ROASTED BY ALTGELD
THE FAT MAN OF THE WHITE
HOUSE DONE TO A TURN.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April 15.-Gov. Alt
geld, when asked today if he had read
President Cleveland's letter on the money
question, said:
IF it had been any other name than that
of the president signed to it nobody would
signed such document, 1t would be ridi-
culed all over the country, for its weakness
almost excites pity, but the letter is
markable in this that it is the first in
stance in the history of the country and
republic in which a president of the United
States, after using all the powers of gov
eminent, has, in addition, condescended to
write for the newspapers in order to serve
his masters. For this letter was not only
written for publication, but was intended
to start a boom, and has been advertised
Tor week In order to give 1T an audience.
Other presidents have been used as a con-
venience by class interests, but this is the
nrSt time in which q presidents name has
been dragged 800 miles outside of Washing
ton City for that purpose. After nomina-
ting Cleveland three times and electing him
twice to the presidency, the Standard Oil
and Wall street people got him to use all
the powers of government to further their
schemes.
The country has been astounded to see
postoffices and patronage used to coerce
congress into doing the biddings of the
East from striking down silver to packing
supreme court. In the meantime the
country has been going from bad to wrose.
With abundant crops, and with the most
industrious, intelligent and enterprising peo-
pie to be found on earth, we are in a par
allied cond!ton brought on by no natural
cause, but by the arbitrary acts of a num-
Der OF the governments of the world, con-
trolled by the influences of the salaried
classes and of the bondholding classes Of
Europe and America These wanted to make
property and commodities cheap and money
dear, and they have succeeded The result
Is that the purchasing power of the pro-
ducing classes has been destroyed while
all the debts, taxes and other fixed charges
remain the same. It takes all the people
can get together to meet the fixed charges
Consequently, labor is idle and the great
producing classes are in distress and they
are finding out the cause.

PREACHED IN EVENING DRESS.
A California Minister Who Practicea
md Defends the Cuat0m.

and Defends the Custom.
The Rev. David Edwards. the actor
preacher, of Oakland, Cal, changed his
tactics tonight, says a San Francisco Ex-
amfner correspondent. He did not clutch
his hair and offer his kingdom for a horse,
and then sink into the stage to show the
end of intrigue and ambition. Nor did
he shuttle a pack of cards and declare for
bean poker or dance in the pulpit to glor-
ify the waltz and prove it's inherent inno-
Cence.
The Rev. Mr.. Davis has succeeded in
getting public attention focused upon him.
What Is more, he has succeeded in getting
people to go to hear him. But the young
preacher Is a man of his day and gen.
ertion, and is disposed to change his
stock of ideas to suit the seasons.
There has been considerable criticism of
his methods of proclaiming the gospel.
MY mission in pr, Aching" said the
preacher today, lis to save sinners. But
why should it be thought necessary to
wear a long face and a vinegary aspect In
telling of the Lamb that taketh away the
sins of the world?
Now, concerning my appearance tonight
in evening dress in the pulpit let me say
that believe God is no respecter of garb,
and that an evening dress would not pre-
clude preachers entrance into the king
dom Of heaven.
but, inasmuch as it was announced
that 1 would appear in evening dress, it
is my opinion that such an apparel is
more proper in the pulpit when discussing
popular themes than the conventional
Prince Albert.
But the question of broadcloth or rags
or tights is SO trivial that hardly see the
sense of such things being mentioned"
The purpose of the young preachers eff
fort tonight to show Oakland his
ability as a word painter. Rev. Mr..
Davis ambition is to be able to thrill
great audiences with copious and fervid
OratOry.

LEATHER.
The Many Different Kinds of Skins
That Go to the Tannery.

The Many Different Kinds of Skins
That Go to the Tannery.
Cordovan, which is made from the hides
of horses, is comparatively new product.
1t was first finished in Hamburg, Germany
about so years ago under the name of ross
leder, says the Chicago Record. 1t is ex-
ceedingly difficult to tan, but the fineness
of it's texture makes it very valuable for
high grade shoes. 1t will take high pol
ish, and is almost waterproof. The supply
of horse hides comes mostly from South
America.
Leather made from the skin of the kan
CARGO Is a comparatively new product 1t
is soft and strong, and the light grades are
well adapted for summer shoes and for
shoe tops. The heavier grades will wear
excellently for almost any purpose, rarti-
cularly for fine shoes. Kangaroo hides all
come from Australia.
Alligator hides Is growing more popular
every day. 1t is used mostly for shoes and
valises.
Other fancy feathers made by the Newark
house are from the skins of boa constric-
tors, rattlesnakes and blacksnakes, used
largely for pocketbooks and slippers
Porpoise leather was first introduced into
England, where it was made into fine shoes
for men. 1t is remarkable for it's flexibility,
A square foot OF it can be drawn out to
one and one-thlrI feet in length. Shoe
strings are largely made of this leather.
In olden times leather was made quite ex-
tensively from human SKINS During the

standard countries and this policy il now
running this country. It is the state of
things that has made his administration
hateful to the masses Of the American peo-
pie.
Mr.. Cleveland's insinuatious that the ad
vocate Of silver restoration are based on
wicked and unpatriotic purposes may do
for those whose environments ara such as
to prevent them from seeing and knowing
the utter poverty and distress that is pre-
vailing among the masses OF the people,
but those who live in the midst of this
distress and see daily that the people are
suffering, will repel with scorn such insin-

CASTOR OIL JAGS.
They Are Possible, and So Are Those
of Kerosine and Cotl-Lfver Oils.

They Are Possible, and So Are Those
of Kerosine and COd-Liver Oils.
In the usual acceptation of the term in
toxication, or drunkenness, or inebriety-
for they all mean practically the same
thing-is referred to the excessive use of
alcoholic beverages in one form an
other. Norman Kerr, the highest English
authority on the subject, has pointed out,
however, that there are a great many
things beside alcohol which produce intox-
ication, and that alcoholic inebriety is not
so dangerous or deleterous in it's effects
as some other kinds of intoxication. DR..
Kerr enumerates among the things that
make drunk come" as the Indian ex-
presses 1t, ether, cocaine, eau de cologne,
iodine, opium hasheesh, paraffine, kerosene
and even such seemingly innocuous SUBJ
stances as cod-liver oil and castor oil.
1t would seem almost incredible that there
could be such thing as kerosene inebriety
or cod-liver oil intoxication, but the rec
ords of scientific research, as set forth by
DIR. Kerr, are not to be disputed. The fact
seems to be that over-indulgence in any
one of the numerous substances known
generically as paratriptics begets a cumu-
lative appetite, and that this is accompan-
led in time by functional arrangement, and,
worse still, by slackening and weaken
ing of moral fiber. Tea coffee and tobac-
co, while less injurious to most people than
alcohol or opium or either, serve to illus
trate the familiar saying that the appetite
grows by what it feeds on. The tobacco
habit, the coffee habit, the tea habit may
grow on one until what was once a want
becomes an actual need. and each is as
necessary to the comfort, If not the health,
of the devotee as food itself.
In the discussion of all these questions
science is at a disadvantage, because, first,
no two human beings are exactly alike, and
second, no individual Is exactly the same
at different times. One man may drink al
most numberless drinks and evince no signs
of intoxication, while another will become
.maudlin at the smell Of cork out of a
whisky bottle. Then, too, the man of clear
head and strong digestion, to whom usually
liquor is almost as water, may find himself
in a condition where a single glass Of wine
will upset him. Science canot deal with
such contradictory conditions. One thing
seems certain = that the human race. SO
long as its records have been kept, has al
ways found ways and means to impose
upon itself the condition which we call
drunkenness. The theory and process of
fermentation, and even of distillation, has
certainly been known for thousands of
years, and men, at least since the DAYS of
Noah have continued to put into their
mouths the enemy that steals away their
brains. Happily the average of intoxtca-
ton, at least in all civilized countries, is

SHARP OLD NEWSWOMAN.
Says She Knows Honest People Way
Across the Street.

Says She Knows Honest People Way
Across the Street.
One of the smartest shrewdest business
women in New York, able to push her
trade at a minimum of effort, is the old
neWSWoman at the corner of Forty-secOnd
street and Seventh avenue, the junction
of Broadway and Seventh avenue and the
thriving stand is situated at the Seventh
avenue corner, says the New York Herald.
1t is a bleak, unprotected corner, and
the old woman's finding it too exposed has
taken her stool under the shelter of an
opposite Broadway store. This is far
enough off not to know where to look
for her, if needs be, and affords an ap-
parently good opportunity for dishonest
persons to cheat, yet the old woman never
loses a cent. She has learned from her dis
tant niche to size people up pretty well, and
is on hand pretty promptly if she suspects
unfair play.
A lady last Sunday wanted to buy a
paper, but had nothing less than Is cents.
Looking up and down and around about,
and seeing nobody in charge of the stand,
she decided after some moments waiting
that she would have to let the paper go.
AS she turned away without 1t she heard
loud call from the cubbyhole niche at the
opposite corner, and could see the old
woman bidding her in pantomime to take
the paper along. In pantomime also she re-
piled, indicating that she couldn't, as she
hadn't got the money. Then the old woman
hObbled forward in haste and began to give
the conscientious lady good sound rating
"Ain't you fooling,'' she said, land both
ersome to bring over here when you
might just we'll take that paper along?"
But had no change" said the lady.
"WeN, what of that? Couldn't you leave
it the next time you were passing?"
But I'm a stranger. Why should you
trust me to do any such thing?'
That's all right. I know why. Don't you
think 1 can tell honest folk from over
there? 1 know the other kind, too, right
quick. Next time pick up your paper and
pay whenever you come past again. Don't
drag me over here for nothing. It's enough
with my rheumatism, to scramble over here
after the cheats"

"TAME DUCKS DON'T SHOOT"
Sign Which Greeted the President in
North Carolina. Il

Sign Which Greeted the President in
North Carolina.
Advices from North Carolina show that
the presidents shooting trip along the coast
was conducted with pleasure If not with
profit. If the truth must be told, the presi-
dent is not remarkably fine shot, the
marksf1an OF the party being Commander
George F. Wild, of the lighthouse tender
Violet, which is the home of the hunters.
The days work begins at o'clock In the
morning, when every one on board Is rudely
reused from sound sleep. After rolls and
strong coffee the president and his compan-
ions embark in one of the small boats and
are rapidly rowed to the bayous with which
the shore abounds. Here they are trans
ferred to floats and crack away for two
hours at the ducks in their early morning
flight. The early afternoon is passed in
slumber, and at sunset the morning expes
rience is repeated. At night-well. who shall
say what happens at night? What is the
use of travelling miles and miles from civil
ization If ones actions there are to be mi
nutely described? What If chips do rattle
on the table? What if the bottle is passed
from hand to hand, making the cheek flush
and the eye grow dim? That is the usual
concomitant of a hunting or fishing party,
and without it there would be no luck.
Some of the North Carolina farmers along
the coast have grown into the habit of rails
ing tame ducks, which is rather annoying.
In the misty morning air flock of ducks in
the water present fair target whether
they be tame or wild In Bayou Estoee the
other morning the president and DR.. O'Reil-
ly were being carefully scullcd along, when
Cleveland, who was in the bow, warningly
raised his hand
"Flock of malards right in front of u.s."
he whispered to the sculler. Go easy"
The president and DR.. O'Reilly got their
guns ready for action and took shooting po-
sitions. The boat glided along among the
reeds without sound. The president raised
his gun to his shoulder and then took it
down with laugh. Look there said he
pointing to big sign 20 feet away. Upon
it was the following inscription:
Tame ducks
Don't shoot!
Don't you want to buy some nice fresh
berries?
No ducks were shot that morning but the
farmer tasted rather better whisky than
the average moonshiner produces
