Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Hill are both in New
York but harmony in the Democratic ranks
is still an unknown quantity. if not more re-
mote than ever Mr.. Cleveland doesn't want
a third ticket run here, but his Anti Snapper
supporters virtually decided last night TO make
An out-and-out fight against Tammany. The
State Committee, which had been expected to
nominate Judge Peckham for Chief Judge OF
the Court of Appeals, failed to agree upon any
thing more definite than an adjournment for
n week. The present Democratic situation is
decidedly mixed and decidedly interesting.
There must needs be good deal of placating'

A Nine-year-old Hero.

In ward of one of the city hospitals
lies little boy who is slowly recovering
from surgical operation. He is only
nine years old. A wagon wheel rolled
over him about three weeks ago, and
then the surgeons amputated one little
leg. But the owner is brave chap and
patient, and his bravery has won for
him passport into the heart of every
attendant who has seen him. He has
been very greatly interested in the in
valid's shoe the good nurse has been
knitting for him out of bright worsted.
She finished the shoe last week, and he
asked to keep it by his pillow where he
could see it. He gazed at the bright bit
of footgear with infinite satisfaction.
and then asked:
"When are you going to make the
other one?'
"The other one, dear? What Other
oneP'
He glanced down at the one foot with.
out mate.
"Yes-I-know. L I-don't-need-bu
-just-only-one, do I?''
Then there came half smothered sob,
the brave little face turned toward the
wall and not even the nurse saw the
big round tear that rolled down to the
pillow. The sorrow of man had come
to the nine-year-old boy.-New York

Eyes that are sunken,
Ups that were never DER bold.
Only woman, forsaken and poor,
Asking for aims OF the bronze church door.

Faster and faster,

Fain would she enter, but not for the poor

Only a woman, wailing alone,
Iclly cold on an Ice cold stone.

Mumbling prayer for her

Under rich laces their naughty hearts beat,
Mocking the woes of their kin In the street
Only a womanl In the old days
Hope earoled to her the happiest lays,
Somebody missed her,
Somebody crowned her with praise,
Somebody faced out the battle Of life,
Strong for her sake who was mother and wife
Somebody lies with tress of her hair
Light on his heart where the death shadow.

Just Like Most Labor Laws,

Once again has the alien labor law
been demonstrated farce. No en-
ployer of labor need have the least fear
of conviction under the law providing he
uses the slightest Judgment in engaging
his help in foreign lands, In Tho case
tried In the United States circuit court
here yesterday it was distinctly shown
that an agent for the defendant had bar
gained for labor in Toronto, but simply
because the contracts were not signed
until after the mechanics had reached
Michigan the court took the case from
the jury and ordered verdict for the
defendant.
1t is not the least surprising therefore
that the ability of the federal authori-
ties to frame law that cannot be
evaded is frequently questioned. The
same law provides that no encourage
ment shall be offered to foreign labor to
seek employment in the United States
through advertisements printed in a
foreign paper, yet this is just what the
same defendant did and for which the
corporation Is now being tried second
time. The chances are however that
the case, like its predecessors, will be
thrown out on some technicality, de-
spite the direct convicting evidence

One of the most novel methods ever at
tempted of conducting a strike was that
inaugurated by the telegraphers In Spain.
All the details of the affair were excel
lently arranged long beforehand, so that
there should be no hitch. The govern
ment were taken completely by surprise.
Suddenly they found all communication
by wire stopped, though the telegraphic
system was apparently in good working
order. The operators did not leave their
posts, but when asked to send messages
they signaled as usual and informed the
officials that there was no response to
their calls for the distant offices. This
sort of passive resistance puzzled the Of
fcials.
The home secretary in Madrid and
the governors of the various provinces
entered the offices escorted by the gen
darmes, and ordered the operators to
establish communication in their pres
ence. The operators replied respectfully,
after calling the offices as commanded,
that they received no answer and there
fore could not send the messages offered.
1t seems that it was part of the plan
OF the men, arranged beforehand, that
no operator shoSld answer when his Of
flee was called for on the wires.
The first dispatches which the govern
ment was able to send to the provincial
governors We're put through by the
courtesy of the railway officials over the
wires generally devoted to train orders.
The railway operators were in sympathy
with the strikers and would not handle
the governments messages, but some
of the railway officials who are prac-
tcal telegraphers themselves manned
the wires and transmitted the messages
The operators struck because their
appeals for the redress of a number of
long standing grievances were disre-
garded. The immediate cause was the
appointment of postal officer of only
three years service to the office of di-
rector of the central Office in Madrid
over the heads of officers of thirty years
service.

A Monster gtructuro.

Ispcnta long time in wandering about
the Manufactures building. It Is the
biggest building ever planned, and IL
will have one roof covering thirty acres.
Senator Ingalls, came out and looked at
1t the other day, and as he gazed, as
founded at its immensity, he said: "It is
an exhalation! Yesterday it was not,
today 1t is and tomorrow 1t will have
passed away. I can see how you can
fence 1t In, but to roof it almost sur
passes human conception!" Think of
putting a massive glass and iron roof
over a thirty acre fieldl That Is what
the men are doing here today, and saw
them at work putting up the great iron
trusses which will support this roof.
You cannot conceive the size of this
structure without seeing it. Three hun
dred thousand people could be seated on
the floor and in the galleries and $4,000
could be seated on the floor alone. The
Coliseum at Rome, with all its galleries,
could only seat $1,000 people, and it was
never rooted except with canvas. You
could put four coliseums on that floor,
and two pyramids as big as Cheops
would sit upon 1t side by side and leave
room for the Capitol at Washington. If
the great pyramid was taken to pieces
and carried here its material could be
stored In this building and you could
look down upon its masses of stone from
the galleries.
This building is about third of
mile long. Thirty great staircases, so
wide that two carriages could be driven
up them side by side, will lead to wide
galleries and there will be street fifty
feet wide running through the center.
With Its galleries it will have forty
acres of floor space, and 1t tires one even
to think of its possible contents.-Chi-
cago Cor. Lancaster Examiner.

Electric Light on BattIefields,

The ubiquity of electricity is becoming
almost proverbial. From the brightest
spot ON earth" to the blood stained battle
fields is rather far cry, but there Is no
end to the application of electricity. A
recent telegram from Austria described
some experiments of great interest
which have recently been carried out
successfully there. The difficulty of
searching for the wounded on the night
after great battle has been one which
has long occupied the attention of mill
tary reformers, and the army medical
service in Austria has been endeavoring
to determine how far the electric light
may be utilized for this humane end.
The value of powerful search lights
with refectors has been proved in naval
affairs, and at Suakim and elsewhere
soldiers have found them very effective
on open ground. They would be equal
ly effective under similar conditions for
assisting in picking up the wounded,
but when the battle has ragged over q
wide extent of country, or when the
fighting has occurred amid woods and
brushwood, the use of this class of light
is attended with Electrical
Review.

A Bad Year for Railroad Building.

From the returns now received at this
Office, collected with unusual care and
thoroughness, we find that during the
six months from Jan. to July / there
have been laid In the United States
1866 miles of new main track on lis
lines in thirty-fve of the states and
territories. Last year at this time we
found that 1,728 miles of track had been
laid, so that it would appear that there
has thus far been falling off of over %
per cent. compared with the same
period of 1891. But review of the
work in progress throughout the coun.
try does not warrant the belief that the
falling off for the entire year will be in
any such proportion. Last year showed
the smallest aggregate of track laying,
4,200 miles, that has been reported in
this country since 1SS5.-Chicago Rail.

Counterfeit Elves Aflont.

Business men in East Baltimore are
agitated over counterfeit five dollar
notes. Nearly every day one or more
of these notes turn up at the bank count
ers. The notes are limitations of treas.
ury notes of the series of 1880. The pa
per is of a poor quality and lighter in
color than the genuine note. Especially
noticeable is the poor engraving. 1t
seems to be the work of an amateur or
of very nervous person. The picture
Of jackson looks like the impression of
a wood cut. But one feature is any
where near perfection, and that is the
signatures of Registrar Rosecrans and
Treasurer Huston. These are excel
lently counterfeited and would battle
any one but an expert. Bank officials
think a number of these counterfeits
have been put into circulation within
the past week or two in that section of
the city, and but few have yet gotten
