GRAY'S WITHDRAWAL.
Whitney Says the Fact Shall Be
RECOGNIZED.

CHICAGO, June 20.-William G. Whit
ney was asked today whether it was
true that Indiana had withdrawn Gray.
Mr.. Whitney replied that he under
stood that Senator VOORHEES, had adj
vised Gov. Gray not 30 permit his name
to 60 before the convention for the
presidency, and while Gov. Gray had
not been heard from in reply to the
senator's telegram, he was satisfied that
the name would not be presented.
He was asked whether any pledge
had been made by Cleveland's friends
to the Gray men and he said that none
ha d been made, although the logic of
the situation would naturally bring
the vice presidency to Indiana. Mr..
Whitney was understood to say that
Indiana proposed to give her full thirty
votes to Cleveland, and that under the
circumstances, the fact should be rec
Ognized.
The German matter was taken up,
and one of the gentlemen present said
he had assurances that German was not
a candidate from the senator himself.
ut Is even said that German is willing
to nominate Cleveland. or to second his
nomination. | understand that Senator
German has said this to one OF the men,
bers of the Nebraska delegation, in
which he certainly can have three or
four votes; and am told he has advised
his Nebraska friends not to vote for
him."
"What did he say to you?" the inform
ant was asked.
Nothing further than that the talk
about his candidacy was something
with which he had nothing to do, and
that when the time came for him to
prove his loyalty to Grover Cleveland,
he would not be found wanting"

loans comes high. As nine-tenths of
these pledges are redeemed the same
night or within a few days, the profits
are large.
"a man came In here about II O'Clock
few nights ago and put a diamond
ring on the counter. l looked at the
stone aud found il one OF the most per
feet in cut and color ever saw. The
man asked $1,000 ON the stone, and as
| estimated the diamond to be worth at
least ten times as much | asked the
mans name and got the ticket ready.
He proved to be an Australian circus
man, and he had in his shirt front
stud with stone the perfect
match of that in the ring. l offered to
let him have $1,000 on his pledge, but he
would not take it, and said he would be
back for the ring within an hour or so.
He was playing faro in house not far
from here, and, sure enough, inside OF
an hour he came back, and redeemed
his diamond ring. Now, you see,
loaned that man 81 900 for about ali hour
at the rate of 2 per cent, the regular
legal scale, and | took in just $40 profit.
There are cases OF this kind turning up
every week; and then we have many
pledgers of a smaller grade, but VINO
nearly all pay full months in
teresU on a few days or weeks
loan. Actors, actresses, big sports and
men-about town have been glad to find
us open at night TO receive their valua-
bles." Often, it is said, when the
money lender has closed his shop prop
er and gone up stairs to his fireside TO
await calls he will. in response to Gus
toner in urgent need of a loan, pretend
he cannot open his shop again, as the
safes are all locked up for the night. or
his books are all put away. This is
done to induce the anxious one to offer
81 bonus or extra commission before the
article offered in pledge is accepted.

PAWNsHOPs OPEN ALL NIGHT.
Five of Them Doing Thriving
Business in New York City.

1t is a fact not universally known
that there are in this city. says the New
York World, number of loan agencies
that do not open before night has set in
and all the other shops in their line
have closed. They are confined to one
section of the city, and their custom is
of very profitable kind. There are at
present not more than five of these
might shops" as they are Familiarity
designated, and these are all i'll
cinct The heart is that part extend
ing from Twenty-third to Thirty
fourth street and bounded on the east
side by Fifth avenue and on the west
side by Seventh avenue. 1t is well
known that within this area of the ''ten-
derloin" precinct are nearly all the
gambling houses of note in the city,
and it is only after nightfall that their
visitors and regular frequenters begin
to congregate. 1t is this class, the reg
ular gamblers as much as the graveled
casual visitor, which patrOniZes the
night pawnshopS. The person who finds
himself in sudden need of funds may be
a man of wealth, whose signature would
make a check valuable for large
amount, but experience has taught that
it is not wise to use checks in these
cases. He excuses himself for a mo-

One of the most eminent of these
pawnbrokers, speaking of his business
recently, said: "Our mode of business
as carried on at night is exactly the
rates of interest and time for the eXpira-
ton of loans are concerned as that OF
the day shops. What started us keep

locality during the day there was really
no business of any kind being done. Of
course you know what class of places
have principally moDopolized this
part of the city. All the hotels, the
aters, swell restaurants, cafes and
gambling houses have fOurished here
and naturally good deal of the money
around town flows into these places.
Where the money is spent there must
be occasionally a shortness of funds.
Outside of an occasional sealskln Sac9ue,
camel's-hair shawl or Overcoat of
value, we seldom get bundle pledge
here. Most of our pledges are jewelry.
This is an advantage, because 1t saves
space. Where the pledge is of much
value we generally give all that is
asked. In this way the interest on such

SOME OLD SUGGESTIONS.
Queer Things in Which Lots of
People Still Place Credence.

People Still Place Credence.
In Michigan double cedar knot is
carried in the pocket to cure rheuma-
tism, aud a New Hampshire man car
ried a gall from the stems of the golden
rod for the same disease. A small
white grub is in the gall, and he thought
as long as the grub remained alive no
rheumatism could get hold of him.
Hickory nuts, the buckeye and its
cousin, the horse chestnut, are
other foes to rheumatism in
different localities. Some people
wear strange ring made of a potato
with hole bored through it for rheu-
matism, and others carry plain potato
in the pocket. The charm is more
potent, according to the Kansas City
Journal, if the potato has been stolen.
Almost anything seems to have rheu-
matism-fighting properties, for in
Southern Michigan q pebble serves to
ward it off. A New Hampshire cure
for sore throat is to wear about the
neck stocking, in the toe of which a
potato has been tied. According to a
Maine belief a nutmeg pierced and
hung on string around the neck pre-
vents bOils, Group and neuralgia. The
effect of Connecticut wooden nutmeg
is unknown.

INTERESTING QUESTION.
When Did Ladies Begin to Ride
Sideways on Horseback?

F. Lund in Rider and Driver.
In book entitled Remains Concern
ing Britain" published in 1914, it is
stated that Queen Anne, wife of Rich
ard IL, first taught English women to
ride on side-saddIes. when heretofore
they rode astride. As late as 1872 Queen
Mariana Victoria of Portugal always
rode astride.
There has been some discussion as to
whether this ancient practice should
not be revived, and the side-saddle
abandoned. In May, 1880, lady, wife
of an English baronet, appeared in Rot
ton row attended by her groom and
mounted cross-legged.
Her riding habit was not only some
what longer than the new fashion en-
joins. but longer than the old one as
well. and was simply very volumInous
divided skirt.
The fashion, however, does not ap-
pear yet to make much way, althOughit
is known that it is not so uncommon for
ladies to ride cross-saddle as might be
be supposed. A curious side-Saddle is
used by women in Iceland. 1t has
seat with back like common chair,
and has, instead of stirrup, a little
shelf on which both feet can rest.

Shorter Lines-More Speed.

= ~ suppose" said an engineer on a
Western road. THAT most people who

ally laid down. That is, they think that
when a railroad is built it never changes
its course. Most of the trunk lines are
built in a hurry in this country. After
they have been in operation for
while the company begins to figure on
how they can. make better time. This
is not done altogether by increasing
ing the speed, as some may suppose,
but by what we call shortening up the
line. Take this division Oh which | am
