans, he said,
held that the wrong began with
gambling, either in aristocratic
houses or the stock exchange of
commercial circles. The churches
ought to unite and obtain legislation to
check the evil. The president also sug-
gested that among the means to be taken
to prevent gambling, is that of prevent
ing the newspapers from printing ad-
vertisements directly tending to promote
gambling. In conclusion. the president
said the many thousands of Christian
voters, determined at the coming gen.
eral election to put moral questions
above party considerations, could return
a man free from moral stain.
