The ProhibitiOnists.

CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-Miss Frances E. Will
lard, president of the National Woman's
Christian Temperance union, who returned
tonight from the st. Louis conference,
said the Prohibitionists will have national
convention in ST. Louis, June 90, and that
the convention will adopt platform sound
on economic principles; treating of the gov
eminent ownership of highways and.the
means of communication monetary reform;
ownership of land prohibition and woman
suffrage. Candidates will be chosen for
President and Vice President, and we will
have the spectacle presented Of two tickets
IN the field among the divided reform
forces who seek the peoples good. The
Prohibitionists would have been glad to
meet the Peoples party half way. If the
woman suffrage and prohibition planks had
been placed in the st. Louis platform, the
next step would have been joint meeting
of the national committees of both parties,
in which they would have united on plat
form for the campaign. The movement
for party union had its inception in a con-
versation she had with General Weaver
last fall. She is not yet without hope such
union may still take place in time for the
| campaign.

ESPECIAL 10 THE Observation-Disclosures Dispatch
NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-People are telling
stories Up town about jay Gould and the
absent-mindeG facility with which he signs
his name and writes figures standing for
largo amounts from mere force of habit. A
few days ago, so it is related, Cornelius
Vanderbilt was in Washington, and was
invited by John Chamberlain to subscribe
for some Of the funds being fioated in the
interest Of his big hotel TO be opened May
] at Old Point Comfort, MIR. Vanderbilt
readily consented, and wrote Sc, 900 in a
blank space on the list. Soon after this
Mir. Gould dropped into Chamberlain's
place and was likewise politely requested
10 subscribe To show his good will the
money monarch affixed his signature and
penned some figures opposite. After Gould
had gone MIR. Chamberlain was electrified
when he looked at the amount OF the last
subscription. There it was as plain as
daylight-a figure five and six ciphers-
So. Coo. GEO. AS the total amount of the fund
was only Sl,000,000, Mr. Chamberlain ar
rived at the conclusion that the magnate,s
pen had slipped into making three extra
ciphers. The subscription was shown to
MIR. Vanderbilt. and he said the evident
mistake ought to be rectitied right away.
MIR. Gould was hunted up and was quite
ready to reduce the amount Of his sub
scription by Just 81 995, 600.
