T1LImAN's VIEWS ON THE WEST.

Senator Tillman, of South Carolina,
has returned to Washington from his
Western tour, with his pitchfork in
fairly good working condition. In an
interview with Star reporter he said
ne was more confident than ever that
the silver Democrats would be in
charge at Chicago. Everywhere he
went he found that free silver was
the battle cry, and at the meetings
which he addressed he took 'hand pri-
mAries," which showed that the masses
OF the people wanted free silver.
This hand primary" is way the
Senator has OF ascersaining the views
OF his audience, and WAS introduced by
him in his first campaign for governor
of South Carolina. The plan is to call
upon all in the audience who favor q
certain thing to hold up their right
hands, which, having been done, he
calls upon those opposed to do the same
thing. By counting hands he Is able to
tell which side has q majority.
When asked If all the States west OF
the Mississippi would send silver dele
cations to Chicago, he said the only
doubtful ones were Iowa and Minnesota,
in which latter State he said the Demo.
cratic party was swallowed up by the
Populists, that is, the free silver part
of 1t.
Senator Tillman has decided to make
Southern tour during the campaign
and will speak In Georgia, Alabama,
Florida. Mississippi, Texas and Arkan.
sAs; but has not yet fixed upon the
dates. He will, no doubt, do his full
share OF talking in the next six months,
as he Is in no sense deficient in the
gift Of CAB or confidence in his ability
to make himself heard.

Missed the Love,iest Jewel.

a story of the carnival shows that an
age of chivalry can coexist with an age
of robbery. Nine. Charlotte T, q
Halles saleswoman and, moreover a
widow, went out, rs was only natural,
to have a look at the procession. She
found on her return that her Jewels had
been stolen in her absence, and as the
jewels were worth $500 it was O serious
loss For all ills, however, there are
compensations, and on the table the
thief had left a note, brief indeed, but

What the Alabama rna.

In the war between the northern and
southern states, which ragged in America
during 1865, we have the only in
stance in which steam cruisers have
been employed ON any scale to harry
commerce. The south had no commerce
to be attacked, but the north had a
large and prosperous merchant marine
From first to last the south sent II
steam cruisers and small sailing cruis-
ers to sen These captured between
them steamers and 261 sailing
ships-not very heavy bill of loss, one
would think Yet this loss practically
drove the United States flag from the
seas. To prove this, will quote from
the case of the United States, as pre-
sented to the Geneva arbitrators, the
following facts: "In 1860 two-thirds of
the commerce of New York was carried
on in American bottoms In 1868 three
fourths was carried on in foreign bot

United States to the British flag were
enormously large. They were:

The mediocre Alabama, a single

no doubt other contributing factors,

paper Advertising Cuts Is on Trial.

The Jury in the suit of the b. n. Nc
Coy Glass company against the Lacka-

morning after court convened, in favor
of the defendant. In the suit of ioos
Il Doyle against the Benai Israel Re

tiff for $500; and in the suit of p. Derby
& Co. against j. G. Anderson judg-
ment by agreement was taken Tor the
plaintiff i'm the sum of $i51.23.
The first case tried yesterday was
that of Fred. Mursch, of Pittston ave-
nue.. against John NJ. and Timothy
Burke. contractors. Attorney f. c.
Newcomb appeared for the plaintiff
and Major Everett Warren and Hon.
e. p. O'Malley We're attorneys for the
defendants. Mr.. Mursch is in the busi-
ness of manufacturing boilers and iron
fences.
He alleges that he repaired a boiler
for the defendants. the job being worth
about $500 and that they have not paid
him. for it. He claims that
the bookkeeper was sent over to
his shop to see what the boiler needed.
and that the bookkeeper at Mr.. Burkes
order ordered the repairs to be made.
DID NOT ORDER THE WORK.
When 1t was finished the defendants
refused to pay for it. and the reason
they gave in court yesterday was that
they did not order Mr.. Mursch to eX-
pend $500 worth of repairs on 1t, when
they could buy a brand new one of the
same kind for 5000.
The defendants did not deny that
they gave the boiler to Mr.. Mursch to
repair, but they wanted nothing done
to 1t except repairs which would cost
only small fraction of the amount he
charged. They denied that they gave
him carte blanche to do as he pleased
with the boiler. Charles B. Scott. the
Franklin avenue contractor and fur
nisher of mine supplies. was put on the
stand by the defendants, and he said
that new boiler of the size of the one
repaired by Mr.. Mursch for the Burke
Bros. could be bought in 1894 for $2l9
and now for $lS3. The jury went out
at 3l5 to deliberate and at adjourn
ment had not returned u verdict.
