Table Manners in Dining Car.

New Yorker taught man out west, AYERS
the veracious Sttn, how to eat his dinner the
other night. 1t was on a dining car on the Chi
caRo and Northwestern railroad on the way to
St. Paul. The New Yorker aud the western
man sat down to the same table at about the
same time. The western man was well dressed.
but there was something about him that sup.
Rested his being self-ma6e man who had be
come prosperous Without a chance to cultivate
ms manners. He took up the napkin by his
plate and tucked it under his chm The New
Yorker took his napkin and put it In his lap
The western man watched the other and imme-
diately took down his napkin and used il as the
other had done. The waiter put a dish of celery
~ each place, and when the two men had fin
lshed their soup the lesson in celery eating was
oegur. The western man did not know what to
do with his. He tasted it and liked it, Then he
ATE whole piece The New Yorker took down
the SAT- cellar from the rack at the head of the
table, sprinkled some salt or the cloth there
being no better place to put il, and, dipping his
celery In the salt began to eat it. The western
man watched the operation and at once fol
lowed suit. He enjoyed the addition of salt
and demolished his whole portion of the celery
In order TO make sure that he was being
watched and copied, the New Yorker took
down from the rack the conductor nj cal check
which that functionary had punched and
thrown there. The New Yorker pretended to
study the check with interest. He was amused
20 see that the western man fumbled in the
rack for his check, found it, and read it as il 1t
were part OF necessary formula to do so
So the meal proceeded. The western man did
everything that he saw the other man do, and
with such initiative skill as to leave nothing to
be desired in his behavior. But the finger bowl
was too much for him
Whats that" he inquired of the waiter
Dat dar is a finger bowl" said the darky
''fer to wash yo' fingers when you're done eat
ing"
ooh, see, - said the westerner.
He wisely waited until the New Yorker came
to that stage of the meal when the bowl was
REQUIRED. Ire western NYatchad the
operation of moistening the fingers and lips
with narrow and searching gaze. He then
proceeded to perform within the confines Of his
own bowl q process so violent that the bowl VAS
upset and the scented water ran out upon the
table cloth.
Hanged If can use that darn thing" said
the man; "a washbowl and q fowl is good
enough for me, every time"
lie made the remark to the waiter and the
waiter received 1t with the stolid and iInmobile
countenance of a statue.
That was one occasion when the New
Yorker out west was not the tenderfoot," the
New York man thought as he left the car

Pennsylvania May Go Democratic.
In political circles both in New York city
and Philadelphia there is a good deal OF talk
to the effect that Pennsylvania may go
| democratic next Tuesday. II il should,
| Gov Pattison's chances for the democratic
| presidential nomination would be greatly
| increased.
One OF the reasons, and perhaps the
strongest, why the democrats are hopeful
Of carrying Pennsylvania is the lack Of con-
fdence in republican officials. 1t has been
discovered within the last few months that
some Of these officials are concerned in
robbing the people of millions Of dollars.
Bardsley. one of them, is now in the peni-
tertiary and the state Senate is pretending
to find out shat connection the
state treasurer ana auditor general had
with the crime. The Senate was con-
vened by the governor to investigate the
charges against the treasurer and auditor,
but, being q republican body. it does not
permit a thorough investigation. Enough
has been discovered, however, to lead a
great many republicans to think that
change to democratic management of the
states affairs would be good thing for the
people.
On Tuesday in the Senate the attorney
general called the treasurer to the witness
stand and asked him if he had not made an
arrangement in 1889 with Bardsley, the con-
victed treasurer of Philadelphia, whereby a
certain sum Of state money was 20 be
retained in the Keystone National
Bank of Philadelphia, the interest
on which was to be paid to
United States Senator Quay. The repub-
licsn senators, after consultation of two
hours. refused to permit the question to be
asked. Very naturally the people are Won
dering whether Mr.. Quay, the republican
boss of Pennsylvania, shared in Bardsley's
plumber. A circular has already been pre-
pared. 1t is said, IN which it is alleged that
Mr.. Quay knows more Of what became of
the money of the wrecked Keystone
National Bank than he is willing to tell.
All of these things have their inf1u ence
with the people. The republicans of Penn
sylvania are strong partisans, but if they
become satisfied that their candidates are
not honest they will vote against them by
the thousands. A state treasurer and
an auditor general are to be elected
in Pennsylvania next Tuesday. The demo-
cratic candidates are men of integrity and
ability. The action of the republican
Senate in refusing to allow questions reflect
ing upon Senator Quay to be asked, will
help the democratic candidates wonderfully.
Surprises In Pennsylvania may be expected
next Tuesday.

Chances Now Favor Campbell.

Now that the liveliest and most impor-
! taut campaign Of the year draws to a
close out in Ohio the consequent excitement
appears to increase steadily as election day
draws near. Very nearly as much interest
in this campaign is manifested all over the
country owing 20 its important bearing
upon the forthcoming presidential cam
psign. Il is based upon the principle that
will be made the vital issue OF that contest.
No doubt but both sides are fighting the
tariff question upon its merits for all It is
worth.
Nevertheless the republicans now appear
to be getting the worst Of the battle al.
though they are said to have been freely
supplied with funds from Pittsburg and
other points where commercial and specu-
lative interests were involved in the success
of maintaining high tariff.
Few republicans are more steadtast to the
partys interests and eager for its success
than Col. Frank A. Burr. Yet on his recent
return from a thorough survey of the situa-
ton. as an honest journalist, he finds him
self compelled to admit to the stalwart
protective Pittsburg Dispatch that there is
but little hope left for Mckinley. Here
are his exact words: "Ten days ago every
thing was playing into McKinley's hands
But within the last week the tide has
changed"
Just now the colonel says that the contest
sis in the air. and he adds that it looks TO
him like almost ''aDybody's fight" After
expressing the opinion that "the major may
have a majority of 10000 or he may be
Left the distinguished correspondent pro-
ceeds to loudly lament that Mckinley
commenced his canvass too early" By
way of sustaining his apprehensions the
colonel states that he has watched many
campaign in the past twenty years" and
never saw one turn out well for the side
that commenced firing too soon." This
leads him TO think that Mckinley has
wasted his ammunition and is weak when
he should he strong" Therefore his per-
sonal inclinations do not blind him to the
fact that 1.-THE outlook for the republican
ticket is not as hopeful as it might be-"
Concluding he observes that "the people
outside of the state have the impression that
Mckinley will have walk-over. Many
men have been defeated by having too
much confidence. 1t is this republican
confidence that is injuring the Republican
party in Ohio"
Still Col Burr thinks that the republi-
cans will manage to get control of the
legislature and that Foraker will have the
best Of 1t in the reckoning for United States
senator. Moreover he declares that the
vociferous apostle Of fire and fury is very
hostile toward Sherman and Foster and is
playing every card he can command TO beat
them both and win the stake for himself.
Furthermore he says that Foraker is play
ing exceedingly well
Although democrats all over the country
are very anxious to see Mckinley beaten
and Campbell reelected they would also be
very sorry to see so turbulently vindictive
and unscrupulously partisan republican
as Foraker scheme his way into the United
States Senate from the state Of Ohio. Even
uncompromising and bitter old John Sher~
man would be far preferable.

Made Sheridan ridiculous.

A good story of Gen. Sheridan was told me
the other day by Mexican gentleman, an init
mate friend Of the great northern soldier in his
lifetime, says writer in the Boston Herald.
One day calling on the commander of the army
OF the union at his Office in Washington he
found the hero of Winchester at his desk, his
feet incased 10 slippers, and his shoes demo.
cratically placed on top of his DESK While the
general was apparently absorbed in some writ
ing the Mexican gentleman, who thought some
servant had left the warriors shoes in the wrong
place, took his cane and gently deposited the
shoes on the floor.
The next day the Mexican gentleman called
again on Sheridan and found him at his desk
shoes on top as before The polite resident of
the tropics began once more removing the
shoes to the floor, when all at once Sheridan
roared out:
Don't you do that again, sir! You make me
ridiculous, sir"
Il beg your pardon, general, but how have
made you ridiculousg'
why, sir, said Sheridan, still annoyed: Eyes
terday, sir, went out to walk after you had
called on me, / was nearing the white house
when noticed u gentleman looking at the in
tently. Soor he addressed me. saying: 'Ex-
cuse me, general, but aren't you afraid of
catching colds? Why, sir no. rot that know
of; what's the matter. SIR Well said the
gentleman, it ia very damp and you are going
about in your slippers l tell you, sir said
Sheridan, addressing his Mexican friend you
made me ridiculous. 1t is my habit, sir, to put
my shoes on my desk. where / cannot fail to see
them, so may not forget to put them on. and
confound 1t, sir you come around here with
your notions of propriety and send me around
town in my slippers, sir.'

Broken by the Courts.

Samuel ). Tilden was one OF the best laws
yers of bis day, and yet he failed to make
a will that the courts would sustain. He
was very rich man and he wished TO de-
vote the greater part of his estate to chari-
table, educational and scientific purposes.
He took great care in drawing his will, and
he died ia the belief that the money he was
almost life time in accommodating would
be used fer the benefit of the people of New
York city.
At the time Of his death his estate
amounted to about IS, 000, 900, and it is esti-
mated to amount at the present time to be-
tween $4,000, 900 and 81 ,000,o 900. Very soon
after his death his nephews attacked his
will. They ran the risk Of losing what was
given them by the will, but they were 81
sure of success that the risk did not appear
to them TO be great
The contest was long one and was
finally decided in the court Of the last re-
sort. The fault in the will was that it pro-
vided for carrying out the will Of the
trustees appointed by Mr.. Tilden to admin
lister his estate rather than that OF Mr..
Tilden.
In interpreting will the rule is to find
out the intention OF the testator and follow
it, if the intention does not conflict with the
statutes. 1t was easy enough TO find out
from Mr.. Tilden's will what his intention
was, and if he had told the trustees named
in the will exactly what he wanted done il
would not have been possible to
| break his will. But that he
did not do. He stated that he wanted his
money to be devoted to charitable, educa-
cational and scientific purposes, and left it
to the trustees to decide how the money
should be used to carry out his intention.
The giving of these discretionary powers &c
| the trustees was contrary to the New York
statutes, and, therefore, the court declared
the will void.
However. MIR. Tilden's intention will not
| be entirely defeated Mrs. Hazard, one Of
the heirs Co whom belongs one-half OF tbs
estate, has accepted 1878. 200 and giver
| So, 900, 900 or more to the founding of fre'
library in New York city. Mrs. HazarC
says that she knows what MIR. Tilden de-
sired and she willingly gives up two-third
Of her share in order that Mr.. Tilden's pur
pose may not be wholly defeated. It mus
be admitted that she is very generous wo

After the Commissioners.

The first controller OF the treasury thinks
United States commissioners get too much
money for the services they render. In his
annual report, an extract from which was
published in cur dispatches yesterday, he
recommends legislation that will reduce
their compensation.
This is the first time, probably, that there
has been complaint in official sources
of the legitimate fees of United
States commissioners. There has been
a great deal Of complaint for years
OF fees obtained upon trumped-up charges.
In many parts of the country United States
commissioners. clerks and marshals have
combined to fill their pockets by arresting
people for alleged offenses for the purp 3se of
making fees out of the government. 1t has
not been very long since 1t was charged that
in one of the southern states there were
hundreds of people arrested on the
charge Of cutting timber on government
land. The arrested parties we're never
brought to trial, for the reason. doubtless,
that there was no evidence against them,
but the fees collected from the government
by the commissioner, clerk and marshal
amounted to a big sum. The first controller
should try to put stop to the illegitimate
methods adopted to earn fees, and he would
not then, perhaps, have so much reason TO
call attention to big incomes

When the Rev. Mr.. Pond went to Leav-
euworth to preach in st. Paul's church last
Sunday under an assignment from the
Bishop Of Kansas he is said to have read the
riot act to the congregation over which the
Rev. DIR. Topper formerly presided Some
of the parishioners say that she began a
scolding sermon" by telling the congregation
that he would not accept call to the church
if it was rendered him. Then he visited
upon his listeners some plain truths. In-
stead of leaving the church as might have
been expected the congregation heard the
young minister out. Both the high and the
low church forms of worship were discussed
very frankly, and the Rev. Mr.. Pond de-
clared that it was a matter of choice with
each person in the church which method of
teaching they would follow. If they had a
high churchman for a minister they could
bend the knee IL they saw at. Otherwise this
formality might be omitted. But the min
lister should be permitted to conduct the
service without meddling Interference from
the congregation" Ii is understood that in
spite Of the young mans breezy discourse
many Of the congregation would like TO re-
tain him if he could be prevailed upon to
accept call. Probably they like his frank
honesty and admire his stur Oily maintained
independence.
