DILAPIDATED OLD BUNG HOLES.

Funny Story Told by Gov. Waite at Ex-
pense of the Old Parties.
The funniest story told by Governor
Waite last night was new in Topeka. AS
he told it it was meant to represent how
far both old political parties had depart
ed from their foundation principles.
1t was said that farmer back in Penn
sylvania had a barrel that was 100 years
old which had been in constant use and
q mau who was travelling through the
country heard about it and decided that
he would go TO see it.
The owner met him at the door
81 understand that you have very old
BARREL" said the visitor. 81 would like
to see it,.
''All right, come right in" and the
owner led the way to an inner room.
There stood the barrel and the visitor
at once began TO examine it, After he
had examined the heads closely, he
said:
"Why, my dear sir, these heads are
surely not 100 years old. They appear
new"
'Oh, forgot to tell you before you
came in that thoss heads are new. In
1888 the old heads gave out ana we put
in new ones. Yes, those are new heads "
"And these staves," contin ued the Wis.,
tor as he went on with his examination.
"They look new, too"
"Um-yes. those slaves are not zoe
years old. that ID true. In 1899 some of
the old stavesgwere broken and we put
in new set of staves.'
The visitor went on looking. 1.-THE
hoops here havs very recent look. Are
they 100 years old?"
We'll, to tell the truth in 1892 some of
the hoops we're broken and I had to
have new hoops put on all around"
We'll | would like to know" said the
visitor what there is about the barrel
that is 100 years old?"
''The bung holes are"
That is just the way it is with the two
old parties said Governor Waite they
are nothing but couple of dilapidated
old bung holes.

FEW INDIANS RETURNING
LARGER NUMBERS GOING IN TRAN
LEAVING THE RESERYATIoN.

The Seventeenth Infantry Left Market
Lake asst Night on Their March for the
Spene of the Troubles SCOUTS Report That
all seems to be Peaceful.
Salt Lake, July 29.-It is reported that
a few Indians are returning to the Ban
mock reservation from Jacksons Hole,
but much larger numbers are pouring in
than leaving. At 2 o'clock this after
noon the special train bringing trans
portation facilities for the infantry in
their march across the country arrived
at Market Lake. Two hundred and fif-
ty men of the Seventeenth infantry
tonight, but owing to the roughness OF
the road it will take them longer than
expected to complete the march of over
hundred miles.
Arrivals from Soda Springs this morn
ing report the Indians as leaving the
Hole by way of Gray's Lake and Soda
Springs over the old Lander trail. When,
the soldiers reach Jackson's Hole there
will probably not be an Indian in sight.
Market Lake, July 20 Cby courier from
Sargeants Lodge).-To-day several
Jackson's Hole exiles came into camp
from Cunningham's camp twenty miles
north Of Marysvale and in the heart Of
the war country. Cunningham says
the settlers have had number of scouts
out. three having reported numerous In
diam camps, but that all seems to be
peaceful. He experienced no difficulty
in coming out.

All Cases Dismissed.

New York, July 29-The grand jury
to-day reported that it had examined
eight cases of people killed in this city
by New York, New Haven and Hartford
trains, all of which 1t had dismissed.
The jury found that In each case death
was due to the negligence Of the people
killed, but considered that some remedy
should be applied by the railroad to pre-
vent such accidents. The jury said the
railroad yards were very dangerous
places and every effort should be made
to guard the public and to prevent ac-
cidents occurring to employees.

She Engaged as Governess for Three Years

Not Disclosed Attorney Matthew
man and Superintendent Preston Refuse
to Talk.
New York, July 29.-At the office of
the Austrian consul, Otto P. Everhard,
to-day, it was said that the young
woman who called there last week
and had asked advice regarding what
action she could take against her for
mer employer in New Haven told her
consul that eight months ago in Carls-
bad, Germany, she met doctors fam
| lily. The DOCTOR she alleged, entered in

where he is now practicing physician,
The contract stipulated that she should
be employed as governess for a period
of three years, at salary of $14 a
month for the first year, SIG month
for the second year and SIS month
for the third year.
A short time ago, the woman said,
she was discharged without reason,
and was only paid for the eight months
time she had worked. The woman also
alleged that she had been iH-treated
and that the physician had severely
beaten her.
The consul informed her that he
could do nothing for her, and advised
her to go back to New Haven and be-
gin action against her employer for the
recovery of the money which was al
legged to be due her per contract. The
woman's name is not known to the
consul here, and he says he does not
know the name of the doctor whom
the woman says employed her.
The woman referred to spent nearly
an hour with Superintendent Preston OF
the Associated Charities in conference

THE ENGLIsH, ELECTIONS.
There Is shown Big Gain by the Unionists
and Liberals.


London, July 29.-With the exception
OF the polls in three districts the result
of the general election is known. The
districts yet to be heard from are the
east division Of Donegal, the south divi-,
sion of Londonderry court and Orkney
and Shetland In 1892 East Donegal re-
turned an anti-Parnellite by a majority
of 763, the south division of London
derry county returned liberal union
list by majority of SOL and Orkney
and Shetland returned a liberal by a
majority Of 1003. The result in these
districts will make but a slight differ
ence in the political complexion of the
new house of commons. Elections were
held to-day in the first two, but the
poll will not be declared until to-mor-;
row. The election in Orkney and Shet-s
land will take place in August.
The returns show the election of 338
conservatives, 72 uniohists 176 liberals.
So anti-Parnellites and 70 Parnellites.
Thus the conservative liberal unionist
majority, subject to the results in the
three divisions to be heard from will
be 1853. The conservative majority over
any condition will be 9.
The unionists have gained 110 seats
and the liberals 20.

Not Likely That the Free Silver Men VIII

Columbus, o., July 29.-As the time
of the democratic state convention
draws near the situation becomes in
volved and the result difficult to predict
Both Ex-Governor Campbell and Con-
gressman Sorg have now declared un-
equivocally and emphatically that they
will not accept the nomination for gov
ernor. UP to this time it was gener-
ally regarded as certainty that one
of these gentlemen would be chosen to
lead the ticket.
With these out of the race it seems
to be anybody's race, but Senator Brice
whose interests in the campaign are
paramount will probably control the
convention. Possibly John H. Thomas
of Springfield, or Neal r. Hysell of this
It. is not at all likely that the free
silver men will control the convention,
nor that there will be any considerable
number of free silver delegates in the
convention, but they are determined and
bold and it is expected that being de-
feated in the committee on resolutions
they will carry the fight upon the
floor.
An attempt will be made to condemn
Senator Brice for his coinage views,
but the convention will probably re-
ject such a resolution and endorse his
course in a general way.

Platteburg, N. Y, July 29.-The fourth
week of the Summer School of America
opened to-day with a boom. Several
noted speakers are to deliver addresses
this week. Rev. DR.. ]. A. Zahn to-day
lectured on Evolution" In the course
of his remarks he said that it seemed
difficult if not impossible to ignore the
fact that some kind of evolution had OBJ
tanned in the formation of the universe
and in the development of the forms
of life with which our earth is peopled.
He asserted that there was no conflict
between science and the Catholic
church. A magnificent reception was
rendered Bishop Beavens of Springfield
this evening.
