''chief," but he wouldn't need to open
his eyes very wide to see his present
vantage ground.
CONyALEsCING FROM HOLMANISM.
1t is matter for the consideration OF
the curious that, in spite of the sancti-
monious talk of the Democratic House
majority about its duty to the country
in the outstanding of the country's cash,
the first regular appropriation bill re-
ported at this session shows remarkable
increase, instead of reduction, in the
proposed expenditures for the coming
fiscal year. This bill provides for the
support of the Military Academy at
West Point, and was reported to the
House by Gen. Wheeler of Alabama
from the committee ON military affairs
1t carries total of $4S6,000, which ex-
ceeds the amount of the last bill by
$Si, 900, making an increase of 90 per
cent.
If the bill passes in its present form, it
will surpass in amount the appropria-
ton of any previous year for the service
of the military academy, except that
passed by the second session of the fif-
tieth Congress, which reached 5000, 1866
This sum, however, was intended to
provide for the erection of number of
needed buildings. No such necessary
outlay is now in question, but the COM
mittee has added fifteen new offices,
with fifteen new salaries attached TO
them, at an annual expense of nearly
s., 900.
This little BILL therefore, the advance
guard of all the appropriation bills, may
be taken as symptom that the House
is convalescing rapidly from its first
sharp attack of Holmanism,
Mr.. BAKERS bill to regulate the busi-
ness of private detectives in this State
bears at first view the appearance Of a
carefully considered measure to do away
with some of the worst abuses which
have grown up in the conduct, especial
ly. of divorce cases. The services of
the police and police detectives are suf-
ficient for the detection of most forms
of offenses against society. If there is
any occasion at all for the services of
private detectives they should at least
be under some form OF public control.

Her Condition So Grave That the PresI-
 dent Abandon, His Trip.
 LOON LAKE HOUSE, N. Y., Sept. l3.-An unexpected complication has added itself to Mrs. Harrison's illness, and her condition now is so grave that it will prevent the president from being absent from the sick room. In consequence the trip through northern and central New York which the president had anticipated making has been gwen up. Chairman Hackett, of the Re- publican state committee, was apprised of the facts by telegraph from Loon Lake.
 Much solicitude has been expressed at the sudden turn in Mrs. Harrison's condition. There is no business being transacted by Mir. Harrison. Mrs. Grant was a guest at the cottage for a brief while. A special train was sent from Loon Lake to Saranac Lake for Dr. Trudeau, of the sanitarium.
 A team was got in shape hurriedly and the doctor brought from the Ampersand hotel, wher, he is stopping. As he was stepping on the train a reporter for the United Press asked him regarding Mrs. Harrison's health, but the doctor refused to talk. Dr. Gardner, Mrs. Harrison's phy- sician, is also at Loon Lake.

Cold Water Killed Him.

In a small house of the Rue Ste. Mar guerite, Paris, there has lived for a long time past crippled old beggar known in the quarter as The Terrible Savoy ard" One morning recently he left his lodgings as usual to offer pencils to the charitably inclined, and when he ar rived at the wineshop of the Rue Bas- froy, where he was known, he began to tease the housemaid, Clemence Pruvost The girl, not relishing his attentions, re- torted, "If you had watered your wine this morning you would be less trouble some," and threw glass of water in his face. The old man sprang forward with an insult on his lips, but suddenly stag gered back and fell down dead. The doctor summoned in haste to the spot declared the cause of death to have been conjestion of the brain, produced by the unexpected cold sspersion. .--Pall Mall Gaxstts.

Clark 933, scattering 572. Republican plu- rality this year, 4,S20, against 7,555 in 1890. In Augusta, Cleaves received 1,O69, and Johnson 800, against Burleigh S3l and Thompson 323 in 1S90
 The following dispatch explains itself: To Hon. Thomas H. Carter, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, 6lS Fifth avenue, New York:
 The total vote will be 12, 900 less than in 1888 We elect all four congressman, carry fourteen of the sixteen counties have two-thirds of the members of the legislature and elect our gov ernor by HOO over the Democratic candidate
 J. Fl. MANLEY. The Democrats have not been organized before since 1882, when the Republican plu- rality was less than 5000. The greatest Democratic gain so far has been in the city of Augusta, where the Republican plu- rality of 2,570 in 1888 was reduced to l, l,792; Lewiston also showed a Democratic plu- rality of 25o, gain of 27s. The smaller towns heard from indicate that the Demo cratic gain in the cities is offset in the country districts.
 Freeport showed 122 majority, gain of b5 Republican votes, and eleven towns in Waldo county, the home of Congressman Milliken, show 211 Republican gain for both state and congressional tickets.
 Late advices to Chairman Manley indi- cated that ex-Speaker Reeds majority over Ingraham will be 2,000.

Another New Bicycle.

A chainless safety bicycle is the latest production in cycle manufacture. On the new wheel the power is transmitted from the pedal crank to the rear wheel by beveled gear, and one of the chief merits of the device is its simplicity Apart from the method of transmitting power this bicycle will differ little in general outline from the wheels of this years pattern. Attached to the driving shaft is beveled gear, made stationary exactly in the center of the wheel. which is mashed into a second beveled gear, which connects with shaft run ming to the rear wheel. By similar gear the power is transmitted to the rear wheel, the beveled gear being at- tached to the rear axle.
 The shaft will be made of steel tubing incased in metallic tube. The gear ing at each end of the shaft will also be incased in a metallic cap, making the bearings of the wheel absolutely dust proof. The wheel will have ball bear ings throughout and will be fitted with a pneumatic tire. This doing away with the chain makes the wheel con- siderably lighter and reduces the cost of n1anufacture.-New York Telegram.
