HEARTLEsS AMUSEMENT.

Mayor Taggart and his adroit supporters
passionate people who do not approve of
their conduct i'll regard to a limited num-
Der of persons known as the silver push"
Nearly everybody enjoys harmless fun, but
when fun has for its victims those who
have been deprived of those qualities which
make up common sense it becomes a
species of cruelty in which no right minded
person will indulge. Those who have been
denied the capacity to reason and observe
should receive the considerate compassion
of those who are endowed with many bril-
liant qualities, including great cuteness.
Week after week the friends of Mayor
Taggart have been holding up to public
derision those persons whose mania is a
devotion to the coming of so cents worth
of the silver bullion of a mining syndicate
into dollars at the governments expense
and the peoples ruin. On one occasion
the mayors funny friends captured the
meeting of the push and took possession
of its hall. The leaders of the push"
called the police, but the few blue coats
who struggled in joined the mayors funny
men, while the push adjourned to a
small room to pass resolutions. Later on
one of his friends called the primaries,
which the push" had been, spending
months in perfecting an organization to
capture. The push could not have car

friends, in the spirit of mischief. put few

make a spectacle of themselves by sitting
in their seats and shouting silver" while
the mayors man was elected chairman
of the Democratic city committee by ac-
clamation.
This cruel sport should have stopped
there, but the mayors funny men seem not
to have any idea of the bounds of pro-
priety even in the treatment of the dupes
of the push so they have evidently put
up few of these persons to formulate a

THE NEW NAPOLEON LETTERS.

1t was a French writer who said mo
man is a hero to his valet" This was a
witty and sententious way of stating the
nearly universal truth that all great men
have defects or Weaknesses of character
faults, follies or vices, which those who adj
mire them at distance do not see, but
which are plainly visible to their servants.
AS a general rule historians and biogra-
pliers do not take account If these defects
of character, preferring to present their
heroes as the public saw them. The result
is that history and biography are often
very misleading for the lack of the kind of
information that could be furnished by
Wallets and servants.
The suppressed letters of the first En-
peror Napoleon. just published, reveal a
phase of his character which was not Wis
ible to his courtiers and the world at large
but of which those very close to him doubt
less saw great deal more than they liked
They show him to have been imperious
to a degree, exacting, unjust, undetermined
suspicious INSCRIPTIONS and stopping at
nothing to accomplish his ends. A man
who could order a plain fisherman. merely
suspected of wrongdoing, to have his
thumbs squeezed in a musket lock till he
confessed is an intolerabie tyrant. His
contemptuous and insulting illusions to
Madame De Stael show that he was in
capable of appreciating the character and
genius of that gifted woman, whose unpar-
donable fault to him was that she would
not join the circle of his courtiers and fiat
terers. In large sense Napoleon was a
great man, but these letters show that he
also had great faults. Nevertheless one
can admire the imperiousness of an upstart
political adventurer who. when the Pope
communicated him, wrote: Il spare the
Pope no longer. He is a raving mailman
and must be locked up cad his roasting
of his brother Jerome is silaply delicious.

THE AGENTS AT A BANQUET.
Industrial Life Insurance Companies
Denounced by the President.

The beautiful new dining room of the
Hotel English was thrown open last night
for the entertainment of the delegates to
the convention of the American Agents
Association, it being the occasion of the
first annual banquet of this organization
Preceding the toasts William Hester, of
this city, took the floor and in a few we'll
turned words presented a gold-headed cane
to Henry Friedman, who was chairman of
the committee of the local lodge which
entertained the visitors. Mr.. Friedman re-
sponded and then John Blue, secretary
of the local lodge, acting as POSTMASTER
called upon c. II, Sidener, of Louisville
International president of the association
Mr.. Sidener gave historical sketch of the
inception ana growth of the organization
He said that he was arrested in st. Marys,
o., for not having a license. His trim took
the matter up, tested the legality OF the
license law in the Supreme Court, won the
case and obtained judgment of $500 from
the city of st. Mary s. This caused a few
agents to get together and orga lize for
mutual protection That was in 1888 The
first local lodge was in Piqua and was rec
ognized by the Central Labor Union of
that city. When the association was recoS-
nized by the American Federation Of
Labor it had seven local lodges. Now it
has thirty-nine and a membership of near
ly five thousand. Mr.. Sidener said that
the scope of the objects OF the order had
been enlarged. 1t was now as much an OBJ
ject to protect honest agents and honest
nrmS from raScally agents ana rdScduy
firms as TO protect agents from unjust
laws. 1t was also an object Of the order to-
protect the public from dishonest agents
and firms. Mr.. Sdener made the state
ment that dishonest firms made dishonest
agents and ruined the lives of many young
men. He said that it would be almost i'm
possible for a young man TO work six
months for the general run of industrial
life insurance companies and not become
a criminal or rascal. He said this was
due to the dishonest methods employed by
the company in dealing with it's agents.

At the business sessions yesterday the
question of holding conventions annually

of silver senators are making themselves
too conspicuous in their noisy protests
against trusts. All that most trusts ask is
TO be let alone, but the silver trust, which
these senators urge. demands that every
fifty cents worth of silver bullion which it
can mine shall be coined into a dollar at
the expense of the government. The Sugar
Trust only wants the boon of legislation
which will enable it to get one-eighth of a
cent a pound on refined sugar. The silver
trust demands that the government shall
take its wealth, double its value as legal
tender money and turn it back to it's mem
bers. And yet the senators who demand
this have spent days in denouncing trusts.

BOON TO THE DRUGGISTS.
Hot Weather BOoms the Profitable
Soda Water Trade.

The present hot spell is one that brings
joy to the heart of the druggist who turns
away from his mortar and pestle for the
time being to cater to his soda water trade.
incidentally the weather gladdens the
heart of the ice cream maker. for no drug
gist could do a successful soda water bust
ness without a hunk of ice cream thrown
in the soda water glass. Downtown drug
gists yesterday used all the way from eight
to fifty gallons of ice cream for their soda
water trade. A careful druggist will make
a gallon of ice cream run the gauntlet of
forty glasses of soda water. One druggist
on a prominent downtown corner used for
~ gallons of ice cream one Saturday night
recently. This meant about 100 glasses
of soda water. His high-water mark was
seventy-two gallons the day of the East

The Womans Christian Temperance
Union of ST. Louis has been brought to a
realizing sense of the danger of dealing in
or dealing out unknown compounds. For
some time past the members of the union
have been selling from street fountains
with a penny-in-the-slot attachment, what
they called "a delicious, purely medicinal,
healthful, nonalcoholc beverage, guaran-
teed harmless to the smallest child" The
other name was cherry phosphate. Now
comes a leading chemist of the city, who
has analysed it, and says:
This phosphate contains syrup of wild

1t should have required no argument to
insure such a change in the tariff laws as
will limit the value of personal effects
which the European tourist shall bring
home free of duty to 500; nevertheless, it
has taken years of work by the Merchant
Tailors' National Exchange to effect it.
The restriction is in the new tariff bill by
the action of both branches of Congress.
The extent of this fraud upon the revenue
and injustice to American tailors appears
in the statement of the surveyor of the port
of New York to the effect that $4,000 600

J. A. COOPER DISAPPEARS.
Had Considerable sum with Him at
the Nashville Exposition.

The Louisville papers Of yesterday morn
ing stated that the police of that city have
received request to look for an Indian
apolis man who is missing from home. One
article says:
"A letter was received at police head
quarters late yesterday afternoon from
Mrs. j. A. Cooper, of No 1902 East Wash
ngton street, Indianapolis stating that her
husband had mysterously disappeared. He
was last seen in Louisville, and is thought
to have met with foul play. Mr.. Cooper
left Indianapolis June p for Nashville to
attend the exposition. He had a large
amount of money, and told his wife that
he expected to remain in Louisville several
days Immediately after his arrival here
he telegraphed her that he was having an
enjoyable time and would write in a day
or two. He to have returned home

and his wife feels positive that something
dire has befallen him. Captain Hanger de-
tailed several men to search for him, but
nothing could be learned as to his where

business man of Indianapolis. The fact
that he had considerable money makes the
theory of foul play more plausible"
The police here know nothing of the re-
ported disappearance.
