A clever Story Wasted.

A member of the Chicago bar related to q
Chicago Tribune reporter an interesting bit Of
experience he had in naming fee he should
charge the multi millionaire. Senator Sawyer, of
Wisconsin. II mad done twenty days hard and
important work for the senator. When il came
TO the point for me 10 name my fee | said:
Senator let me tell you a little story. A
younger brother lawyer came to me the other
day in great quandary as to how much he
should charge a certain client for a highly sus-
cessful piece of legal work that he had done
At first told him to go somewhat by the feel
ings of the client regarding the good the latter
had reaped. Having said this, named $500 to
my young fri nd. Well when his client ap-
pared he was feeling way up, and taking up a
roll of $500 bills, remarked: Now, my young
friend, I'll begin and tell off these $500 bills and
when I've told Off enough to satisfy you for
your services you say the word " The young
man was dumfounded. "One-two-three''-
and then the young man shouted: Enough
That will dol" Then the happy client handed
the 81 500 to his lawyer with the sir of one who
thought he was getting off very cheap
Senator Sawyer heard the story all through,
and could see he caught the point that was
trying to make with it on MIN. Smiling drolly
he said:
Good enough story, Dut that amt the way
l do business. What's your bill?'
Two thousand dollars, said l. and without
moments hesitation the senator wrote me

Mr.. Clereland,a Prospects.

The prospect that Mr.. Cleveland will be
nominated at Chicago grows more promis-
ing. In our dispatches yesterday there
were reports Of the democratic state con-
ventions Of Texas, Alabama, Maryland,
Mississippi and Maine. The Texas conven-
ton Endorsed Mr.. Cleveland. The delega-
tons from Alabama, Mississippi and Maine
favor him, and there is every reason
to believe that the Maryland delegation will
give him is support.
1t is difficult to see how Mr.. Clev Glands
nomination can be prevented It is stated
upon the best of authority that he was sure
of 524 delegates before the foregoing states
elected delegates. In that case be already
has many more than enough to nominate
him.
The convention will contain 900 delegates
If each of the territories and the District of
Columbia are granted the usual representa-
ton. Under the two>thirds rule 900 votes
will be required TO nominate. II Mr. Cleve-
lands friends have made no mistake in their
estimate he will have very nearly 700 votes
when the convention assemblies.
Mr.. Cleveland has made no effort 10 get
the nomination. As far as the public knows
he has not sought is in any way. The cleo
ton of delegates favorable to him has been
the result of feeling throughout the coun-
try that he is the man TO lead the democracy
in this campaign.
It is somewhat remarkable that while the
democratic masses are calling for bis nomi-
nation, many of the leading democratic
politicians are questioning the advisabilitY
OF nominating him. This doubling Of the
politicians is due to two things. One is
that the delegation from Mr.. Clevelands
own state is against him, and the other is
that be is not a favorite with the politicians
At Chicago it will be strongly urged by
the politicians that Mr.. Cleveland cannot
carry New York, but unless all present
signs fail that argument will avail nothing.
The great majority Of democrats believe he
can carry New York and that delegation
favorable to him would have been chosen
in that state if the real feeling Of the New
York democracy had been given a fair
chance to express itself. This belief will
show itself at Chicago and will neutralize
any efforts that Mr.. Clevelands opponents
may make to defeat his nomination. 1t
looks as II the Chicago oonven-
ton would do its work quickly

a Knot of Hair.
From the Academy.

She has a knot Of russell hair;
1t seems simple thing to wear
Through years, despite Of fashions check,
The same deep coil about the neck;
But there 1t twined
When first l knew her
And learned with passion to pursue her,
And, il she changed it. to my mind
She were creature of new kind.
On others she may flash the wise.
Strong light of apprehending eyes,
And make who fronts her beauty great
With hopes that awe and stimulate.
The happy lot
Be mine to follow
These threads through lovely curve and
hollow, ...-
And muse lifetime how they got
Into that wild, mysterious knot.

Magnetic glory on braid!
In others tresses we Inay mark
If they be silken blonde, or dark;
But thine we praise,
And dare not feel them;
Not Hermes, god of theft, dare steal them;
1t is enough for eye to gaze
Upon their vivifying maze.

Blaine's Denial.

The correspondents are giving Mr.. Blaine
things connected with him and his affairs
right or else what they write in some in
stances gives an impression different from
the one be would like the public to have.
The day after he resigned from the cabinet
the United Press sent out an inter view with
him in which he was made to say that he
was not a candidate for the nomination
and that his resignation did not imply that
he would accept it. MIR. Blaine denied that
he ever made any such statement. Ne de-
clared that he had made no statement Of
any kind to anybody about his resignation
and the nomination. The United Press
published statement to the effect that the
interview occurred substantially as re-
ported.
In the New York papers Of Wednesday
there was story that Father Ducey was
paid $65, 900 for the letters which James
Blaine, Jr., wrote to Marie Nevins. Miss
Nevins became young Blaine's wife. She
recently secured divorce from him, and
she threatened to publish the letters which.
it is alleged, have been bought for S65 900.
In our dispatches yesterday there was de-
NAL by Mr.. Blaine that he purchased the
letters in question, or that he had ever
heard the letters discussed except in the
newspapers. Mr. Blaine seems to be par
ticularly unfortunate in getting into the
newspapers il a way that is not agreeable
to him

T. Looks Like Harrison.

The vote on the motion TO adopt the
minority report Of the committee on Gre
dentials was regarded as a test Of the
strength of the Harrison and Blaine forces.
The majority report was in favor of the
Harrison men, aud the Blaine men under
took to have the minority report substi-
tuted for it. The motion to adopt the
minority report was defeated by vote
of 423 to 463. The majority report was
then adopted.
II this vote is fair test of the strength
of the opposing forces, and it seems TO be
so regarded, Mr. Blaine's name will not be
brought before the convention, and the
President will be renominated this morning

The Yale university D. K. E Society is
again before the public in connection with
a very ugly affair This is the society, it
will be remembered, that was the subject
of so much adverse criticism not long ago
because of the cruelties attending its initia-
tion exercises, which included burning the
candidates bare arm with a cigar. At
D. K. E. initiation, held last Wednesday
night, a student named Rustin was blind
folded and ordered to run a race with an,
other student. Rustin obeyed and ran at
full speed upon the pole of a wagon. The
pole struck him in the abdomen and he fell
unconscious On Tuesday he died. Ii is
said that several students have been rupt-
ured and received permanent injuries
at Yale Invitations during the past few
years, "but this is the first fatality" That
it is ''the first fatality" is offered as qualify
ing the culpability Of the hair Drained
young men who constitute the D. K. E.
Society. The faculty of the university
promises to take decisive action on the
matter Immediately; but the same thing
was promised when the cigar burning
exposures were made II the society's
reprehensible practices are not speedily
broken up by Yale, they may break Yale
up. Men with sons to be educated will not
care to send them to college where the
chances are favorable for their being killed
or crippled by lot of college hoodlums

because he is for Harrison all the time, and
next. because "this is not the time to nomi-

reason is the stronger. There is no chance

In the Base Ball vernacular.
From the BaItimore Slln tDenl.l


Mr.. Harrison is at the bat in base ball
parlance, and wants to make home run. His
nine is o good one. but there are clever fellows
on the other side, and Capt. Jim Blaine is
sending him such puzzling balls thF.s he finds it
hard to make a hit. Under these circumstances
perhaps. the President went to see the game
yesterday in the hope Of getting pointer"
that would help him TO paralyze his opponents
AS far as the public can see, the situation at
present seems to be represented by three balls
for Mr.. Blaine and two strikes for Mr.. Harrison
The momentous question to be decided at
Minneapolis is whether the next will be ball or
a strike. Watch Jimmie" carefully, Capt
Ben; there Is no telling how be is going to pitch
that ball.

Watch Editor Whitelaw Reid; he is after
the nomination for the vice presidency, or
something else In the peoples gift. For
years and years his newspaper, the New
York Tribune, has been a "non-union"
paper; that is. it has persistently refused to
employ union printers in its composing
room or union help in any other DEPART
ment. But during the current week Mr.
Reid has made the Tribune union paper ,
and his non-union workmen will all be dis
charged to make room for union men. This
means, If it means anything, that Reid is
preparing to GO into the campaign, and he
does not care to face the opposition OF labor
organizations. But it is not likely that
union printers will allow themselves to be
bought at any such price as that. They

From the Philadelphia North America

From the Philadelphia North American (Rep).
The phrases OF Mr.. Blaine offering his resig.
nation and the bref but unmistakable words in
which President Harrison instantly accepted
the retirement Of his Secretary OF State, leave
no further doubt as to the STRAINED relations"
between the two men. The armed neutrality is
over aud there is going to be devil of a row
But as no man is necessary to the success of the
Republican party, the convention may easily
decide to accept as its standard bearer in 1892
candidate not involved in bitter antagonism.

"Col." Sam Small has bounded to the
front as practical politician at one leap.
But he made some errors in the running Of
his little convention in Atlanta the other
day that no experienced politician would
have made-he neglected to take advantage
of every opportunity that was presented.
For instance, when the convention found
difficulty in making up state ticket, he
should have put personal feelings aside and
accepted nominations for the whole lot of
offices himself. A dozen worthless policy
tickets in mans pocket at one time, when
they cost nothing. might make him feel
bigger than would the ownership Of one soli-
tary ticket Of the same kind.

Harrison has done much to lift the Republican
