has been expelled from the party by
the executive committee, because he
has abandoned Watson and is advocat-
ing the selection of Bryan and Sewall
electors.
Mrs. Walter Castle, the woman
who was arrested in London, on the
charge of shoplifting, and together
with her husband, was held in bond
in the sum of $4,000, was formerly
Miss Ella WE'LL, of Wilmington, N. G.
She is woman of remarkable beauty,
and before marriage represented North
Carolina at the great Confederate re-
union in Birmingham, Ala. Her
friends say that there is no doubt of
the fact that she is genuine klep.
tomaniac, for her husband is a man of
great wealth, and can provide for her
any article of merchandise that she
might desire.
Pretending to have some inside
information, E. R. Chapman, New
York broker, last week announced
that he was ready to bet $500, 900, or
any part of that sum, that no state
east of the Mississippi and north of
the Ohio, would go for Bryan. The
offer had marked effect on the price
of stocks, and sharp operators made a
great deal of money. Finally ]. M.
Taylor, another broker, offered to
take the offered $5O0,00O or any part
of it, and Chapman backed out. The
facts occurred as given; but it is not
improbable that Chapman and Taylor
were in collusion, and the little scheme
was worked entirely for the purpose
of affecting the market. Such things
are, often done in Wall street.
That little echo-Secretary Nor
ton, of the agricultural department.
has had the temerity to attack Senator
Morgan, of Alabama. He. referred
recently to Senator Morgan as one of
the Confederate picket guards of free
silver. When a man attacks Senator
Morgan, it is generally case of wax
ing up the wrong passenger. 1t proved
so in this case. The senator has replied
with the bitterest sarcasm as fol-
lows: ~ have never thrown any
stones at that barn rat, and I do not
see why he should refer to me by name
as rebel. I am not aware that in the
army T had to fight any member of this
administration. I may have had to
fight Mr.. Cleveland's substitute, and
I have long since forgiven the substi-
tute, because he was man enough to
fight"
- 1t is related in the newspapers
that Henry M. Stanley, the famous
African explorer, is gradually turning
black. Here is the story. Stanley
was aware of the fact that the African
natives of the fever infested districts
enjoyed immunity from the disease.
He had been told by scientific men
that he could also secure immunity by
submitting to a TRANSMISSION of blood
from native. He took the advice of
these scientific men and submitted to
TRANSMISSION on as many as five differ
ent occasions. During each of his ex-
peditions the white men with his party
died of fever in large numbers. He,
however, escaped. But now he is
paying up for it all. 1t is claimed
that his complexion, once fair, now
looks like that of dark mulatto, and
continues to grow blacker and blacker.
A special to the Kansas City Jour-
nal from Thomson Ga, says: Thom-
as E. Watson has forwarded papers to
Kansas notifying the secretary of state
to take his name as nominee for vice
president from the head of the Popu.
list ticket. The necessary affidavit,
in due form, authorizing the with
drawal from that ticket, accompanied
the other papers. This is the first
step taken by Mr.. Watson since his
recent visit to Kansas to thwart the
efforts of the fusion entered there with
the Democrats. The withdrawal of
Mr.. Watson's name will leave the fu-
sionists in a dilemma. They will
have to insert the name of Sewall, the
Democratic nominee, or leave the vice
presidential Office blank on the Popu-
list ticket. This will cause much EN-
barrassment. Watson's name will ap-
pear only once on the official ballot in
Kansas, and that will be at the head
of the "Middle of the Road" Populist
ticket.
The cheek of the proverbial brass
monkey is nowhere compared to that
of Mark Hanna. Listen to the Re-
publican boss latest proclamation !:
"The American flag has been in the
political campaign the emblem or in
sigma of national honor. Its intiuen-
ces have been for great good in the
cause of good people. Its display in
many places has been potent in the
advancement of the country's battle
for the maintenance of its honor at
home and abroad. I, therefore, sug-
gest that on Saturday, October 81, all
who intend to vote on November for
the preservation of our national honor,
for sound money and the advancement
of our peoples interests and general
prosperity, display the national colors
at their homes, their places of business
and wherever they may be seen, in
order that their purpose and those
who are undetermined, may the more
patriotically and intelligently con-
clude how best to perform their duty
as citizens"
A dispatch to the Chicago Tribune
from Chamberlain, South Dakota,
says: "The suggestion that corn be
burned as substitute for hard coal in
the state this winter is meeting with fa-
vor in various sections. Hard coal is
now being retailed at from $40 to $11
