TIDES SAVE MILLIONS.

Do Work for New York That Costs
Baltimore Money.
New York is blessed in a peculiar
way twice a day by the rising and fall
Ing of the tide. By cleaning our docks
and slips, the tide saves the city mil
lions of dollars every year. 1t carries
away countless tons of floating refuse
and puriffes the sewage of thousands
of pipes whose ends, projecting be-
yond the wharves, discharge into the
river and harbor. Low lying seaboard
cities, such as Baltimore, for instance,
are not so fortunate in this respect as
New York, and when one reads of the
never-ending struggle against refuse in
the harbors of other cities he appre-
clates in new degree one more advan-
tage of the metropolis. To keep clean
the water in the docks requires big
force of men in Baltimore. where early
every morning squads of men in boats
and scoWs sail around the harDor,
sklmming from the surface of the wa
ter the refuse that has accumulated IN
the twenty-four hours previous. From
nve to fifteen carloads of watermelon
and cantaloupe rinds, pieces of WOOD
and bits of cotton are gathered daily
Just now. The skimming force gets to
work just before sunrise and finishes
its work before the real traffic along
the shore front begins. The men are
armed with long-handled scoop-nets,
with which they gather every floating
thing that is out of place. 1t must be
that Baltimore inhabitants make it
point of sitting on the wharves when
they eat watermelons, else how could
fifteen carloads of rinds accumulate IN
twenty-four hours! Baltimore's skim
ming gangs scoop up, too, considerable
refuse that is thrown overheard by
steamers and other boats that sail IN
the harbor. Around New York's water
front refuse is dumped overheard from
boats, ships and ocean liners in pro-
digious quantities. The stuff floats
around for a few hours, but after an
ebb of the tide the water is clear and
pure. 1t is fresh from the ocean, for
the fall of the tide at New York-from
four to six feet-is so great that the
whole body of water around the city is
changed twice a day.-New York Re-
corder.

GETTING THICKER.
Electricians Go Out and Finally Tie Up
Philadelphia Car Lines.


PHILADELPHIA Dec. 19-The cleo
tricians of the Second and Third street
branches struck today and consequently
the entire machinery of the road was
stopped. The electricians of the electric
traction branch employed at the
power house at Delaware ave-
nue. and Beach street also went
out today and the machinery there is
stopped. The electricians have been of
fered increased pay if they will return
t. work. The unusual spectacle of pee
licemen in citizens clothes, whose only
visible badge of authority is a silver
shield and a big thick stick, attracts
much attention and many del
at i'''' the recruit recruits. Some Son of Fuf the
specials" are very much impressed
with their importance, and it is feared
that they will make trouble by injudici-
ously poking citizens in the ribs with
their clubs and ordering them to
move on"
The office of the United States marshal
was a busy place today the notice to the
effect that deputies were wanted having
attracted hundreds of men anxious to
join the service of Uncle Sam.
Trolley mail cars were not interfered
with this morning. 1t is probable that
the presence in each one of them of one
or more men armed with rifles had q de-
terring effect on the strikers and their
sympathizers.
The strikers and their friends are firm
and defiant and the traction company
and public officials are firm and deter
mined.
How long this condition of affairs can
exist without serious riot and bloodshed
depends upon the temper of the strikers
and their friends and sympathizers.
| There is no doubt but the strike leaders
are making every effort to preserve the
peace and induce the strikers to refrain
! from any riotous demonstration.
! Mayor Warwick, Director of Pub
lie Safety Butler, Superintendent
Linden spent last night in the city hall,
sleeping on temporary couches. All of
the police captains and large force of
patrolnen were massed on the top floor
| of the city hall ready for any emergency.
An official of the traction company esti-
mates that the strikers are losing $4,000
day in wages and the company not less
than $4,000.
A crowd which had blocked Market
street near the postotfice this afternoon
threatened to attack some street cars
and was charged by mounted police and
dispersed, after number of
heads had been bruised with the officers
| batons.
A boy was so badly injured in the
crush that he may die. An elderly wo-
man was also seriously hurt.

MYSTERY IS SOLVED.
Now 1t Has Been Ascertained who
Struck Billy Patterson"

Now It Has Been Ascertained Who
Struck Billy Patterson"
Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin: A
slang phrase of some forty-fve or fifty
years ago was embodied in the question
of who struck Billy Patterson" This
was for a long time a famous phrase
in America. 1t was used on almost
every occasion, and on no occasion but
was accepted as something funny. The
origin of this phrase is known, and it
is as follows: About fifty years ago in
one Of our medical colleges probably in
New York state) the students had
trick of hazing every new man who en-
tered the notwithstanding new in
college life, however. They would tie
him hand and foot, and carry him be-
fore mock tribunal, and there try him
for some high crime with which they
charged him. He would be convicted,
of course, and sentenced to be led to
the block and decapitated. A student
named William Patterson came along
in time and was put through the court
and sentenced in the same solemn and
impressive manner. He was blindfold-
ed and led to the block and his neck
placed in position. The executioner
swung his axe and buried it into the
block, allowing it, to be sure, to go no.
where near Patterson's head. The STU
dents laughed when the trick was at
an end, but Patterson was dead. He
had died from what medical men call
Shock All the students concerned
in the haZing were put under arrest.
and the question on the matter of sup
posed assault came up: who struck
Billy Patterson On the trial it was
shown that nobody struck him, but the
medical students retained the impress
sion, and it soon took its pace as a
slang phrase. and held it, too, for a long
long time.

When Man Deserts Her.

It has always been mans preroga-
tive, says the Philadelphia Times, to
depart from the scene of action that is
offensive to him. In the event of a
domestic diatribe he reaches for his
hat. if he chooses to do so, slams the
door, if he chooses to do SO, halls the
passing street car and departs. He re-
turns when he gets ready. With due
sense of appreciation of his response
bilities he rarely avails himself Of his
privileges I may even not refrain
from saying that the amazing thing
about it all is that he does not go oft
ener. When a man plays the role of a
deserter he is rarely written about in
the newspapers. The telegraph wires
state the situation briefly but they
rarely tingie with mystery. The world
winks the other eye, and the deserted
wife takes in sewing or washing or any
thing she can get to support the chill
dren. She has no deputy to send post
haste after the desterter and bring him
back to the town calabOose in chains
and disgrace. She lets him go and the
neighbors come in and loan their shoul-
sders for her to weep on for an nOur or
two and then they comfort her by tell
ing her she is better off without him
and she generally agrees with them.

FORT SCoTT Dec. 19.-For thirty-four

falling here and the Marmaton river and
Mill creek are out of their banks and the
lower portion of the city is under water.
Many families along the river bottoms
have been driven out The Goodlander
Milling company has been compelled to
close down its mills which has not
been necessary since they were built.
The Missouri Pacific depot is inaccessi-
BILE, and the water is creeping up to the
shops. Some of the lower streets are
under water
The rain is continuing as steadily as
at the start, aud the streams are rapidly
rising. The flood is unprecedented at
this season of the year.
The water will be higher than during
either of the three destructive floods
last summer in one of which two lives
were lost. Four inches of water have
fallen since the storm began.

WHO WILL Do 1T?
Topeka Wants a First-Class
Base Ball Club.
Will Anyone Have the Enter
prise to Form One?
OTHER SPORTINGNEW
Moore and Purtell Matched for
a Finish Fight.
McHenry will Manage Monroe
Salisbury's Stable.

Is Topeka to have a professional base
ball club the coming season?
This is question many local enthusi-
asts of the diamond are already asking,
and it is very difficult one to answer
correctly.
1t is said by those who would natural
ly be expected to support such an enter
prise that Topeka will not furnish sutf
Gent patronage to base ball to make it
pay.
There has been no evidence in the
past, however, that such a statement is
true. To be sure the "fans" of Topeka
will not pay out good money to witness
such rank exhibitions of ball playing as
were given last year at Athletic park,
but how about Goldsby's Giants and
Dick Cooley's club? There was never
game played by either of those mines
that WAS not we'll patronized.
No, the people of Topeka are disgust
ed with second and third class sporting
events and will not support them any
longer.
If some one had the enterprise to pur-
chase a good base ball club for Topeka
next year, one equal to any club in the
Western league, he would undou btedly
make the investment pay, but it is I'M
reasonable to expect people to support a
club composed of third rate country
players such as composed Harry Notes
nine last season.

Wheat-Although cables were higher
this morning both from Liverpool and
the continent they were without palpa-
BILE effect upon values.
The start was weak one on the curb
and when the regular session opened &c
had been clipped from yesterdays clos
ing figures.
This weakness appeared to have as
first cause the presidents message TO
congress yesterday and the fact that god
is going out of the country again. There
was heavy selling of railway stocks by
tho foreign element on Wall street which
accounts for the expectation of the yell
low metal. Holders of wheat were
quite naturally discouraged over this
prospect. Clifford was the greatest seller
of the morning and disposed of 10000
bushels; at the same time Cudahy Was a
good buyer and picked up lot of wheat
On the decline. This was unquestiona-
bly, short wheat showing profit. The
news of the day was incidentally favora-
BILE for better market when one coEsid-
ers the advices at hand from a routine
standpoint.
For ms: ance the Cincinnati Price Cur
rent stated that winter wheat was not
making any too great progress. The
ground Is still bare OF covering.
1t is sill raining hard all over the west
and should hard freeze set in the plant
which is tender will doub tless suffer
some damage.
This was a consideration that, although
not overlooked by traders was without
effect. Then again the clearance5 were
very good at 500, 900 bushels IN wheat
and flour, but tell fiat owing 10
the causes mentioned elsewhere. Last
cables were all steady. After sell
ing down to SO cents there was a
display of strength made in December or
cash, showing that somebody was willii 6
to buy at the reduction and the break
was temporarily checked There was a
lot of long wheat sold out today and with
a cessation of gold shipments it is natural
that values should have a rally before
another decline.
Corn and oats-The situation in corn
remains unchanged, although there is
some signs of movement near at hand.
The price is extremely low ana May
bought at CSC with a fair margin and
patience will reward holders.
Provisions-Dull and featureless with
small business transacted.

The Abilene Statesman interviewed
at Kansas City.
KANSAS CITY, Dec 19-J. Ralph Bur
ton, of Abilene, is at the Coates house.
He came in yesterday and will remain
today and speak at the Commercial club
banquet this evening.
Concerning the presidential campaign
he said:
There are four candidates who are
in the race. They are Tom Reed, Major
Mckinley, Senator Allison, and Senator
Davis, of Minnesota I do not believe
that Mr. Harrison will be a candidate,
nor do l believe that he will enter the
field as the supporter of any other can
didate. It is too early yet to say what
the platform will be. Protection
will be a main issue, possibly the
dominant one. The party will take a
decisive stand on the financial question,
and on that point and others Will enun-
ciate its cardinal principles. Briefly
stated, the platform will be a clean, pos
tive, strong Republican platform, and
any one of the four gentlemen named, if
nominated on the platform, will be
elected.
at looks as though Reed and McKin-
ley were the leading candidates, al
though Senator Allison has strong and
positive strength, especially in the west.
"Major Mckinley would make an ex-
ceedingly popular candidate with the
Republicans of the country, and his
nomination would tend to emphasize the
tariff issue. Mckinley is very strong
with the people at large.
tom Reed, as he is Familiarity called,
is regarded by many as the most brainy
man in either branch of the American
congress. He has not made the ex-
fonHad inn, NJ n i0lau ba
made, but his strength is of that positive
character that would make itself felt in
a convention.
Senator Allison. as is we'll known.
came very near getting the Republican
nomination for president in 1888 and has
grown constantly since that time IN the
estimation of the people and
in popular favor, and, in case
of long fight in the convention, he has
splendid catching qualities. He is
western man with western ideas, and in
sympathy with the west, and he is looked
upon as safe, conservative man, with
splendid prospects.
SENATOR Davis, of Minnesota, is not SO
well known as the others. and yet he is
very strong man in the states of the
northwest He is regarded as the best
judge of law in the senate and one of the
best in the land. regard him as man
splendidly equipped for the position. [
am told by his friends that he is posi-
tive candidate and will go into the con-
vention to try to win.
"The party can win great victory in
the next campaign, with any one of the
four gentlemen as its leader.
81 cannot say. whom Kansas will
be for In the campaign and at
the convention. There has been
no general expression of opinion as
yet that should warrant any conclusion
on that subject Personally, expect to
have but little to do with the matter, as
at that time I shall be occupied with
other matters. There is no doubt of Kan
sas being Republican state in the test
do not believe the Republicans of the
state would be grjevously disappointed
with the nomination of any one of the
four men,"

CALAMITY, SURE ENOUGH,



MEDICINE LODGE, Dec. 19.-An Indi-
ana capitalist wrote to Jerry Simpson
asking if there was an opening for an
electric light plant at Medicine Lodge.
Simpson replied as follows:
Mr.; o. C. Irwin, Greenfield, Ind.
DEAR SIR:-In reply to yours of Nov.
18th, in which you want information in
regard to a location for an electric light
plant, will say that Medicine
Lodge is not the place you are
looking for, for several reasons: first, not
sufficient population and all too poor,
can hardly afford to buy oil. Too much
protection and gold standard has done US
up; corn 10 cents and everything else in
proportion.
Give Us free silver and free trade and
then you can come out west with your
electric light plant; we need it, but at
present we can stand it to read our
mortgages by the light of the lucent
corn fire. Truly Yours,
JERRY SIMPSON.
