NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The James G. Blaine club Of New
York on Wednesday night black balIed
Edward 5. Flow because he is negro.
The Quay victory in Pennsylvania is
said to mean boom for Reed for Presi-
dent. Magee 81 Co. were for Mckinley
and Quay for Reed.
Col. Breckenridge evidently considers
Miss Pollard the Delilah responsible for a
probable overthrow of the Democratic
temple in Kentucky. Washington Star
SENATOR Gordon says that he didn't
go to Gray Gables ard therefore he is
not ''the Southern Senator" to whom
Mr.. Cleveland gave "the marble heart y
Miss Annie S. Peck, of Providence,
now shares with Miss Brevoort, of New
York, and Miss Carrel, the daughter
of Swiss guide, the honor among
women of having climbed the Matter
horn.
No wonder the attorneys for the own
ers Of the Mora claim worked so hard for
their clients, for nearly half of the
money, 5000, 600, is to go to the lawyers
Both parties seem to be satisfed-Mora
less, says the Boston Herald.
The New York Herald has found by
actual count that those who ride bicycles
in that city on a recent Sunday outnum-
bered the persons who drove horses by
five to one 1t used to be that the rich
rode in their chaises on Sunday and the
poor walked.
Toole, the English actor, sitting at
table next to a gentleman who had

bread, took it up and began to cut a
slice from it. Sir" said the gentleman,
THAT is my bread" 81 beg thousand
parions, sir, :" replied Toole. 81 declare
mistook it for the loaf"
The New York SUMS opinion of the
situation in the Blue Grass State is thus
summed up: 1.-THE Kentucky sound
money Democrats are between the devil
of Gen. Hardin and the deep sea of the
Republican candidate, and the silver
Democrats are between the devil Of party
defeat and the deep sea of Gen. Hardin. P"
IT matters little which s.'gang" wins in
Pennsylvania. When Quay was State
Treasurer he used the public funds
which friends repaid. The ''hog com.
bine" fieeced the State and city on con-
tha xr,o,
not so immense, the venality of the two
Republican crowds would put Pennsyl-
vania in the Democratic column where
it was until protection" reduced the
iron and coal miners.
1t has usually been supposed that when
man owns land his ownership extends
to the sky; but such seems not to be the
case in Chicago, at any rate. 1t seems
that capitalist in that city who recently
wished to erect building 200 feet high
was confronted by law limiting the
height Of buildings. Chicago is certainly
the last place where one would imagine
that any such restriction exists. Accord
ing to correspondent in the New York
World, the limit in Chicago is one and a
half times the width of the street.
Medical authorities on the continent
have again been aroused to keen interest
by the reports of further experiments for
the cure of consumption, by method
resembling in some respects that Of Dr.
Koh. The investigator is Prof. Marrag-
LENA, of the University of Genoa, who
read paper on the subject last week to
the Medical Congress at Bordeaux, Civ

substances, extracted from very viruleni
cultures of human tuberculosis and capa
