IN THE WINGS.

1t seems inexplicable, yet it must stand as
fact, whether there is figment of reason
for it or not: st. Paul failed TO display an ap-
probation of Frederick Warde's talents last
night. Mr.. Warde comes TO st. 2 aul with a
strong company-far above the average-but
1.-THE Lions Mouth" was presented to less
than third of house at the Metropolitan
last evening. The small audience that did
attend were favored with treat that will
abide with them long and well. In parts the
play Is wonderfully strong, and i'll these
parts Mr.. Warde is seen wonderfully great
Ii is a play romance of unusual
action. 1t is all action, indeed, and one
would easily be led TO surmise that it was
written expressly for this eminent young
tragedian and actor. There is no comedy in
1t, however There is tinge of tragedy with
the spice of pathos ana the moiety of ro
nance. 1t is heroic and manly, and patriotic
AN ideal Venetian love story OF the six
teenth century, and it should prove a great
success. Mr.. Wardes support is excellent,
and nothing further in commendation seems
necessary when it is related that Miss Victory
Bateman Charles Herman, II. c. Barton,
Charles Vining, Robert G. Wilson and Miss
Fanny Bowmen contribute to the compile
ment. The great regret is that Mr.. Warde
could not secure the Metropolitan for full
week, and it is hoped that he may return
later in the season.

Katie Emmett had everything her own way
last evening at the Grand. The audience
crowded the theater. and the applause
throughout was unstinted. 1.-THE Waits of
New York" was presented, and. whatever
may be said about its intrinsic merits, it at
tained the end in view of all playwrights.

from start to finish, raising prolonged laugh

added to the whole entertainment by some
very thrilling and pretty situations. The
scenic effects are excellent, and, as for real.
ism-nothing more can be desired than the
Harlem railroad bridge at night and the fire
scene, when fire engine and spanking pair
of horses cross the stage at a 2:40 gait OF
course, the feature of the performance is
Katie Emmett in the role of Willie Rufus, the
New York bootblack. Her acting is decidedly
racy, and is the life and soul Of the play. The
support by G. D. Thompson, Amy Ames and
Ida Burrows is very effective The entertain
ment is one which really entertains. and the
Grand should be well filled each evening this

PLENTY OF MATERIAL.

The Democracy has no reason to be
discouraged at the outlook, so far as the
choice of candidate TO head its ma
tional ticket is concerned. The party
always has had, and always will have,
leaders worthy of the highest honors.
Even in the darkest hours of its history
there was no lack of great men to car
fy its standard. The noble war gov
ernor of New York, HoRATIo SEY-
MoUR, was not chosen to lead
the hopeless fight of 1868 without
competing with others anxious and
fit for the arduous task. When the
Democracy gained control of the house
of representatives in 1875, although
it had long been in the minority,
MICHAEL c. KERR was at hand to
adorn the speakers chair as no Repub-
lican incumbent before or since has
done. AbieSt, profoundest, adroitest in
the list of post-bellum statesmen was
SAMUEL j. TILDEN, who, coming into
prominence suddenly, with no long
career of official life, commanded at
once the support and Endorsement of
. the best elements in the land because

antagonists. Even in 1880, when
few available men presented them
selves for consideration. WINFIELD
SCOTT HANCOCK proved can
didate, safe from partisan assaults
and strong and popular with the people.
At this hour, when the best young
blood of the East is embraced in the
Democracy's host, the situation is hap
pier, surer than ever. GROVER CLEvE-
LAND, honeStest and bravest of men;
MELVILLE W. FULLER, famous as a
lawyer and profound as Judge; AR
THUR p. GoRMAN, conservative, stead
fast. skillful in management, pure in
character; ROBERT e. PATTIsoN, twice
governor of Republican state. repre-
sentative of all that is progressive and
decent in political life; JAMES E.
CAMPBELL, in spite of feeble health
gallantly fighting freedoms battle
against MCKINLEY'S horde of monopo-
lists-these and dozen others furnish
material rich enough to satisfy the de-
mands of the most eXacting and critical
of patriots.

THE FoUNT OF WISDOM.

The Democracy of the State of New
York, at its recent convention, de-
clared-
We steadfastly adhere to principles of
sound finance. We are. against the coinage
of any dollar which is not of the intrinsic
value of every other dollar of the United
States. We therefore denounce the new
SHERMAN silver law. under which one-tenth
of our gold stock has been exported and all
our silver output is damned up at home, as
false pretense but artful hindrance of re-
turn TO free bimetallic coinage. and as tending
only TO produce a change from one kind of
monometallism TO another.
The Pioneer Press, in its issue of Fri
day last, said:
We trust that every intelligent man in the
state will give to this clause the attention
and the laughter-which are its due. For it
is unworthy of a convention of schoolboys
who had ever studied single definition in a
text book on money.
The platform of the New York DEM
ocracy was written under the super
vision of DAVID 3. HILL, twice gov
ernOr of the Empire state, and the sue
cessor of WILLIAM NJ. EvARTs in the
United States senate; of ROSWELL L.
means committee of the national house
OF representatives, and the owner of
million or two accumulated in the bank
ing business; of CONRAD n. JORDAN,
formerly treasurer of the United States,
and president of one of the most power
full money institutions in the Union; of
j. EDWARD SIMMONS, lawyer, some
time president Of the New York stock
exchange, banker and financier; and of
HENRY r. BEEKMAN, a leader among the
sound money advocates of the nation.
One would think that men like these
knew thing or two about what they
talked of, and that their expressed opin-
ions might reasonably deserve some
thing better than laughter. But it ap-
pears that they do not. 1t was very pre-
sumptuous in them to tackle the cur
rency question until they had thoroughly
studied THE Evils of Cheap Money,
Eleventh Paper Ito be continued as soon
as our readers have reste0." There is
only one fount of wisdom for this land
of ours, and that is the Pioneer Press.

ATKINSON is doing great work for the
race if he can teach how there can be
better living with a third less expense.
He has mastered the culinary art, evil
IDENTIFY; for in his experiments he gave
seyen-course dinner, including coffee
and oranges for dessert, at total cost
of 13 cents for the food material for
each. A four-course dinner, soup, fish,
meat and vegetables, with cheap des
sert, for twelve college students, cost
Just 61 cents for the entire material, or
about five cents for each. This COM
prised one and half pounds of strong
food for each guest. According to his
computations the workingman can live
better than he does now on 81 per
week if his wife is a good cook. She
will have to buy the cheaper kinds Of
meat, but when artistically cooked they
are as palatable and wholesome as the
high price cuts. He would have the
woman engaged in light work able to
live comfortably on IA cents per day.
With the cheap and abundant fruits of
this season he would find still further
saving in meat bills. Intelligence and
care are essential to success in his
method. 1t is apparently important
that the instruction In the cooking de-
partments of public schools shall take a
much broader scope than the prepara-
tion of fancy and ornamental dishes, or
even the bread-making art.

visited the scene, but no one has had
the courage to spend the night in the
place, for the phenomenon of the house
appearing to be in flames has been seen
by hundreds on several nights about
midnight. Madison mansion was built
in the early days of the century.and was
the residence of wealthy Englishman
by that name. He lived alone. except
for daughter of about seventeen or
eighteen, whom he gave out to be half
witted, and whom he never permitted to
be seen by the few visitors he received.
Without warning Madison left for Eng
land, and wrote from that country di
recting the sale of his house, but though
it was very comfortable and elegant
residence, no one cared to live in it more
than few weeks.
1t was sold and resold, until its ghostly
reputation, which grew with the years,
has caused it to stay an Improbable in
vestment on its last purchasers hands.
This gentleman, who has owned it since
1854, declares he means to put an end to
the excitement created recently about it
by tearing it down at an early day.

ZONES as AK!CKER.

JONES, the New York lieutenant gov
ernor. who is generally known as the
man ''who pays the freight. "did not. per-
haps, receive the consideration that may
have been polite by the leaders of the
party, and he is now putting himself
outside the breastworks. trying to be-
guile others out. He has been a man
of some personal influence, and has
control of a publication that circulates
among farmers. He wanted to be the
nominee for governor, and the party
disagreed with him on that point. HIS
friends were all left out of the conven-
ton. In consequence he discovers ill
favored things and wants to defeat the
ticket. His fate will be that of most
greatly self-esteemed men whose am
hitions have met disaster and caused
them to bolt. They found themselves
extremely lonesome. and the party
didn't seem to know that they were out
side kicking at it.

NOT THAT KIND OF A BIRD.

Ii there were anything Of considerable
Importance in the reciprocity sche eme
being worked by the secretary of state,
the advantage would be to the manufact-
uring and commercial states of the
East: but the New York convention last
week did not see any reason for doubt
ing that it was BLAINE reciprocity
humbug." although the phraseology
may be lacking in courtesy. Then Sec
retary HALFoRD finds occasion to say
that the removal of the prohibition on
American pork in Germany ''has moth
ing to do with any question of reci-
procity." The credit for the reopening
of the German market IS due to con-
gress rather than any agency of the
administration. The German author
tiles indicated that if the United
States would provide for insDec-
ton by methods indicated the pork
of the country might be admit
ted OH payment of the German duty
of 2.3 cents per pound. Congress passed
law requiring the inspection as the
in the West desired not to have the in
spection at the time of killing, but of
packing; but Secretary RUsK decides
that the method prescribed by Germany
must be followed. If the reciprocity
were to be worked into it, the admins
tration would insist, as it has the power,
that German sugar should not come in
on the same terms as sugar from other
countries unless American pork were
admitted to Germany without duty.
But there is not feather of the rec
iprocity bird in the thing now.

WANTED, AN AMBULANCE.

If any person is of opinion that st. Paul
can get along without an ambulance service
any longer, the scenes witnessed in connec-
ton with the collision on the interurban Sat
urday night would Instantly dispel such
doubts. When the news of the accident
reached police headquarters the central
patrol wagon was sent to the SPOT Rondo
street also being notified to answer the call.
1t might have been that both wagons were
out on police work, their proper duty,
and serious delay would have oc-
Cured. AS it was, two of the
ladies seriously injured declined most prop
erly to be conveyed to the city in the patrol
wagon and were brought in on car. When
Sixth street was reached much Tune was
spent in hunting for doctor, and eventually
the ladies were lifted into hack, as care
fully as the police officers unused to surgical
work, could do. 1t needs no proof to say
that patrol wagons are not and should not be
used for accident cases. For the most worthy
and humane objectof tending properly to the
sick and wounded the city fathers have up to
the present declined to spend few hundred
dollars year. How much longer is this
to be tolerated?

Business.
Philadelphia Record
That the beer trade should be affected
by the cheapness of watermelons seems
almost beyond belief. Yet such is the
fact, as more than one Philadelphia
brewer knows. and more than one Phila-
delphia saloonkeeper will admit. to his
sorrow. There has been a noticeable
decrease in the production of beer dur
ing the past month. and quite number
of brewers have expressed the belief
that the state of affairs has been brought
about solely by the fact that the refresh
ing and thirst-quenching melon has sell
dom been so plentiful or cheap.
One of the largest brewers in Phila-
delphia is the originator of the melon
theory. Il have noticed for some time"
he said yesterday, that our orders
were falling off at rapid rate. This is
very unusual at this time of the year,
and | Immediately began to speculate
as to the probable cause. After consid
cradle investigation, l have come to the
conclusion that the secret lies in the
fact that, instead of drinking beer to
keep cool, large percentage of the
population of Philadelphia have been
eating watermelOns."
During the hot sitting summer nights,
when in the thlckly populated sections
of the city sleep is almost out of the

are not acquainted with low life in Phil
adelphia can realize the discomfortS
which these people undergo during hot
weather. Many OF them, who are not
habitual drinkers. send for kettle OF
beer simply because the beverage is
cooling, and for time, at least, makes
the heat less unbearable.
But now the luscious and harmless
melon has largely supp lanted the foam

SCATTERED BY A CUR.

New York Journal.
The smallest kind of dog created the
biggest sort of rumpus in the vicinity
of Byron McClelland's stable, at the
Sheepshead Bay race track, shortly after
daylight yesterday.
A small but very select party, who
had been Willing away the time at
cards, were interrupted by the frantic
yelling of cur, which soon appeared
on the scene frothing at the mouth.
Byron McCIelIand had been reading
the day before of the Pasteur treatment
of fighting hydrophobia. and it was but
the work of moment to appreciate the
importance of speedily getting out of
the reach of the aggressive canine.
Quick as flash Byron made lofty
sOmersault into an elevated hay rack.
Ed Hefner bolted into the nearest man
ger, although Phil Dwyer laconically
rem arked that the dog was not in the
manger on this occasion. Jimmy Nc
Cormick received strong tip to mount
an adjoining harness closet, and AL
Lakeland had to stretch his neck to
reach for the mnst convenient place Of
safety.
Doc Anderson shot up the hay-loft
like twO-year-old making his first
run, Wnlle Joe HIatt, george hODlnSOn
and John Joiner tumbled into the near
est feed-bin and remained there until
the excitement was over.
For short time the dog was master
of the situation. But soon a valiant
colored lad appeared upon the scene
with a stout stick and finished the ami
NAL.
Byron McClelland. upon learning
that the dog was dead, looked sadly
over in the direction of the ocean and
murmured: Another bark lost"

There is growl about st. Paul which
does not emanate from Minneapolis,
hence its novelty. 1t comes from a
young comedian named Phil McFar-
land, who has purchased Daniel Sully's
play, "The Corner Grocery" and is
starring in the part of Daddy Nolan.
Years ago he was member of the St.
Paul base ball team, and, while looking
through his trunk this summer pre-
paratOry to stalking the road" for the
season, he ran across photograph of
himself, bat in hand and clad in a St.
Paul uniform with ''St. Paul'' printed
across the breast. As a curiosity he
mailed it toa pretty little Irish girl of
his acquaintance to whom he pays at
tenton, and she proudly stuck the por-
trait on her mirror. A few days later
her mother,a very devout old Irish lady,
happened to enter the room and see it.
''Cordaylia" she called out as it meet
her eyes.
.'What is it, mother" asked the girl,
coming in.
"Who's ben maxim game of you, girl?
That amt st. Paul. Shure. ian' don't l

''Oh, no. mother; that isn't st. Pau" "

old lady, raising her hands in horror,

The political economist who demon
strates his theories by actual expert
ment ought to make the greatest prog
ress in his educational efforts. 1t is not
the most favorable time just now to in
culcate new theories to promote econ
omy in food elements. when Nature has
been so bountiful as in the West; but
good ideas on any subject are worth
preserving. With all the progress of
the age there has been very little made
in the artistic and sanitary phases of
the preparation of food elements. Then
here comes Mr. ATKINSON with his

that out of $1,000, 100000 spent in the
United States every year for meat. fish,
grain and vegetables, $1,000, 100000 is
Sest by vicious cooking. That is a
strong statement, making a loss
of one third, but his experiments
seem to warrant the ratio. If the

ADMITS THE THEEr.

Senator BILL CHANDLER, of New
Hampshire, is not a man who spreads
out well, as he is meager in volume,
both as man and statesman. He has
been in one of the cabinets little, and
is somewhat known in South Dakota.
There are few more unscrupulous parti-
sans, but his leadership in the New
Hampshire party is being disputed by
the man GALLINGER, elected in BLAIR s
place last winter. Since the election
CHANDLER has been puncturing the
new man, and the relations between
them, as they come together in the sem
ate next winter, would suggest enter
tanning Incidents if it were not remem-
bered that CHANDLER was the man
whose nose Senator BLACKBURN was
allowed to pull OH notable occasion
without any suggestion of reciproc-
lty. But both these New Hampshire
senators are engaged at present
in telling of some of the things
they know of each other. CHANDLER
has the advantage of owning newspa-
per, and In one of his recent articles he
mentions that GALLINGER charges him
with having bought his seat and being
under cloud, which might be believed
without much inquiry. His retort is
that Everybody knows that we stole
the legislature from the Democrats last
January, and that. if we hadn't, Dem
ocrat would have been elected" This
he says makes "honors about even" be-
tween the two. His word is not usually

facts warrant full credit. The legisla-
ture was stolen from the Democrats by
employing party tool to decide who
should have seats. When the Demo-
Gratis have control of the senate they

Captured in Mid.ocean.

NORFOLK, Va, Sept. 2O.-Sergeant
Cuthrill, of the police force, has re-
ceived a message from the sheriff of
Elizabeth county, in which he states
that Royster, the murderer of young
Fps, the telegraph operator at Suffolk,
a month ago, had been arrested. He
was captured upon a Brazilian steam
ship, and it is presumed he embarked
on the steamer shortly after the crime
was committed. His capture was af-
fected in mid-ocean by officers of an
ENGLISH cutter
