SHAWNEE POLITICS.
Four Tickets Out With More Parties to
Hear Prom,

Hear From.
Shawnee county, which is noted 40 tn
hotbed Of republicanism, and the hom
of disorganized local reformers, ha
probably more county tickets in the felG
for this campaign than any other county
in the state. In June, the republican
nominated by the Crawford county sys
tenn, and have called another primary
election to nominate a man for county
attorney, that Office having been latel,
vacated by the death of B. M. Curtis.
The Populists on July % held theil
convention, which was reported in thu
ADVOCATE Of last week. Their nominees
are men Of excellent character and repu
tation, such as ought to be supported by
all classes Of people. Their names appear
in another column.
THE WORKINGMEN's PARTY.
On the 9th, there was organized an
independent workingmen's party" by
the trades union people of Topeka. The
organizers, Of course, expect the support
Of lsboring people who are not in the
unions.
They nominated the following: For
sheriff, P. z. Cook; county clerk, j. G.,
Ssmuelson; county attorney, J. G..
Waters; treasurer, N. Clearinghouse
register of deeds, Frank Brooks; coroner,
G. McClintock; surveyor, Geo. II. Price.
Mr.. Cook is the nominee Of the Populists,
and Mr.. Brooks Of the republicans.
This convention resolved: "Thst for
the purpose of educating ourselves, our
fellow workingmen, the public and es-
pecislly the politicians of the various
political parties who have SO frequently
broken faith with us, and with malice
towards none, and charity for ALL we
call upon OR fellow workingmen and
upon the true friends Of the lsboring
classes to step out from under the par
tisan banners in Shawnee county for
this year, and join us in elscting to the
various positions the capable, efficient,
and honest lsboring men, or friends of
that class, which we have chosen as
standard bearers for the workingmen's
ticket of SAID Shawnee county for the
campaign of 1893."
DEMOCRATIC.
What the user Of slang would call q
"red hot time" was the democratic con-
vention of last Saturday. The ordinary
form Of resolutions were offered by the
committee endorsing President Cleve-
lands course, opposing women's suffrage,
and favoring the resubmission Of the
liquor question to a vote Of the people,
in the interest Of temperance and moral
ity. The liberal element Of the conVen-
tion, represented by Eugene Wolfe,
presented an amendment congratulating
the democracy on the election Of Senator
Martin and endorsing the senator's atti-
tuds on questions pertaining to the well
fare Of the state and nation. This
opened conflict with Eugene Hagsn in
direct opposition to the amendment
Buck Miller took the Martin side, and
for a few minutes the war Of words
wsxed bitter. When peace was restored
long enough to take a vote,the snti-Msr-
tin men found themselves in q minority
at the ratio Of % to 45.

A Pen Picture of n1me. Cottu.

The Paris correspondent Of London
Truth says of Nine. Cottu, who exposed
the French deputies whom her husband
bribed: Picture Mother Hubbard at the
age of 40 and dressed plainly, albeit in
fashionable black clothes. She Is small
and witchy. It would not have surprised
me to have seen her 1.-THE, angular little
person mounted on broomstick and fly
ing through the air. The eyes are pierc.
ing, and one did not need to hear her
speak to feel that she was hard headed
mite who had more tough fiber in her
than bar, bench, prisoners and political
witnesses put together. There was no
hesitancy about anything she said or did.
The ring of sincerity in her evidence car
ried all before it. Possibly she was play
ing part, though I think not.
"After all the limp men 1t was re-
freshing to hear this high strung woua-
an. She enjoyed, one could see, eati~I
her vengeance cold. Her voice rang
clear. Though feeling strongly. she WA
mistress of herself and ladylike. Shs
subsequently held an improvised levee
in the hall of the Palais de Justice, Du
Butt, the batonnier of the Order of Ad-
vocates, presenting the bar to her. The
bar Of Paris ever was, and I dare say
ever will be, in opposition to the govern
ment, whatever form it may take.
Hence the enthusiasm for Mime. Cottu
which was suddenly evinced on that Sat-
urday."

Tho Value of a Little Thing.

In little volume of lectures by Henry
Irving, just published, is story which
illustrates the actors motto, "While
tribes make perfection perfection is no
trife." "This lesson was enjoined on
me when ! was very young man." he
says, "by that remarkable actress,
Charlotte Cushman. I remember that
when she played Meg Merrilies was cast
for Henry Bertram. It was my duty to
give Meg Merrilies a piece of money,
and l did it after the traditional fashion
of handing her a large purse full of coin
of the realm, in the shape Of broken
crockery, which was generally used in
financial transactions on the stage. But
after the play Miss Cushman said to me-:
Instead of giving me that purse, don't
you think it would have been much
more natural if you had taken a number
Of coins from your pocket and given me
the smallest? That is the way one gives
aims to beggar, and 1t would have
added to the realism Of the scene
have never forgotten that lesson"

The work Of sewing schools.

Some philanthropic ladies of Platts-
burg have maintained sewing school
during the last three winters. In the
first winter about 40 pupils were in
structed. The second winter the num-
Der increased to 100, and room for
meeting was given it in the high school
building. Last winter about 65 pupils
were instructed, but the attendance on
Saturday afternoons was constant, the
pupils being more closely confined -
that class that the school was Institutes
to benefit. The school provides the
work, and when child completes gar
ment she invariably takes it home and
generally puts it on. The cost Of the
material has been provided in part by
contributions of friends, but mainly by
the proceeds of two public entertain
ments.
Every holiday season the teachers pro-
vide Christmas tree, and to many Of
the pupils this was the only treat tho
holidays afforded. In the winter Of
1891 g the number Of garments finished
was 267 and last winter 2l5. A still
more useful result Of the school was the
interest it awakened among the teachers
in regard to the pupils families, and
much poverty and suffering were re-
lieved that had not been dreamed a. be-

slaughter Of birds Of plumsre.

The Duchess of Portland has for some
lime past been president of the Society
For the Protection of Birds, which held
q ameeting, presided over by Mr.. J. Colam,
at the offices of the Royal Society For the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, to
consider amendments Of its rules, which
1t is hoped will tend to advance its OBJ
tects. The Duchess Of Wellington, Lord
Lilford, Lady Forester and the Hon.
Mrs. Boyle, it was announced, have he
come vice presidents, and among these
present were the dowager Countess Of
Buchan and Lady Lisle. The funda-
mental rule of membership is that the
ladies who join shall refrain from wear
ing the feathers Of any birds not killed
for the purpose of food, the ostrich only
excepted.
Professor Newton of Magdalene col
lege, Cambridge, gave some particulars
furnished to him by an American or
nithologist as to the entire destruction
upon the peninsula Of Florida Of the
great white heron, whose dorsal plumes
supply SO large proportion of tho "os-
preys" used in millinery, and Lady Lisls
added some remarks on the relentless
slaughter Of the beautiful Impeyan pheas-
ant in India. Mrs. Phillips and Miss
Bernard also spoke, the latter describing
at some length the conditions of the trade
in small birds in London and urging
that all dealers should be compelled to
take out a license.-London Telegraph.

San Bernardino Times-Index: Ad.
vices from Goff's, on the Atlantic and
Pacific, state that the contractors who
are laying the track for the Nevada
Southern from that point to &oode
springs are pushing matters. They are
laying half mile Of track day, and
are rushing construction with all the
means at their command. The road ia
now within five miles OF Vanderbilt.
The latest and most important informa-
ton concerning the new road, however
and this comes to the Times-Index from
an authoritative source--is that the con.
tract for building the 81 miles OF road
between Vanderbilt and Goode springs
will be let on the 10th inst, and this
part OF the road will be puuhed to an
early completion.
That the promoters OF the Nevada
Southern meant business from the start
is now evident, but 1t remains to be
seen what will be done to fill tn gap
between Goode Springs (the northern
terminal OF the new road) and Glover
Valley junction, south Of Pioche, New,
which point tie Union Pacific extends
with spur from Salt Lake. This gap is
about 160 miles in length, and trail
extends between tine two points that 10
admirably adapted for q roadbed. The
problem OF the situation in which gem
eral interest 10 felt is whether the Union
Pacific will build to Goode Springs or
the Nevada Southern continue to Glover
Valley junction, and whether the new
road is really an independent line or is
being built by the Union Pacific, which,
it is understood. has for several years
been maturing plans to strike Southern
California and reach tidewatez.
If the Nevada Southern is an inde-
pendent line, the projectors may rest
content with making spur Of the At
lantic and Pacific, tapping tho rich
mineral country in the Vanderbilt. New
York and Providence mining districts |;
but if the Union Pacific 10 fathering the
scheme the Santa Fe and Southern Pa
cific may look for strong competitor in
Southern California business. The
Union Pacific would probably build .
direct line to tidewster.
