they had enough material for one days

long the interest. 1t will do no good for
Mr.. Gould or his sweetheart to protest.
The papers have turned the electric light
OF them. and the best thinG they can do is
to smile as cheerfully as they can while
the journalistic cameras take snap shots.
Neither of them would wish to appear with

HENRY M. ~STANLEY's first attempt at
"st~ump"-spesking before an English audi
ence presented some features that could
not have occurred in this country. Tho
audience, collected in . rough part of
North Lambeth and consisting mainly of
cosrermongers, was not only disorderly but
insulting. They jeered the speaker and
flung insulting and filthy epIthets at him.
This IL very English. Another peculiar
feature was the presence on the platform
of Mr.. Stanley's wife. Accounts differ as
to what she said. but they agree that she
sprang to her feet and made some Passion
ate remarks in defense of her husband.
Her words were followed by a burst of
laughter with cries of SHAME" and then
some rough compliments for the lady. The
police elected four men and c~onstables
were stationed around the hall. When
order was partly restored Mr.. Stanley re-
sumed MS address. Despite further inter
ruptions, he said. apparently, all he had
come to say. The vote Of confidence was
barely carried and the meeting closed In
an uproar.
THE Louisville Commercial tells q story
which. If true, may account, Elm part. for
the rupture between Grover Cleveland and
editor Wattersop. The Commercial says q
prominent attorney of that city vouches
for the truth of the story, which Is as fol-
lows:
During Cleveland's term wattereon and he
became great friends. WattersOn was also well
liked by Mrs. Cleveland. and often took her I'D
the theater. One night they occupied seats in
the box when Nat Goodwin was playing. Wat
terson. you know, Ia a great friend of the come
dian. and their GLORIOUS times together have
been talked about considerably. 60, on this oc-
casion, Watterson insisted on presenting Good
win TO the Presidents wife. and after the play
rushed behind tie scenes and dragged the COM
elian into the box and introduced him 10 Mrs.
Cleveland. She was. of course, polite TO Good
win. but told her husband or 1t. This was too
much for him. and he told Watters0n In plain
terms what lie thought OF his action.
THE contractors who built the wigwam
ar Chicago, in which tho Democratic con-
vention was held, were under bond to re-
move IL, and have already commenced
tearing 1t down. One of them said on Sat-
urday there have been thousands of peo-
pie here to-day, who all wanted to get o
chip or a nail from the speakers stand.
For q fact, some of these relic-seekers had
the nerve to bring saws with them, and
would have sawed out whole planks and
carted them away" This Is akin TO the
feeling that makes people desire q piece of
the gallows on which an execution has
taken place.
