POLITICAL GOSSIP.

senator Fairbanks OF Indiana arrived
here yesterday morning from New York
on his way back home. He called on q
number OF the leading Government Of
ficials, and Incidentally put i'll a few
licks for constituents who are desirous
OF securing Government positions. AS the
Senator saw a number Of the influential
Republican politicians while in the metrop,
oils he vas asked what the outlook wasi
Greater New York for his party. His re-
ply Was that the Republicans were very
hopeful, and with union Of all the ele-
ments opposed to Tammany and the Brook
lyn Democracy there was a fair prospect
of success, but at the same time it must
be admitted that il there is anything like
unaniInity among the Democrats they Will
VIII put up a very lively battle. The
prominent Republican managers, however.
are hopeful that large percentage of the
Democrats viii support the Republican
ticket on account OF the currency ques-
tion and the rels tions this contest bears
to national politics. The Republicans have
not carried New York city but once in a
great many years. and it is Well for tho
Leaders To remember that fact, the Sena-
tor thinks.
Mr.. Fairbanks said he Was positive Sena.
tor HdnLa would control the Ohio iegls-
lature and be returned to the Senate.
Regarding the contest In that State he
further said: From all / can gather the
'mlddle-of,the-road' Populists are going 20
maintain their organization, not only there,
but in most of the States. They seem TO
be opposed to being swallowed by the
dtsaSreeing wings OF the free silver Dem

ENGLISH BATHING.
Sexes Do Not Enter the Water To-
gether-Very Prudish Ideas.

They don't bathe at the seaside re-
sorts here in England as they do at
those in the United States, says the
London correspondent to the Washing
ton Post. Men and women do not go
into the water together. The sex line
is stringently drawn. Men and women
dress either in tents or in little huts
called machines, and when they are
ready to get into the briny they do 50
with etiquettish aloofness. The au-
thorities at Broadstairs, Margate,
Ramsgate and at all the popular re-
sorts are most prudishly proper. They
mentally measure the length of bath
ing costumes and the Typographical
propinquity of bathers. They seem to
debate at the breakfast table over
their ham and eggs and tea, how much
liberty should be allowed trippers and
habitues who indulge in the exhllarat-
ing pastime of a swim. The conse-
ouence has been that the papers have
been taking up the interseX bathing
and seaside natatory costume question
during the present silly season, and
the sempiternal theme is once more
thoroughly thraShed out as though II
were Of national and international i'm
mort. Funny letters are daily written
to the public prints by callow bache-
lors, cautious patres famlllae ana
soueamish maids, and the result IS dl-
versely and divertingly idiot1c enough

GAVE HER A DIAMOND RING.
And Now Young Stoughton Sues
Miss BOtsford for the Treasure.

PONTIAC, Mich, Oct 3.-Elmer c.
Stoughton has sued Miss Edna Bots
ford for diamond ring, which he gave
her some time ago. Around this fact
hangs a most remarkable story.
Stoughton was twenty-one years old
and the son of Pennington farmer.
Three years ago a relative of his died
and left him $685. 900, which he at once
began to spend in a most extravagant
manner. Stoughton did not know city
ways and so he expended his money
in giving diamond rings and bicycles
to girls whom he met. Of course, the
girls took the rings and the bicycles.
Among the girls of the rings was Miss
Botsford.
Then somebody told the newly-rich
young man that he should start out
with a theatrical company He did.
and the play was 'Lannigan's Ball"
OF course, Stoughton failed, and now
he is back in the town of Pontiac in
a condition his friends call busted"
Miss Botsford fatty denied that there
was any engagement between them.
She is a very pretty school teacher,
nineteen years old, and has no end of
good sense. The outcome of the law
suit will be most interesting.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-And still
the records come. Eighteen hun
dred and ninety-seven in base ball
must be considered the season of record
breaking. The latest and most remark
able feat of all is accomplished by a
new recruit in the National league
ranks. young Gettman, of the Wash
irgton club. Two months ago his name
was not known outside of very small
territory in which he played for q
minor league club. His work there at
tracted the attention of the Washing
ton management, and his release was
purchased. His success was instan-
taneous. He was less than a month
among the major stars when he made
the phenomenal record of ten success
sive base hits in ten successive times at
bat. This was accomplished in two
games. In the first he faced the pitch
er four times, making two singles, q
double and home run. Next DAY he
went to the plate six times, and Sc
cured four singles, a triple and a home
run.
President Young is quoted as speak

doubt that it is true, Mr.. Young's an

records cover twenty-five seasons,

batting achievements of from 120 to

MISMATED FEET.
Single Shoes For Them and For
One-Legged People.

Single Shoes For Them and For
One-Legged People.
The one-legged man buys his shoes
precisely like the tWo-legged man, says
the New York Sun. At the big stores
they break a pair to sell the single
shoe that the one-legged man requires
without the slightest hesitation; and he
can get any kind of shoe he wants. The
single shoe remaining is sent back to
the factory to be mated up, and this
is done with perfect accuracy. Every
pair of shoes is numbered and it could
easily, if it were desired, be traced back
to the stock from which it is made.
There is no guesSWork about it. The
shoe required to mate the shoe remain
ing may not be made on the idential
last upon which the original shoe was
made, but it is made upon last of
mathematically the same proportions,
and the pair thus restored is as perfect
ly mated as the original pair.
The one-legged man who buys in this
way a single shoe pays slightly more
than half the price of a pair. One
legged men are in the very largest shoe
stores among the regular customers;
and there they are not so unusual as
to be remarkable.
One-legged men, however, are not the
only men who buy single shoes. There
are tWO-leSged men VINO sometimes
buy only one shoe. For example, q
man with the gout He can, if he
wishes, and he sometimes does, buy a
single shoe. The remaining shoe is
mated up in just the same manner as
the remaining shoe from the pair brok-
en- for the one-legged man.
There are two-legged men who wear
shoes of different sizes, their feet not
being mates This may be due to ma
ture, or it may be that an accident
has befallen one foot. For such a
customer two pairs of shoes are broken
and he takes one of each.

HANL0N IN DEMAND.
Pittsburgers Offer $4,000 Per Year
for His Services.

NEW YORK, Oct, 3.-The Journal tomorrow
will publish the following: Edward Hanlon,
the successful manager of the Baltimores, was
recently the recipient of the most astonish-
ing offer in the history of professional base
ball. The owners of the Pittsburg club, which
has had poor success in the pennant fight
for some years past, desired to secure the
services of the great Baltimore manager.
They invited him to a conference and for
mally offered him a contract calling for $12,-
600 year and a quarter interest in the club.
In fact, Mr.. H. R. Won del, Horst the Prin-
cipal owner of the Baltimore club, said II
Hanlon left the club he Von der HorsD would
immediately sell out his interest. Failing to
secure Hanlon, the Pittsburgers engaged w.
H. Watkins, of Indianapolis, who was manager
of the champion Detroits when Han1on was
center fielder and captain.
The owners of the Philadelphia club also
made an effort to engage Hanion, but without
success Hanlon, who was at Hoboken today,
said that, SO far as he knew, the Orioles
WOULD start the season of 1898 the same as at
present He was disappointed at his failure
to win four successive pennants, but said the
finish was so close it was no disgrace to come
second. He felt that but for the unparalleled
list of injured payers in the early part OF
the season he would have had a safe lead at
the chose. He paid a tribute to the great
ability of 'Kid'' Nichols, the Boston pitcher.

Millionaire Owners of JeI<yI Island
Object to Georgia's Latest Plan.

BRUNSWICK, Ca, Oct. 2.-Tele-
grams continue to pour in from the
millionaire owners of Jekyl islands, one
of whom is NJ K. Fairbank, of Chicago,
inquiring If it is true that Sapelo ISL
and, almost adjoining, is to be made
a penal colony by the state Of Georgia.
Developments today are that not only
Sapelo, but Little Cumberland island,
which shields Jekyl, will be purchased
for the same purposes.
The Jekyl clubs membership is quot
ed at $450000, and the members have
spent immense spms in cottages and
landscape work. As a consequence they
do not relish the idea of having as
their nearest neighbors the 1000 con-
victs of the state.
A New York man telegraphed today
for the lowest cash price that would
be taken for Little Cumberland, which
would indicate that the club might save
its property by buying the other ISL
andS.
