It Is Alleged That Has Let Out Men
 Who Would Vote For Bryan.
 ST. LOUIS, Oct. 3.-Considerable of furor has been created in local political circles over the discharge of 12 clerks by Dugald Crawford, proprietor of a large department store in this city, for the reason, it is alleged, that they intended to vote for William J. Bryan for presi- deat.
 Chairman s. B. Cook of the Demo- cratic state central committee, has en- gagged ex- Governor Charles P. Johnson, noted criminal lawyer, to take up the ease and cause Mir Crawford's convic- tion under section 3742 of the revised statutes of Missouri, which makes his alleged offense a misdemeanor, punish ishable by imprisonment.
 The Missouri corrupt practice act, MT. Cook said, is also applicable to this case. In the course of an interview Chairman Cook said
 "Ci izens of the city of St. Louis have subscribed ample funds to defray the legitimate expenses of prosecuting vlo' Iaters of this law, and the Democratic state committee will as far as is in Its power, protect every man in the exer- else of his elective franchise and ylgor' onsly prosecute every person who, by intimidation, coercion or other unlawful

Dust, Upholstery and Disease.

Householders, in furnishing, would do
well to remember that the ordinary prac-
tice Of covering u floor with a carpet is not
without it's disadvantages, even its dan
gers. The particles which give substance
to the pure searchlight of q sunbeam as it
penetrates the window pane are of the most
varied character. Harmless as are very
many of them, there are also many moro
possessed of true morbiflc energy and capa-
BILE of almost unlimited multiplication.
Any one can see, therefore, how when
sheltered in dusty wooden hangings, chair
upholstery and carpets, they render these
articles veritable harbors of disease The
less we have of such the BETTER especially
In bedrooms. Some practical deductions
naturally suggest themselves. AS to cur
tains and carpets it is but rational that
they should, rs a rule consist of the
smoother and harder fabrics which will
bear thorough brushing. If thicker floor
cloths and rugs be used, they should be
such in size and arrangement that they
can be readily taken up and beaten. 1t is
but part of the same argument to say that
as much as the floor as possible should be
either vanished or laid with oilcloth, SO
as to allow of frequent cleansing. Cane
and leather, for II like reason, are incom
parably superior to the richest upholstery
when we como to speak of general furn-
ture. Some, perhaps, may imagine that
in making these observations we treat this
matter too much as a hobby. Only one
circumstance, however, is required in or
der to convince any such of their real and
practical significance, and that is the actual
presence of infectious disease When this
appears, all forms of cumbrous comfort in
the apartment must give place not merely
to freer and simpler arrangement, but
even to bare, sunlit and airy desolation.-

"Bat" Shea Reprieved.

" Bat" Shea, a Troy thug, under
sentence of death for shooting and kill
ing Robert Ross in fight at The mu.
been reprieved by Governor Morton.
Shea's case had passed the highest ju.
dicial scrutiny. Edward Murphy, dem.
ocratic senator from New York, who
resides in Troy, and one of whose
strikers Shea was, interceded in vain
for Communication OF the death SEN
tence TO life imprisonment. But now,
on he eve of the execution of Shea's
sentence, comes McGough who was
co cern.d in the fatal fight, and who is
serving there for long term in prison,
with a confession that it was he who
fired the shot that killed Robert Ross.
OF this confession and the degree of
creGibiity to be given it the New York
Tribune says: "McGough raises doubt
in Shea's favor, but nothing more.
His own testimony at the tlial was that
John Boand fred the fatal shot. II
that was tue his confession is a lie,
and, if he perjured himself then, there
is no reason TO thiuk he does not now.
Moreover, the testimony of twenty one
witnesses was positive as to the iden-
tity of shea. McGough had shot Will
lam Ross and Robert Ross attempted
to capture him. He tell and Robert
Ross fell on top of him. Then, accord
ing to the evidence, Shea stood over
them and shot Ross in the back Ct the
head How McGough could have shot
him in the back it is difficult TO see,
and it is equally d fficult to believe that
the many WITNESSES who testified def
nitely that they saw Shea standing
over Ross and firing at him were all
blind In view of the general imprt S.
sion in Troy and Albany that the cou-
fession is nothing but desperate move
to save Shea, it behooves the courts
and pubic pr secutors TO be watchtul
and carefully test its truth, and if it is
not true to leave nothing undone to Sc
cure the final punishment of the muir
derer of Robert Ross. The laws delay
must not be allowed TO end in the law 3

ga Thing of Beauty"

May it be ga joy forever" was my
thought as first entered the Lafay cite
Square Opera House, which is built
upon the ground where once stood the
old " Blaine mansion" The play was
"Trlby,' AMI for days there had been
standing room only on sale. We, having
secured our seats in advance, went late
purposely to see the richly caparisoned
equipages and the beautifully -attired
ladies and gentlemen, who, YOU mi hit
know from the different languages
spoken, hailed from every country on
the globe.
1t is a roomy and superbly fitted the
alter, complete in every detail, and, l
am told, fire proof. The first tier above
the orchestra floor is composed entirely
of richly-curtained boxes, seating tour
TO six persons each, and when flied
with ladies and gentlemen IN evening
dress presen ts very attractive spectA-
Gle. Above the boxes is the dress circle,
then the alitudinoua peanut gallery"
which seems, like Jacobs ladder, to
have its topin the sky.
the number it seats-seemed readily
to be amused by the gay scene and the
sweet music unul The curtain rose.
And the curtain, study in itself! A
real artist would care very little if it
did not rise at all. 1t was copied from
Cormon's celebrated painting, Lies
Vainquers de Salamine" G. The Con
querors Of Salamis y, which was pur-
chased by the French government and
now hangs in the Luxembourg in Paris.
The story, in brief, is as follows; "Sa-
lamis, mountainous island OF Gre ece
was the scene of great naval BEETLE
between the Greeks and Pelsians (4S0
b. CO. in the narrow channel between
the coast of Salamis and the west coas t
OF Attica. The Grecian feet, cousistln 2
of about $50 vessels, was drawn up at
the entrance of the bay forming the
harbor of Salams. Themistocles, the
Grecian leader, by straiegem, induced
Xerxes, king of the Persiaus, to bring
up his feet and give immediate battle
Aerxes drew up his ships, numbering
1000 at least, during the night previous
to the battle, opposite the Grecian fleet,
along the coast of Attica, almost block
ing up both entrances to the strait.
Confident of victory, if he himself SUI
perintended operations, Xerxes took bis
seat on a throne erected on lofty
height on the Attic coast. Both Per.
slams and Greeks fought with great
bravery, but the latter, though out.
numbered almost three to one, obtained
an overwhelming victory, destroying
2C0 of the Persian vessels, exclusive OF
what thew canturpd - The naintin a
