SULTAN GETS NO COMFORT.

ter Yield.

CONsTANTINoPLE, July 12. 49, Queen
Victoria, Emperor William, Emperor
Nicholas, President Faure and King
Humbert have replied to the kilograms
received by them from the sultan, and
all give advice similar to that sent by
Emperor Francis Joseph, who told him
be had better yield to the powers,
which were in perfect concert.
Emperor William says in substance
that he regrets his inability to dissocia-
ate himself from the views held by the
other powers.
Replies to the circular of the Turk

the porte from such step.
This latest proposal on the part of the
Turkish government is held to indicate
that the sultun does not intend to yield
in regard to the frontir question.

A ietter of Grover Clevsiand to the
boiling gold Democrats of Iowa, in
meager convention at Des Moines, was
read yesterday, advising them to con.
tiuue their disorganzing course-that
by so doing they might defeat the Dem
ocratic party and give victory to the
Republican parry. The time has passed
when the words of Grover Cleveland
on the money question have any in
fluence or weight with the Democracy
of the United States. He has fallen
from his high estate as trusted coun.
Gil or of the Democracy. The Kisses
with which his name was greeted at the
Fourth of July celebration of the New
York Democrats and the laundering
cheers that greeted the name of Bryan
tell the whole story of ingratitude and

Of a cobbler who was sentenced by a
Scottish magistrate to pay fine of half
a crown, or, in default, "a hours hard
labor. If he chose the latter he would
be taken to the jail at Perth. "Theh
I'll go to PERTH" he said, for l have

vcyed him to PERTH, but when the cob
bier reached the jail he said he would
pay the fine. The governor found he
would have to take it. "And now," said
the cobbler, 81 want my fare home"
The governor dcmurred, but discovered
there was no alternative; the prisoner
must be sent at the public expense to

A KENTUCKY ROMANCE.
How Mr.. Whitley Found Both q
Wife and Daughter.
widow Berry Bound and Imprisoned
Her Love-sick Daughter ard
EIoped In Her Place with a
MystIfed Lover.

Kentucky has furnished another ro-
nance for the world, and this time the
White Oak neighborhood has flashed
into sudden prominence on account
of it.
Mrs. Martha Berry, pretty widow
not beyond her 40th year, and her
daughter Matilda, who is well in her
teens, have lived for several years in
their vine-covered cottage near Green
up, greatly respected by their neigh
bors, and favorably known to the people
of the township.
johnson Whitley, prosperous young
farmer, whose acres joined the Berry
land, had been for long time visitor
TO the cottage, and rumor coupled his
name with Matilda, and looked for the
marriage of the young people to COM
plete tho pretty love story. 1t was gen.
orally supposed that they would be mar
ried soon; but for some reason or other
the widow withheld her consent, and
oil the pleadings of the lover and the
csaxings Of her daughter fell upon un-
hearing ears.
There was no objection to the young
| man as far as anyone could see. In
fact, when some one went to Mrs. Berry
and asked her if she disliked her daugh-
ter's lover personally, she flushed rosily
and answered with q most emphatic
mo" She even allowed him to con-
tinue his visits, and quite often staid
to visit with him herself when he came,
Matters went along in this way for
some time, and then the watchful
mother discovered that Matilda and
Whitley had made arrangements to
elope. Friday night was the time sci
for the fight, and when it grew dark
the widow went TO her daughters room
"Lie down and rest a little while
dear, and I'll sit by YOU" she said; and
as the girl complied she slipped a gag
in her mouth before she could utter G
sound. Then binding her hands anG
feet, she carried her into her own room
and tied her fast to the bed. This done

FOUR CROOKS
Come I'm Contact With General |. Il,
Sherwood and Relieve Him
of His POcketbOOk.

A bold robbery was committed by
pickpockets at the Big Four depot,
Thursday night, says the Tiffin Daily
Tribune. The victim was Gen. Isaac r.
Sherwood, of Canton, who has been here
attending the races in the interest OF the
Western Horseman and the American
Sportsman. He was in the act OF taking
the Big Four train, north. to go home.
Four crooks were concerned in the.deed
As Mr.. Sherwood was entering the car
his way was blockaded by two fellows
in front and the other two crowded from
behind one exclaimiDg, "move on, SC
we can get in the car" Mr.. Sherwood
did got suspect anything and managed
to push the fellows to one side, and con-
tinue on into the coach.
1t was after he had taken seat that
he discovered that his pocketbook was
missing. He at once left the train, but
in the meantime the pickpockets had
made good their escape. The theft was
reportep to the police and stranger
giving the name of John Rogers, ol
Chicago, ILL.,, was arrested on suspicion
but this morning Gen. Sherwood could
not Identify him at the police station
Rogers was released.
The pocketbook contained $50 ir
money, a note for $3.50 and railroad and
steamship passes, which in reality were
of more value than the money. The
General hoped to find the pocketbooh
and papers today, but although look
out was kept for them they we're no
recovered.

Divide and conquer makes an easy
way to victory; and this it was that gave
the Republican party its triumphs two,
three and four years ago, Those days
are gone, not soon to return, although
our opponents would like them to con-

will pay well to bring again this
very year. The q. o. p. organs are, and
have been laboring to that end, making
much of "gold Democrats" and also en-.
couraging the Peoples party.
AS for "gold Democrats" they are not
worth considering as political force,
for there can be no such Democracy.
The foundation stone of the Democratic
party is, and always was, the constitu'
ton. Mr.. Jefferson's test for official ap-
pointment was: "Is he honest; is he
capable; is be faithful to the constitu.

the law and served the money tyrants
of the world. Oh, for one term of brave
Andrew Jackson. But since we cannot
have that hero we will be satisfied to try
the gifted and gallant William j. Bryan
This year, if we read the signs Alright,
there will be no divided Democracy.
Hanna and his money may succeed in
getting few fellows to make the effort,
but they will fail. Every good cause is
liable to have Judas or Benedict
Arnold, but these were not success
and their names are only preserved by
their infamy.

1t is said that bicycle hallucinations
are becoming a recognized nervous dis
order. Some are unable to ride on a
street where cars pass. They have a
wild desire to fall against them. Others

always just behind them. One man con-
suited physician for trouble with his

was told not to watch his front wheel;
to sit up straighter. He was soon cured.

with some friends quite late and when
he started home he suddenly remem-

which he had not deposited in the
bank, having received the money too
late. Seeing several suspicious look

he became somewhat fearful of danger
and waited until the night policemen
made their regular trip on West Main

THE TARIFF BILL

Passed the senate Wednesday evening
by vote of 3S to 2S. The yeas was
given by 95 Republicans, two silver
Republicans Jones and Mantle) and
one Democrat (McEnery). The
negative votes we're cast by 25 Demo-
Gratis, two Populists Harris, of Kansas,
and Turner and one silver Republican
(Cannon).
The next step will be a conference
committee composed of members of
each house, and the bill may be material
ly changed. Conference committees
have on occasion changed bills greatly,
The tariff bill of 1888 came out Of
the conference almost new bill. When
the report is made the regular order is
to vote on it as whole, and it is not
subject to amendment. The house will
not be allowed to discuss it but the
senate may, for discussion there is moi
limited. 1t may reach the president in
ten days or so.
There seems to be no doubt that ir
