Tammany Leaders to Minimize the
Silver Plant and Emphasize the
Other Populistic Features.

New York. Aug. 1.-THE programme
of the Tammany leaders for the coming
campaign became known today. 1t is
their intention to affirm the Chicago
platform. in a revised form. The plat
form is to be edited to eliminate por-
tions which are Objectionable to a GER
tain class and to emphasize others so
as to satisfy the clamor of the anti
corporation and anti-monopoly contin-
gent.
The t'no government by injunction"
provision, the clause favoring stricter
government control of the railroads, the
expressions in the platform on the tar
if, the income tax and of sympathy for
the people of Cuba in their struggle for
independence, are to be given special
emphasis
The Tammany leaders desire to min
imize the Importance of the money
question as far as possible, believing
that even the most ardent advocates of
free silver do not pretend to think that
it's advocacy in a local campaign of the
character of the coming one will have
any effect.

Mr.. Bayard returned Thursday to his

The Duke of Marlborough's health is
very unsatisfactory, and he is taking a

his absence abroad, the customary pres

to be dispensed with. The duke takes

STEAMER FOR ALASKA.
John Cudahy Buys the Valley City
For Yukon Traffic.

Toledo. O., Aug: T.-,George Craig
today sold the stern wheel steamer
Valley City to E. D. Cummins, agent
for John Cudahy of Chicago. She will
be taken apart and sent by rail to Seat
tie and from there win go by steamer
to ST. Michael's, Alaska.
Together with five other steamers
now building at Seattle, the Valley
City will be used on the Yukon river
and tributaries in carrying supplies and
furnishing transportation to the miners
in the Klondike gold fields.
The Valley City has been rechristen-
ed the Captain John G. Barr. She reg
listers 22O tons and is lab feet long by 20
feet beam. She was built in 1892. The
consideration is not given.
The Valley City was built to run on
the Grand river between Grand Rapids
and Grand Haven. When the water
in Grand river got so low that the
steamer could not run there any more
she was taken to Toledo to run up the
Maumee. She ran there a season or
two, but the route did not pay and she
was sold to go down the Mississippi
river by way of the great lakes, Chi
cago, the old canal and the Illinois riv-
er.
She was too big to get through the
locks in the canal, however, and the
sale fell through.

GIVEN MORE LATITUDE.
CivilServica Regulations Arranged to
Suit Army Engineers.

Washington, Aug. 1e.-The engineers
of the army experienced some trouble
and made several complaints concern
ing the extension of the civil service to
the employees on public work under
their charge. The new regulations &C.
casioned considerable correspondence
which was finally transmitted to con-
gress, where the complaints were lodg-
ed by army officers. The regulations
have since been so arranged that the
engineers now say the civil service ex-
tensions will work in a most Satisfac-
tory manner. The right of selection of
men from any branch of the classified
service has been extended so that the
officers can investigate and inform
themselves for the qualification of the
clerks who are needed in their service
There was some apprehension also
expressed by paymasters who would
not feel like accepting any man who
might be furnished them for the conf
Dental and responsible positions which
such clerks occupy. The paymasters in
the army can select clerks from any
portion of the classified service and
such clerks may be subject to bond

Denver, Col, Aug. 16.-It is proba bic
that the great silver mines at Creole,
Col, will be closed down on account
of the low price of silver, unless the
railroad and smelling rates are re-
duced. Several conferences. have been
held between the mine owners and the
smelter and railroad officials, and it is
said the latter evinced a disposition to
make every concession possible in Or
deY, to keep the mines in opera alton. 1t
is also said that the miners at Creole
are willing to accept a reduction of
wages from SO per day of eight hours
to $2.75 in the wet mines and $3.50 in
dry rather than have the mines closed.

The study of domestic cattle should
be Of especial interest to us because they
have undoubtedly occupied a more inn
portant place in our own ancestral his
tory than any other species of animal.
The Aryan tribesmen from whom nearly
all western civilization folk are de-
scended were cowboys almost to a man.
Like the Kafiirs and damaras Of South
Africa today, all their thoughts were
about their herds. This is shown in
curious way by the study Of the early
development Of our language. The San
skirt word for a king meant originally "a
chief herdsman. The word fer an as
sembly, or the meeting place Of a con-
gress, was the same as that for o cow
yard. A soldier was lone who fights
about cows " It would seem as if they
regarded nothing else rs worth ruling
over or talking about or fighting for.
Professor Max Muller traces the word
daughter" to the ancient term for a
milkmaid. In the good old times they
plainly did not take any account Of
young ladies who were not accomplished
performers in the cowpen.
The COW OF OK was for long ages the
chief standard of value. Everything,
from new coat to a new wife, was
priced at so many COWS. Many Of our
words which refer to money bear traces
Of this, such as fee" and "pecuniary, &"
which are directly derived from the old
English and Latin words for cattle.
Doubtless there were currency disputes
when other materials began to be used
for coinage, and difficulties arose about
the adjustment Of relative values. "Cow
metallism" might we'll have been an
important plank in some of the Aryan
political platforms. North American

BITTEN BY A SNAKE.
That Is what the Victim OF Practical
Joke Thought.


ga good many years ago, " said an
ex-congressman to a party Of congress
men, Il was in Georgia A party of us
decided to go from Atlanta to Clarks-
Vile on horseback. Tim Murphy, an
Irishman, was lieutenant Of the At
lanta police force. He wanted to go,
tco, and we consented. On our way to
Clarksville, through the mountainous
sections of the state, we killed two large
rattlesnakes Murphy was amazed and
frightened. He wanted to know If
snakes were plentiful, and we told him
that they We're. We told him that at
Clarksville they had often been found
in the rooms of guests at the hotel Tim
hated to turn back and so went on.
1--WE knew that at Gainesville sa-
Icon keeper had a stuffed bull snake, and
we concocted a plan to make Tim wish
he had never left Atlanta. We got to
the old fashioned hotel all right We
were put in big room, with four beds
in it. We drank good deal, and Tim
was in excellent spirits. 1t was warm
night, and most Of US undressed. Tim
pulled off everything but his shirt. He
lay down face foremost across the bed.
Then tied a string around the neck of
the snake, put fishhook at the other
end of the line and cautiously hitched
the hook to Tins shirt
1.-THE next time he turned around he
got a glimpse Of the snake. Holy
schmokel' he yelled LookP And then
he made a dash for the window AS he
jumped out the window the fishhool
pricled him in the back. He uttered al
awful yell, said he had been bitten and
went flying through the sandy streets oi
the town dressed in Kongo style. We
followed and tried to catch him. At ev
cry step he swore he had been bitten
and that he would die. We OverhauleC
him after the whole town had beer
aroused. We took him back to the hote
and filled him with whisky, telling
him that was the only cure for a snak
bite The next morning he went to At
lanta and took a course under a phYsi
clan for snake bite. For years after tina
Tim would brag about killing 20 snake
at one time and of having been bittel
by one of them. He did not learn of tn
