Hayes between pufs.
WELL" replied the irate Max, I've
been down town as far as Wall street
and Trinity church. Talk about iakirs
the STREETS are full of them, the side
walks one grand procession Of shoe
string peddlers, knife-sellers, suspender
vendors, s~leeve-button artists, tWO-fOr-
accent candy men, and bananas and
oranges everywhere. Here a crowd
gathers around a small-sized magician,
who sell tricks rapidly, fearing lest q
policeman should stray his way.
You can buy almost anything from q
shoestring to Il barnyard. =
why did l say there were so many
fools here? Because in my travels I
came across q Street fakir who was ell
ing, just as fast as he could hand them
out, pieces of green printed paper Mt a
cent apiece. Some folks took one, but
almost every one invested a nickel for
five, and some went as high as ten.
Here it is-cost me 1 cent" and Max
handed out a piece of paper the size Of
q greenback. ~
At each end was a spread eagle, and
in the center an Kali printed in green
%ink-nothing more. And people were
buying them like hot cakes.

There In No Row.

Washington, Special, May 2.-Repre-
sentative Baldwin seems to be of the
opinion that there is not much of a row
in the Minnesota Democratic ranks over
the distribution of patronage. This is
what he had to say on the subject, and it
is good talk for publication, especially as
efforts are being made now to patch up
all the differences among the Minnesota
Democrats: e.
Gan this stuff the papers in Minnesota
are publishing about a patronage row

Whenever an inventor hits upon q
simple device that exactly fills in q
niche that has always been vacant in
the public requirements everybody
wonders why the idea was not seized
before. This is the case with q new
postal card, which will commend itself
most strongly to all classes. It Is
simply q letter card inclosing another
similar device for the reply. The cards
are made in M piece,,a connection be
ing made by means of d narrow strip
SO arranged that when the murgin Is
torn off the reply portion becomes sep
arated. This combination will prove o
convenience to people whose time is
gold. Letter cards have always been
popular because they saw rambling and
formal letters and provide quite enough
room for all that is necessary in o large
percentage Of business letters. To be
able to inclose a prepaid form Of reply
already addressed to yourself is o
courtesy that most correspondents will
highly appreciate, and the consideration
It betokens Is very likely to bring it's
own reward in the shape Of o prompt
answer that would under the usual con-
ditions be more or less delayed.

BATTLING WITH 4 TIDAL WAVE.

The Thrilling Experience Of a
Schooner With a Mountain Of
Water.
The schooner Maggie S. Hart, Capt.
Hecnc, which arrived at Philadelphia
a few days ago from Matanzas, had a
narrow escape from being overwhelmed
by a tidal wave. She encountered the
tail end Of u hurricane, and the wind
blew with great violence for several
hours and the sea rose to an exceptional
height. The sea broke over the vessel
several times and sail had to be re-
duced until she was lying hove to un-
der a storm trysail. On March 20, the
captain told a Times reporter, an enor-
nous wave was seen to be travelling
swiftly towards the schooner, the crest
OF 1t seeming to reach rs high as the
crosstrees, and it appeared to absorb
the seas around it in its progress. Capt.
Heene and his crew unite in saying
they never saw such an enormous
mountain of water before. 1t appeared
to be travelling in a straight line for
their quarter, and an effort was made
to meet 1t stem en-. A fOr"staysail
was quickly set, the vessel fell off and
was brought to on the other tack Just
in time. Everybody held on for dear
life. The schooner met it bravely,
however, and climbed up it's precip-
itous side with her jibboom pointed
got full grown l quit it. A fresh young
man who was pining for glory insisted
upon taking the place l refused to fill
longer. He got the job and one day
the leopards tore him to pieces be-
fore a large crowd to the music of the
caliope. They got him out just in time
to let him die in the open air. Yes,
it is very thrilling and likewise very
glorious. But I don't banker for
glory"

Why Not Women Preachers.

There seems to be no objection what
ever to wonen taking control of Sun
day schools, benevolent institutions,
church fairs, festivals and all other
means of caring for the flocks and fill
ing the ecclesiastical %exchequer, but
when it m to women in the pulpit,
there is trouble at once. This is only
another of the relics of barbarism, &C.
cording to u writer in the New York
Ledger. In old times If the church
could get control Of the women and lit
tie children they felt pretty sur of
their ability to manage the rest of the
human family. Half a century ago a
woman doctor was scarcely recognized
in reputable circles, and q woman
lecturer was a m~onstrosity. Contrast
ing that date with the present and
taking note of the change of sentiment
from one decade to another, 1t is
scarcely too much to expect that by
another fifty years we shall see a most
wonderful revolution in matters Of this
sort. 1t is safe to predict that before
the end of the first decade of the next
century the woman preacher will be no
more Of a novelty than the woman doc
tor now is. Woman is especially fitted
for such work, and, even were she not
so, it would be only the strictest kind
of justice to give her some of the honor
as well as most of the hard work Of
the church. When once it .dawns fully
upon the minds of the people of this
generation that there is no sex in intel
lect or moral achievement the first and
most difficult part of this knotty prob
lem will have been solved. ''

ON THE RETURN TRIP.
Cleveland OF for Washington.

Cleveland on for Washington.
Chicago, May president Cleveland,
after putting in motion the machinery of
the worlds fair. started on his return
trip to Washington. As soon as the
ceremonies attendant upon the formal
opening of the exposition were over,
President Cleveland, Gov. Altgeld, Mayor
Harrison, the duke of Veragua and other
notables were conducted to the dining
hall on the third floor of the administra-
tion building, where they were entertained
at dinner by the worlds fair officials.
When the dinner was over the party,
with President Cleveland and Director
General Davis in the lead, was conducted
from the administration building and was
driven around the grounds. At the
manufactures building, which was the
first place reached, the presidential party
alighted at the main entrance and walked
from one end Of the monstrous edifice to
the other. From here they drove to the
north end of the grounds, among the
state buildings, and back along the main
drive past the horticultural building to
the south end of the grounds. After
having thoroughly inspected the
White City, President Cleveland and
his party were driven to Grand Crossing,
where they took the train for Wash
ington.
After leaving the exposition grounds
the president went into the private car
of Second Vice President Harahan, of
the Illinois Central railroad, which was
awaiting him under the care of Conductor
II. G. Mccarthy. A parting reception
was held in the car, and for ten minute
exposition officials shook hands and said
ple.sa things to the chief executive
while he in turn thanked them for their
warm reception and assured them that
the exposition was a grand success. While
the reception was in progress a wagon
cite, with six white-capped and white
aproned young ladies, drove up to the
station. They alighted and fastened to
Mr.. Clevland's car. Without ado the
young women stood before the president,
and soon the sweet notes of Let Erin
Remember the Days of Old' tloated out
The singers were three dairy maids and
three sales girls from the Irish village
in Midway Plaisance. President Cleve-
land listened attentively to the music,
and when it was finished showed his APP
probation by thanking each one of the
singers. Then Lord and Lady Aberdeen
presented the president and Secretary
Gresham each q genuine blackthorn cant
and a little gilded Columbian badge,
while they sent to Mrs. Cleveland a deli
cate lace handkerchief made by the girls
in tho Irish VILLAGE.

WORSE THAN LADY MACBETH.

Horrible Details of q Wife's FieRd-
T t0h ard .
The Spanish murder trial which we
report to-day will long hold the field for
horror against all similar stories Of
ancient or modern time. A young and
pretty widow marries a second time
and her husband is a wealthy land
owner still younger than herself. They
quarrel and she determines to get rid
Of him., She incites one of her men
servants to murder him while he sleeps,
promising to reward him with her hand
when he has made her a widow a Sec
ond time, says the London Daily News.
The deed is done at midnight, and!
for the last touch of horror the woman
lights IL: murderer to her husbands,
room and holds the light during the
butchery. The other servants come
into the scheme of the crime in a sub
ordinate capacity. One, a man, is post
ed in the dining room as a sort Of re-
serve while the murderers in chief
creeps toward the sleeping chamber.
The other, a maid, has to wash up
the room after the victim has been
hacked to pieces with an ak. This;
poor creature is not much more than
an unwilling accessory after the fact.
She retains her eason just long enough,
to give particulars Of the crime at
the preliminary inquiry and then be-
comes hopelessly insane.
The details surpass Macbeth in hor-
ror and are barely paralleled by. the
A%gamemnon. The wife used the strong
er brute for the blow, but hers was,
the master mind from first to last. She
II ceived her husband on his return,
sent him to bed and contrived an ex-
cuse for sitting up, watched till he was
fast asleep and primed the murderer
with drink before she led him into. the
room. The first blow was not enough
and it only reused the unhappy crea-
ture to q knowledge Of his fate. He
made a piteous appeal for mercy for
the sake Of the children, and, for one
moment, that seems to have shaken her
iron nerve. She fercely told her fu-
ture bridegroom to let him speak no
more, and thereafter it simply rained
blows, while she still held the light.
The last operation was to throw the
body into a neighboring alley, as though
the man had been robbed and MUIR
dered on his way home.
