Sigma CHS.
NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-President-elect
Cleveland was initiated into the Sigma
Chi college fraternity this morning.
A badge Of the fraternity was pre-
sented to him. 1t was accepted
ana worn by the prsident-elect
with au interest worthy of the enthuSi-
aSm of an undergraduate. At a grand
chapter of the fraternity recently held
in this city, Hon. Reginald Fendall. of
Washington, grand consul, and Rev.
Theodore A. K. Gessler, ID. d., con-
sui of the New York alumni chapter,
and Alfred Taylor, Esq, of New York,
vice grand consul OF the eighteenth
biennial convention, were appointed to
conSummate the honorary membership
Of the Hon. Grover Cleveland i'll the
Sigma Chi fraternity. owing to per
emptOry summons calling Mr.. Fendall
to Washington, he Was not present, but
this morning Rev. DR.. GesSler and Mr..
Taylor, i'll this city, Invested Mr.. CleVe-
land with membership.
The elaborate ritualiStic ceremony Ill
which Greek letter college societies
usually indulge were, it Is said,
omitted. In dignified manner
III. OeSSlef communicated IHo eSSeli-
tlal features, and with the grip
OF recognition given by Mr.. Tay Tor, the
ceremony was completed. Honorary
membership is not generally recognized
i'll this fraternity. Mr.. Cleveland will
stand alone in this relation under the
present constitution of the order.
There never vas any opposition to him
on personal or political grounds. To
accomplish his admission certain modi-
fcations in the fundamental law OF the
fraternity were, however, necessary.
The necessary adjustment was made at
the grand chapter referred to and all
obstacles removed.

RAG PICKERS.
} In Paris There Are $4,000 OF

In Paris There Are $4,000 OF
Them.
Theodore Child in Harper's Magazine.
{ The wealth of Paris is so boundless
that the rubbish and refuse Of the city
are worth millions. There are more
than $4,000 persons who earn living
by picking up what others throw away.
{ Twenty Thousand women and children
exist by sitting and sorting the gathering
of the pickerS, who collect everyday
i'll the year about 1900 tons Of
merchandise, which they sell to the
wholesale rag dealers for some 100000.
At night you see men with baskets
strapped on their backs, lantern in
one hand, and ill the other stick with
an iron hook on the end. They walk
along rapidly, their eyes fixed ON the
ground, over which the lantern filings
sheet of light, and whatever they find
in the way of paper, rags, bones. grease,
metal, ETC., they stow away in their baS-
ketS.
In the mornig in front of each house
you see men, women and children sift-
ing the dust bins before they are emp
tied into the scayengers' carts. At vari-
GUS hours of the day you may remark
isolated rag pickers. who seem to work
with less method than the others, and
with more independent air. The night
pickers are generally novices; men who.
having been thrown out of work.
are obliged to hunt for their living
like the wild beasts. The morning
pickers are experienced and regular
workers, who pay for the privilege of
sitting the dust bins Of a certain num-
Der of houses and of trading with the
results. The rest, the majority, are the
coureurS, the runners. who exercise
their profession freely and without con-
troll, working when they please and
loafng when they please. They are the
philosophers and adventures of the
profession, and their chief object is 10

THERE MAY BE FIGHT
When Martin Appears to Claim
His Seat in the Senate.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-There is a
diversity of opinion, not only among
the senators, but among the members Of
the committee OH privileges and cleo
tons, as to the exact standing of
Mr.. Martin, of Kansas, who IS credited
with being senator-eect from that state
TO fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Mr.. Plumb. and now temporarily
filled by Mr.. Perkins. by appointment
of the governor. The appearance OF
Mr.. Martin at the senate chamber bear
ing the certificate of the governor may
be looked for at any day, and may
precipitate prolonged and bitter
election contest similar TO those of some
years ago. The fact that every seat jim
the senate will be contested by the
Democrats in favor of their intention to,
if possible, organize the next senate,
gives the ease of Mr.. Martin immediate
importance. 1t has escaped the mind
of some Of the members of
the committee that the Kansas election
was to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Mr.. Plumb, whose term of Office
did not expire until the 4th of March,
1895, and that MI. Perkins, the pres
ent incumbent, was only serving
until the legislature should meet
in regular session and choose his sue
cessor. As soon as that successor has
been regularly and legally elected, Mr..
Perkins ceases to be United States
senator. Under the present conditions
that exist in Kansas the probable action
of the senate becomes all interesting
matter for conjecture.
In the meantime, Mr.. Perkins will
hold thn coat which ht1
pointed until his successor is elected
and qualified. Mr.. Perkins Is
not, from all accounts, dis
posed to forego his seat in the
senate without a struggle, and will
not cease his resistance to a judgment
of custer until he and the other Re-
publican members OF. the senate are
satisfied that the credentials of the
senator from Kansas are good, and that
he was chosen by body duly organized
So it may happen that in the event of
this sort'of a contest, Mr.. Perkins may
remain in the senate until the close of
the present congress. 1t is just possible,
too, that MIR. Martin may refrain from
presenting himself until after the Or
gailiZation of the next senate.
POpulists Are Wary.
The Republicans have just discov-
cred that there is no way of testing the
legality of the organization of the
P0pullst house excepting by an attack
upon the validity of the bills
which it may pass. The governor
will withhold his signature from all
bills excepting appropriation bills until
the last part of the session. The APP
preparation bills can be attacked only
by action of the state treasury, and
such action can be brought only by the
attorney general, aAd he, being Il Popu
list, will decline to bring it.
The P0pulists had ratification meet
ing tonight for Standardized Martin.
Mrs. Lease said she had judged the
election OF Mr.. Martin too harShIy. She
had since then been assured that he was
in line with many of the PopuliSt prn-
ciples, and that he would i'll time be an
ornament to the party which had given
him Il seat in the senate.

WANT FOSTERS SCALP.
Charges OF Malfeasance Filed
Against the Secretary OF the
Treasury.
Alleged Connection With an In
sane Asylum Contract the Basis
of the Charges.

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 26.-Dr. F. S.
Wagenhals, of this city, filed with Gov.
Mckinley charges of malfeasance
against Secretary of Treasury Foster,
as trustee Of the Ohio asylum for the in
sane at Toledo. The charge is that Sec
rotary Foster is interested III the
Isaac Harter FIGURING Mill company,
of FoStoria, which concern is selling
large quantities of -four to the Toledo
insane asylum. In his letter Wagon
halls specifies that $50 barrels of flour
were sold to the asylum i'll June, and
the same amount each mouth up to De-
cember. The law is such that if the
above fac is can be proved, a plain case
is made out against the secretary. DR..
Wagenhals is Foraker Republican and
led the attack upon Mr.. Foster two
weeks ago for appointing Democratic
steward of the Toledo insane asylum.

HOW IT WIN WORK.

We know how the present system
works. There is no competition. The
roads prevent it between their lines.
The elevators at station prevent it
by making a list price. and by direct
ing their agents to keep off the
streets and wait in their elevators for
farmers to come to them. Suppose that
there is at these stations one elevator to
which any buyer can send his grain or
any farmer take his, which is obliged
to receive it, elevate and bin it and
ship it wherever ordered. Will there
not be there then a free and open
market? The backbone of the comb.
nation would be broken. Any man
could go to buying grain. Every station
would have its buyers on the streets.
The old way would be restored, and the
grain would be bought again on the
wagon or sled, by sampling. The hate
full, mischievouS word grade would
fall into merited disuse. The grain
would be sold on its merits. and not on
arbitrary grades The farmer would be
again the important person, to be ia
vored and conciliated by the buyers, in
stead of the mere Jeamster of the eleva-
tors that he now is.
No combination could ruin the trade
of town by depressing prices. for the
trGdesmen of the town could pat buyers
on the streets and stop it. If farmer
felt he was not getting what his grain
was worth he could ship it, eleyating
and storing it until he had carload in.
In practice it is probable that the pub
lie" elevators would transact little bust
ness. The present elevators would not
go out of business. but they would be
monopolieS no longer; they would be
forced to compete. If they did, the rail-
road elevator would do little Of the
trade. Ii they did not compete. the rail
road elevator would stand there ready
to break the combine. Competing or

MILWAUKEE, Jah. 26.-The bar con-

cusSion on the question Of calling
another convention, and, while Judge
Webb's friends argued against it. they
did not antagonize the proposition with
their votes.

What Is He ? VaaiouS Definitions

Chicago Herald.
The newspaper and other wits are
unjust to the mugwumps. Chauncey
M. Depew, in recent interview, said
that ''a mugwump is a man who cannot
agree with anybody but himself, and
about that he is in doubt" The New
York Sun alleges that this is incorrect.
"a mugwump," it says, lis clam in
politics who firmly believes that
his shutting and opening make
night or day." There is I'M
truth and Immature Ill both these defini-
lions. A mugwump who left the Re-
publican party and votes for Democratic
candidates combines the wisdom of both
parties. The only trouble with him is
that he stays out of the Democratic
lines while fighting Democratic battles.
He should come in out of his present
exposed situation and be close to the
flagstaff of the flag under which he
serves. .y.
