CEREMONIES AT CHICAGO.
All the arrangements Made for the Pre-
7nieT'S Funeral

AT the arrangements Made for the Pre-
naier's Funeral.
CHICAGO, ILL, May 29.-United States
Marshal John w. Arnold has been placed
in charge of the local arrangements for the
interment of the late Secretary Gresham.
Only in a general way has he arranged
for the march to the cemetery tomorrow.
Colonel Corbin will reach Chicago at 7
A. NJ, and the Marshal and General Merritt
will meet him on arrival and the pro-
gramme will then be definitely arranged.
AS contemplated tonight there will be
no attempt at display. 1t is probable that
the only troops participating in the escort
will be the cavalry and artillery from Fort
Sheridan. The infantry will be brought
to the city with the others at O'Clock in
the morning and their participation will
depend upon the wishes of Colonel Corbin.
During the afternoon Marshal Arnold
ane General Merritt had conference with
A. A. Sprague, the local representative of
the Gresham family. They arranged for
the interment at Oakwoods, and for an un-
dertaker to meet the funeral train at Sixty
third street with a state hearse drawn by
six black horses.
The honorary pall-bearers, the city Off
Gals, the comfy judiciary and the Loyal
Legion will join in the escort at that place.
A meeting of the Judges of the United
States courts and the local government
officials was called late this afternoon and
twenty honorary pallbearers selected
among them being: William A. Woods
]. G. jenkins, ]. W. Showalter, Judges of
the United States Circuit Court; Romance
Bum, William D. Allen, William H. Sea-
man, Judges of the United States District
Court; Henry w. Blodgett, retired Judge
of the United States District Court; w. G.
Ewing, Robert j. Tuthill, Judges of the
State court.
The Loyal Legion was requested to fur
nish the active pallbearers.
The funeral train will reach Chicago at
the -third-street crossing of the
Illinois Central Railroad tracks, and the
funeral cortege will move from there to
Oakwoods. at special meeting of the
City Council to-day it was decided to
attend the funeral in body.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 29.-Owing
to the great number of applications that
have been received from persons anxious
to visit the American warships at the
naval demonstrations at Kiel, Secretary
Herbert has been obliged to issue an order

fleet, for his guidance in the matter. By
its terms he may admit visitors to his YES

Plat and Reed.

Boss Plat OF New York Is a promoter
Of the Reed presidential boom. Many OF
the leading republican politicians OF New
York are pretty well agreed that he is
laboring assiduously to the end of con-
trolling the New York delegation in the
republican convention in Mr. Reeds in
terest. And they are also pretty well sat
isied that in working for Mr.. Reed. Mr..
Plat is working for himself. He is sell
dom an entirely disinterested political
worker.
What docs Mr.. Plat want? Several Of
the republican newspapers and Senator
John Sherman say that it is his ambition
to be the Secretary of the Treasury. and
that he has harbored that ambition and
striven to crafty it ever since he follow
ed Roscoe Conkling out Of the Senate in
1851. In 1854 he was an earnest advocate
OF Mr.. Blaine, for the reason that he be-
leved he could induce Mr.. Blaine to give
him the portfolio he desired in the event
of Mr.. Blaine's success. In 1885. accord
ing to Senator sherman's book. Mr.. Plat
thought he had a binding bargain with
President Harrison. But ex-Gov. Cornell
wrote the President long letter giving
him an account Of Mr.. Platts career,
and the President declined to have him
connected with his administration. In
1892 Mr.. Piatt was Blaine man in the
convention, with the same old purpose
in view Of obtaining the secretaryship
through him.
Harrison. Mckinley and Reed are the
leading candidates for the republican
nomination. After having been turned
down 10y Gen. Harrison once, the New
York boss has nothing to hope for from
him. He is. therefore, an ant-Harrison
man. Mckinley, it is said, proposes to
get the nomination. if he gets it at all.
untrammeled by promises to politicians
of the Plat class. He Is said to be espe-
cially wary of the New Yorker. Mr..
Piatt is. therefore. not a Mckinley man.
He is for Reed. Can he get a grapevine
einch on the Maine man? VIII the ex-
speaker pledge the treasury portfolio for
the delivery of the New York delegation
to him7 To judge entirely from the com
ments OF the New York republican pa
pers. it seems that Mr.. Plat has the
idea that he can manipulate the big

The NEGRO Not In IL.

The republican party is on top in Mary
land. and in the city Of Baltimore. But
the black voter. now and for many years
the backbone Of the party in the southern
states, has no share In the spOils OF vic
tory. The republican party dearly loves
the black man. right up to election day.
But when the election is over. the party's
tender solicitude Tor the colored man dis
appears-uEul another election ap-
proaches.
The new sheriff Of Baltimore is a repub-
lcan. The other day he declined to ap-
point a black man as one of his deputies
He went even further. and told a deputa-
ton of negroes that no person of their
race could have an Office at his hands
1t is alleged that the sheriT's action was
taken in the way of carrying out a pledge,
and the story is that the pledge was a
result of one of Senator Germans cam
paign schemes. The senator, it is said, as
a part of his electioneering tactics,
charged that if the republicans were sue
cessful they would fill all of the appoint
i've offices with negroes. The
publicans. To offset it, their candidates
made pledges that if elected they would
appoint no negroes to office.
Whether that is or not correct state
ment Of the reason for the shutting out
of the Maryland negroes does not matter
materially. The chances are that they
would have been shut out from a share
of the spells anyway, whether there were
pledges made or not. The republican
party has never done anything worth
speaking about toward giving the negro
share of the ofiices-except during re-
construction days in the southe-even
where there were no promises to the con-
trary. The drawing of the color line by
the Maryland republicans is merely in
keeping with the record of the party else
where. Following up the color line, the
chances are that Reeds coming congress
will refuse to make a black man the
chaplain Of the House, Notwithstanding

sections. and the active advocacy Of

nidn,t Occur Again.

They are telling one now on an official
or certain steam railroad company, says
the Washington Post. This gentleman is
a very strict observer of discipline and if
an opportunity affords to teach an en-
ploye lesson in being a little more care
ful, he always seizes it. A little while ago
this official was riding toward Baltimore
in train, and in charge was a brand new
conductor. He knew by sight however
several OF the officials of the company, and
he did what he thought was most proper
thing, and one which he thought would

"Oh, sir" responded the conductor. with
conscious pride, that's all right. You see,
l know you, sir You are Mr.. -, and, Of
course, YOU have pass"
You should not know anybody SIR" re-
Joined the official, in a tone that made the
conductor wonder whether he would not
soon have to apply for another job. mo
dred times day, you should collect my
fare. Punch this pass, sir, and be sure you
do not let this occur again."
But he laughs best who laughs in his
sleeve. 1t was but a few DAYS after this
that Mr.. Official came riding back from
Baltimore, and happened to strike the
same train. The conductor observed him
quietly, and made sure he would not get
caught a second time. So at the proper
moment he approached the official and
made a remark about Tickets, please. %
The railroader looked up and saw, stand
ing before him the man he had roasted
so severely few days before.
"Ah,' said he quite right, quite right
and then he fumbled in his pocket for his
pass book. 1t wasn't there. Nor was it in
any of his other pockets. Strange,
strange" muttered he. Where could |
have left it? How unfortunate" All of
which language fell on deaf ears, for the
conductor looked stonily into space, and
then held out his hand again. We'll you

know"
Cant help that, sir" responded the
conductor; Il don't know you, sir. I'll
have to have your fare"
The fare was not very large, il was true
but the modification was great, especially
as half the people in the car had turned
around and were gazing curiously at the
man who had stirred up all the fuss by
trying, as they thought, to beat his way.
So the magnate went down into his peck
ct again, and fished out sufficient in bills
to pay for the fare. The conductor coolly
punched out a rebate ticket and handed
it over. You can get the drawback a the
depot when YOU get to Washington" said
he, and passed on. He has been waiting
for several days for his discharge, but it
is not likely he will get it.

Is She RcnIIy News.


Sometimes there are reasons for think
ing that the evolution Of the times and
the manners has indeed given us a now
type of womanhood; and then something
occurs which arouses serious doubts as
to whether the new" woman idea isn't
a misapprehension after all An Incl
dent that occurred in Chicago the other
day is one of the doubt producers. A
man was riding his bicycle. The street
was somewhat narrow. Coming toward
him he saw a wagon and three persons on
wheels. The four vehicles took up pretty
much all of the roadway. Two of the
wheel riders were women. They we're typ
ical so-called new women, dressed in
boomers, coats, waistcoats, stiff bosom
shirts. standing turn-point collars, bow
count for anything. it might have been
supposed that they were very far ad-
vanced in the new womanhood.
They were together on one side of the
wagon. The other rider was a man. He
was on the other side of the wagon. The
man coming toward the quartette could
not stop. If he should attempt to do so
there was danger that he would be run
over by some vehicle coming up behind
him. He saw that a collision was newt
able. He would probably come out of
mix-up in better shape If he ran into
the women. But gallantry forbade him
to do that. The man on the other side
of the wagon was heavyweight, and a
collision with him meant serious busI-
ness. But the first named man took the
chances. ran into the big man, and got
the worst of it. His arm was broken and
his wheel smashed and bent into junk
The other fellow was unhurt.
1t might be supposed that the ladies'
on the wheels would have been very
grateful to the considerate gentleman for
not running into them. But they were
not. The man on the other side was their
escort, and they wished to have the un-
arrested and locked up. They dashed
him numerically with their tongues. and
would probably have dashed him other
wise if a horse whip had been handy
1t is pretty well known of the "old"
woman that it is her nature to turn upon
and rend the humanitarian who attempts
to save her from a beating by her hus-
band. Doesn't the incident quoted show
that the, new woman is possessed of that
very same instinct or whatever else it
may be called? Doesn't it show that the
new woman is merely the old woman in
"pants?"
