A noted American singer is fond of
telling of little experience she had in
Boston once upon time. She was to
sing at an evening concert, and a car
riage was to be sent for her. She was
staying at the time with a friend, who
had a suite of rooms in large apart
ment house, in which the tube system
of communication with the outer
world prevailed. It was past the time
when the carriage should have ap-
peared, and the lady was growing a
little nervous. She was sitting with
her wraps or, when the bell rang fu-
riously. Hurrying to the tube herself
the prima donna said;
"Wen?"
The reply came in a voice heavily
charged with irritation.
I'm a hackman,' said the voice, an
I was sent here to git some cussed
lady, an I don't know what in time
her name is! I've rung ev'ry bell in
this house! Are you her?"
When informed that the ''cussed
LADY, herself was speaking to him he
cody replied:

MAY FIGHT AT GALVESTON

Dan Stuart d Considering Proposition to
Bring the Big Go ON on an Island.
DALLAS, Texas, July 19.-Galveston
wishes the Corbett- Fitzsimmons glove
contest pulled off on that island. The
capitalists and business men of that
city have appointed a committee to
come to Dallas and make a proposition
to President Stuart of the Florida
Athletic club. President Stuart said
that Galvesten's proposition was a lib
eral one, including ground and build
ing free, and that he would go there
Saturday to see about it. He says
there is strong opposition to the fight
at Dallas, threats having been made to
stop the construction of the amphi-

begun. The contracts for the fight,
Stuart says, read ssTexas,'' and not
''Dal1as,'' and there will be no compli-
cation in a change of location.

decision will affect laws of other states
than West Virginia unless reversed by
the higher court.

Chief Harris in Washington.

WASHINGTON, July 19.-Chief Harris
of the Cherokee nation is here looking
after Cherokee matters. He is anxious
to have the old settlers paid the $780,

receive little more, as, in his opinion,
$780, 900 is an exOrbitant attorney fee
for securing the payment of the claim.
Mr.. Harris will endeavor to get this
fee reduced but will probably have a
hard time of it.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, April 10, 1S95.-Presi-
dent Cleveland has removed the last YES
tige of doubt as to there being split in
in the national democratic party and has
virtually announced himself to be the
candidate Of the single gold standard
wing of the party. This created no sur
prise in Washington. This has BEEN
foreshadowed in this paper for mOntIx
past. Whether both wings will insist en-
calling themselves the democratic party,
or the silver democrats will join the PEE
ulists, or the Sibley silver party, is not
yet plain. 1t will depend largely upon
the effect Of President Cleveland declaF-
alton upon the rank and file Of the deIne-
cratic party in the south, and that effect
will in turn depend somewhat upon the
result of the campaigns now being waged
in the states of Illinois and Kentucky
President Cleveland and his followers BE-
lieve that if the silver element in the
demOcraticpa party in thOsetwo states eantes
beaten this year, that the bulk of the DEM
Ocratic party in the south will aceeVt
President Cleyeland's financial Ideas and
will support him for president again.
The whole power Of the administration
is to be used against the silver democrats
in those two states. 1t is already ceE--
tain that three members of the cabinet
Carlisle, Wilson, and Gresham-will take
the stump against silver.
The administration also proposes TO
fight silver in the south. A southern
democratic anti-silyer convention is to be-
held at Memphis, Tenn, on May 22r
at which the principal address is to te
delivered by Secretary Carlisle. Repre-
sentative Patterson, of Tennessee, who
was in Washington this week cOnferring
with President Cleveland and the other
members of the administration, says
every southern state will be largely rep
resented at that convention, which is to
be he says, made the beginning of an ag-
gressive campaign against silver in the
south.
OF course the public has long ago
ceased to expect anything beneficial or
courageous from the democratic admins
tratiOn, but it was hardly prepared for
the admission of absolute helplessness
made by Secretary Morton, when he said:
IF anything is done to bring relief from
beef extOrtiOns now going forward. the
papers will have to do it." Can you i'm
agine any combination Of circumstances.
that would have made Secretary MOrtOn's
predecessor at the head Of the department.
