THE LATEST LAUGH.


ONeE tne heDOEt NftNt~
lands Withdrawal.
OF all the reports that have found their
way into local print, that one in morn
ing paper to-day that Mr.. Cleveland would
refuse to be candidate for the Presidency
has excited the utmost degree Of cachina-
ton among the politicians.
When an evening local paper the other
day announced that Mr.. German was
going to make statement deprecating
the use Of his name in connection with
the Democratic nomination and urging
all hands to be for Cleveland, there was
smile that could be heard all over the
Capitol.
Now that the announcement comes
that Mr.. Cleveland Is not and will not be
candidate, there Is q laugh so robustious
that the Goddess of Liberty in the dome
feels insecure in her position and is in
clined to ask for an appropriation to
strengthen her foundation.
The idea that Mr.: Cleveland, who has
been going up and down the earth for the
last two years seeking denomination
and crying aloud from the housetops that
he needs one in his business announcing
at this stage that ''your candidate / can
not be-" is something so excruciatingly
funny TO folks that the hyenas now in the
small National Zoo are thinking of weep
ing instead Of laughing.
And, again, the idea that Mr.. Cleveland
should say that he did not want to be
longer ''in it'' strikes people in the same
manner as If the man who usually wants
twenty-five cents for "a nights lodging"
should offer to the wayfarer that sum out
of his own pocket.
A prominent Democratic member of
the House. in laughing away the absur-
dity of the report that is herein discussed,
and in mentioning Mr.. Cleveland's we'll
known desire to advance himself, and
himself only, said: "What would Cleve-
land do, IL he were not a candidate for
office? He has been candidate for place
ever since he was 25 years of age. In the
language of the poet: Can the Leopard
Change. His Spots; Can the Ethiop Change

MISS GLADYS GETS THE CASH.
But the Criminal Action Against Nj
Leslie Duncan Goes ON Nevertheless

But the Criminal Action Against Mr..
Leslie Duncan Goes ON Nevertheless
LONDON, Feb. 20.-Mr. Leslie Fraser
Duncan, late editor of the Matrimonial
Nars, has paid Miss Gladys Knowles the
reduced amount of damages, f0,500, with
costs, awarded to her as the result of her
suit against him for breach of promise of
marriage. On the first trial of the suit,
early last summer, Miss Knowles secured q
verdict for 10000 damages.
To avoid payment of this sum the de-
fondant transferred his interest in the
Matrimonial Nc,cs and fled 10 the conti-
nent, and afterward declined to accept
Miss Knowles proposition tn compromise
the matter by paying her R2, 800. Later
ON Mr.. Duncan went through the Bank
ruptcy Court, and, during the course of
his examination, the fact leaked out that
he was married in June to the Hon. Mrs.
! Whyte-Melville, widow of the novelist of
that name, and mother of the Viscountess
Masserene.
Mr.. Duncan appealed against the YER
dict as being excessive, and the Court,
after due consideration, reduced the
amount of damages as already stated.
In spite of the payment of the sum
awarded for damages together with the
costs, the criminal action commenced by
Miss Knowles will still proceed. but a
mitigation of the offence will be pleaded.

A SUCCESSFUL CONSPIRACY.
The Free Coinage Bill to he Reported
Adversely.

NuNtTsttNs
The tactics Of the goldite members of
the House Committee on Coinage,
Weights and Measures have prevailed.
To-day by vote of to that committee
decided TO report the bill back to the
House with the recommendation that Il
DO not pGgs. prOcrastination is generally
put down as the thief of time. In this case
II might be characterized as the pilferer
Of the rights Of the people. There has
never been any doubt that, If vote upon
the bill could be had in the House on its
merit, II would have gone through that
body without more than slight hitch
here or there. There was also no doubt
of the fact that the majority of the people
OF this country were in favor OF free
coinage. Then came in the scheme TO
hold the Senate bill in the House com.
mittee until 1t would be too late for any
action on the part of the lower branch,
and then report it adversely. Against
these tactics hot fight was made by the
friends of free coinage on the committee,
but 1t has come to naught.
The Speaker, the Republican leaders
in the House and the Administration have
prevailed. There has been for the past
two weeks very well defined opinion
that there would be no action upon the
Silver bill in the House this session. The
action of the committee to-day makes that
opinion certainty. The manner in which
the measure has been smothered smacks
a good deal of the nature of conspiracy,
but 1t was nevertheless a successful CON
spiracy.
Messrs. Wickham, Walker, Comstock,
Knapp, Taylor, Tracey, Wilcox and Vaux
voted against the bill, and Messrs. Car
ter, Bartine, Bland and Williams for it.
The Committee on Coinage, Weights
and Measures held what was probably its
last meeting of this session to-day.
JohnJ j. Knox of New York, formerly
Comptroller of the Currency, addressed
the committee in reference to the passage
of the act of 1878.
Z. b. Bacon, representing the Chamber
of Commerce and Merchants Association
Of Milwaukee, spoke against free coinage
and Alonzo Wardell of South Dakota,
representing the Farmers Alliance, and
Congressman elect jeremiah Simpson OF
Kansas, also an Alliance man, spoke in
favor of the passage Of free coinage
bill.
Senator Stewart of Nevada concluded
the hearing with an argument in favor of
free coinage, after which the committee
went into executive session to take final
action on the bill.

A Quiet Honeymoon.

hfOm Wt BdttM0Fe american, wa.
Yesterday morning about II o. o'clock Mr..
John Jacob Astor made his appearance at
the desk at the Rennert and ordered his
breakfast, after which he and his bride
took q stroll out Charles street. Upon their
return to the hotel they took a carriage
and drove through Druid Hill Park. All
the afternoon Mr.. and Mrs. Astor re-
manned in their room. About o'clock
they ordered dinner, which was served in
their private dining-room. The dinner
was not an elaborate one, as the cost was
only $685. Shortly before $ Mr. and Mrs.
Astor took carriage and started for the
theatre. About 1890 they returned. Mr..
Astor walked in the lobby of the hotel
with handful of letters. AS soon rs his
presence was made known all the men in
the smOking-room crowded in the doors to
get look at him. He did not seem to
mind their glances, and calmly licked a
number Of stamps, mailed his letters, and
then walked out He had on new PAIR

He also wore q bright.red necktie, in
which was placed diamond pin. As

The Skall of Mozart.

luIt6 luOte,
From Vienna comes weird story about
the skull of Mozart, bequeathed by Pro-
fessor Hynti, the anatomlst, to the
Mozartoum at Salzburg. The skull,
which has just found its way to the de-
pository Of other relics of the great COM
poser, was taken many years ago from
Mozart's grave in the cemetery of ST..
Marx, At Vienna, by the grave-diggcr,
who had been much impressed with
Mozart's compositions. He kept il in a
cupboard Mt his home, showing Il only to
his most intimate friends The finding of
the skull was recorded in the calendar
and when the graye-digger died his sue
cossor, an enthusiastic lover of music,
came into possession of both calendar and
skull. One day the engrayer, Hyntl,
while visiting the cemetery of st. Marx to
see his mothers tomb, was oyertaken by
storm and was invited into the grave
digger's house. The latter showed him
the skull and, upon Hyntl stating that his
brother was phrenologist and would be
much interested in the relic, the grave
digger presented II to him. The skull,
like the skulls of Beethoven, Haydn and
Schubert, is rather disappointing to those
who look for signs of the genius which
inhabited IL.

of S1O0,000,000).
The bill having been read in full Mr..
Edmunds said that in the necessary alb
sence of the chairman of the Committee
on Foreign Relations (Mr. Sherman) il
was his duty to take charge of the bill for
the time being, The subject was not q
new one, The national Importance of
having the kind of interests in the Mica
ragua Canal which the bill provided for
had been fully discussed in the Senate
two or three years ago. Besides, the re-
port of the committee was SO full and
complete and condensed that he did not
feel called upon at this time to take M
the time of the Senate in again going

pecially in view of the very complete and
