SHY OF Chicago

Ir. Fessenden, of the Republican Ma.
tional Committee, has admitted that the
entire committee were put under arrest
at Chicago in 1888 while meeting to take
action to prevent the packing OF the con.
vention with friends OF Judge G Gresham
Everyone who visited Chicago at the
time OF that convention knew the Audi
torium was packed with G reshan's friends,
bat it has only recently leaked out that the
Chicago authorities were on the point of
putting. the members of the National Com
mittee under arrest for daring to attempt
to interfere with their plans, and that this
purpose was not carried out merely be-
cause OF the Interference of several Of Chi
cago's leading citizens.
This tendency to pack conventions with
citizens of the city where the nominations
are made. and who have been worked up TO
the support of some pa rticular candidate.
has been growing for long years. 1t is an
eloquent argument in favor OF holding all
such conventions on the neutral ground of
Washington, where such a performance
would be impossible.

hall solely to the uses of delegates and re.
porters for the press. which would enable
conventions to perform their duty In
dignified manner, and the mObs OF polit-
ical clubs and heelers and hange ers-on
would then stay at home and attend to
their legitimate or illegitimate business.
Mr.. Fessenden declares he will vote
against Chicago every time. With equal
reason he might oppose San Francisco,
Pittsburg, Philadelphia, or, in fact, any
place but Washington.

The official organ of the university, en-
titled 1.-THE Bulletin" has made its ran

shortly at Mcmahon Hall.
"Oh the Teaching OF English" by Mau

educator.
The assembly room of Mcmahon Hall
has lately been handsomely decorated by
numerous oil paintings. formerly in the re-
ception room Of Divinity Hall. On the
rear of the stage is the magnificent por-
trait of Pope Leo XIII, presented TO the
university by himself about four years ago,
and on either side are pastels OF our two
American cardinals, the late Cardinal Nc
Closkey, of New York, and the present

WILL THE PRESIDENT ACT?

As will appear from the news columns of
The Times, there is good reason to believe
the President OF the United States realizes
his duty toward the Cuban patriots, the
cause of freedom and the best sentiment
of the people OF the world and will recon-
mend in his annual message the recogni-
tion of the belligerent rights of Cubans.
If this be President Clcvelands inten-
ton. and if he carry it out without halt
or reservation, he will undo much of the
unpopularity he has earned BY his appar-
ent indifferent attitude toward the Gu
bans while all other good Americans were
demanding some expression from the Ad-
ministration.
OF course, If the President adopts this
bold attitude he will be blamed with har-
boring third term ambitions, but even If
that be his purpose Cuban recognition is
NO less right and urgent. The third term
matter is an entirely separate question
and can be dealt with by ITSELF

DunraveniSmS.

Unless British yachtsmen shall speedily
repudiate this sur upon their American
brethren they cannot escape the odium of
having indorsed the furtive blow dealt by
their cantankerous representative against
the honesty and maniiness of American
sport.-Philadelphia Record.
The PaIl Mniy Gazette says. "If the COM
mittee investigated and found that Lord
Dunraven was wrong they could have de-
clined to race with him again with perfect
propriety, not 10 say that they could have
horsewhipped him with equal prupriety."
Nothing so. seripus as foul play was suS-
gested over here. His complaint came SIM
ply as the casual crankiness of a baG-.em-

has reached the point tn which it has de-

In the present case the extent OF Lord
Dunraven's responsibility can be fixed only
after a competent jury has inquired intu his
sanity.-Ncw York World.
Atprcsent nothing can be said except that
the probabilities nrc that the n. Y. Y. c.,
through a mistaken sense of hospitality,

position. 1t is very late in the day now Tor

Merodepold is the popular name bestowed
by Parisiaus on the preitiest dancer OF the
corps de ballet OF the Paris Opera. THE
story of how she came by IL is an interest
ing one.
The name is a compound of Merode and
Leopold, The prcttiest dancer in the bal
let bears the professional name OF Nile. de
AerUde. Leopold is the name of the King
OF the Beigians.
The two have been so closely associated
OF late In the minds of Parisians that they
were impelied TO give to their dancing IA
vorite q name. which would indicate her
newly acquired greatness and preserve as
well the old one by which they had learned
10 love her. 1t will be generally admitted
that they have shown their usual ingenuity
in constructing this appellatioD.

It's just possible that Gen. Miles has been
too deeply engaged In fighting savages
since the late civil war TO realize the
progress of economical thought, which is
al the base of the labor movement, and it
may be suggested to him that. little
study and observation will convince him
that wage workers are not Indians.

TO the effect that fbey go Ito listen to the

Leopold's practiced eye soon fell on Mile.
de sMerode, the prettiest and one OF the
youngest menbers OF the ballet. The name
she uses belongsto one of the mos. ancient
fansilies in the Kings doninions, 4 FAMILY
of crusading celebrity. 1t is not,4beiiersd
that niademoisellr has any connection with
this family, but the name sounds well.
The acquaintance of the king and the
dunseuse rapidly rpened and was largely
responsible for the very prolonged stay of
the king in Paris. He gave her snppers,
presents, and other marks of esteem. He
was infatuated. He was constant in his
attendance at the opera and very free and
unconlerned in his cvurtship of the dancer.
The king did more for Mile. de Merode than
give her Shippers and presents. Through
his influence the managers of the Theater
Royal de la Mynnale, the great opera house
OF Brussels, offered her the position of
premiere danseuse at a very large salary.
There the king would be able to enjoy her
society without going away from home.
1t is said that she is not likely to accept.
Although not a premiere danseuse, she is
already famous in Paris, and that is the
city where a person Of her kind can enjoy
the greatest permanent success. She has
a fine house, horses and carriages, and
magnificent jewelry. All the princes worth
meeting come 10 Paris at one time or
another.
Mile. de Merode is OF very extraordinary
personal appearance. In the opinion of
sculptors and painters she has an almost
perfect form. She looks and dresses like a
emi-verge-that is, like one Of the curious
women described by Marcel Provost. She
has a cold, serene air, and appears to be
hardy out Of her teens. She undoubtedly
very young.
She drives in the Bois de Boulogne in the
smartest .urnouts and is generally recug-
nized and admired.
