LONDON. August @ 1895.-Mr. Holman,
Secretary of the London Athletic Club, in
an interview this morning denied what Mr..
Herbert, the Secretary of the Amateur Ath-
letic Association affirmed yesterday, that
there were several obstacles in the way of
the selection of team to go to New York.
He admitted, however, that there had
been great deal of delay in the selee ion of
the te am, which could have been avoided,
but he would not say how this could have
been DONE Whatever the reasons for the
delay may have been. however, they seem to
have been overcome as the following team
has been selected and announced by Mr..
Holman.
Hundred yards dash, Bradley and Dow
ner: 440 yards run, Bredin and Fitzherbert;
220 yards run. Downer and Fitzherpert; $50

NEW YORK TAKES 1T UP
A Question of Vital Importance
The Office, Not the In
diyidual.
NEITHER JUDICIAL NOR JU-
DICI0US.

From the Trenton True American
The Newark Evening News" calls
public attention to the action of Wee
Chancellor Pitney in hauling before him
reporter of the News" and ordering
the reporter to surrender his notes of a
trial between an electric railway and a
steam railroad company, and threaten
ing that if any report of the proceed
ings were published he would punish the
reporter for contempt of court if he
published a line of the case.
If the acts are correctly reported, the
Vice Chancellor seems to have laid the
ground for an impeachment rather than
for contempt of court.
The law courts are rather more chary
of interfering with the publicity of their
operations, doubtless out of regard to the
legal right of the public to be informed
as to all public matters and the legal
necessity of conducting all legal pro-
ceedings openly
But equity courts. perhaps by reason
of their extra legal functions, have Of
ten availed themselves of their power to
suppress information concerning matters
before them. In some divorce cases it is
impossible to get any information as to
the proceedings, and in case tried in
this city the master took it upon him
self, at the instance of one of the coun-
sci. to close the doors and refuse admis-
sion to the public or to reporters.
The right of the court to do this has
never been judicially decided, but in the
particular instance complained of by the
Newark News the assertion of the
right was coupled with manifestations
neither judicial nor jud.cious.
We would like to join the News in
its expressions of martyrdom, but in
these days when judges undertake to CO.
cree grand juries and lecture petit ju-
ries. the press must expect to take it's
share of insignificance, if only to empha-
size the overawing Importance of the
judicial branch of the government, and
to italicize the much lauded theory that
our courts are the Ararat on which the
ark of republican government can alone
find resting place.

Uncle Sam VIII Only Notice Overt
Acts by Cuban Rebels.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2, 1S95.-It is not
probable that the statements concerning
the success of the Cuban flibusterers,
published by the Cubans of New York
will be noticed officially by the Adj
ministration. A member of the Cabi-
net. discussing this subject today, said
that the government was doing all it
could do, and was acting in entire good
faith with the Spanish government. He
secuted the idea that any further procla-
nation would be issued by the Pres.-
dent, for the reason that all that could
be said by the President had been said
in the proclamation issued some weeks
ago. The United States was, this off,
cial states, exercising due care to pre-
vent the departure of fikbustering expe-
dit1ons bound for Cuba from any of the
ports of this country, and the machinery
OF the Treasury and Navy Departments
was in motion to that end. The proper
officials were on the lookout, and anyone
violating the neutrality laws would be
promptly apprehended. apd Spain could
not ask this government to go further
than she has gone. The friendship and
unity existing between the two powers
does not require this government to
transform all it's revenue cutters and
its navy into a coast patrol for the ar
rest of supposed expeditions. This Off
cial looks for no more active steps being
taken than these now in operation.
The Cuban manifesto issued in New
York appeared to be the announcement
of an alleged successful landing on the
island and while it was boastful in Its
character, there appeared to him to be
nothing in it that called for the inter-
vention of this government. The COM
mission of any overt act would, on the
other hand. he said be construed quite
differently, but the Cuban sympathizers
seem to understand the difference be-
tween agitation and action. This off,
cial admitted that it would be impossible
for the government to keep its eyes con-
stantly on the sixty-dve millions of
people in this country to such an ex-
tent as to absolutely prevent the depart
ure, here or there, of small contingent,
and especially was this true when it was
apparent that the sympathies of the
greater part of the people were with

a concern suspected as fraudulent. Recently
Wallace Barkley, an agent for the union,
was tried in the General Sessions on charge
of obtaining money under false pretenses.
The jury disagreed. Barkley was the re-
preventative of the company in this city.
The complaining witness was Charles Park
ins who testified chat the company had been
paid S75 by him. The trial brought out evil
dence which indicated that Buckley was
guilty, and the facts were laid before the
Grand Jury whith indicted him.

have located woman who slept in Dur

His mother called to him and asked what

small frame structure and the bedroom
window was about fifteen feet from the
ground.
She raised the window and jumped just
in time to escape the flames. She was
taken to the home of friends where her

A woman's character may general
ly be known by the estimate which
her husband places upon the char
acter of other women.
Miss Willard says: Already
woman is an individual, standing
beside man as her equal partner in
life, love and opportunity; is the
ideal of the typical young American
both male and female so that
man in the home is becoming a new
factor under conditions that make
him joint high priest of that hottest
temple made with hands. The near
err he approaches the cradle, aud the
more frequently, the happier fol
him and for bis home. and for the
state. Habits of impurity will
seem more loathsome in that pres
ense than anywhere on earth. Inc

est can be capable comes as a Sc

A great majority of the disfran-

Elizabeth Cady Stanton ;

The significance of suffrage and
the power of the ballot have been
idealized by statesman, poet, and
and artist alike, each in his own
way. In the heated discussions on
the entranchisement of the Southern
freedmen, Charles Sumner, on the
floor of the senate, said:
"The ballot is the Columbiad OF
our political life, and every citizen
who holds it is a full-armed mont
tor"
Would any of these gentlemen
who think universal suffrage blum
der be willing to surrender his
right, and henceforth be subject to
the popular will, without even the
privilege of protest
Does any thoughtful man really
believe that he has a natural right
to deprive another of the means Of
self.protection, and that he has the
wisdom to govern individuals and
classes better than they can govern
themselves? England's experiment
with Ireland, Russia with Poland
the Southern states with Africans
the Northern states with women,
all prove the impossibility of one
class legislating with fairness.

This is an age of Encyclopedias,

the more valuable for that very
reason.
