bought a controlling interest from Mr..
Harrison's daughters and hopes to keep
The Times well to tho front.
Wilbur Fisk Storey was born in 1919 in
Salisbury, VT, and after working as a
printer In that state, New York city and
Laporte, Ind, established a weekly paper
there. Later he was lawyer, druggist and
postmaster under Polk in jackson, Mich,
founded q paper there and then went to
Detroit, where he became in time propri-
etor of The Free Press and made Ii a great
success. He took the Chicago Times in
1861 and made it SO vigorously aggressive
during the war that General Burnside sup
pressed it. For ~ years after the war he
and The Times had a truly phenomenal
career, the proprietor gaining wealth and
the hatred of many thousands. In 1884
he was adjudeed of unsound mind and a
curator appointed for his estate, after
which tho decline Of The Times was for
awhile almost as rapid as Its rise had been.
Late IN 1884 Mr.. Storey died, and Mr..
Charles bennett became managing editor,
associated with Mr.. Clinton Snowden,
who had held that position with MI.
Storey. There was litigation, and the pa
per became Improbable. Carter Harrison,
being lard pressed by bis many enemies,
bought the paper for a personal organ, as
was supposed. Contrary to tho general ex-
pectaticn, he made it a decided success.
1t continued Democratic. but assumed a
very independent attitude in local affairs
and took on a personal and novel character
generally. The tragic death of Mayor
Harrison was looked or by many as the
beginning of another decline in The
Times, but the results were surprising.
His sons gave a Populist tone to the edi-
~torials, began q vigorous warson the tax
ing system of Chicago and the country
and kept the circulation of The Times up
to the top notch.
Mr.. Kraus, the new owner, is a Demo-
crat of local prominence and a very sue
cessful lawyer. a partner with Judge Mo-
ran, Isaac and Levy Mayer. He managed
for Mr.. Harrison the campaign which
made the latter mayor and received from
him the appointment Of corporation coun-
sci. The mayor had such confidence in
him that he urged him to take control OF
The Times, and it was at the solicitation
of Mr.. Harrison's daughters that he final
ly bought their stock.

REPUBLICAN ENTHUSIASTS N.
Two Kegs of Beer Required to Arouse
il in GrcenYilIe.

The members of the Minkakwa Club
of G~reenville, realizing that last night
would be their last opportunity to shout
for McEwan, Fischer and Frambach, held
a stag racket at Bamber Hall. All the
Republican Clubs in the district were
invited, and when President Reuben
Simpson called the gathering to order
there were only one hundred persons
present. Mayor Armstrong made one
of his usual partisan speeches in opening
the affair, but even the eloquent
Major could not rouse any enthusiasm.
What the Major failed to do, however,
was accomplished by two innocent look
ing kegs which the "boys'' soon ascer-
tanned contained the amber fluid. The
presence of the courage" seemed to
nave a magic effect upon the boys"
and when the muscular young aSpirant
for political honors, Lawyer Isaac Gold
enhorn, grabbed a huge mallet and tap
ped the key, the boys began to shout for
the ticket" and even forgot themselves
so far as to shout for Colonel Fuller. As
glass after glass was passed around the
s.boys'' became more demonStratiye, the
beer seemingly furnishing food for their
enthusiasm. Speeches were also a by
Monroe Simmons, better known a. the
Mayor OF West Bergen" John Ding
wall, Frank Higgins, w. e. Hitchings,
j. K. Hutchinson, Lawyer Isaac Golden
horn and Alderman Wilson.

WOMEN's CLUBS TO FEDERATB
A Call Issued for a Convention to be
Held I'm Orange.
S,1ecidI to the Jersey C1ty Neiul

SDCCtuL u ttC C6focB Ot4 4SSWcs
In accordance with the impulse and
the spirit of the times, it is deemed adj
visable to organize a State Federation
of Women's Clubs in New Jersey, for
the purpose of uniting them in a stronger
bond of sympathy and fellowship and OF
bringing the benefits of organization
more closely home to the individual as
ISOLATION thai can BIS accomplished
through the General Federation alone.
The Woman's Gu of Orange has been
asked to AXE the initiative in this move
ment and invites every Woman's GU in
New Jersey-whose main object is the
culture and improvement of its members
and of humanity-to convene for the pur-
pose of considering q State Federation
and if deemed advisable to form such a
federation, at its club rooms in the
Women's Christian Temperance Union
Building, corner of Main and Commerce
streets, Orange, on Friday, November
16, at 10 A. M.
Each club is requested to send two
delegates with power to act. The Wom-
ans Club of Orange will entertain the
delegates al luncheon and provide for
those who come from a distance.
It is hoped there will be a hearty re-
Spouse from every club and that the
smaller and younger clubs as well as the
larger ones will cooperate in forming
this State Federation.

seur's, her dress always fits we'll and heI
hair always hicn coiffe, and she could be
converted into a society queen, SO far as
her .'style' is concerned, by merely ex-
changing her simple attire fer o costly
one. All Pa%risiennes are; however, not
Paris born, but the mere fact of living
there for any length of time seems to CON
vert a frumpy provincial into a stylish
woman.
Whatever may be the cause Of it, it is
certain that the Partisan woman is clever
er than any other ct giving cheap goods
and inexpensive trimmings an air OF dis
tinguished fashion. She does not rush to
extremes, bat selects such details of the
mode as best suit her personally, and so
adjusts AID adapts them that they become
individual, and wililo bce costume Is up to
date it Is not q replica of that Of every
other roman she meets. A good effect is
not marred in her eyes by tho fact that it
is not costly; but, on tho other hand, she
Is able to produce q good effect with
mediocre means, while another woman
would utterly fail.
A sketch Is given of q pretty but simple
French gown OF crepon. The tlaring skirt
has a godct back and is trimmed at either
side of the front With two lengtliwise bands
of gailoon. The round bodice is gathered
at the neck and waist and has a c~orselet
belt Of crepon. A band of galIoon outlines
a round yoke from which descend bretelles
of GALLON. The tight sleeves have full
puhs similarly trimmed.

O aid Western mariners as those OF the

the Pacific coast a good beginning has
been made. In the great stretch of A.
500 miles between a Francisco n
Yokohama every obtainable bit of infor-
nation interesting to navigators is given
with exceeding nicely of detail.
For instance, a single floating log. in

in September. A dangerous derellct is

SUIT FOR MILLIONS sQUELoHED.
The Blodgett Claim to a Large Par
of Washington Denied.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 8, 1884,
The Court of Appeals has rendered a de-
cision which practically disposes of the
celebrated Blodgett claim, which has
clouded titles to real estate in the finest
residential part of the city fer fifty
years or more. The claim covered five
hundred acres of land in the heart of the
scity, which, with the improvements,
would exceed ten million dollars in value
The decision was that the Bledgett
claimants at the time had forfeited all
right or claim to the property by an
agreement into which they had entered
with an organized trust company of
Philadelphia to prosecute the claim to the
Washington ground. Champerty being
in the eyes of the Court contrary to
public interest 1t was a~djudged that the
Biodgetts had forfeited all right or claim
to the property.
AS the single suit brought was typical
of the whole claim, the adverse decision
of the Equity Court set the title to the
whole tract at rest, but the case was
appealed to the Court of Appeals, and
the decision handed down by Justice
Shepard yesterday puts a further quietus
upon it.

PREHISTORIC FINDS.

Several interesting discoveries regarding
prehistoric man have been announced. The
remains recently found in Switzerland show
the existence in the neolithic age of a race
of pvgnlies in Europe. Herr Mascha has UNI
earthed with a few days in Moravia many re-
mains of m~annmoths, and with them the
skeletons of a whole human family almost
gigantic in size. The discovery seems to
settle the disputed point whether man was
coexistent with the mammoth. In Guatemala
an explorer reported the discovery in an ancient
mound Of many small jars, each containing
the remains of a little finger from the hui
man hand. II is supposed to have been the
custom Of mourners in some prehistoric race
to make this Notwithstanding.
