 Mrs. J. V. Allen, of Sheffield, read an excellent paper from Mrs Wilhoyte, of Sheffield giving admirably advice concern ing the establishment of travelling libra ries.

Other matters occu- pied the attention of the executive board, which did not adjourn until o'clock p. m. Some of the delegates will spend today in the city; others will leave this morning.

An Alleged Thief Who Had Rather Steal Than Have Things Given to

T jest ain't gwine take but one more scuttle coal into dat dry goods depart ment-dis nigger's got to be gittin home" ]"
 These were the words of Henry Anderson as he passed through the grocery depart ment of certain establishment on Second avenue on his way to the coal house, which is in the rear, outside. The sales men and porters were all as busy as a nest of ants, but not too busy for the quick and sharp eye of the head por- ter to smell a mouse" metaphorically speaking. So when Henry had passed on, the head porter took a casual trip of ob- servation to the coal house and found some articles stored therein which are not usually kept in a coal house-several hams. for instance. A number of crates of hams had been opened in the rear of the grocery department, and it seems that Henry took along ham on each return trip to the coal house, as a sort of ballast, it is sup posed. At any rate, the porter informed one of the salesmen, who kind O ''sot' for MT. Anderson, and, sure enough found him, on his return to the coal house, ship ping" his usual ham ballast" it is al- legged. Of course Anderson was pulled
 This alleged act of Henry Anderson shows to what depth of degredation a man can stoop. The hams while they were sound and sweet. were being sold at ' cents pound Git was at the great depart ment stores of the Messrs. Drennen, where they sell everything. and the best of every thing, the cheapesD, and it seems unrea- sonable that any man should steal an ar ticle which he could have bought for next to nothing.
 Anderson was taken in charge by Officer Patton, and will explain his action before Judge Feagin this morning. **+

Mrs. LangtY's Snub
 From the lockY Club

Perhaps Mrs. Langtry, the notorious Jer- sey Lily, has received her most serious so-' cial blow from the Jockey Club of London, a lew days ago, when it resoluted to the effect that "only the daughters, wives and sisters of the members will be admitted to the enclosures, and private stands at Now market and other race courses, except on the presentation of a voucher signed by member of the club" This Is supposed to be a direct blow at Mrs. Langtry, who recently, after the victory of her horse, Norman, was carried with a great Ringley flourish into the most exclusive premises of the race course by the Prince of Wales.
 London is at present greatly agitated over the possible return of Mrs. I.angtry to society, and the action of the Jockey Club has added fuel to the smouldering fire, and now the fierce blaze is about to break out in the staid English capital.
 It Is not positively known that Mrs. Langtry cares to return to London society, for she has been apparently fascinated with her professional career The recent death of her husband has infiamed those conserv- atiye English people afresh against her, and now the aggressive course of the Jockey Club towards her closes one of the most hopeful social avenues that prom ised to the Jersey Lily another opportunity to reclaim her position and to become in a measure reinstated in the good graces of London people Popular opinion is said to indorse the course of the Jockey Club to- wards Mrs. Langtry. She has, by her con duct for many years, forfeited the respect and regard of her fellow countrymen and women, and of every person who estcems the purity of womanhood as beyond the price of rubies, yachts, diamonds and race horses.

Republican candidates in certain coun-
ties. The cases win be brought In the
lower courts and thence to the supreme
court as soon as possible. The Repub-
lican state committee also has lawyers
preparing cases Of contest. The Re-
publlcans get three representatives on
the face OF the returns from Delaware,
Noble and Wood counties whose plu-
ralities aggregate l42, and change OF
seyenty-two votes would have given the
Democrats a control OF the legislature.
The Republicans claim that the Denis
ocrats also elected members OF the leg
islature on close margins, that there
were ten counties In the state that gave
less than 100 plurality each for their
candidates for the legislature and that
Democrats secured as many members
on these small pluralities as the Repub-
llcans, Both sides are preparing for
contests, first In the courts and after
ward In the legislature, As each
branch OF the legislature is the tribunal
OF last resort In judging OF the qualif-
cations OF It's own members, the Repub-
licans have an advantage In their con-
troll of the house over the Democrats,
who control the senate. There are
thirty-six senators with only two or
three contests possible in that body,
In the house there are 100 members
with dozen or more seats that can be
