wrangie Between somerby and the Massa-
ehusetts Members in 1889
The State of Massachusetts, has long been
O thorn in the side of the management of
the Iron Hall. In July. 1889, the malcon-
tents in that State charged that within
two years following that date the term of
seven years would expire for many of the
Massachusetts members. and they would
be entitled to the $1,000 which they ex-
pected for the $500 they had paid in. 1t
was claimed that to meet this exigency
the central authorities were squeezing
these members out on all sorts of trumped-
mp pretexts. In support of this it was
stated that charters held by district
branches In Massae hnsetts were forfeited.
leavink the branches directly responsible
TO the Supreme Sitting at indianapolis, thus
bringing the members more than ever
under the personal authority OF the sn-
preme Justice, whote course they were then
complaining of. At this time it was
claimed that the bylaws of the order had
been changed so as to centralIze the power
In the hands of the people at indianapolis
and enable them to increase the number of
lapses. and that the central body would
have more money at it's command than
ever. 1t was noticed that the assessments
of the order were increasing and that
whereas, in the schedule presented. to the
Massachusetts, Legislature, In 1888, when
they were trying TO get foOthold in that
State. the programme included fifteen as
sessments for 1889 when. As q matter of
fact. the assessments proved to be nearly
double that number.
AT that time the Supreme Sitting here
said the troubles in Massac husetr all grew
ont of the enmIties of other forms of in
Burance and annuity investments. 1t was
then explained that the reserve fund
feature of the order was instituted to aid
IN meeting the frst~class benefits. which
matured nearly oil of them when the first
seven years expired. Now" said they,
that benefits are maturing each month in
the year and our mem bcrship is multiply
ing We shall have less occasion for the re-
serve. but shall continue to use it to reduce
assessments whenever there is more In the
treasury than should be piled up in the
way of surplus"

DENVER. COL. July 29.-The silver party
had a warm time to-day over the question
of indOrslnR the ticket nominated by tho
Peoples party yesterday. The Rocky
Mountain News which the day after the
Chicago convention refused to support
Cleveland, and since the Omaha conven-
tion has supported Weaver. to-day fatty
refused to support Waite, the fusion can
dldate for Governor. So when the silver
men met this morning fight WAS on.
Late In the afternoon delegate George
moved to indOrse only the Peoples party
presidential electors. This was lost, and
alter further discussion the entire tick ct
was Endorsed. 115 to l6 being the vote.
Twenty five of the voteslwere those of free
silver men. The minority is dissatisfied,
and the result will doubtless be the with
drawai from the Peoples party.

THE CHINESE THEATER.

There will be large tea store and six
smaller stores on the first floor, an open
stairway twenty feet wide will lead to
the theater on the second floor, and the
general finish of both will be thoroughly
Chinese. At each end of the structure
will be a Chinese pagoda, highly dec
Grated and surmounted with a 350-foot
fagpole. The theater will seat 1000
persons and will be finely finished in the
style of Picking. The cost Of the structure
is put at 100000 Tom Sing, of New
York; Sam Moy, of Chicago; the Chinese
representatives at Washington and
agents of the Six Companies of San
Francisco are working in concert.

A Glimpse of Old London.

Mr.. II. G. Richards lectured in the
English metropolis the other evening on
"Londons 800 Years, and among other
things said: IF you see, as you occasion
ally may, a little party wandering about
curiously poking and prying into old
corners armed with Baedeker or Hare,
wanting to get into closed churches Ia
standing shame) and asking where are
ancient monuments which had been
swept away by greed and avarice, they
are sure to be American, not English.
Londoners were hopelessly ignorant of
the streets in which they spent the best
portion of their busy lives.
"How few who ever stood or sought ad-
mission to the private doorway of the
Mansion house pictured or thought of
the scene of 1900 years ago-the deep
and winding valley coming down from
Bread street, clad with villa gardens,
and the little colony of Roman rulers
and traders overshadowed and protected
by the green bastion of a Roman fort.
The north wall and ditch extended east
ward for nearly half mile, and great
er opening lay to the west for Waiting
street, another to the north for Ermyu
street, and straight road passed the
market place in Eastcheay and went
down to London bridge. II the Romans
could but return today they would hard
ly recognize their old lake fort, the city
of 400 acres, and, with the exception Of
Fleet valley, the ancient fluctuations are
scarcely to be traced of the old city,"

THE CHILDREN'S BUILDING.

Foundlings are happily not so album
dant in Chicago as in Paris, but if there
should be any they will take the usual
course to the city charities. The creche
at Chicago, however, will be only a
minor adjunct to the Children's build
ing, in which all kinds of games will be
in progress. Expert Undergraduates will
deliver lectures on foreign countries,
illustrating with stereopticon, and then
the children will be taken in classes to
the section of the grounds where the for
eign country is represented. In the
nursery all the latest improvements in
dressing, feeding and generally caring
for children will be practical, and there
mothers may learn much that is valua-
BILE.
George Cary, a Buffalo architect,
drew the plans for the building, which
is an adaptation of the palace of Fran
els |, in Paris, and the entire structure
is 80 by $50 feet. The general form is a
long rectargle, with projecting wing
at each end, these wings inclosing a
wide open court before the main en-
trance. The great object was to secure
abundance of light and air for each
room. The main structure is but one
story high and the wings but two, and
on top of the former is to DO broad and
airy roof garden, well secured, ON which
the children can disport themselves in
safety. There will be receiving, dress
ing, bathing and dining rooms and
everything to make life pleasant for the
little ones. There will also be a phys
ical training section and many other
features borrowed from the most sue
cessful institutions in Europe and Amer
lea

Singapore's Railway.

1t is remarkable to think of the ma
terial progress of the age. The news
comes that the Island of Singapore now
possesses a railway one mile long, which
is the commencement of proposed cleo
trio line intended to be laid down be-
tween the town of Singapore and the
village of Kranji. The town of Johore
hes on the other side of the straits,
which are here one mile across, exactly
opposite the village of Kranji and on
the southernmost point of the Malay
peninsula. The need of convenient COM
munication between the two towns has
long been felt, and if the scheme is car
ried through it will be of great benefit
to the trade and to all visitors to the
beautiful Island of Singapore.

A Chinese Theater.

A syndicate of Chinese capitalists,
some of whom reside in Picking, are
building theater and bazaar at the cor
ner of Stony island and Sixty-fourth
street, Chicago, which is to be run dur
ing the exposition in the highest style of
Chinese art. The structure will be three
stories high, 81 by 100 feet, and will be
built of brick, stone and iron, with a
highly ornamented roof. The entrance,
which is to be fourteen feet wide, will be
adorned with Chinese designs. In fact
the entire front will be one combination
of Chinese symbols. In the basement
will be large dining room, where
dishes peculiar to the Chinese race will
be served. Opening from this will be
four private dining rooms.

Mrs. Lease has certainly had an expe-
rience to qualify her for understanding
the needs of many classes. She was
born in Ireland, and with all the Irish
capacity for wit, sarcasm and eloquence.
She was brought to the United States in
childhood, and her father enlisted in the
Federal army and died a prisoner in An
Jacksonville. She married and with her
husband put in many years of very hard
work on Kansas farm, growing poorer
as they worked harder. Their home is
now in Wichita, and fortune is little
kinder to them. She thought out for
herself an explanation of the depression
In agriculture, and so became an elo-
quent advocate of the Peoples party.
Many good judges consider her the most
eloquent speaker in Kansas; but even if
the legislature should elect her the SEN
ate would then have to decide on her
eligibility, and there the chances are
very decidedly against her.

Worth Experimenting with.

The American cabman and his passen-
ger so often disagree over their fare that
it might be worth while adopting a sys-
tenn used in several English towns. An
indicator of fares is fixed in the cab, and
when the passenger enters the driver is
bound to place the index at the fare due
for the distance proposed, thus prevent
ing all wrangling on reaching the goal.
Some such plan is in preparation also in

FOR THE CHILDREN.
Beautiful Building That VIII Be a
Worlds Fair Feature.


The Children's building at the Colum-
bian exposition and the attached creche,
as it is called, will be places of great
interest as well as of much value to
mothers. Although the plan is borrowed
from France, it is to be hoped that the
experience of the good ladies will be
very different. During the Paris ex-
position of 1889 mothers took their in
fants to the creche and left them in care
of trained nurses while they wandered
about the grounds, and when the ex-
position closed the appalling fact was
published that about 5000 infants had
been abandoned and left to the mercies
of the creche.

COLORADO KICKERS

Recommend q Democratic State Conven.

age Men Can Stomach Neither Cleveland
Nor Harrison-Their Manifesto.
CHICAGO, June 2a-To-night after the
adjournment of the National Convention
the following significant document was
framed and wired to the West:
CHICAGO June %.
To the Democratic Voters Of Colorado:
The nomination Of Grover Cleveland and
the palpably evasive declarations upon the
silver question by the National Democratic
Convention confrohts the Democratic party
of Colorado with serious problem.
If the convention had declared
that free bi-metallic coinage was q
land accepted the nomination upon such
a platform, we might have rested upon his
reputation for honesty, and believed that
he would, in response to the oeligatioo,nss

Fast as not binding the party in any
the West as being favorable to
it, and with n candidate for the Presidency
whose past utterances and official acts show
him to be unalteraoly opposed to tree coin
President free coinage cannot be realized
during the term of his administration.
AS between Mr.. Cleveland and Mr. Harri-
son, there can be no choice to free coinage
men. Both have acted and spoken; both
have made records that embody their de-
liberate judgments. These records show
them to be enemies to the cause SO dear to
Colorado, and unless free coinage can be
cast aside as of secondary importance to the
country's welfare, the plain question Is
presented to both the Democratic and Re-
publican voter; Can they honestly, with q
full sense of their obligation to self, home,
State and party, aid either of them to the
Presidency?
This is not question for US to answer; it
is for the party. We assume no RESPONSE
btlity except to speak the truth without
taltering We simply make plain state
ment for the party to consider and act
upon. Thus far, under the peculiar circum-
stances, we deem 1t our duty to 20. 1t Is for
the party, after full consideration, to de-
termine the rest. That this may be done
AS speedily as possible, we recommend that
the proper authority shall call the party
together in delegate convention, that the
the matters involved may by passed upon
byit.
This manifesto is signed by T. NJ. Patter-

CHICAGO, June 23.-Hon. William M.
Springer, Chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee of the House of Repre-
sentatives, who has been among those who
opposed President Cleveland's nomination
on the ground that it would not be ex-
pedient, said this evening that sowing to
the intense bitterness provoked by factional
contests in the State of New York, 1
doubted very much the availability of Mr..
Cleveland. That, however, is a question of
fact which has been adjudicated bv the rep
resentatives Of the people in this National
Convention. These representatives. came
from every part of the country and are of
the opinion that Grover Cleveland is
availahle-not only available, but the most
available of all candidates. Of his
availability. therefore, there can no longer
be a question Of doubt. Personally and
politically he has always been my first
choice, but honestly opposed him because
of nv fears of the State of New York
There is no man whose election to the high
Office of President would give me more in
tense satisfaction.
"The nomination of Mr. Stevenson for
Vice President" continued Mr. Springer,
''will add great strength to the Presidential
ticket. He is strong where Mr.. Cleveland
is weak, and his nomination will give
strength in localities where there is danger
of disaffection. A distinguished Democrat
from New York, an adherent of Tammany,
told me this evening that Mr.. Stevenson's s
nomination would add many thousand votes
to the ticket in New York.

TAMMANY ENCOURAGEMENT.

ing Cleveland VIII Garry New York
Not the Man They Wanted, but They
VIII Obey tho Party Command.
CHICAGO, June Ex-Governor Flower,
of New York, said that he had no criticism
to make upon the work of the convention.
1--WE have made our case as strongly as we
do now before the court of final resort OF
the Democracy of the Republic" said he.
"We can only bow to its conclusion and do
all the work we can to elect the candidate.
The condition Of New York politically is
rather curious one. We have a difficult
fight to make, and we certainly would have
preferred to make it with some candidate
who would not have aroused opposition in
our State. The judgment of our party,
however, we accept fully and finally, and
we will do all for Mr.. Cleveland that we
would have done for Hill or German or
Gray. We feel that we are handicapped,
but New York may be depended upon to
do the best we can even under the most ad-
verse circumstances
'It is nv Judgment that with hard work
we can perhaps carry the State. l do not
lilac ~ plonAsS, Uub 'he o'"'s
can be carried for Cleveland by loyal and
faithful work, then nobody more than our
selves will be glad to know that our fears
were groundless.
Bourke Cochran, of New York, says: I'm
my speech last night gave the reasons why
1 believed that Grover Cleveland was not
the most fortunate candidate that We could
name. NY advice was not taken and now I
must take the advice of the convention.
The convention advises Cleveland, and for
Cleveland all of our work will be done.
The New York Democracy will not sulk.
1t will do the best it can. IF we go into
this fight without very much hope it is be-
cause we knew New York better than the
people OF Texas or Illinois. But we are
Democrats, and as Democrats we propose
to make the hottest campaign that has been
known in that State for long time"
Richard Croker, of New York, occupied
seat beside Governor Flower in the conven-
tion. He was even more taciturn than
usual, and all he would say in reply to the
questions put to him was: eve people in
New York thought that we knew how the
Democracy would carry the State. The
Democracy has not agreed with US. We
will try to obey the command given to us
last night hope for the best. Had al
most any other candidate heen nominated
1 would have been sure of the best. That
is all have to say
