many stocks up TO the best prices of the

continued TO buy literally of its special
ties, and reports from that centre indicate
very builsh feeling on American stocks.
Chicago also joined the procession, while
the demand from local operators on both
sides OF the account IN the very limited
offerings sent prices up with bound

Changers, Goulds. and Wizards were still
the most prominent stocks in the market,
and North American was the special fea-

Boss PLATT's young man, who is run
ming against the veteran statesman,
Roswell p. Flower, for governor OF
New York, cannot hope to make win
ming race. The Mugwumps can hardly
stultify themselves by voting for the
man who was forced into Erhardt's
place as collector of customs because the
Jatter enforced civil service, whilst Fas-
sett, in obedienceLto the orders OF his
boss, proceeded, in the words of George
w. Curtis, to run "riot of contempt for
the promises and the pledges of the IRE
publicanI party" OF course Fassett
was playing into the hands of Harrison,
who wants to be renominated; and Platt
has convinced him that the best way to
secure the vote of New York is to use
the federal patronage to that end. Platt
and Fassett used it. Mr.. Flower will re-
ceive the full vote of his party, and a
large Republican independent vote that
cannot be controlled by the managers of
the machine. There is hardihood in the
claim of Republicans that they will car
ry New York, when Massachusetts is
in doubt.

A Story of General Logan.

''That is remarkable story about
Mrs. John A. Logan" remarked gen
tleman to a party of friends the other
evening. ga few months before her
husbands death she had been with
him to New Mexico for his health, and
when they had returned to Chicago a
young girl of twenty, who had been a
favorite with General Logan since her
childhood, came in to see them in the
evening, and he jokingly asked her what
she had learned since he saw her last.
She said she had been studying palm
istry, and he held out his hand and
laughingly told her to read his fortune
Her face became serious at the first
glance and she told him that death
was marked in it, and that unless he
changed his method of living and
working and got rest he would be in his
grave speedily.
"Mrs. Logan, who stood by, observed
that this revelation had disturbing eff
feet on her husband, and with some re-
assuring remark and laugh held out
her hand and told the young lady to
read her hand. The girl took it, looked
at the lines an instant, and burst out
crying. You will be a widow within
six months, sobbed the young palmist,
dropping the hand. And in less time
than that the nation was mourning the
loss of Senator Logan and Mrs. Logan
was widow. New York Truth.

John Kernell, as the Irishmsn OF the

from tradition in his makeup and cos

A REPUBLICAN contemporary says that
the reason the president has not yet
appointed Mr.. Van Duzen to the vacant
postmastership of this city, is that a
batch of protests have gone on against
the appointment. In addition to the
ordinary protests, charges have been
sent on attacking Mr.. Van Queens
character. This is matter of course,
and is always expected in Washington
whenever a California appointment
comes up. The idea that has obtained
at the east about Californians cannot
be complimentary one. The people
q there, who have noted that whenever 9
California name comes up for position il
is at once followed by charges affecting
the candidates integrity of character,
must have come to the conclusion that

dates for the penitentiary than for office,
and that the other half would make fine

LETTER BAG
What the Mavor Did Saw.


In your report of the proceedings at
the dedication of the Young Mems
Christian associations building, 1 am
reported as using the following Ian
guage: "And beyond all, let us erase
from the lines of the immortal consti-
tuition the clause separating church and
state; then will the true joy, the true
happiness be yours in great favor"
What l did in substance say was
There is one lesson that would incul-
cate tonight, and that is: Let us rely
on the wisdom of the omnipresent
architect who inspired the makers Of our
country, and who presided over the
deliberations of the trainers of our con-
stitution, by whose divine assistance
they builded better than they knew
Let us guard with jealous care any en-
croachmenC on the corner stone Of that
great superstructure which guarantees
to us all civil and religious liberty.
Strike from the lines of that immortal
constitution the clause that separates
church and state, and the religious lib
erty which you might enjoy will be
gone from Jour grasp forever"
Your report was SO much at variance
with my true sentiments which ex-
pressed on that occasion, that hope
you will pardon me in asking you to in
