lr IS u little curious that the gentle
men WHO are pulling Mr.. Blaine out of
the presidential race, on the plea that
he will not accept, are all adherents Of
Mr.. Harrison. Mr.. BIaine's friends are
not saying a word. The Philadelphia
Record says:
1t is reported from Washington that Har-
rison,s frisnds-to wit, the gentlemen who
lately wrote Blaine out OF the presidential
ield-are now demanding that the secre-
taty Of state shall write himself out of it.
In brief. they want a letter from HIM 80 alb
so!ute and 50 emphatic es to render his "
nomination q moral Impos8lbiiity. The de
mand is 4 curious comment on their recent
protestatious of entire confidence in

But Mr. Blame must have strangely altered

The republican Globe-Democrat, Of
ST. Louis, insists that the democrats
must take a southern man for speaker
of the F~ifty-second congress. In the
entire northern delegation in the house
Of representatives. it says, there are
no men who viii compare with Mills of
Texas, Crisp of Georgia, or Wilson of
West Virginia in fitness for the post Of
presiding officer"
1t is true that the three gentlemen
named are men of ability, but Mr., Crisp
is the only man among them who ranks
high as a parliamentarian, and Springer.
of Illinois, surpasses hlm ia knowledge
of the rules of the house and readiness
in action. Mr.. Outhwaite. of Ohio. is
of admirable poise and Judgment. Mr.
Bynum, of Indiana, is another northern
man of ability and force, and there is
another southerner who is certainly the
peer Of Mills or Crisp, in every respect
We mean Mr.. Mem Hin, of Tennessee
The democrats from northern states
outnumber those from the south in the
next house and, while the sectional line
should not be drawn, there is no force
in the argument that the south shoult
again have the speaker, after Mr.. Car
lHsle has 81 long represented her in the
presiding officers chair.

A NIGHT ON THE TOWN.

P%RoLoGuE: 1t is no generally known
that Helena was recently honored by a visit
from Prince kashima, a wealthy but some
what eccentric resident of Bohemia. So com
plete was his disguise that, though accom-
panied bv two servants and a mass of bag
gage, his identity was not discovered by
Manager Walker, of The Helena. The
prince is fond of curious adventure and
after much experience find no more pro-
liic field for study than the night scenes of
a great CITY. Fortunately, he is provided
with an unlimited fortune for the gratllca-
ton of this whim. During his brief visit
to this city he was somewhat surprised to
meet the Last Chance Lounger, who once
enjoyed a weeks hunting with the distin-
guished visitor at his principally in north
ern Bohemia. While chatting pleasantly
about old times the prince expressed a de-
sire to see the night side of Helena. 1t was
a pleasure to the Lounger to return former
courtesies, SO he volunteered to conduct
the prince through the upper end of the
city, much to the %latter's satisfaction. The
tour occupied two nights. Among the Incl
dents of the first evening the Lounger at
tempts to give a faithful portrayal of the
following:

Here the narrative of Prince Kashima's
first night in Helena ends. The 0 was
late, and he decided to return to his hotel and
resume the tour on another evening. The
Lounger hopes to chronicle the scenes OF

The groom is the son of wealthy parents and

recently from the east, and when found by the

SWUNG BY HOOKS.
Terrible Suffering inflicted to Propitiate an
Indian Goddess.

Indian Goddess.
Much indignation is expressed among
Europeans throughout India at the failure of
the government Of Madras to interfere with the
ceremony Of hook swinging. the particulars OF
which were recently published. Investigation
does not sustain the excuse of the authorities
that it was . case Of voluntary suffering, as the
victim selected for the torture was chosen by
lot and would probably have been compelled to
submit If he had been unwilling. The custom
has been discontinued for about twenty-four
years. being denounced by the authorities Of 4
former administration. The unusual visitation
of famine, cattle disease and other misfortunes
led to its revival
1t appears that the victim was not merely
swung up by the hooks. A curved knife was
hrst thrust through the muscles of his back on
one side and an iron hook pushed in. Then
the same was done on the other side. The man
was then swung blythe hooks to the end of a
pole tfty feet long. Tho pole was fastened to
car in such a way that the victim was elevated
in the air about forty feet. The car was then
drawn through the streets amid the cries of
people.
Ali this was done to propitiate the goddess of
evil destinies and q figure of the goddess was
carried where she would have full view Of the
proceedings. The victim stood the torture,
and when released showed no sign of fatal
internal injury. For some months to come he
will be the recipient of liberal gifts at ths
hands Of those for whose assumed benefit he
endured the torture.

SCARCITY OF COAL.
Result Of the Labor Troubles Among the
French Miners.

Result Of the Labor Troubles Among the
French Miners.
The labor troubles in the department Of Pas
de Calais, France. where, owing to the strike of
AZ, 900 or more miners, the coal mining indus
try has been practically brought to a stand
still, have, as q natural result, caused the own
ers Of factories and other places which consume
large quantities Of coal to LOOK elsewhere for a
supply Of fuel. Fears are entertained by manu-
facturers in the department du Nord, which
adjoins Pas de Calais on the east and which is
also a large coal-producing region. that the
trouble may spread among the miners in that
department, in which case, unless they took
extra precautions, they would be compelled to
shut down all their works number of the
Pas de Calais manufacturers have succeeded in
importing coal despite the appeal recently
issued by the strikers to the miners of Great
Britain, Belgium and Germany to limit their
output to the actual requirements of their
home trade and thus prevent the export Of
coal to France. And now large quantities OF coal
from German and Belgian mines are arriving
daily at Roubaix and Tourcoing, both towns in
the department du Nord, where it is being de-
Eivered to the manufacturers against coal
famine there
1t is not known whether the foreign miners
have or have not needed the request of the
French miners. but it is believed that the supply
OF coal now being imported from Germany and
Belgium is part Of the surplus held in those
countries.

lwHY LORD LYTroN DIED.

Result Of an Au;opsy-SIr Edwin Arnold's
Estimate.
An autopsy has been held ON the body OF
Lord Lytton, who died suddenly in Paris on
Tuesday, and the result has just been made
public. The examination of the remains Of the
noted diplomat and poet revealed the fact that
the internal complaint from which Lord Lytton
had been suffering had been almost cured and
no traces Of %malignant disease could be dis
covered. The physicians who conducted the
autopsy say that the heart was weak and was
prone to attacks of syncope. They found that
the death OF the ambassador was due to the for
nation Of a clot on one Of the valves of the
heart.
'It met Earl Lytton many times in England,
Paris and in India, where he was for many
years as viceroy." said Sir Edwin Arnold to q
correspondent the other day. II think that the
greatest event in his public life wns the occa-
sion on which he received her majesty Queen
Victoria on her visit to India. That was eight
years ago and about tho time that was made
a knight of the empire of India.
1.-THE earl was a brilliant; snowy sort Of q
public man, but do not think there was any
great depth to his knowledge Of craftsmanship.
l do not consider the dead earl as great
author, nor do believe he SO considered
himself. As Owen Meredith he wrote many
things which partook of his bright and gay
nature, but, like it, with little depth. He il
certainly not to be compared with his great
father, who possessed literary genius, while
nothing more than talent can be attributed
to the SON.

ARMENIANs PROTEST.
The Lochinvar Business Carried on Too
Much by the Kurds.

IDe AOcnlnvar Business Carried Too
Much by the Kurds.
An appeal has been made to the Armenian
patriarch to use his influence in behalf of the
Christian women and girls of Armenia who are
being carried off in large numbers by the
Kurds. 1t appears that women are scarce
among the wild tribesmen, who when they
want wives, swoop down on some Armenian
neighbOrhood and bear away all the
goOd-looking young women they can
find, thus leaving to the Armenian men only
the less attractive. In several instances the
kurds have broken in on wedding PARTIES and
carried the bride off from the feast or church.
1t is believed that the Kurd tribesmen most
nearly all have Armenian wives Judging from
the number stolen, although it is animated
that they dispose of the surplus at n fair market
price for Turkish and Persian harems.
The Turkish authorities are accused of en-
couraging the kurds in their lawlessness, and
instead OF trying to catch and punish the raid
ers they arrest and imprison the Armeniaus
who resist them. One Armenian father ut
Sivas. blessed with four daughters, went to the
Vati to ask for protection, as lie feared visit
from the kurds, and was seized and kept
In prison for week. When he
was released his daughters were gone. whether
taken by the Turks or Kurds he could not dis
cover. hence the appeal to the patriarch whom
the Armenians expect to help them by his in
fiuence with the porte. The patriarch whether
he is afraid Of the Turks or not, as some of his
enemies charge, takes but a languid interest in
the subject.
