Mrs. Green and Her Lawyers.

Mrs. Hetty Greene's eccentricities have
long been source of annoyance, not only
to the lawyers who have been opposed to
her in her frequent litigations, but also to
her own lawyers as well She is shrewd
woman in business matters. but she never
loses an opportunity to show her contempt
for what she looks upon as legal red tape,
and as result she has probably changed
lawyers more frequently than any other
ltigant known to the courts. During the
examinations OF Executor Darling, year
or two ago, Mrs. Green averaged new
lawyer for every hearing None of them
hurried the case along as rapidly as she
wished, and each was discharged in turn.
In some mysterious way she secured a
lawyer from Texas, who was an unknown
quantity. If he had ever appeared in the
New York courts, none of the counsel on
The other side could place him. He was a
big, sturdy-looking man, and he started in
as if he meant business. Mrs. Green was
ubilant over her find, and after the first
examination in which he appeared for her
she told the reporters present all that she
knew about him. She referred to him as
her ''Texas steer" and when the new law
yer read this in the papers the next morn
ing he was angry and Disguised. Like his
predecessors, he threw up the case. He
left town, and Mrs. Green said that she
never would find as good fighter in her
interests. New York Sun.

Tariff and Third Term.

The Vermont democrats, unlike their
brethren just across the Connecticut river,
declare that "the Republican method of a
protective tariff is criminal misapplca-
ton of the taxing power OF the nation .
and they g demand tariff legislation for the
constitutional purpose Of providing reve-
nues for the government"
The New Hampshire democrats declared
squarely for incidental protection.
No doubt the wiseacres at Montpelier
who drew the Vermont resolutions thought
that they had achieved a masterpiece OF
adroitness when they added to their
demand for constitutional tariff for reve-
nue. only the qualification that s'unneces-
sary interference with business interests
must always be avoided.
We infer that the Hon. Felix W. McGet.
trick of St. Adams must have had some
thing to do with framing this remarkable
resolution.
Mr.. McGettrick, as temporary chairman,
stated that he was present to help stem
the ruthless invasion of the most sacred
principles and traditions of our nation by
the purblind minions of cold, inscriptions
selfshness;" and then announced, almost
in the next breath, that the nomination o.
Grover Cleveland for third term would
be satisfactory to him.-New York Sun.

Terrible Panic in Moscow.
Sad Ending to Coronation Ceremonies = Roll
of Dead Over Two thousand.

One of the most horrible catastrophes of
modern times occurred at the coronation
celebration of the car at Moscow last Sat
urday, resulting in the trampling to death
of some $500 people. Most of them were
peasants, yet among the dead were found
richly dressed women, showing that all
ranks of life were represented in this
great disaster.
Just how and why it happened can
hardly be told, but the crowd was larger
than had been planned, and it was neces-
sary to restrict the number to the feast.
The authorities decided the figure at 500,-
900, and that number of mugs bearing por-
traits of the car and czarina were ordered
manufactured and distributed to the people
taking part in the banquet. The disaster
occurred between and in the morning.
1t was intended that the banquet should
commence before noon, but the immense
throng which had gathered around the
sheds from where the mugs were to be
presented and the food was to be distrib-
uted became so dense that the attendants
were overpowered and thrown to the
ground in the mad struggles which COM
menced for food and the gifts, many OF
these attendants being numbered with the
dead. The absence of the police force at
SO early an hour in the morning might have
had much to do with the pressure of these
100000 persons of all grades who had
gathered on Khodijinskoje Plain at the
time. Hoping to lessen the pressure Of
the assembled hundreds of thousands, all
moving toward common centre, they
tossed the packages and presents into the
midst of the crowd. This seemingly pre-
cipitated the panic, since scramble tc
obtain possession of the gifts ensued, and
the hollow piece of ground near the centre
formed a death trap for thousands. The
scene that followed the celebration wa.
pathetic in the extreme. and the next morn
ing people were still hunting for missing
friends and relatives on the plain which
should have been but merry-makins
place.
In a disused well there were 80 deaf
bodies, and wedged in among them and
held down by their weight were found two
men, alive and comparatively uninjured
But the terror and the hideous surround
ings of the night had proved too great q
strain on their minds and they were ravine
maniacs.
There are countless accidents of specia
pathos, one case being that of party Of
80 humble peasants who had come together
J from a single village for the merry making
at the cars feast. OF this party 50 were
killed.

The Voice of the People,

Down in the city of Burlington where the
five Republican papers, including two
dailies, have been devoting editorial space
by the yard to the task of convincing the
Republicans of the state that Major Josiah
Grout was the probable candidate Tor the
nomination for governor caucus was held
last Wednesday night The ballot box
was open one hour, fully fifty per cent OF
the Republican votes in the city were cast,
and when the count was made w. W.
Stickney OF Ludlow, the candidate of the
people, had a majority of 16s over the
ring candidate
The result of this caucus is the voice OF
the people in outspoken protest against
machine politics. The caucus was snapped
upon the Republicans Of Burlington by the
ring" element with only thirty-six hours
notice, but the younger, progressive mem
bers of the party responded with will and
the outcome was majority of 16S for a
candidate who is conducting a canvass
abose board and who is relying upon his
fitness for the position to give him the
nomination.
The effect Of this turn-down will be wide
spread, and it would not be surprising il
if were the beginning OF a general land
slide to the popular candidate.

Bicycling in England.

From Harold Frederic London letter.
Those who imagined that bicycling was
merely temporary spasm confess them
selves bewildered at the steadily multiply
ing evidences of their error. 1t is begin
ming to be realized that, instead, we are in
the presence of vast revolution in the
manners, habits and economics of national
life, which must profoundly alter every
thing. Already this year it is discovered
that the Thames is practically deserted.
Where a year ago every bright May Sun
day saw the river swarming with pleasure
craft for 20 miles, a spectacle quite unique
in Europe, you see now only what seems
like weekday casual gathering. 1t is the
dusty highway skirting the river which is
now alive with humanity flying on wheels
instead of dawdling lazily in punts. All
England is suddenly devoured with the
notion of rushing through the air at a break
neck speed, and it forces one to wonder if,
in generation or two, this will not quicken
and key up the slow English temperament
to quite unnatural pitch. The Daily
Chronicle recognizes the revolution by
starting regular cyclists department in
its columns. 1t says, doubtless with truth,
that bicycling has become as important as
literature OF art. Its first article on the
subject lays stress on the superiority of the
American models over the English ones,
and warns the British makers that unless
they reduce the weight of their machines
which are seven pounds heavier than the
best American types, and adopt the Ameri
can saddle and other improvements, they
will lose the home market in competition
with the Americans.

Needs Protection From His Friends.

Major Grout needs to be protected from
his fool friends. The Burlington ring has
all along proclaimed that Stickney had
very few friends there-that the elect and
our best society was solidly in favor of the
Major-and the Burlington papers have
been SO bumptious on the subject of poor
Stickney that life has been made burden
to common people. Well, the caucus was
held Wednesday evening, and the despised
Stickney swept the city and knocked out
the Free Press statesman trust by 16S ma
jority. This is an important victory for
the anti Grout forces.-Harris Weekly.
