in the garden walked,
And often her song would DC:
"Oh, every one looks at the peacock
but
There's nobody looks at me-
The princess was what the world calls
plain
And her beauty was in your eye;
And many the man she had mashed IN
vain,
Till she often would wonder why.
Then one day she thought: Its the
peacock's fault
So the peacock killed shall be;
And when there's no peacock TO look
at, then
The people will look at me-
The peacock was killed. and It's plumes
were used
For hat that the princess wore;
Fine feathers make fine birds, the
princess said,
"And that's just what 1 wear them
for:
But when she had strutted around
awhile
She sang in her misery:
"They look at the peacock's plumes in
my hat,
But nobody looks at me-"

A cooLWAYE TOMORROW.

Washington, July 10.-The intense
heat of the past ten days in the central
valleys due in part to stagnation of
the atmosphere has been broken by .
forward movement of the trough Of
low pressure from Kansas to the lake
regions and by the advance of high
pressure area from the north Pacific
coast to Colorado. A fall in tempera-
ture Of 20 degrees in "a hours has been
reported from Sioux City and Concord.
The area indicating the fall in temLer-
allure has advanced to the S0th merid-
ian and covers the whole country from
that meridian to the Rocky mountains
except Northern Louisiana and .ex-
treme northeastern Texas, Georgia and
South Caroline, where the temperature
has risen two degrees.

AN INEFFECTIVE NOTE.

Constantinople, July 10-The collect
i've note of the Powers demanding
the cessation of the obstruction of the
peace negotiations, which was handed
by the ambassadors to the Turkish
government yesterday, is couched in
the most severe terms. 1t insists that
the frontier between Greece and Turk
ey be left as traced by the military at
taches of the ambassadors of the Pow
ers and emphasizes the unanimous
determination of the Powers to secure
a prompt conclusion Of peace. AS,
however, the note does not fix the date
within which a settlement of the ques-
ton in dispute must be effected and as
it does not mention the steps it is pro-
posed to take in the event of Turkey
not yielding to the wishes of the
Powers, there is great doubt as TO
whether the note WIN have the desired
effect. - e.

THE RAILROADS.
COL. CROKER ILL

San Francisco, July 10.-C. F. Crock
er, vice president of the Southern Pa
chic railroad company, has been pros
trated by an apopletic stroke at his
home in San Mateo. The stroke is so
serious that DR.. George Chismore OF
this city was summoned by telephone
to the bedside of Mr.. Crocker, and was
taken there by a special train. Sub
sequently DR.. Matthew Gardner, chief
surgeon of the Southern Pacific com
pany was summoned. DR.. Gardner
denied that Mr.. Croker suffered a
stroke of apoplexy. He said it was
only fainting spell, but It is learned,
however, that Col. Croker is a very
sick man.

MIscEGENATIoN AT THE NORTH

THE prejudice against miscegenation
is just as strong at Philadelphia as
elsewhere in this country" said NJ. J.
Norton of the Quaker City, when ask
ed at the Planters as to the effect of
marriage on the social standing of the
young Philadelphia white woman who
taught in the public schools and who
has become the wife of the colored
ex-Minister to Hayti. Public opin-
ion is about the same on this question
all over the United States. Some stu
dents of the racial problem have in the
past assumed that the opposition to the
intermarriage of colored and white
people would gradually die out, and
that in the blending of the races would
be found a happy solution of the vex-
ed negro problem in this country
Time and experience have proved
this theory fallacious. In the three
decades that have elapsed since eman.
| cipation there has been no modification
of the belief that each race should joir
in matrimony with it's own. The me-
groes themselves do not aspire to mar
rage with the whites, and it is gen
orally known that a storm of censur'
was visited upon the late Fred Doug
lass by colored people because he die
not select a wife with colored blood

ENGLISH NOBILITY.
Grand Ball Given by the Duchess Of
Sutherland Last Night.

Grand Ball Given by the Duchess Of
Sutherland Last Night.
New York. July 10.--A special to the
World from London says:
Half dozen Americans have been
in close juxtaposition to England's roy
atty. 1t was at the ball given by the
Duchess of Sutherland at Stafford
house (the town residence of the Duke
of Sutherland)-a ball on a much more
magnificent scale than the Duchess of
Devonshire affair. Such flourish and
decorations never were seen in London
before. Fifteen Numbered guests join
ed in saying that no such entertain
ment was ever dreamed Of.
The show Of Jewels was finer than
that at Devonshire house, because
there were at Devonshire house, 1t Is
now known, many gems hired OF the
Partisan Diamond company.
These Americans were present.
The Duchess Of Marlborough, Lady
Randolph Churchill and her sister,
Miss Jack Leslie; Mrs. Harry Higgins,
Mrs. Ronalds. Lady Carnarvon, Lady
Naylor Leylans, Mrs. Arthur Paget.
No ball has been given in Stafford
house before in many years.
This one was for Miss Chaplin. Stat
ford house is the finest private resi-
dence in London. 1t has a white and
gold ball room 200 feet long.
While the Princess of Wales was
dancing with Prince Francis of Teck,
the latter made mistake in the quad
rifle. The princess tapped him on the
arm and very deliberately corrected
him. She was especially gracious to
the Duchess of Marlborough.
The princess was dressed in black
satin with silver gauze overdress.
The Prince of Wales has not been
so jolly since his horse won the derby.
The Duchess of Sutherland, one of
the most beautiful women in England,
wore a superb white and silver gown
with a splendid high diamond crown,
single necklace of very large dia-
monds and a stomacher of rubies and
diamonds.

GREAT MINE STRIKE.
All Pressure to be Brought Against
West Virginia. .


West Virginia.
Pittsburg, Pa, July 10.-The decision
of the labor leaders at last nights
conference to send organizers into West
Virginia and furnish funds to bring out
the miners in that state practically
narrows down the strike to fight be-
tween the coal operators of West Vir-
ginia and the labor unions of the coun-
try. The cry of the union miners will
now be that with West Virginia in line
the strike will ultimately be successful.
No money or effort will be spared it is
said, to accomplish the suspension of
every mine in that state. Special or
ganizers will also be sent to the mines
of the New York and Cleveland gas
and coal company and every argument
| used upon the men at work to induce
them to join in the movement Many
operators of this district are anxious to
get the miners of the New York and
Cleveland company out and in several
Instances money has been offered to
help pay the wages of the men If they
consent to strike. Coal is very scarce
in the Pittsburg market and it is i'm
possible to buy in carload lots. Fur
Their accessions to the ranks of the
miners were made today. At Allen.
port 200 men struck. The panhandle
mine of Hanna & Company is said
to have been shut down completely
today by order of Manager Young.
According to mining officials less than
500 men outside Of 1900 employed by
the New York and Cleveland company
entered the pits in this district today.
! Cleveland. Ohio, July 1O.-Mr. Dan
Hanna, of the firm of NJ. A. Hanna &
Co., declared today that the West Vir-
ginia miners would never quit work
and that coal could be secured from
that source If the railroads were pre-
pared to haul it.

DR.. G. M. STERNBERG.
The New President of the American
Medical Association.

The New President of the American
Medical Association.
DIR. George M. Sternberg, who was
elected president of the American Med
ical association, is one OF the most wide
ly known physicians in the country. He
is now approaching his sixty-first year,
and it is not too much to say that every
seasoned physician in the United States
has either met him OF heard of him.
DR.. Sternberg has no lack of expert
ence as physician. He was graduated
as an NJ. d. as long ago as 1860 from
that ancient and honorable body, the
College of Physicians and Surgeons of
New York, and before he had time to
see the world he found himself sur
geon in the United States army. His

first experience was with the army of
the Potomac, but he was captured by
the confederates at Bull Run. He es-
capped and went to Washington. Thence
the authorities sent him to Florida, and
the doctor made his first and most in
innate acquaintance with yellow fever.
Since that time he has been an authori-
ty on that disease. In 1879 he was sent
to Havana by the United States as a
member of the commission on yellow
fever, and in 1885 he attended the in
ternational convention on sanitation,
held at Rome. as the representative of
the United States. DIR. Sternberg has
rendered vast aid to science with the
results of his researches in the matter
of microscopic investigation, and his
additions to the literature of bacteriol-
ogy have been most welcome to his con-
treres insEurope and America. The doc
tors present rank is that of surgeon

cLEvELAND's CIVIL SERVICE q,

Washington, July 10.-The president
and the members of the civil
service commission have had a num-
Der of conferences recently on the
question of the revision of the civil ser
vice rules so as to exempt certain i'm
portant places which were included in
Mr.. Cleveland's last extensive order.
The final determination, however, has
not been reached, but it is altogether
probable that about 300 places are to
be taken out of the classified service.
These will include deputy collectors of
customs who are in charge of sub-sta-
tons and deputy collectors of internal
revenue who have charge of the dis
tribution of revenue stamps.

cLEvELAND's ORDER REVOKED.

Washington, July 10.-The order of
President Cleveland issued last Fbru-
airy reducing the number of pension
agencies in the United States from
eighteen to nine, will be revoked by
President Mckinley early next week.
AS the original order was not to go
into effect until September 1st next,
the only result of the revocation will
be to continue in force the present ar
rangement, allowing all eighteen of the
agencies to remain in operation. s...
