PROTECTION THE ISSUE.
President Cleveland said to Favor Making
the Fight on Iariff Lines.

the Fight on Iarif Lines.
New YORK, MAY %. A Tribune
special from Washington says; 1t is
understood here that President Cleve-
land favors the nomination Of ex.Gov.
Mckinley for the reason that he pre-
fers the next campaign should be
fought on the tariff line rather than
that of the financial question. Presi.
dent Cleveland regards ex.Gov. McKin.
ley as more properly the friend and de-
fender of protection as political issue
than any other man who has been
named prominently for the ticket to
be nominated at st. Louis. President
Cleveland, these same authorities say,
is firmly of the opinion that both OF
the parties will declare for sound
money, although there may be a vari.
ance in the manner they express them
selves on the question. He feels, how.
ever, that the important point will be
on the question of protection, against
what he has been pleased to term
tariff reform, preferring to call free
trade under that name As was
stated, II this turns out to be the fact
and the democratic convention at Chi
cago Is willing, he will consent to be
again candidate but not otherwise.

A GREAT SNAKE COLONY.
An Australian Enthusiast Has Fine Col
lection Of venomous Reptiles.


Mr.. ]. McGarvie Smith, an eminent
bacteriologist Of Sydney, Australia, is
the proprietor Of probably the greatest
collection Of snakes in the world, says
the New York World. He is in
the business partly for scientific
purposes and partly for business. He
advertised some time ago for 500 venom
GUS reptiles, but one publisher refused
to permit the advertisement until he
had satisfied himself of the sanity of
the scientist.
The different species of venomous
snakes in Australia, so far as known,
number AZ, and Mr.. Smith has speci-
mems of all Of them. The poison ex-
tracted from the reptiles is largely used
in the pasteur institute in Paris.
Mr.. Smith is an enthusiast on the
subject Of snakes, and regards them as
the most wonderful Of living creatures.
He has in his collection serpents that
have gone nearly year without food
and are still fat. He has injected some
Of their own poison into them without
the slightest ill-effects to them. As
result of his Investigations he has estab-
lished the fact that non-poisonous
snake is not affected in any way by the
poison of the venomous species.
"Why," said Smith, sit does not kill
one of its own species while tits so fatal
to other creatures is one Of the myste-
ries Of the Almighty which we cannot
unrayel."

PARIS DRESSMAkERS.
There Are Enough Of Them to Form .
Good Sized Town.

Good Sized Town.
Paris is the city where the dressmak-
ing trade fourishes as it does 10 no
other spot in the world. In 1880 the
number Of couturieres. as given in the
Annuaire du Commerce. the CONNER
cial directory Of those days, was only
1853. There were besides CT shops for
the sale Of ready-made feminine appar-
ell. but there were none, as there are
to-day, which sold lingerie or certain
articles exclusively.
In the Bottin las the Paris direc-
tory is Familiarity KNOWN of 1895 there
are 1886 couturieres and 296 CONNER
cial houses for the sale of ready made
garments, besides many establish
ments which manufacture and sell
jupons de desous or under-petticoats
alone. The number of working Dress
makers in Paris Is estimated at $4,000.
In all France, according to M.
Georges Michel, the industry of manu-
featuring the various articles Of wom-
ans dress is in the hands OF 81, 400 male
and 143,64S female owners of shops or
factories. These furnish employment
to 70O,sO1 persons, Of whom over $780,
900 are women.
In addition to these there are 925, 1856
persons who make their living from in
dustries which are tributary to that
of the manufacture of feminine appar-
el. The total value Of the product Of
this labor from 50 many hands Is esti-
mated at G50,000,000.

MICROBES ON STAMPS.


Having successfully disclosed the n.y.
gienic dangers adherent to the kiss,
the telephone receiver and the towel,
medical science has now turned its at
tention to the perils that beset the
philatelist's art. According to DR..
unna, says the Science News, patient
was recently attacked by peculiar
parasitic growth in the beard. On max
ing minute examination of some of
the hairs, the doctor recognized the dis
ease as "picdra," which is chiefly met
with in British Columbia. The doc
tors friend had never been in Columbia,
but he frequently received letters from
correspondents there, and, being col
lector of postage stamps, he was in the
habit Of removing them from the let
ters. In DR., Unna's opinion the gum
on the postage stamp is an excellent
material for retaining any disease
germs that it may receive from the ap-
plication Of the tongue, and in remov-
ing stamps--even when moistening is
done with the sponge-there is always
a danger that the collectors fingers
may receive and communicate the con-
tamination.

MADE FROM NIGHTMARES.


MethOds Used by Artists VINO Design
Popular Grotesque Posters.
People who dine late at night in a
certain uptown restaurant may have
noticed well-dressed, wild-eyed, bag
gard-faced, dyspeptic man devouring
night after night with apparent relish
dishes which only the ultra brave have
courage to eat more than once month.
That man is an artist, says the New
York World, and eating indlgestible
food is a part of his business, for he
is a maker Of posters. Since the use
Of grotesque posters, built on the lines
Of Aubrey Beardsleys phantom fam
cies and on the principle of Chimpanzee
Johanna's savage sketches, has become
general as means of advertising news
papers it is no more than right that
the world should know how the de-
signs are conceived.
The case Of this wild-eyed, haggard-
faced, dyspeptic artist alone will be
cited. His may or may not be the
method used by all the better poster
makers. Every night he goes to this
uptown restaurant, eats a welsh rab-
bit, cold bIOiled lobster, two cream
rolls and dish of ice cream and drinks
a quart of cheap claret. Then he goes
home, drinks two glasses of ice water,
retires and the nightmare does the rest.
In the morning he sketches the hor-
rors he saw in his dreams and finishes
them as the orders for posters pour in.
He is making fortune in the business.

PROHIBITI0NISTS.
Mrs. Cougar Wants the Platform
Made to Suit Her.
METHODIST GENERAL CONFERENCE.
A Clash Between MinIsteriAl and Lay DELE
gates on the section for Equal Repre-
sentstion-Dr. nartzsll Elected
Bishop for Africa.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, May 25,-As the
time for the national prohibition con.
vention approaches, the prospect for
bitter fight over the money plank Of
the platform increases Samuel
Dickey, chairman Of the national GEN.
trail committee, who has attended every
national convention since the prohibit
ton party started, said yesterday that
he had never before seen the lines so
sharply drawn upon any question In
the party. To adopt free silver
plank, he believes, will cost the party
100000 votes at the election.
On the other hand, ex-Gov.
John p. st. John, Of Kansas,
believes the adoption Of Il free silver
plank, together with planks for gov.
eminent ownership Of railways and
telegraph lines and anti-monopoly,
will add 100000 votes 10 the party
strength, II not secure the election Of
a third party president. III Mckinley
Is nominated at St Louis and II the
democrats adopt gold standard plank
at Chicago, then the prohibition candi-
date for president will stand good
chance for election, II we adopt free
silver plank" he said.
Helen M. Cougar, Of Indiana, q
strong broad gauge advocate, arrived
yesterday. "There are just three
things which l ask" she said, land II
the convention refuses, shall with
draw my support from the national
ticket The prohibition platform
must declare for prohibition, woman
suffrage and financial REFORM" Mrs.
Cougar went on to say that II the con-
vention failed to do this, all the active
advocates would withdraw with her
and they would 60 back to their re-
spective states and work for their state
tickets, ignoring the national ticket.
She is confident that the broad gaug-

STORMY SCENES IN THE CONFERENCE.
CLEVELAND, o., May 20. There were
stormy scenes In the Methodist general
conference yesterday. 1t was by all
odds the most tumultuous session that
has yet been held. There was clash
between the ministerial and lay dele.
gates, and for time in the afternoon
Bishop Hurst, who was in the chair,
lost all control OF the assemblage. The
contest came over the fourth section
Of the new constitution as reported by
the committee. When the section was
read an amendment providing for
equal representation for the laymen in
the general conference was proposed.
Many bitter things were said, and
it looked for time as If there
could be no reconciliation between
the ministers and laymen. Finally,
however, peace was restored by
the withdrawal OF the amendment
with the understanding that the whole
matter should be brought up again in
different form.
The election Of DR.. j. c. Hartzell, Of
as missionary bishop for
Africa to succeed Bishop Taylor, who
was retired, was the incident Of the
session. The conference
decided to hold two sessions daily
until the adjournment in order that
The business might be disposed Of.
