FALSE TEETH AXE COMMON.
Artificial Teeth Are So Cheap That No
body Need Be Tootllless

DOGy NccO De IOOtueSS,
"We sold 100000 more false teeth
last year than we ever disposed of be-

Enlistment In the world to reporter
yesterday. II don't imagine That it was
because people are losing their teeth
more rapidly now than heretofore, al
though it is unquestionablyt the case that
the enduring quality of the human chew
ing apparatus has become progressively
less frc,n generation to generation in
this country.
1T is more the fashion now than it
has ever been in Che past to wear false
teeth, partly for the reason that the pub
lie has come to realize what excellent
substitutes they are for real ones, and
partly owing 20 tho fact that toothless-
ness exc;tes much iaore disgust than it
did in old times. when such an affection
was commonly observed and was regard

nearly every case so to dental surgeon
and procure artificial olies. They don't
cost much. Euu can get a complete
double SGT from sixteen dollars to sew
enty-five dollars. Probably II fashion
able dentist will charge yoa the latter
price. His margin of profit is consider
able. in:Eaauch rs tie teeth themselves
cost only from f:fseen to eighteen cents
apiece. They are made Of porcelain. Of
kao!in usually. baked in IN oven.
For tile plates the material best ap-
proved is rubber. The handsomest
plates tire made az celluloid, and they
have the advantage Of lightness il
weight, but the celluloi,l does not resist
we'll the acids with which it comes into
contact in tho north. Aluminium has
been tried, brt it is affected BY vinegar
and saltfas well rs by other substances
that are eaten. the result being the de-
velopment Of salt of aluminium which
is thought to be injurious to the system.
1.-THE enamel OF artificial teeth Is
composed Of metallic oxides, and the
finishing processes to which they are
subjected are SO delicate that no two
teeth produced can be made exactly
alike in point CT coloring. Among all
the hundreds of thousands of teeth
which we keep in stock probably no two
would match to absolute perfection. But
those that are most nearly alike are mt
together so that Tie eye of nobody but
an expert would detect any difference.
After all natural teeth exhibit marked
dissinlilaritics i'll any individual.
1T does not do to make false teeth
look too handsome, lest they appear un-
natural and dental surgeons commonly
carry their imitation of nature so far as
to make teeth i'll many instances look
more or less defective, the better to
carry out the deception. Washington

NEW JERSEY BOODLERS.
HOW THE READING COMBINE WAS
LEGALIZED.
Three Million Dollars Spent in Buying the
Votes of Legislators-A Bribe of $685.
900 Refused by One of the Senators.
Startling Disclosures of Fraud.

/ New York, March 20.-Last Friday
the Herald charged the use OF corrup-
ton fund of at least $3.OOO,0OO. raised
by interested capitalists and stock job
bers to bring about the passage of the
bill legalizing the Reading railroad COM
bine in New Jersey. Today the Herald
returns to the subject and states that
more than half OF the hideous secret has
been laid bare. ''There was bribery"
it adds, and enormous bribery at that.
Proof Of it is furnished on the word OF
State Senator Maurice Alexander Rog-
ers of Camden county, whose word will
be taeceptssh .uaaqusstieaably from one
end of the state to the other."
Senator Rogers of New Jersey. in an
interview at Camden, is quoted as say
ing that at 10 80 a. m. OF the day the
bill PASSED he was offered and refused
$4,000 for his vote for the bill. The
agent returned and offered more than
$25, 900, though Rogers does not state
the exact figures.
Senator Rogers was asked to expose
the man who tried to bribe him. He
piled: "People may blame me for with
holding the name, but I would be caus-
ing greater pain to my feelings if 1 told
it than any public praise could assuage.
I sat there in the senate and saw
the bill pass, knowing that many votes
were bought. I suspected bribery be-
fore, but then l knew it. was almost
stunned and did not know what to do.
The bill came up and Senator Gardner
in speech showed clearly that it was a
most outrageous piece of legislation,
forcing on the people monopoly OF a
necessary of life, and providing for the
arbitrary confscation of the stock of
shareholders who objected. Not word
was said on the other side. They
simply voted it through and that was
the end of it, A

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
A Bill to Exclude Political Influence In
Employing LabOrers.

A Bill to Exclude Political Influence In
Employing Laborers.
WASHINGTON, March 20.-Representa-
tive Andrews, of Boston, has completed
a report upon his bill "to exclude politi-
cal influence in the employment of la
borers under the authority of the United
Ststes," and will submit it to the house
tomorrow. The bill will affect some
81 900 employees and will require that
henceforth they shall be appointed or
employed without regard to political
considerations. The system contem-
plated by the bill will not require cer-
tifications through the civil service COM
mission. The only purpose OF the legis-
lation, Andrews points out, is to
compel the appointment OF properly
qualified men, in the order of their ap-
plication, without delays by cumber-
some machinery. Andrews says of 49,
760 employees in the executive depart
ment, only 1925 are subject to compet-
tive examination. The bill proposes
wide extension and simplifcation of the
non-partisan system at much less cost
than heretofore. 1t is not proposed to
require competitive examination for the
scholastic tests of laborers. The rules
according to which they are to be en-
ployed are left to the decision of the
civil service commission, but it is in
tended that the rules simply provide
for the physical fitness and good char
acter of the applicant. No more labor
shall be required on the part OF the ap-
pointing officers than at present. When
the exigencies of the case necessitate it
employment may be given without the
system of registration.

QUAY RISKED HIS LIFE.
A PHILADELPHIA PAPERS HIS.
TORY OF THE CAMPAIGN OF 'ss.
The Boss Political Lie of the Season.
Senator Quay Said to Have Thwarted
Ballot Frauds in New York City at the
Peril of His Physical Existence.

PHILADELPHIA, March 2O.-A morning
paper prints the history of the political
campaign Of 1888, and Senator Quay's
alleged thwarting of ballot frauds in
New York city at the risk of his life.
Quay, it is said, canvassed the lower
wards OF New York, mapped and ten
sured them, and when, in October, the
Democrats learned of his actions, the
story affirms, Mr.. Quay's life was
threatened, and his friends becoming
alarmed, officers were kept constantly
watching for his welfare, day and night.
By the aid of Police Commissioner
French, Quay, it is said, got early cleo
ton returns and blocked the alleged pur-
pose of the Democrats to change the
figures in New York and Brooklyn, if
the occasion should seem to require.
The story contains these assertions !:
Chairman Quay had not been long in
harness before he discovered that Blaine
had carried the state in 1884. The Dem
ocratic managers knew this early in the
evening, and changed the ballots neces-
sary to elect Cleveland. Ben Butler
was running that year on the third
ticket and polled several thousand labor
votes in New York city. 1t was
the easiest thing in the world for the
ballot thieves to turn the Butler ballots
over to Cleveland; this was actually
done. Quay unearthed the fact before
he had been long in command, and the
discovery received the Endorsement of
General Butler himself.
"Three days before the election the
sum of $2l5, 200 was handed over to the
Democratic workers in the state above
the Harlem river. This was entirely
separate from the amount used by Tam
many in the city"

PERTH. Australia, March 20.-Deem-
ing was again before the magistrate to-
day. The court house was packed. The
prisoner, who persists in calling him
self Swanston, entered the dock with a
jaunty air, but became nervous and
fidgety during the reading of the
charges. After the giving of formal evil
dence in regard to his arrest he was re-
manded.
Deeming's luggage has been exam
ined. Among the articles found were a
card certifying to the membership OF
Emily Mather in the Rainhill Band of
Hope; timetable of trains between
Rainhill and Liverpool; an autograph
album belonging to Emily Mather; a
book of addresses of persons in Eng
land pocket-book bearing the mono
gram "B. F. d." Masonic
apron; similarly lettered silver card
case and prayer-book containing the
name Emily" Among the addresses
noted are "McDonald, New York,
Birkenhead"; Marshall, New York."
and others of persons in Hull, Liverpool
and Hartlepool, proving the identity of
Williams, Deeming, Lawson, etc.
1t is learned that Deeming, who de-
clared that his name was Swanston, has
confessed to the police that he IS the
same man who lived in Windsor, a
suburb of Melbourne, under the name
of Williams. Evidence is daily accumu-
lating showing that the past life of
Deeming was one of constant fraud and
robbery, carried on under the pretense
of wealth and bonhomie.
LIVERPOOL, March 2O.-Thousands
visited Rainhill today. Several acci-
dents occurred and several fights as
we'll. The vicar of Rainhill alluded to
Deeming's crimes in his sermons today.
Various persons have acquainted the
police with instances where robbery
was suffered at the hands of Williams.
A telegram from Cape Town, South
Africa, states that Deeming became
notorious in Johannesburg in, 1889 in
connection with extensive
swindling, and come mysterious murders
occurred there about that time. II.

CHICAGO, March 2O.-A committee of

club of Omaha arrived today to make
arrangements for the quartering of one
thousand enthusiastic Democrats at the
mittee are for Hill; the rest for Cleve-
land, with Boies as second choice. Z.
Nebraska will send an instructed
chairman of the committee. sour club
and the Democracy of the whole state
are divided on the presidential question.
We shall, however, stand by the nom
inee. whoever he may be, and with
some possibility of obtaining few
electoral votes. There was some
talk of doing this and gaining
the state election by Michiganizing the
state, but Governor Boyd has refused to
call special session of the legislature.
We shall, therefore, bring about a
fusion between the Farmers Alliance
and the Democrats. The Farmers
Alliance will unquestionably carry the
state, and il they nominate Van Wyck
for governor he will be our next United
States senator beyond question. The
Republicans are no longer in it so far as
Nebraska is concerned"
In regard to the filing of papers for re-
opening the governorship question Mr..
Sternsdorff said: "Thayer has gone
crazy that's the only explanation can
find for his actions. Even if the dis
graceful and ridiculous contest were
allowed to 60 on, it could not end until
the term OF Office expired, and Boyd's 8
official acts would be declared legal"

SMALL BUT EFFICIENT.

Means OF Defense.
WASHINGTON, March 20.-General Nell
son Miles, in an interview, speaking of
the army and navy and national guard i,
said: "In proportion to our wealth and
population the army is reduced to the
extreme minimum. 1t is small but
most efficient. In intelligence, courage
and patriotism it will compare favorably
with any in the world. The same NAV
be said of the national guard. Yet in
order to have them properly equipped
and prepared, two things must be done ;
either the press of the country must tell
the plain truth and educate the public
mind up to our real condition and ne
cessities, or we must meet some
disaster that may check our
progress and burden us with
a national debt that would last for
another generation. Too much is ex-
pected of our navy. 1t is ludicrous to
think of holding the navy responsible
for 1000 miles OF frontier. Fortifications
will some day receive from the Ameri-
can people the consideration such de-
lenses deserve. The necessity for some
mobilization of the regular army and
national guard must be apparent to
every thinking man. The object of the
national encampment to be held in
August, 1893, will be to promote the
efficiency of the national guard; to give
the officers experience in the handling
OF large bodies of troops, and to promote
fraternal feeling between the state
troops from all parts of the country"

The Guenzburg Failure,

PARIS, March 2O.-It is now certain
that the liabilities of Guenzburg's q
branch bank here are not large. 1t is
learned that the bourse interests of the
suspended Banque Generate Chemin
de Fer ct Industrie amounted
to nothing. Its nominal capital
was only six and quarter mill
ion francs, and its clients invest
ments were on the smallest scale. Its
directors we're men OF no financial mark.
1t appears that Ducouran, the president
of the bank, who committed suicide,
was an honest man, but was victimized
by his colleagues in the directorate, sew

Traver Rabbit Drives,

TRAvER, Cal, March 2O.-The fifth
rabbit drive of the season took place
this afternoon south of town. The
weather was cold and disagreeable and
the rabbits kept we'll to their holes in the
ground. Nevertheless some fifteen hun.
dred were killed. A large crowd was
present from Visalia and the neighbor-
ing cities. A grand barbecue and drive
will take place here April Sth, each
wing of the corral is to be made two
miles in length. The weather per-
mitting, it will doubtless be the largest
drive ever held in the state.
