Spring Riding Saddle.

Most of those who have done much
horseback riding have sad recolections
of having had at one time or another to
jog along for weary miles on the back Of
an i'll bred. straight patterned nag,
whose every step Jared every nerve in
the body and aroused the most pro-
nounced feelings of resentment. Accord
ing to the inventor of a new saddle, such
memorable incidents as these need never
more occur and the horseback riding of
the future will be pure, unmixed delight,
This saddle owes it peculiar merit to a
series of springs. The upper saddletree
or seat is connected with the lower SIM
ply by these springs, so there is nothing
to interfere with that free working with
out which no spring saddle can fulfill
the purpose and object of its construc-
ton, viz, to relieve the rider from the
constant jolt experienced in riding on a
springless saddle. The springs are cone
shaped, working within each other, and
are made of tempered steel wire 80
placed between the wooden tree and the
upper tree or frame seat Consisting Of a
steel wire bent to the shape of the lower
tree and clasped by brass bands which
cross each other) as to work freely
wherever the motion of the horse may
bring the weight Of the rider.-Phila-
delphia Press.

THE IRISH STRUGGLE.

Eve of the Cork Election-An Anti-Par-
nellite Victory Predicted.
Cork, Nov. 5.-On the evening OF the

o'BRIEN AND GILLooHY HURT.
There was another serious election
fight last night between the Parnellites
and McCarthyites. Among the people
injured are William O'Brien and John
Gilloohy, members of parliament.
o'BRIEN MAKES SPEECH.
Mr.. O'Brien in speech this evening
said the Redmond and Harrington
manifesto was tissue of grotesque
falsehoods. Just imagine, he said, four
Irish members of parliament asking the
Irish bishops to withdraw their letter
and repeat the sixth commandment.
The only existing copy Of the Boulogne
proceedings was in the hands OF Par
nell's representatives. 1t was a lie to
say they offered Parnell to veto the
home rule bill. The only proposal made
a6 u bOldC6 tO dIuoll, WAS w give hihi q
consultative voice with Mccarthy on
the details of the future bill.
ANOTHER BLOODY RIOT.
Late tonight crowd of Parnellites at
tackled and stoned body of Mccarthy
ties, parading and singing "God save
Ireland" The McCarthyites fled to a
bridge, where they turned and faced
their pursuers. Each showered missiles
upon the other, but eventually the Par
nellites captured the bridge. About the
same time detachment OF police ar
rived, and after some difficulty succeed
ed in dispensing the rioters. Many per-
sons were cut with stones.
PARNELL's ESTATE BEING SOLD.
DUBLIN, Nov. 5.-All the employees OF
the late Charles Stewart Parnell, ON his
Avondale estate, have been dismissed,
and the sawmills and Arkow quarries,
which also belonged to Parnell, are to be
sold. Only the family mansion will be
retained. Mrs. Parnell, widow OF the
dead leader, was reported yesterday
evening to be dying, but this morning
Henry Harrison, member of parliament,
telegraphed that the report was untrue.

Baizao and Berthet.

Balzac, the great French novelist,
once received a lesson in good manners
from younger and less distinguished
associate. The hint came with good
grace from the younger man, Ellie Ber-
thet, because it was deserved, and be-
cause Berthet himself was a person Of
courteous manners and gentle and amia-
bic disposition. Berthet had written
some romances which became SO popular.
and he SO distinguished himself in jour-
nallstlc work, as to become an assistant
editor OF The Steele.
AS the assistant of M. Desnoyers, the
editor OF The Steele, he had been intro
duced to Balzac. But though Balzac
had many interviews with M. Desnoy-
ers, and was often in the Office, he never
paid the slightest attention to Berthet.
he did not even speak or bow to the
young novelist.
One day Balzac took some copy to The
Steele office, and was greatly disturbed
because M. Desnoyers, whom he wished
to see, was out.
Soon after he left the Office he met
Ellie Berthet. He went up to the young
man, and without touching his hat or
otherwise saluting him, touched him on
the arm with one finger and said:
"Ahl you tell Desnoyers that have
left the copy at the office"
Without second glance he turned
away.
Berthet delivered the message and the
editor replied:
II am not likely to forget it. He has
sent me word by three persons already"
Three days later Balzac and Berthet
met at about the same place. Berthet
did not take off his hat. He touched
Balzac on the arm with one finger and
said:
"Ahl he says you have sent him word
by three persons already"
Then he walked on.-Youth's Com

BERLIN, Nov. .,5,-The suspension yes
terday of Hirschfeld & Wolf, bankers,
caused sensation in financial circles,
but it was nothing to the developments
of today. 1t was reported at the time
the failure was announced that the en-
peror of Germany and Prince Henry of
Prussia were liable to lose large
amount by the failure, and that the
minister of public worship, Df. Won
Cossler, had lost his entire fortune, and
that many members of the most aristo-
cratic families were involved in the
firms troubles. Under such circum-
stances rigid investigation into the af-
fairs Of Hirschfeld & Wolf was only
natural. This inquiry into the banks
business methods was commenced
yesterday, and resulted this morning in
the arrest of Herr Wolf, head Of the
firm, on a charge of a most serious ma
ture, the particulars OF which have not
yet been made public.
The financial upheaval is the only
thing talked about today in Berlin, and
further and more startling developments
are expected when the full facts become
known. The amount of the firms lia-
bilities has not been announced, but it
is understood that it is very high.
Hirshchfeld & Wolf assisted Banker
Joseph Leipsiger some years ago out OF
a difficulty. Since then they operated
jointly, Leipsiger accepting bills of ac-
commodation. Leipsiger is the largest
debtor. Realization on VOLTS assets
will therefore depend upon the solvency
of Leipsiger. The public prosecutor is
proceeding against VOLTS son for spread
ing false news on the bourse about EN-
peror Williams health.

Reciprocity with Germany.

CHICAGO, Nov. ga Washington spe-
cial to an afternoon paper says: The
new reciprocity treaty with Germany
will probably be announced at the COM
ing meeting of the German reichstag.
The details are perfected and the treaty
made, but the German minister has
asked the privilege of making the
first formal announcement in Germany.
The substantial outlines of the treaty are
concessions to this country on bread
stuffs and cereals, no higher than the
duties conceded to Austro-Hungary by
the new treaty with that country. Those
duties are about one-half those charged
upon similar products from other coun-
tries. Germany makes these conces-
sions in return for the free entry of beet
sugar roots

France. Germany and Russia.

Till 1870 France held the supreme con-
troll of the peace of the world. No sword
could be unsheathed in Europe without
her consent. Napoleon III was the great
arbiter. A frown from him darkened
the horizon. Ike day after he expressed
regret to Baron Hubner at not being
in accord with Austria, the stock ex-
changes were in a panic. and Austria
and Prussia concluded hasty peace be-
fore the master had time to show dis
satisfaction. Since the war of 1870 this
role has ceased to belong to France.
Germany has usurped it, and her claim
to it is what has revolted the czar, who
remains alone, striving by his deliberate
isolation to neutralize the unwelcome
supremacy Of Germany, allowing France
to-render him apparent homage in order
to emphasize his attitude, but really
knowing himself to be doomed to immo-
bility as long as he remains outside the
allied empires.-De Blowitz in Harper's.

Cold in Alaska.

rienced was so degs. below zero, and that
was when Mr.. Turner extended his trip

Arctic sea. From what traders and
missionaries told US of previous years it
would seem that the winters of 1889.
