THE ACCURSED CALF.
It's Mother Nearly Killed the Eng,
 fish Premier.
Yesterday the Animal Was Famous, To- Day It Is Almost Forgotten No One Wants to Buy It-A Sketch of the
 In-Fated Creature.

The evil that cows do lives after them. It was but to be expected that the calf whose mother nearly tossed MT. Gladstone should go through the world branded with the brand of vii carious crime and tainted with the taint of incapable heredity. True, for a moment the sun of fortune seemed to shine on the child of sin. The criminal herself was shot and hewn in pieces; her skin and horns and jawbones were strung, if not to city gates and castle-walls, at least to the milder equivalents of civilized age. So the calf, the last scion of a vitiated race, was visited with the infamy of the deed and herewith with the profit of it. It was to go to Chicago, to be the brightest jewel in the diadem of the Worlds Columbian exposition; the viking ship and the birthplace of Shakespeare would have been but the foil to this most glittering gem of all. Like the Apis of Sinai it was to stand on it's pedestal and drink in the intox- icating homage of the idolatrous. But misfortune ever dogs the child of sin, says the Pall Mall Budget, and the un- avoidable bolt has fallen as follows:
 kINNERTON HALL, Chester, 1893
 SIR: The calf you sketched a our place of the COW that attacked Mr. Gladstone in Hawar- den park we have on sale. MT. Thomas of Denbigh. who intended to take it to the worlds fair. failed in his plan, so have taken it of his hands. Should feel much obliged if you could give me any information what to do with it.

THE GOVERNMENT HAS MADE GAINS

Two Hundred and Twenty Out of 337
 Districts Have So Far Rsported-Of
 Decide the Election.
 BERLIN, June 17.-The most conspicu- ous two features of the electoral returns are the continued reports of Social Demo- rratic gains and Richterist losses. Most of the news still comes from the city con- ,ttuencies and the list of opposition depu- 'ies grows rapidly.
 This morning. however, dispatches from he agricultural districts reveals the other side of the page. From all that can now be lscertained it is reasonably safe to con- Jude that the government certainly has ost nothing by the dissolution and proba- ply has won a little.
 In the 220 districts from which reports lave been received 9S Deputies have bee n elected. There are yet IF districts to De heard from. In 122 new ballots will oe necessary. Of the 9S Deputies elected l3 will vote with the government, 56 against it. The parties siding with the government have lost four seats to the op- position; the parties working against the government have evened matters by losing live seats to the friends of the Army bill.
 The Conservatives have elected IT dep- utes; the Social Democrats 23; the Cleri- calls 20; the Radical Unionists 1; Free Con servatives 4; Poles 8; Democrats 5; Anti Semites ,; Independents 2, both favorable to the bill; Government Clericals i; Ma tional Liberals 9 Not one immediate supporter of Eugen Richter, the anti Gov prnment Radical has heen elected
 The Conservatives have won two seats formerly held by Free Conservatives. The Social Democrats have gained three seats from Richterists and one from the Free Conservatives The Lieber Clericals have gained one from the Government Clercals and have lost one to them. The Radical Unionists have elected one deputy who voted against the Army bill, but will vote for it in the next Reichstag. The Free Conservatives have gained two seats and lost three. The Democrats have gained one seat from the National Liberals. The National Liberals have lost three seats and gained two. The most interesting feature in the new ballots reported until now will be probably the gains of the So- cial Democrats and Radical Unionists
 Several small election riots have been reported from the provinces In Strass- burg shortly after result was announced, about ,, ,OO0 Socialists began parading the streets and shouting for their candidate.

Is said that his grace has parted with 1t because the jerry builders had
 marked the land on the opposite bank of the river for their own. MT. Astor bought the land and prevented this dissertation. It is something after all to possess fifty millions sterling! Mr.
 Astor, not content with his well-man- aged Pan Mall Gazette, is starting Pan Mall Magazine, which is likely to succeed, for it has absolutely nothing to contend against at it's own price ex- cspt the three or four great American Illustrated magazines, and they should not be very hard to beat in letterpress or in art, for their art work is often photographic in it's origin, and their
 literature has almost always been,
 from the European point of view, Somewhat provincial and amateurish.

ARAB SWIMMERS.
Their Skill and Endurance Seem Almost
 Incredible.

Their Skill and Endurance Seem Almost
 Incredible.
 The American boy who spends his summers by the sea, or within easy walking distance of a stream or lake, sometimes thinks himself an accom- plished swimmer. In comparison with the boys who have twelve months of practice a year instead of three, such a boy is a very clumsy land-lubbcr in deed. traveller recently returned from the east told a writer for the Chi cago News something about Arab swimmers.
 ''When ships are lying at anchor off the coast" he said, "th, natives swim about them for hours, with scarcely moments rest. You may hurl a coin with all your strength as far from the ship as possible, but an Arab is after it like a flash. Darting through the water like an arrow, he has the money before it has sunk many feet into the water. He invariably gets the money, never missing q single attempt.
 "Oftcn the swimmers chamber on board the boat, and endeavor to turn m honest penny by entertaining the passengers in one way or another. Some of their sleight-Of-hand perform ances arc exceeding clever. I remem- Der one instance in particular in which an Arabian magician got the better of a young passenger. The Arab swan out to the ship and came aboard.
 While he was endeavoring to per form few tricks for those on deck, the fresh young man had made him self very offensive by attempting to expose all the illusions and explain them to the audience.
 "Finally the Arab asked some one to loan him an English sovereign for a few moments. The young man stepped nimbly forward and handed the ma gician the required gold piece. The Arab stretched out his left hand, and placed the coin in the middle of his up- turned palm in plain view of the spec tators. He slowly closed his hand without moving its position. In sec ond he opened it, and in place of the sovereign was a penny. The English man wanted to examine it. The Arab tossed it to him. While the young fel- low was examining the penny the Arab made dive for the side of the ship. There was a splash in the sea, and that was the last the young man eyer saw of the Arab or tho sovereign"

A LETTER received by Mir Cleveland this week furnishes conclusive proof, if proof were needed, of the wisdom of the establishment in the pension bureau of board of revision, the sole duty of which is to go over all the pensions that have been granted under the law of 1890 and determine whether they were granted in accordance with a proper construction of that law. The writer of this letter, J. M. Burnett, is an ex- employe of the office, who voluntarily resigned during the last administration because he could not conscientiously take part in carrying out Raums methods. He tells the president of a large number of pensions illegally granted, and gives names, dates, and the numbers of the applications, so that his statements may be easily verified. He says that thousands of pensions have been illegally granted, and that they are not confined to cases in winch the law was wrongfully construed, but in- clude an enormous number granted in direct violation of law. Mir Burnett concludes by expressing the belief that at least $6O, ,00O, ,0OO year can be saved by thorough and rigid purging and revision of the pension rolls.

THE improvement in the financial situation has Eeen very marked during the last few days, and treasury officials and others who keep close watch on financial affairs believe that the turn has come in the flow of gold abroad and that the situation will continue to inn prove. It is certain that the gold in the treasury is again increasing at a gratifying rate and that there is at present no demand for gold for ship ment abroad. Secretary Morton ex- presses the opinion that from now on our cereals will take the place of the gold which we have been shipping to Europe, and the fact that the large amount of gold which the Rothschilds contracted to furnish Austria has all been delivered is also thought to have been factor in causing a cessation in the European demand for gold. The government has lost in actual cash, according to Secretary Carlisle's figures, in carrying out the provisions of the Sherman silver law, nearly $11 ,OOO, ,OOO, representing the difference between the amount paid for the silver now stored in the treasury vaults and it's present selling price. If it really had to be sold at once the loss would probably be much greater because of the further de.
 preciation in price that would follow such large quantity of silver on the market.

THE new law of the state of Washing ton prohibiting the sale of cigarettes has been declared unconstitutional by a United States court at Seattle. It was contested by New York firm on the ground that the sale of cigarettes sent into the state in the "original pack ages," meaning the small boxes in which they are put up, is a matter of interstate commerce which cannot be regulated or prohibited by state au- thority. The court seems to have taken this view, and of course there will be an appeal.
