The attempt of a certain Massa-

free silver people in that State, by
suggesting that Tlliman, Coxey and

James G. Blaine said il a speech
in The United States Senate, Feb. Z,

the sole unit of value, must have

Bourke Cochran a wild Irishman
from the State OF New York, who
won feeting renown by his speech
"agin Cleveland" in the Chicago
convention in 1892, was the star
orator at a big "Sound money DEM

Square Garden last week. It is
quite significant that these Demo
Gratis" howled vociferously for Nc
Kinley or whenever Cochran men
toned anarchy, reputation, hon.
esty, principle, etc." in counting his
rosary of stock phases, New York
no longer represents America, and
robbery Of the people by trusts, syn
dicates and monopolies under the

ated. II this be treason Cochran
wants to pull his freight. There is

To the Editor OF the Cdlt-DEAR SIR: Kindly
permit me to advise the readers of your yalua-
BILE paper concerning a change which has been
made in regard to the place at which shall set
forth my proofs of the four propositions upon
which l was challenged by Rev z. c. Yorke
The proofs will be presented at Metropolitan
Temple instead of at Woodward's Pavilion, as
heretofore announced. The change was deemed
advisable because of the central location of the
temple and the superior transportation faeili-
ties OF its vicinity. Tickets sold for the pa
vilion will call for seats in the temple in reIa-
lively the same positions as in the former
edlfice.
Owing to the impossibility of securing the
temple for the dates originally announced, a
slight change has been rendered necessary in
that particular and the proofs will be made
public from that platform on the four evenings
OF February "a, 25, 26 and 27.
regret to learn that thus far no progress has
been made in the matter of selecting the third
anxious that this be done soon, in order that
the public may have an opportunity to become
satisfied of his impair tlality, for my proofs are
all ready and they have sufficient local appii-
cation to interest and indeed to wholly con-
vince both the Archbishop and the Chancellor
of the Archdiocese of the truth of the PROPOSE
tions.
In closing this brief note permit me to thank
you for the uniform kindness and courtesy
with which you have always treated me and
the patriotic order OF which l am member,
and 10 express ny utmost satisfaction in the
course recently adopted by State President
Hndelson in officially exploiting the position,
objects and principles of the American Pro-
tectiye Association. 1t has been bit of sur
pIlse that Peter Yorke, he of the facile pen.
has not attempted word in opposition. Per-
haps the popular impression IS to the cause of
his silence-that he knows the principles of the
A. P. A. are epnimpeAchable-is the correct ex-
PLANTATION of his ignominious retreat Very
respectfully, d. NJ. Ross.

STOLE A DIAMOND PIN.
Clever Work of Two Young
Strangers at the Ingle-
side Hotel.
Joseph Ranker. the Manager, Has an
Unpleasant Private Interview
With One of Them.

The police are looking for two young
men who stole a diamond scarfpin valued
at $65 from Joseph Ranken, manager OF
the IngIeside Hotel on Thursday night.
About $50 o'clock they entered the bar
and called for drink. One of them asked
to see Ranken and when he made his
appearance ne requested to speak to him
privately. They went into a room and
the stranger deftly extracted the diamond
pin from Ranken's scarf. Ranken grabbed
him and yelled for help, but the thief
broke away and ran out OF the hotel. His
companion had been standing at the bar,
and when the barkeeper heard Ranken's g
yells he rushed to his assistance. When
he returned to the barroom the stranger
had disappeared.
Mounted Policeman Winzier saw the
two strangers acting IN suspicious man
ner about O'Clock and warned the people
in the locality to be careful of them.
The description of the two men is as
follows: One between 25 and 80 years of
age, feet inches tall, stout build sandy
complexion, small sandy mustache, light
brown hair, hair and mustache clipped
short, wore black sack coat, light brown
trousers and black derby hat The other
between % and 80 years of age. feet 6
inches tall, dark omplex1on, freckled face,
| dark brown mustache and hair, mus
! tache cut short, dressed in dark blue sack
coat, dark gray trousers, black derby hat

Horses with Fa1se rai1s.

There are perhaps half dozen horses in
New York that have false tails. The horse
so provided is generally fine animal, per
haps gne carriage horse. 1t may have
been provided by nature with a poor tail,
or it may have lost its own flowing tail in
fire. 1t is easy to get tail to match. A
small portion of hide is removed with the
tail, and when this has been cured the tail
is provided with straps and buckles on the
under side to hold it to the tail of the
horse that is to wear it, and the hide at
Tackled is stitched to the crupper of the
horses harness. The fact that the tail is
false would not be discovered except upon
close and careful inspection. The tail is
taken off with the harness.
Horses are occasionally provided with
false names in the same general manner,
and sometimes with false ears.-New York
