The Plan Is to Promote Mr..

This Will Leave Two Vacancies In
Council Delegation.
Proceeding Likely 10 Result In Triangular
Fight With Mr.. Darcy in IL

The mem bcrs OF the reform" Common
Council will get together tomorrow night
for the first time since the adjournment
on July for the summer vacation.
A resolution will be introduced calling
Tor q special election that the vacancy In
the Tenth Ward delegation, caused by
the death OF MIR. West, may be filled in.
IT is by no means certain that this resolu-
tion will pass, as some OF the members
from the Tenth Ward themselves are in
cllned to get along for the remaining
four months with three members. One
OF them prefers that course TO the fight
that would be sure to follow from a
special election at this time, especially as
any stirring up Of ward politics now
might materially affect the plans OF the
ward machine for the regular city cam
paign In November.
Attorney John W. Hogan was the first
man mentioned for the first place, and he
10 In the game In dead earnest. But he
has rival now In the person of Timothy
II. MoIloy, q worker of the third district
and the proprietor of N orth Main street
hat store.
Mr.. MolIoy claims that he has the sup
port of the waro committee and that he
was promised the next vacancy in the
delegation. n, does not think that there
will be a special election and prefers to
ak chances at the regular election In
Novem Der with Mr.. Hogan as a running
mate on the same ticket and not as an
opponent.
This reveals the plans of the ward COM
mittee for November which call for two
vacancies instead of one in the ward dele
cation. Molloy and Hogan are both
booked for places and the retirement OF
Alderman Darcy and the promotion of
Committeeman Ryan to the Board has
been devised on the method.
This would give MIR. Ryan and Mr..
Kavanagh to the first district, Mr..
Beane to the second and the two new
members. Attorney Hogan and Halter
Molioy, 10 the third.
II, however, there is TO be special
election. Mr.. Hogan's friends claim that
he should bethe one TO finish the unex-

OF course this plan OF campaign does
not meet with the approval OF Alderman
Darcy. He will not withdraw voluntarily
and mem Der OF the city committee said
today that II Mr. Darcy should fail to
get the caucus nomination he would
probably run on an independent ticket
against air. Ryan. Colonel James ii. Nc
Gam is apt to do the same, making
Q triangular fight among the Democrats
and Mr.. William II. Covell is named as
the Republican nominee to run against

This rumor 80 far n. 1t relates to Mr..
Covell does not coincide with that
other statement made by a number OF his
friends that the Republicans will choose
him to oppose Mayor McGuinness. But
then they arc both rumors.

A Veterans Story About

Sentenced to GuillOtine But
Escaped Execution.
Passing of "Toothpick" TOed Shoes.
Sample of Postal POesy.

Veterans OF the war OF the Rebellion
have good memories and when they are
in q reminiscent mood they seldom fail to
tell sonnet hing that Is interesting to those
whom homage prevented from partici-
pating in the stirring scenes and strug-
giles that occurred between 1861 and 1865.
One of these veterans was chatting with
party of friends last evening about army
service when he asked those about him
IL they remem bered Captain de Rudio,
whom he said had recently been retired
from the Seventh United States Cavalry.
None OF tho party seemed to recall the
soldier referred to. and the veteran said
that was rather curious as besides be-
ing a splendid soldier de Rudio had the
unique and remarkable distinction OF
having been twice sentenced to death
and OF living to tell the story at his
own hreslde.

A shoe dealer tells the Gossiper thnt
tho DAYS ofthe sharp pointed shoes are
mum bered. The passing OF the "tooth-
pick" marks an epoch in the history Of
footwear. The ultra fashionable indi-
viuai hereafter will have no difficulty IN
standing sgusrely On his own feet IN
stead OF bearing down on those Of his
neighbor with that useless pro-
lection which IL the most promi-
nent and pronounced feature
of foot wear OF the toothpick type. Many
styles of shoes have been worn but it is
said that the pointed toe maintained its
supremacy longer than any OF them. 1t
has had to give way finally, however,
and the fall styles show wider range Of
round aud square toed shoes than has peer
found In the shoe dealers stock for
many years.

In 1858 he was sentenced to the guillo-
tine for participating in the Orsini con-
spiracy to assass mate Louis Napoleon.
He had hidden farewell to his wife and
child and had been conducted to the
guiliotine by the guard and the black
cap was adjusted to his head. At his
own request he was given few minutes
TO smoke his pipe. At that moment q
courier arrived with a reprieve. The
Empress had pleaded with the Emperor
and with the Senate to spare the young
est Of the three men, and finding that her
pleauings were in vain she bad ordered the
prefect OF police not to carry out the
sentence. rhe emperor was very angry.
but oil he could do under the circum-
stances was to order another trial. At
the end OF this second trial de Rudio
was again sentenced 10 death, but this
sentence wss subsequently commuted to
exile for life. He effected his escape end

ing to the rank OF captain.

OF course a statement OF this charac-
ter was followed by n demand from
each of the party that the veteran
tell de Rudio's story, which he
did without much further
solicitation. De Rudio, said the vet
eran, IS native of Venice and hrst
entered the Austrian army. This he left
to join the Venetian Legion OF the Cac-
oiatori delle Alpi in Venice after the revo-
luton of 1S4s In this he served until
1si9, when he left Venice aud entered
Gsribaldi's legion at Rome. With the
last-named legion he took part in the
battle OF April 80, ls4a, against the
French. He also fought at the battles OF
PaIestrina and Velletri and at the siege OF
Rome until the fall of that city.

a SUCCESSFUL BOOK.

Harpers Weekly gives some very
interesting facts about the famous
novel. Trilby." which everybody read
for a year and a half and which has
few readers today. The Weekly says
that it is commonplace that the au-
thor of charming book is a public
benefactor; but perhaps few have re-
allied that a successful author is, in
proportion to his success, more or
less eminent philanthropist that he is
not less beneficent, moneywise, than
the rich man who thrusts his hand into
his well-fled pocket, and taking there
from one hundred thousand dollars. or
half a million, Or even a million dol
lars, puts that amount into circulation
to stimulate industry, and to be dis
tributed among working people of all
grades; and that in Illustration of this
fact it may be interesting to note that
more than one million dollars has been
thus put in circulation as direct con-
sequence of the publicat ton and dram
atization of "Trilby" 1t is further
stated that up to January 25 1896. the
sales of copies of Du Maurier's novel
in this country, added to box office re-
ceipts at representations of the play in
New York and other points in the Uni
ted States, and to the royalties upon
the book and the play, give a total of
little less than million, dollars; and
this does not include the product of
sales and representations in England
certainly large sum, although infor-
nation is lacking in regard to the pre-
else amount.
This is truly remarkable. Compare
it with the eight pounds that Milton
got for Paradise Lost That is not
a proper comparison, it is more of a
contrast than anything else. But com
pare it with what Scott received for his
famous novels or what Macaulav re-
ceived for his History of England F."
Scott wrote more than score of as
great novels as were ever written. nov
els destined to be famous so long as
English literature lives And still thew
did not make much more of a success
than has this one work of
Du Maurier; nor was their instant pop-
ularity greater than that of Du Maui
rier's novel. The success of that work
is truly remarkable and is unite
unique.

of the bell. He never forwarded their
purchases nor turned the money he
had received into the treasury. We
have not yet decided whether or not
we will prosecute him. Several of the
members of the executive board favor
his prosecution, but others plead his
family and his poverty-for he has no
funds left so far as we can ascertain
as reasons for permitting him to be I'M
molested. His fall was due 10 Wall
street"
This statement shows very plainly
that Mcdowell banked upon the pat
riotism of his countrymen both at
home and abroad. We Americans pride
ourselves upon our smartness, but we
are about as gullible a people as ever
lived when our patriotism is appealed
to. That appeal seems to blind us and
deprive US Of all powers of discrimi-
nation. Almost any kind Of a scheme
can be worked if those in charge of
it will but deftly manipulate the APP
peal to patriotism. 1t was beautifully
worked in this city few years ago
through that magnificently planned
scheme known as the copper plant.
Aside from the shortage in the Lib
erty Bell associations accounts, the
bell itself is now in Chicago. 1t was
placed in storage in New York. With
out the consent or knowledge of the
associations executive committee, Nc
Dowen placed it, and the car built ex-
pressly for it, in charge of one Knapp
and sent it to Chicago. Knapp was
never paid his salary and he holds
the bell as security. 1t is the inten-
ton of the association TO raise money
by means of entertainments and other
wise to redeem the bell. Congress will
also be asked to make an appropria
ton for its keeping. And thus far of
this patriotic scandal.

PROTECTION IS NOT THE ISSUE.

The persistence with which McKin-
ley's managers are trying to force pro-
lection to the front as the issue is
truly amazing. The people at large
care nothing about it, If the Repub
leans are successful and elect the
president and congress, the people do
not believe there will be any great
changes in the tariff, for they recognize
the fact that the present tariff law is
not SO very much lower than the Me
kinley bill was, and that schedules
under new bill would not differ very
materially from what they are now. No
doubt wool would be taken off the free
list and some other changes made.
But the people are not even demand
thinks differently. He declares that
''it is impossible for Democrats or
boiling Republicans to divert the is
sue from that of protection. 1t can't
be done. Our candidate, Major Nc
kinney, is perfectly sound on the
st. Louis platform. But he repre-
sents first, no matter how thoroughly
he also represents sound money, the
idea of such protection of our do
nestle markets from imported pro-
ducts of cheap foreign labor as will
enable factories 30 run on full time,
and all the working people of the Unit
ed States to be paid the best wages
they can earn
He is simply deceiving himself 1t is
impossible for him or the Republican
party or any person or party to divert
the issue from the financial question
The progress of the campaign will
prove this.

TALES OF THE DAY.
He Knew seeds if Not Latin.

Every lover of art knows of the cele-
pTated works OF MISSIONER, the painter.
Now Meissonier not only could paint, but
ne could tell a good story, and ne was
especially fond of relating this little
aneedote OF his gardener whose horti-
cultural erudition was remarkable
A slnatterng of learning is a dangerous
thing, and Meissonier's gardener had a
little knowledge of the Latin tongue.
winch he was fond of using to name his
different plants. Meissonier for a long
time was skeptical of his gardener s
Latin so one day he set trap for him
by giving him the roe of a red herring
and asking what seed it was
Without hesitation the gardener gave it
a long Latin name and promised that it
would bloom in about three weeks. Meis-
sonier cfluckled to himself and agreed to
inspect the blooms in three weeks or
more. When the time came the painter
questioned his learned horticultural about
1t, and that party led him into the hot
house to an enormous flower pot There,
sure enough, We're the blooms in the ma
ture Of the heads of six red behring's just
emerging from the dirt in the pot. Meis-
sonler breathed deep sigh and shook his
gardeners hand, exclaiming: What a
WONDERFUL man you are!"-Harper S

AT CHICAGO.

The situation at Chicago remains
much the same. The silver men are
still very confident and will no doubt
control the convention in all things.
That the gold men will yet be heard
from there is no doubt Whether they
are preparing what they think will be
coup no one can say. 1t is possible
they are. The silver men will be pre-
pared for it, or anything else
Just at present the tariff question
seems somewhat prominent. There
may be some little difference of opin-
ion as to just what declaration the
convention should make on this sub
ject, but not much 1t is possible that
the tariff plank of 1892 will be adopted.
The question of the temporary chair
manship is now the most important
matter. There are indications that
there will be very lively time over it.
The gold men seem to be bracing UP
on the matter and are inclined to in
sist on following custom and having
the national committee name one. If
they do, it may precipitate a fight on
the floor of the convention.
The boiling silver Republicans seem
to be very active. Their activity at a
Democratic convention is nothing but
impertinence, and they work nothing
but injury to the cause they would
advance

a PATRIOTIC SCANDAL.

The famous Columbian liberty bell
that was at the Chicago Worlds Fair
will be remembered by visitors to the
fair. 1t appears that it has become
the subject of a scandal According to
e Washington dispatch 10 a Chicago
paper, the president of the Liberty
Bell association is said to be short in
his accounts a very considerable
amount, $4,000 of which he is said to
have admitted having misappropriated
The recording secretary Of the asso-
citation, Mrs. Ballinger, has made a.
statement. In it she says:
1.-The result of the committees in
vestigations is that between $4,000 and
100000 belonging to the association is
missing. Mcdowell claims to have used
only $4,000, but the committee places
the amount Of his populations at the
figures I give above. He agreed to
sell 100 fac-sjniles of the bell to one
organization at SIS each. He has fail
ed to deliver the goods. He also wrote
to number of patriotic Americans
abroad urging them to buy fac SMILES

but the people feel that there has been
no proper official supervision of the
institution. There is no charge of
wrongdoing, so far as the Statesman
knows, but there is the feeling that
things might have been different if the
government had had the right to in
vestigate the affairs of the institu-
tion.'' The Statesman's comments are
inapplicable in this case as the bank
that failed was private institution,
and therefore was subject to no state
SUPERVISION nor could it have been. The
failure in no way argues for or against
a state bank system.

TILE CARNIVAL.

Today the great midsummer carnival
ends. 1t has been glorious success.
Thousands have come to our city and
have enjoyed themselves, while moth
ing has occurred to mar the pleasure
of the happy time. The spirit of the
carnival has filed the air and all the
people have been on pleasure bent.
Thus far the crooked classes have not
been particularly in evidence; this is
very remarkable when the size of the
crowds is considered, and a matter for
congratulation. 1t speaks well for the
efficiency of the police service. Today
the carnival closes. 1t closes on our
nations natal day, and all the city
will be out holiday making. 1t should
be a genuine carnival day when re-
straint and Formally are thrown
aside, when people may give loose
to hilarity and merrymaking; for it
should be remembered that "a little
nonsense now and then is relished by
the wisest men, Therefore on this
the last day OF the carnival let joy be
unconfned."
