To Turn Hnrri.on Dow

President Harrison is not sleeping well
these ETHEREAL spring night, says the
Rockford Star. A month ago it was pre-
dicted that he would be nominated by ac>
clsmation. But now all is doubt and m
certainty. Hence this evidence of in

Ohio have Lot orly refused to instruct in
his favor, but Plstt, Quay and Foraker
head the delegations from these states, and
that means anything to beat the vain,
selfish, metallic man from Indiana. Tom

Charlie Fsrwell delights to state that
1.-THE president would be weak in illinois
as against Cleveland, Palmer or Boies -
He will have the delegates from the sill

without the electoral votes of those To-
cslities assured his canvass would be q
hopeless one from the start. 1t is well
to be remembered. however, that Plat,
Quay, Clsrkson, Foraker and Dudley are
mere place-hunting politicians, and this
plot to turn down Mr.. Harrison may be
q mere bluff and bid for spoils. Cullom
was rewarded for Withdrawing by having
the sub trer surysbip thrown to him as

see what the other strikers want and pla-

Gated at Columbus, and supplies num-
Der of the smaller hotels with goods.
At Columbus went to see a melo-
drama. 1t was called, "A Woman's
Vengeance, or The Guilty Crime"
1t was a thrilling piece. 1t supplies
eleven distinct thrills and three oppor-
tunities to go out and get an anodyne.
The heroine of the play may be OBJ
served in the center Of the stage at all
times. That is how You know she is the
star. She appears first as a lowly girl in
Bingham dress and diamond ring. In
this garb she is betrayed and ruthlessly
Jollled into bogus marriage with low,
coarse man, who laughs hoarsely, spurns
her from him, speaks coarsely through
his hat and goes away.
She then resolves to become an heiress.
Her father dies on the stage, losing his
life and his artificial whiskers at the
same time. His death leaves her
wealthy, as her father, though poor, has
invented machine for boring holes in
macaroni, thus reducing the cost of its
production over rs per cent, and so the
girl, with entirely new clothing and a
desire for revenge, goes abroad and ac-
quires the French language.
When she returns she goes to work
systematically to ruin the man who so
ruthlesslv iolted her affections and then
went elsewhere. She goes into the stock
market and by means of a cheap boy,
who knows how to buy in such way as
to make money and yet ruin her old
paramour, she has inside of a few
weeks shaken Wall street so that it has
to be replumbed throughout, and then
she gets the job of doing it herself.
Toward the close of the play she gets
ready for the denouement. If | ever
write another play shall by all means
have denouement. did not think of it
before, but it is certainly a good thing.
All along through the play she is get
ting ready and issuing invitations for
this denouement. 1t is very well attend
ed, indeed, and passes off pleasantly.
For the denouement she changes her
dress, appearing in scarlet plush cloak
which envelops her entirely. When she
gets ready to forbid the wedding of her
old and tough lover, who has made ar
engagements to marry stoop shouldered
heiress whose family extends back
among the Ptolemys, she throws this
cloak aside as boy would cast aside his
garments before going in swimming,
and stands before him dressed as she
was when he so basely wooed and then
deserted her.
l hate man who will do that and
then brag about it. A man who will
basely deceive a girl that way and then
laugh about it ought to be written up in
the papers, and | was glad to see that the
play turned out that way. always like
to see play like that 1t elevates me.
One man was killed in the play, but it
was not so sickening as some deaths are
ON the stage. Icould have made it more
sickening for twenty-five dollars.
1t is the only weak place in the play.

THE HIGHBINOERS.


A Horde of Mongolian BrigandS Here
for No Good Purpose.
The threatened upheaval among the
highbinders of street, both local and inn
ported, has not yet taken place, but the
better class of Cinnamon are expecting
trouble every moment.
Just what the purpose of the visit of the
San Francisco highbinders is, cannot be
satisfactorily determined. Some China
men say they are here to levy tribute OH
such Chinese as they may be able to in
timidate into paying them money, and
that they have joined forces with certain
local highbinders for that purpose.
The following note was brought to the
RECoRD-UNIoN office yesterday by gem
tlemanly-appearing Chinaman. It was
written in an excellent hand, but its
phraseology is little bit mixed and its
meaning somewhat obscure:
The highbenters desire try to destroy of the
Chinese freen1asons of the city.
However we must protest to the Chinese Con-
sui of Sanfrancisco and give us arrangement
to refuse them.
1t was learned from him that commit
tee had gone to San Francisco to see
Colonel Bee, but beyond that he did not
appear able to explain the situation. It
was evident from the Chinaman's man
ner, however, that he was badly scared.
Chief of Police Rodgers has given or
ders to his officers To keep an eye on the
highbinders, and the I-street merchants
who are not highbinders themselves have
employed several special officers to assist
in protecting them.
Yesterday the police disarmed and ar
rested two of the suspected toughs.

GETTING SCARED
The Male Migrants of Second and 7
Streets Taking the Hint.

The Male Migrants of Second and I
Streets Taking the Hint.
Yesterday group of genteel-lockine
opium fiends and loafers who have been
consorting with and living off courtesans
on Second and L streets, left this city for
San Francisco, evidently being afraid
that Chief of Police Rodgers intends to
rid the town of all their kind of cattle.
One dive on Second street, between i
and l., has closed since Friday night, and
several shameless women have removed
from Second TO l. street. That portion OF
Second street has already undergone a
change, most of the cribs being tenant
less.
Chief Rodgers said last night that he
intended to make that part of the city al
least halfway decent ii the enforcement
of the laws can do it. He will also give
attention to X street. between Second and
Fourth, where a number OF dives attract
the roughs.
Legitimate kinds of business have been
practically ruined on these blocks, as de-
cent people cannot get TO store or mar
ket-place without crowding their way
through groups Of dirty, drunken fellows
whose language is so foul that it would
disgrace Liverpool fish-market. Own
ers OF sEch property on these blocks as is
not occupied for dive purposes are ST last
becoming alarmed at the prospect OF
being crowded out by the horde of loafers
that now infest that locality.
Officer Ferral, who is on the Chinatown
beat states that all the lottery games
have closed, or are running only in back
rooms with barricaded doors. The dope
hends, he says, are keeping away from i
street, and several lett town yesterday.

THE FUG-OF- WAR.
1t Was Won in Short Order by the
Sacramentans.
The Italian Team of San francisco
Was Not In It-A Foul Claimed
by Them.

The Sacramento (American) tug-of-war
team went to Stockton on Saturday to
pull against the Italian team of San
Francisco, and won easily. The Inde-
pendent thus describes the contest:
"The American team first marched on
the floor, while the band played stirring
national air. The stalwart fellows were
hailed with cheers as they moved in
single-file TO their side of the floor. They
were on the western side of the pavilion.
The cleats on which the Italian team lay
were on the eastern side. When the
Italians marched on the band rendered a
national air of Italy, and the team was
given its need of applause by way of
welcome, The Italians marched past the
American team before taking their places,
and the disparity in size could then be
noted, the Sacramento men being the
heavier. They had come from the rail-
road shops and other places of industry
in Sacramento where muscles come with
hard work. The Italians were said to be
mostly fishermen.
1T did not take long to get ready. The
men spread rosin on their hands, rubbed
it on the thick rope and covered the
cleats and floor around them with it, so
That their hold might be the better. When
all were in readiness Chief of Police
robinson. who was referee, held I'D his
pistol, counted one, two, three and pulled
the trigger. There was no explosion, and
ne repeated the formula, with more sue
cess. The rope was released when the
pistol was fired, and Immediately the
American team pulled it to their side for
? the width of a cleat. Frank I. Wilder,
the Captain of the Americans, walked
along the row OF PROSTATE Italians and
slgnaled his men to pull by twiching his
coat with his right hand. Every time he
did so the American team pulled like one
man and the rope gave a bound TO their
side. The Italian team seemed to be in
need of a Captain, as they received no
such assisting advice.
"About two minutes had elapsed when
Mr. Wilder, who had signaled his team
10 rest, twitched his coat. The Sacra-
mento men pulled and the rope went
sliding to their side. Mr.. Wilder's fin
gers did not stop working. They went
faster and faster, unseen by the Italians,
and now that the rope was on the run ali
the Italians could do did not stay it's flight.
Two cleats which the anchor-man of the
Italian team pressed against for leverage
gave way and the tug-of-war was over
Chief Robinson's pistol sounded again
when the rope had passed the victory
mark and Con Harkins and the other
man who was acting with him as Judge
officially declared the Americans the
winners. There was a loud shout of an
probation. About two minutes and a
haif were consumed in this test of
strength.
1.-The Italians claimed a foul on account
OF the weak cheats, but the claim was ar
gued only for a moment. Their repre-
sentative had attended TO the putting
down of the cleats, and so they had no
reason to complain. The Italian team
