MIR. DICk1NsoN's REASON.
Resigned From the Reform Club b,
cause OF Dunning for Dues.

Resigned From the Reform Club Be
cause OF Dunning for Dues.
1tnow transpires that exp Postmaster Gen.
erai Don NJ. Dickinson, whose resignation
as member of the Reform Club, Demo-
cratic organization of New York city, hav-
ing for its object the dissemination of sound
money principles, has attracted general at
tention, was the result of being requested
tu pay his back dues.
Mr.. Dickinson assigned as the reason for
his withdra wal that he had become dissatis
fled with the gold propa gandism of the
club as applied to the Southwest. When
this and similar explanations reached Sec
retary Windmue'ler his disgust and indis.
nation grew to such proportions that he
finally decided to state the exact motives
which impelled Mr.. Dickins IN to tender his
resignation. Mr.. Windmueller's version Of
the unplcasantness is as follows:
1.-The Hon. Don NJ. Dickinson, from De-
troit. resigned from the Reform Club on
February II, because a request made in my
behalf a treasurer to send Il check for 81 O.
amount of his annual dues-had annoyed
him. If he was displeased with the work OF
| our club, he did not say so at that time.
| If You call us false friends OF gold because
| you fail to agree with us on all points, you
! make an unjust charge. Friends and foes
of the Reform Club throughout the coun-
| try have acknowledged that our work
| has been well done, and that it has not been
| done in vain.''
| The Reform Club has in the neighborhood
| of l.: o. Nonresident members, each pay
| ing an annual assessment of $40. 1t is
| considered a regular routine proceeding to
| send bills to each and every one of these
| members when they become in arrears. and
| Mr.. Dickinson was made no exception to
the general rule. He was regarded as a
| very desirable member and at no time gave
any intimation thht he was not perfectly
satisfied with the work being performed
by the club in the way of sending out
educational literature
But it seems that withstanding his
! availability as member, he was not con
sdered of sufficient importance to be ac
corded any special favors, and Mr.. Wind
mueller continued at regular intervals to
send him statements showing the amount oi
his arrearage in dues to be $40.
Finally Mr.. Dickinson grew weary of these
duns, and wrote a letter protesting gains-
their continuance. In reply he was in
| formed that almost every member of the
club had at one time or another been re
quested to settle up, and it was considered
matter OF no unusual consequence The
resignation of membership thereupon fol
lowed.

Frank Mcclure, Michael Cavanaugh and

Judge Kinbail knew them well when they
were lined up before him this morning.
They have faced him many times and We're
recently released from the workhouse.
They are Migrants of the pronounced
type, and are dangerous characters to be
lurking around the public parks.
.'WiIen did you get out, McGuire?" asked
the judge.
''It'n be Jist two weeks terday."
'And you, Connaught?"
"Thirteen days ago."
"How about you, Rocket?' inquired the
court.
"Thirtcen, too"
"This time you will all get out to-

Village of HalbertsOn, Pa. Bought for
Two Thousand Dollars.
BrdgetoD, July 4.-Sheriff Allen r.
Shinn has Just had the unusual distinc-
ton of selling an entire town. Two
thousand dollars was the price paid
and the title of the Hebrew set
tlement of Halhertson, passed at public
salefrom the Cumberland Land and Improve
ment Company to the New Jersey Loan and
Investment Company, who had mortgage
upon the entire tract and foreclosed on it.
What they will do with the place is not
known. Halbertson was started some years
agotoprovide homes for the Russian Hebrew
immigrants. Twenty-Five houses We're
erected on the tract and large factory
nut up. For time the village prospered,
| but the class of people there were not
active and thrifty. and gradually it became
a deserted vilage, not one of the inIabi-
| tants remaining.
| Maurice River Township built a large
| school house there. which, like the other
buildings, is unusued This is believed tC
| be the first case on record of sheriff
| selling an entire town.

audience filled the house, great many
ladies' being present. He was introduced
by Rev. w. 7. sowing, distinguished

pitied him; that for years he had taught
true Democracy to the Kentuckians, but
"when his master told him to undo the
good work he had done he did his bidding" !"
He asserted that he would rather cut his
throat than remain in such employ longer.
He said he had always been Democrat
and his ancestors before him, ''but if Car
Isle and Cleveland are to set the pace for
Democrats I will declare myself to be no
Democrat"
He praised Senator Blackburn for re-
naming in the silver ranks and abused
that wing of the party which caused mis-
defeat He told mis- hearers that they were
towards to allow the sound money Demo-
Gratis to remain in power and that they
would be forever ruined if they permitted
the rings of the various counties to send
delegates to the State convention who
would pass resolutions indorsing Carlisle
for President
