Asoore and more Of people at Mum
Gle, Ind were the involuntary witnesses
Of ono Of the funniest fights 10 a Anish
imaginable. A monkey belonging 70 an
italian escaped from It's confinement
and was ambliug along the street when
it was attacked by largo yellow dog
Of mongrel breed For several seconds
there was such binding rush Of dust
that the spectators could scarcely 500
which was ahead, bat finally the
monkey broke away and scaled up q
pole close at hand while the dog
established himself at the foot and
bayed loud and angrily
The monkey chartered in several
dialects, running up and down, and
ell the time keeping a wary eye on its
enemy. Finally il began 10 slowly
slide down the pole, and, coming
within range, it bounded plump on
the dogs back, aud with teeth aud
claw, made the hair fly. The dog
jumped and howled and shook him
self the crowd yelling hoarse shouting
"Go it, Tige, Hold to him, Monk.
The dog finally Topped over on its
back, dislodging the monkey, which
again bounded up the pole.
BY this time the dog was crnzed
with rage and pain, aud it made
herculean efforts to reach it's chatter
ing enemy, who again brought into
play the same tactics as before. A
second time it landed squarely on the
dogs back, and there was a repetition
in which teeth and claws played a
leading role. This round resulted in
a complete victory for the "monk,
the dog eventually unhorsing his
enemy by rolling over, aud then
bounding to his feet and running
away as fast as his legs could carry
him. The monkey chased him for a
few yards and then returned to the
pole satisfied with results. -Cincin-

Origin Of ..The Blue Dannbe. y

1t was originally written on a pair
OF cuffs 1t was the linen cuff and the
quick thought of the woman who wore
it that gave us one of the prettiest of
the tuneful Strauss waltzes. johann
Strauss and his wife were one day en-
joying a stroll in the park at Schonau,
when suddenly the composer ex-
claimed; "My dear, / have a waltz in
my head; quick, give me a
scrap of paper or an old en-
velope. 1 must write it down before
I forget it. :" Alas After much rum
maging OF pockets, it was found that
neither OF them had a letter about
them-not even a BRIDESMAIDS bill.
Strauss music is considered light, but
it weighed as heavy as lead on his
brain until he could transfer it to
paper. His despair was pathetic. At
last a happy thought struck Frau
Strauss. She held out a snowy cuff.
The composer clutched it eagerly, and
in two minutes that cuff was manu-
script Its mate followed, still the in
spiration was incomplete
Strauss was frantic, and was about
to make wild dash for home, with
the third part of his waltz ringing
uncertainty in his head-his own
linen was limp colored calico-when
suddenly his fran bethought herself
of her collar, and in an instant the
remaining bars Of "The Blue Dan

A VANDERBILT SERIOUSLY ILL.
Worrying Over the Proposed Marriage
of His Son Caused the Attack.

New York, July 15.-The World says:
Cornelius Vanderbilt, Sr., came to town
from Newport ON Monday to see his son
and to take him back to Newport il his
condition permitted. He found his son
c0nvalcscent, but suddenly became very
i'll himself. Messengers were sent to DR..
Draper, DR.. Delafield and DIR. McLane,
who at once went to the house. Mr..
Vanderbilt's condition became worse yes
terday. Farley in the evening passers by
the Vanderbilt mansion were surprised
to see parts of Fifth avenue and Fifty
seventh street strewn with tanbark.
Everyone in the house was reticent as
ness, though it is believed to be slight
his sons proposed marriage to Miss Will
son. At first no one would admit that
Mr.. Vanderbilt was i'll, but when the
tan bark was scattered around the house
they reluctantly confessed it. So i'll
was he yesterday that Cornelius, Jr., did
not go out, but remained with his father.
Mrs. Vanderbilt and her daughter are
expected in town today. 1t is feared
that his sons decision to marry with or
without his consent has worried Mr..
Vanderbilt so much that it brought on
the stroke.
Young Mr.. Vanderbilt drove in Cen
tral park with Miss Wilson on Monday
for the first time since the attack of in
hammatory rheumatism compelled him
to put off his marriage.
The marriage, which 1t was expected
would take place this week, will be post
pOned until his fathers health is re-
stored.

ALL LOYAL CITIZENS SHOULD

GO REPUDIATORS.
mo POLITICAL ISSUE IS INVOLVED
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Ham
lin Makes a Statement Which Is
Supposed to Represent the Views
of the Administration.

Washington, July 14.-The Evening
Hamlin of the treasury department gave
out short statement this afternoon in
explanation of his position with regard
to the Democratic platform and nominees.
Inasmuch as Mr.. Hamlin represented the
administration forces at the Chicago con.
vention he has been in frequent consulta-
ton with Secretary Carlisle over the po-
litical situation since the adjournment of
the convention, the statement made by
him today will undoubtedly be accepted
by many as a semi-offical declaration of
the position of the sound money men Of
the administration.
The impression is further strengthened
by the belief that Mr.. Hamlin has seen
President Cleveland since the adjourn
ment of the convention.
He spent several days at Marion, near
Gray Gables, on his way back to Wash
ington from Chicago. The statement re-
ferred to is as follows:
mo political issue is involved in the
coming election. Inc question 10 pe ue-
cided is far deeper and more vital. The
perpetuity of Republican institutions has
been threatened. Every loyal citizen
should ally himself against the forces
which controlled the Chicago convention;
forces of lawlessness which are incon-
sistent with the interests of the republic.
Henceforth there should be no Republican,
no Democrat, but union of loyal citizens
against the combined forces of repudia-
ton and disorder. When once this dan
gerous element has been stamped out at
the polls by an indignant people we can
again divide and discuss these political
questions, which for generations have
kept alive the two great political parties y

ARKANSAS POPULISTS.

Little Rock, Ark. July 1.-THE Pop
ulists state convention will meet here to-
morrow for the purpose of nominating Il
state ticket and selecting delegates to
the national convention at st. Louis.
The big four will probably be Thos.
Fletcher, w. S. Morgan, j. w. Dollison,
Il. r. Arnold, Charles T. Foster and J..
r. Sovereign, at large. The latter is
master workman of the knights of
Labor. Interest centers on the attitude
to be assumed towards the Chicago plat
form and nominees. There is strong
sentiment in favor of endorsing Bryan,
but on the other hand there ere those
who say that such endorsement would
tend to disrupt the Populist party.
Mr.. w. s. Morgan, a leader, is in favor
of making no nomination at all. leaving
the POpulists free to vote for their choice
and formulate and adopt u strong plat
form along the lines of the Omaha plat
form. This plan is being discussed by
the leaders and is meeting with great
deal of favor. Many of the Populists
assert that Mr.. Bryan is Populist in
everything but name, and declare their
intention to support him for the presi-
dency.
The question of putting out a state
ticket is by no means settled. and there
is strong sentiment in favor of en-
dorsing Hon. d. w. Jones, the Demo-
cratic candidate for governor.

REUBEN KOLB'S VIEW OF IT.
Predicts That the Populist Convention
Will Nominate Bryan.

Memphis, July 14.-A special from
Birmingham to the Commercial-Appeal
says:
Capt. Reuben F. Kolb, late Populist
candidate for governor, and leader of the
party in Alabama, reached home today
from Chicago, where he has been view
ing the Democratic convention and con-
ferring with other influential Populist
leaders from all over the country as to
what is best for that party to do at its
convention in st. Louis next week.
Capt. Kolb does not hesitate to predict
that the st. Louis convention will almost
surely nominate Bryan for president and
endorse the Democratic platform. In
fact, he expects to be in st. Louis to re-
ceive the nomination of the POpulists. He
says the platform is all the Populists can
desire. AS to Sewall, he believes the vice
presidential nominee will not be accepta-
BILE to the Populists, but ventures no solu-
ton to that part of the problem.

BLANCO ITEMS.

Blanco, July 14.-(Special.) AT the last
the glorious rains have come and have
filled the earth, long dry and scOrched, full
of water, and the heart of man, long sad
and weary of waiting, full of gratitude and
joy. A 3-inch rain fell Saturday and
Saturday night, and today we have had
several good showers. The rains will re-
vive the grass and will help all late cot
ton.
Despite the sad news that the Pop
ulists captured the convention at Chica-
go our people are in better spirits than
they have been in for some time. The
corn crop will be short, will average about
eight bushels to the acre. Cotton will
make much less than 1t yielded last year.

SENATOR GRAY,S PLAN

Baltimore, July 14.-The Baltimore
Sun has an interview with Senator Gray
of Delaware. of which the following is
the substance
1T can be stated upon the best authori-
ty that the senator does not approve the
proposed Independent action in the Demo-
cratic party, as advocated by Illinois Dem
ocrats and agitated by members of the
party in the east. In his opinion the
wisest and most practical thing the single
standard Democrats could do will be to
endeavor to control the nomination for
congress in every district in which they
have strength enough to influence the re-
suit"

KENTUCKY BOLTERs.

Lexington, KY, July 14.-The Demo-
cratic state committee meets tomorrow. 1t
is understood the members from Louis
vile and other cities have sent their resig-
nations, and will not serve since the nomi-
nation of Bryan on the Chicago platform.
These members of the state committee and
the gold Democrats in the legislature will
cooperate with the national movement
for another Democratic ticket and plat
form.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1896-07-16

He was asked: What do you think of
the action of the Democratic papers in
the east bolting the platform"
"Oh," said Mr.. Sewall, they will all
come back into the fold. In the west the
people are all enthusiastic over the ticket
Mr.. Bryan is a very strong man. l have
no doubt but that when he presents his
views clearly before the people in the east
that they will be won over to his side. The
convention was exciting"

HARRITY STOOD WELL.
1t Now Develops That He Could Have
Been Nominated for Vice President.

Chicago, H., July 14-Notwithstand-
ing the fact that nearly all of the prom
inent leaders have gone to their respect
i've homes, the work of the convention
and it's chief incidents continue to be the
principal subject of conversation. The
leading and successful part taken by
William f. Harrity of Pennsylvania is
a matter of frequent comment. Not
only was he commended for ability, SIKH
and impartiality displayed by him dur
ing the three years in which he presid-
ed over the committee but the nomina-
ton for vice president was within his
reach. 1t is authoritatively stated that
prominent free silver leaders declared
some of them to Mr.. Harrity himself
that if he were willing to stand upon
the platform adopted he would receive
their support for the vice presidency and
be nominated.
Mr.. Harrity promptly advised them
that it would not be safe for them to
nominate him. He received q votes
from Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland,
Rhode Island and South Dakota and he
might have easily had the GA votes from
Pennsylvania had he not insisted that
Pennsylvania delegates should not vote
for him.
While there was no actual tender of
the craftsmanship of the Democratic ma
tional committee to Mr. Harrity. yet
it is known that enough of the silver
members of the committee were person.
ally friendly enough to him to secure
his election as chairman, had he con-
sented that they should do so.
Mr.. 1arrity replied to them and to
all others who spoke to him on the sub
ject that he would not accept the chair
manship again regardless of platform or
candidates.
