SHORT STOPS.
What the people are saying.

A practical citizen suggests that Capt.
| Mackey's gun be set at each voting poll
west of the San Pedro. The suggestion
| will become popular.
The return of Mayor Callaghan and re-
port of his success in placing the city
bonds is pleasant news to all our citizens.

1t goes TO show that our city stands
twice ahead; its people are known to be
responsible, and no matter how many
municipal mistakes are made. capitalists
figure on the solid foundation of our re-
sponSible citizenship.

Mayor Callaghan deserves some credit
for his efforts, even if the proceeds of the
sale of our bonds go TO feed many of his
hungry pensioners and hangers on.

The contemplated visit of the president

The reception, 10 be rendered by our citi-
zenS will be free from political Signiti-
canoe, so far as the white people are con-
cerned.
Mr. Harrison is of old Virginia stock
and fills all the requisites of ariStocratic
notions. At the same time he is peoples
| man all over.
Public men, Blaine, or Harrison, for in
stance. always post themselves in advance
of arriving at place where they may be
expected TO make speech.
Mr.. Harrison, no doubt. is posted about
San Antonio: he appointed one of our
resident citizens as Minister to Belgium.
He has heard of the Alamo: of the fact
that San Antonio was anti secession; and
called the abolition hole of Texas" is
largely republican ETC., and will have the
good taste not to say word that will
sound harsh to our democratic friends,
whether they represent the race who
| fought under Santa Anna, or the caucaS-
ian who fought with Travis and Crockett.
It's nice point, but Mr.. Harrison has a
happy faculty OF saying the right thing
| almost every time.
The fact that a thorough investigation
| of our citizen making process. and poll
| lists is going on with the intention of
| Indians, or natives OF Mexico, to United
States citizenship, presents no interna-
tiOnal question at present.
But, should Mexico follow the example
of Italy in demanding reparation for in
jureS or wrongs done her citizens. ii
would be found that our large border pop
| ulatiOn are all Mexican citizens. They
have elected American congressman, die
| tated who should preside over our courts
| of justice, run our municipal governments,
and yet, are now, and always have been
Mexican citizens.
The pure'Inadulterated democracy of
Dallas, deserves much sympathy; they
| made square fight and were beaten at
| the polls by the opposition.
They demand registration of voters
and better protection of the ballot box.
| 1t is a late day for democrats to repent of
| their suicidal action in repeating the re-
publican registration law. But better
| late than never.

a MIS-

A mistake is often made by persons in
need of medical treatment, in not placing
their case into the hands of a specialist,
as it stands to reason that a doctor max
ing a speciality of certain line of diseases
is more competent than the family phySi-
clan or general practitioner who tries to
cover the whole field of Medicine and
Surgery. DR.. J. n. HATHAWAY, of
this city, is true specialist in his line
A regular graduate from one of the best
colleges in America, as his diploma shows;
he also has had large experience in leads
ing hospitals and at Hot Springs, Ark.
therefore, if you seek his advice you are
sure of getting the BEST.

LoNDog, Aug. l3.-The work entitled
SIN Darkest Russia has met with a
good sale and TODAY the second edition
was issued. The book ID devoted to an
expose OF the wrongs from which the
Jews in Russia suffer. and the second edi,
ton gives long lists Of fresh prosecutions
to which the Hebrews in that country
have been subjected. A letter from a
Jew to the ministeriu London is published
in the book. The writer says the most
serious matter of all is the general out
lawry in which the Jews are held. Every
petty Russian official assumes the right to
treat them as he thinks fit. As an illus
tration OF this misuse OF power he instances
the fact that the police of Libau recently
issued an order prohibiting the Jews from
bathing in the sea in sumUer
A letter received from a gentleman IN
Charlottenbnrg, Germany, describing the
condition of the Jews who are fleeing
from Russia, says the refugees who have
not sufficient money to pay the full price
for tickets to America have received ticket:
from the Jewish emigration committee at
less than cost.

who owns the Most LAGER

The man who has charge of the lace
department in n of the principal retail
houses over oil State street has been roll
ing in lace, metaphorically, until he has
at the end of his fingers and on the tip OF
his tongue every fact in connection with
that delicate fabric. For instance, he
says, what every women wants to know
first, of course, that a woman living in
the city of Mexico has the most valuable
collection of lace in the country, the
same being $500, 900. The women folks
of the Vanderbilt family consider theirs
worth $500 900.
The latter collection contains a r laces
from Belgium, Germany and Austria.
The former, of rare bits from every cele-
brated maker and of fragments once
owned by every royal family in Europe.
The Aston family estimate their laces to
be worth $500, 000. Mrs. At. Stewart
estimated hers at 5000, 900. Mrs. Vice
President Morton considers hers worth
800, 000. Mrs. August Belmont, Mrs.
Marshall o. Roberts and Mrs. ex-Secre-
tary Whitney have costly and a col
lections in lace. In Chicago there are nc
very large collections, but many are very
rare.-Chicago Tribune.

WASHINGTON, Aus. 10 Inquiry atthe
treasury department develops the fact that
Secretary Fosters plan for continuing the
AZ per cent bonds at 9 per cent has SO far
failed to meet with the favor anticipated
by its advocates. Up to date $lS, 500, 900
have been continued, but others aggre
eating $23 .O00, 900 must be presented on
or before Sept. 2 or the secretary must be
prepared TO redeem them on presentation
or make terms with the holders for an
extension Of time at the present rate OF
interest-43 per cent. The available cash
balance today, outside of fractional silver
and deposits in national banks, is sI3,-
500, 600. and it is gradually increasing.
While there Is no question of the gov
ernment's ability to redeem the bonds, it
is well known that it would prefer TO con-
tinue them. There is no doubt that the
$4,000, 900 held BY banks will be contin-
ued. The uncertainty Is in regard to the
si5, 900, 900 in the habds of individuals.

BoId Rut Unsuccesstut-

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. IL R. w.
Frayser, president of the Security and
Memphis City banks, secretary of the
Memphis City railway, principal owner
of the Public Ledger. and one of the most
prominent and wealthy citizens OF Mem
phis, was this afternoon chloroformed and
robbed at the Dayoso hotel by a man
asserting that he is John A. Morris of
New Orleans. Morris engaged a room IN
the hotel, sent tor Frayser, who went to
the hotel, aud after a talk regarding a
matter on which Morris asked informa-
ton, the latter asked the other to take a
drink. Fray ser declined. Morris pulled
two revolvers, saying: II am a desperate
man; no money; family in New Orleans,
destitute; must have cash; you en-
dorse a check for IS. 600" Frayser
argued the matter The parties finally
compromised by Frayser endorsing a check
for $500. Hoping the cashier at the
bank would suspect something wrong and
refuse to cash it, he endorsed it p. ID.
Frayser. He usually endorses checks
p. Dudley Frayser." Moore then
chlorofOrmed Frayser and sent a bell boy
to the bank for the money. This evening
cries OF Murder, thieves" were heard
issuing from the room. The door was
burst Open and Frayser found un conscious,
his watch, $50 and Morris being gone.
The check was on the table. payment at
the bank having been refused. Morris

sion OF the International Convention of
the Y. NJ. G. A. papers we're read in

Swiss work of the association. VIM. b.
Murray of Plainville. N. j., prepared a
paper on the American association, which
was read. 1t showed the associations to
be prosperous, rapidly growing in num-
bers, membership and property. and that
much attention was being given to the So
cial, mental aud physical development of
young men, but that the greatest atten-
ton was being given to their religious de-
velopment. Mr.. Murray reported 9S7
Bible classes and 2.456 weekly religious
services in America. At the afternoon
session the Y. NJ. c. A. and its attitude
regarding the social question was dis
cussed. This evening the discussion was
on the subject of the Y. NJ. C. A. in Ro-
man Catholic countries; how to counter
act difficulties and prevent their develop.
ment. Papers on this subject were read
by delegates from Paris aud Rome.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 13.-Today' session
of the Farmers Alliance was taken up
with routine work and two addresses
by President Polk. who, among other
things, said: For twenty, five years l
have been in public life. | never found
myself fighting In the front rank of Gods
noblemen till | struck the Farmers AL
lance. Let us stand by our principles till
the last man falls in the fight and then
volunteers will come up and take their
places. Men, citizens, farmers, stand to-
gether for every principle of our organi-
zation and a glorious triumph awaits us.
They told us there were divisions in the
ranks at Ocala. They who proclaimed
divisions did not know us. There are no
divisions. We do not know what they
are, thank God; and N that spirit we will
proclaim and fight for the triumph of our
principles"
All the old officers we're reelected ex-

Rot Sick, but Needs Rest.

MINNEAPOLIS. Aug. I3. Loren
Fletcher, one of the Republican leaders
Of this state and the leading candidate for
the Republican nomination for congress
in this district, returned this morning
from Bar Harbor. where he had a longtalk
with Blaine. He said Blaine would live
to serve his country many years yet. He
was not i'll, but simply needed rest. The
Minnesotan told him that two topics only
we're now discussed in the Northwest
the big wheat crop and Blaine's health.
He assured the secretary that Blaine
and reciprocity would sweep this part of
the country. The only answer Blaine
made was a smile and a deprecatory gest-
ure. Yet Fletcher has the impression
Blaze will run if asked with sufficient
unanimItv.
"DId he impress you as a man on the
verge of the grave?" was asked.
Yes" replied Fletcher, but the
grave was that of the ncxt Democratic

Chicago Lumber Firm FAILS.

CHICAGO, Aug. lathe st. John,
Marsh company, lumber dealers, made a
voluntary assignment today to Morton B.
Hull. The company was organized six
years ago, and did business in Kansas
and Colorado. The face value of their
assets is 1858, 900. They will certainly
realize $500 DOC. Liabilities, $l46, 900.
The failure is due to the ~stringency of the
money market and the fact that the re-
cent failures of the Peters Lumber com
pany and the Howell company have made
1t difficult for lumber men to get accom-
modations at the banks. The attorney
for the firm asserts hat it will pay dollar
for dollar If given time.

here in Oakland. When he says that he

Selling sI.IO wheat for ooc.

CHICAGO. Aug. 13 "A dispatch from
Duluth, Mimi, says that IN the past three
months there has been one lot of a million
and a half bushels OF wheat sent East via
Duluth by Minneapolis parties, and the
shipment and consignment of half a mill
lion bushels that will pass through here has
caused a good deal of speculation. The
Herald says it is being sent out of the
country by Pillsbury; and hat every
bushel represents to the big English syn
dictate running the Minneapolis mills a
loss of twenty cents. Last fall Pi!lsbury
was a persistent bull and loaded up with
grain at prices from sI.IO to $l,l9 a
bushel. A good part of the year he has
carried as high as $4,000 900 bushels. A
short time ago the Minneapolis syndicate
found itself with enough wheat to make
1000. 600 barrels OF -four right on the eve
of the biggest wheat crop the United
States has ever seen. and worth about
ninety cents a b,shel. Some of this
wheat has had to be gotten out of the
way. hence this shipment of 1000, 900
bushels.
MINNEAPoLIs, Aug. l3.-Mr. Pills
bury was seen tonight regarding the Du-
luth special stating that a large amount
of grain bad been shipped through that
point from Minneapolis to the East. at
is a malicious %falsehood," said he, "evi-
IDENTIFY promulgated by some one desiring
to do injury to my business He says
the figures are the grossest and widest
e~xaRgeration, both as to the cost and
AMOUNT Of wheat. He purchased what
wheat he required for milling on the mar
kets every week in the year at an average
cost below the present prices. The total
requirements of his mills are over Is, OOO,-
900 bushels per annun, if the mills are
run ~interruptedly and purchases have not
been In excess of this amount. All the
millers in Minneapolis did not purchase
the amount stated in the dispatch during
the past year, and little wheat has been
purchased at the price named. The great
bulk had been bought below 81 per
bushel; which is about the present value
of old wheat in Minneapolis.

LONG HOURS ON THE UP.

Takes a Hand in the Eight
Hour Fight in Nebraska.
Barred by Contract From De-
handing Short Time.

DENVER, Colo, Aug. 13.-District
assembly No. SO, Knights of Labor,
which took 10 all the employees on
the Union Pacific railway system, has
taken action regarding the Nebraska
eight hour law which is at present caus.
ing trouble IN Omaha and other cities.
The following telegram has been sent to
Omaha, Grand Island and North Platte
Section l5 of the agreement relates to
working time and is stil in force. 1t was
made prior to the eight hour law, which,
under the constitution, it cannot abrogate.
The law is thus imperative in the Union
Pacific shops because of the contract. In
honor we are bound to recognize the con.
tract, unfortunate as it appears. until il
can be modified by the parties to it. Good
faith as an organization should be cor,
sidered in assisting in this matter
