Grand Weather for The
Great Suburban Race.
Only Seven on Card and All
Will Probably Start.
Henry Of Navarro to Carry Top
Weight and Is in Fine Form.

NEW YORK, June-23.. This was a typi-
cal morning for Suburban Day at Sleeps
head. The trainers were out early with
their charges to escape the heat, end only
those of the frequenters OF the tracks " no
watched the exercise gallops who got out
soon after sunrise were paid for their
pains.
Ony seven horses were on the card for
the big race, but every one was a good
one. First came the top-weight, Henry
OF Navarro, fully entitled to carry 129
pounds on account of his many victories
with that and even more weight. AT his
exercise this morning he looked as Tt as
he ever was in his life.
Clifford, too. was In good order. He
moved along through the stretch as IL he
knew that in few short hours he would
have to make the effort OF his life to win
Suburban, which would be we'll worth
winning from such horses as he would be
pitted against. lie showed no signs OF
age and moved through the stretch like .
3-year-old.
Equal in weight with Clifford, 125
pounds, was the game, gallant Sir Wall
ter, perfect type OF the compact, racy-
looking thorough hbred. He has tried for
all the rich hanoicaps for the last three
years, but not until the race for the
Metropolitan handicap this spring. was he
In at light weight. He failed when
there. When IL came to Brooklyn handi-
cap a little over two weeks ago, he was
better tit and won, although his victory
Will always be rated as fluke.
As far as the Others were concerned,
they were practically friendless. Nam

handicap, being pounds short Of his
best form OF last year, although his
trainer William Donahue, did not think
so-at the time. He was better today but
generally considered to be outclassed.
The Commoner, the Western represent
tative in the stake was also judged to be
outclassed by the high weights and while
he was named as doubtful w. M.

IT WAS CARELESSNESS.
That Caused the Collapse of the
Brighton Lodging House.
Some of the Bodies Recovered and
Others Sti)l In the Ruins.

SAN FRANCISCO, Juno 23.-Two bodies
at the morgue, two more seen in the
ruins and 13 persons injured, one OF
whom is likely to die, and tive men un-
accounted for-that is the list Of fatalities
SO far known resulting from the collapse
yesterday afternoon OF the three story
frame boarding house known as the
Brighton, situated at 22 Fifth street.
There are more bodies in the ruins,
buried under great piles OF lumber and
furniture. Some OF those whose names
are on the list OF missing are doubtless
dead.
The two bodies recovered are those of
Mrs. Ernestine Silverstein and Jesse
May. The following persons are missing
and are believed to be in the ruins
George Conep, - stein, Michael Rourke,
Charles Riordan, James Mccarthy.
Carelessness of the grossest sort is re-
sponsible for the collapse of the lodging
house and the resulting loss of life.

AID FROM SOUTH.

Modelling Financial Plank For En-
pire State Democrats.

Washington, June 23.-To bring the In
fuence of southern Democrats residing
In New York to bear upon the delegates
TO Chicago from the south is now the ad-
ministration plan of work. Before leav-
ing the city President Cleveland is said
to have written personal letters to
number of prominent New York busi-
ness men of southern birth and antece-
dents, urging that their potent influence
with southern delegates should be effec-
lively employed In this party crisis. The
administration forces see no hope of
controlling the Chicago convention. ex-
cept possibly by converting good block
OF southern delegates. Many delegates
from that section are already much con-
cerned by the facts which their old
nefghbUrs. now in business life i'm New
York. are able to produce. One southern
free silver delegate was in New York
last week, where, as he has since told the
president. he found five southern busi-
ness men. four Of whom served in the
Confederate army. These men, without
exception. asserted that with free sill
yer platform at Chicago. out Of love for
the south they should feel obliged to
vote the Republican ticket.
Delegates from Birmingham region
are somewhat worked up by the notice
having been served upon them by north
ern trust companies, that mortgages now
about 10 expire In that city will not be
renewed except on a specific gold basis.
and in many instances not at all. Mr..
Cleveland's present endeavor is to so
force these influences at Chicago, that
number of southern delegates may
swing over from the support of policy
which can clearly be shown to be SO det-
rimental TO the prosperity of their sec
tion. With the free silver westerners,
the administration will not try to do
anything They are considered past re-
call. The president is. however by no
means willing to acknowledge that the
fight Is lost.

1t is not always the greater figures in
the literary field whose efforts afford
the most satisfaction and pleasure to
the majority Of the cursory reading
public. \ man like Henry c. Bunner,
whose death occurred recently, does
more to entertain and refresh the pub
lie in the course of year than many
writer's working in a greater field and
holding a more distinguished fame.
Both as editor of Puck and as writer
of charmingly humorous stories md
graceful verse Mr.. Bunner had won
an esteem which was based solely on
genuine merits. He was perhaps the
best writer OF light verse that the
country has had and his prose sketches
and stories We're characterized by the
true humor which is the product of
faculty for accurate observation. With
these characteristics he attained an
easy eminence in one of the less os-
tentatious paths of literature. but it
was his best and happiest destiny to
entertain and cheer his many thou
sands of readers.

The cyclone still remains an awful
mystery. Whittier it goeth and whence
it cometh no man knows. Meteorologi-
cal science is so far advanced as to en-
able it's most skilled professors to pre-
dict with an approach to certainty the
coming of rain or snow, and even OF
tempest; but the cyclone is more than
tempest, and no man yet has been able
to give such timely warning of its ap-
proach as to enable those who dwell
in it's path to flee from the coming
wrath. The sailor may be told with
certainty that tomorrow viii DE fair or
stormy, but the dweller on the plains
or in the cultivated lands cannot i'e
told with certainty that tomorrow
cyclone will sweep down upon his
neighborhood. The storm traverses re-
gions, the cyclone descends upon
tract. 1t is we'll that the area of it's
deadly operation is so limited. But be-
cause of it's limitation it's advent cam
not be predicted. The last few weeks
have been unusually prolific of disas-
ter. On one Friday three Texas towns,
considerably apart from each other.
were visited by cyclones. The dead at
Sherman numbered at least 100, the
wounded could be counted by hundreds,
and the number of those left roofiess by
thousands. In the two smaller towns
the disasters, though appalling, are Of
less magnitude. On one Sunday one
cyclone struck the little village of I'll
va, in Kentucky, and slew family of
five, in addition to Wrecking two
churches, two stores, a SchOOlhouSe,
and several barns in a neighboring set
Element. On the same day cyclone
swept over an unusually large area in
Kansas, taking in it's destructive course
the greater parts of the counties Of
Marshall and Nemaha. The loss of life
in this case is small when the area of
the storm is considered, not more than
eight persons being slain. On the same
day the city of Frankfort Kan, was
invaded by the fierce wind. Sixty Of
the most substantial residences, as well
as three churches, were wrecked By it.
Fortunately no loss of life is reported,
though many persons were injured Sc
riously. One of the mitigations of the
plague of cyclones is the circumscrib-
ed area of their visitation. Relief is
close at hand, homes soon are found
for the temporarily homeless, food is
furnished for the temporarily destitute,
and willing hands and generous purses
aid in the rehabilitation of the waste
places. Egypt had it's ten plaques; the
cyclone is the eleventh of the great
forces of devastation

The fiunkies of the Metropolitan Club

members, protest against diet of hash
and beef stew for themselves. The sit

pears, if the housemaids of the neigh
borhood had not discovered the CASTRO
nomic limitations that prevailed. The
deadly calm of the ideal club tiInky's
professional obsequiousness, that awes
the timid victim, becomes transformed
into an insufferable, patroniZ.ng, and
loquacious air Of superiority when he
meets less richly CARRIED servant, and
it will be admitted that neither condi-
