from Dublin TO Holyhead.
A Sunday paper publishes, over the sig

Of Edward Langtry. The writer says:

eyes on my better half as he was wont

and madame bowed, but ii was not the
greeting of a husband and wife. Langtry
never saw his wife on the stage The last
time met Langtry was When he came to

Edward Langtry was borr in Ireland,
and at one time was considered wealthy
He was of a quiet disposition, and took his
greatest pleasure in his books and country
surroundings. Twenty-Five years ago he
married the beautiful Emile LIE Breton,
man in the island of Jersey. Langtry
thought his happiness was complete. But
within few years when his wife was in
troduced into society, he found himself un-
done. Soon she was the acknowledged fa-
vorite of the Prince of Wales. That was
her hour of triumph and the first blow to
her husband Since then she has inflicted
one after another. From the Prince of
Wales she turned to Frederick Gebhard
who at one time was ready to marry her.
After Gebhard came Sir Robert Peel and
then Squire Abingdon.

tonight addressed a large Republican mass
meeting in Suizer's Harlem River Park. He
took occasion to answer Mayor Strong's re-
marks Of few nights ago, when the mayor
criticized Senator Foraker, of Ohio, and
Senator Thurston. The Nebraskan declared
that Mayor Strong was wrong in his criu-
cism, and that he is fully justified in COM
ing here to help in the election of General
Tracy, since his election will be victory
for good government and sound money,
both of Importance beyond confines of New
York. He said General Tracy's defeat
would mean that the Republicans would
probably never again elect another mayor
of New York.

MORGAN FOR ANNEXATION.
The Senator's Views Strengthened by
His Visit to Hawaii.

HONOLULU, Oct, T., via San Francisco,
Oct Ex-senator Morgan will leave for San
Francisco next Tuesday, accompanied by
his daughters. They will go direct to Ala
bama and after a brief rest the senator will
leave for Washington. hoping to arrive
there about the middle of November He
states that he has been strongly convinced
in his own mind that the annexation Of the
islands is the right thing. He is happy that
his visit to Honolulu has given him such a
fund of information that he can debate with
intelligence on the question when it comes
up in the Senate this fall. He says that his
previous information was CLEANED from ISL
anders whom he had CHANGED to meet and
from what books he could get hold of. Now
he has been on the ground and ascertained
for himself the condition of things, which
will have important bearing on the debate
that is to ensue. While he was considered
an authority on Hawaiian matters before
by his colleagues, iIis right to that posi-
tlon will be fully recognized by all during
In speaking about the important question
OF citizenship in case of annexation, he
stated that all citizens of Hawaii will lie
made citizens of the United States. Those
people, continued the senator, who hold
letters of denizatiOn will become invested
with American citizenship. When annexa-
tiOn takes place, in all prbability, however
Congress will take some measure to give
them the full privileges. Yes, the Portu-
guese, as we'll as other foreigners. who are
citizens of Hawaii at the time the islands
are taken in, will become citizens of the
United States'

President Dole will take place on next Mon

HEWITT IS FOR Low.
Gotham's Ex-MayOr and Ex-Tam-
mnnxite Gives His Views.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Abram S. Hewitt,
ex-mayor and ex-congressman, who re-
turned to-day from stay abroad, was not
permitted to sci foot ashore until he had
expressed himself regarding the political
situation in this city. When told that 9.
N. Bliss, secretary of the interior, is to be
prominent at Tracy meeting Monday
evening, Mr.. Hewitt said: ''Mr. Bliss is
most admirable man and most admirable
citizen, but when it comes to politics he is
always a partisan. In 1886 he specially
urged me to run for the mayoralty, and
then two days later he helped to nominate
Joel 3. Erhardt. When the final test comes
he always stands by his party associates.
1.-THE situation is simply that machine
politicians are standing by each other.
They always look with displeasure on any
movement for the good of the people, un-
less it comes from the throat OF boss.
What good citizens want is simply to get
good government from the new municipal
ity. National politics have absoltely moth
ing to do with that issue. National poll
ticians seem to think otherwise, simply be-
cause, when &. is SHOWN that an independ-
ent movement like that of the Citizens
Union can win, the power of the machine
to gain wealth and honor for the men who
control it will be in serious danger.
II observed while was in London that
Mr. George says that in 1886 / defrauded
him out of the mayoralty. All that can
say about that is that If i was able to count
out 10000 votes / must have been pretty
good politician. 1t seems to have taken
Mr.. George eleven years to discover it. OF
course the thing is absurd
Mr. Hewitt smiled when he learned that
Mr. Dayton had accepted the Georgeite
nomination for controller with the avowed
intention of assailing Croker rule over
Tammany Perhaps it would hardly be-
come me to say anything against Tam
many" Mr.. Hewitt said. '"They elected
me to every office they nominated me for.
But everybody knows what Tammany
Wants-they simply want TO get the offices
back. There is but one issue in this cam
paign 1t is, Shall the government of the
greater city be run for the people for
the politicians? Democratic Institutions
are now on trial in the territory OF Greater
New York"
Referring to Mr.. Lows candidacy, Mr..
Hewitt said: why should he retire? Mo-
body disputes his eminent fitness for the
place. Shall he retire simply on the de-
mand of a boss. so that some one shall be
put up who will be satisfactory TO that
boss? By no means. 1t is now his clear
duty to lead the fight of decent men against
the bosses and against George and his par

RiOtOus Acts That Would Not BE Toll
Grated in the United States.

Copyright, 1897, by the Associated Press)
LONDON, Oct 16-The English newspa-
pers which are fond of preaching unctuous
sermons on the subject of the "lawlessness
of Americans" have food for reflection in
two events in London and it's suburbs this
week. The Honor Oak Golf Club possessed
One Tree Hill for three years. Finding the
property was being wantonly destroyed or
stolen. the club caused the ground to be
fenced In, thus shutting out the general
public to the great delight of the neighbor-
ing residents whose life had been made
hideous because of the congregating there
of drunken, doghghting roughs from the
slums of Deptford. Thereupon it was
claimed that the public's rights were being
encroached on, and the agitation against
the golfers assiduously fomented, culmin-
ated on Sunday last, when mob Of about
one thousand persons, armed with clubs and
stones, tore down the fence and demolished
everything in sight. They destroyed the
golfing links, and, reinforced by over two
thousand other rioters, the mob advanced
on the clubhouse, driving the golfers with
in. Bricks and logs flew until the club
house was wrecked. When the rioters were
unable to dislodge the determined members
of the club, some of the mob leaders brought
bundles of straw, with the intention of set
ting fire to the premises, and they
were only prevented from Carrying out
their purpose by the timely arrival of po-
lice reinforcements, the few policemen pre-
viously on the scene having been as badly
maltreated as the golf players: One of the
latter fell into the hands of a dozen roughs
who pounded him with sticks until the un-
fortunate player was in a serious condition.
A renewal of the disturbance is expected
tomorrow.
A somewhat similar right-of-way raid
was Witnessed at Hallingdon on Tuesday
when the inhabitants of that place opened
a road through Lord Hillingdon's game
preserves The right Of way through these
preserves had been barred for over thirty
years and the ground is overgrown with
fine timber, which the crowds of villagers
felled for distance of half a mile also re-
moving the gates, iron fences, etc, which
were in their way

the modification of local quarantine regula-

having the meeting called held that there
was no longer any necessity of squandering

The Decay of Animal Matter.

A great many proofs, now more or
less familiar to most people, show quite
clearly that the decay of animal or
vegetable matter is not a simple chem
zeal change, inevitable in the nature of
things, but a violent interference with
the natural course on the part of hos
tile organisms. The bacteria which pro-
plants, which grow, like mushrooms or
moldS, upon organic matter, and which
reproduce their like with incredible
rapidity. Tyndall showed long ago that
the spores of these plants exist in myr-
lads in the air, floating everywhere
around US; that they occupy all cram
MES and empty places on the surface of
the earth, and that they swarm in their
millions in all ponds and puddles An
easy way of proving that these spores
alone, and the plant colonies which
spring from them, are the cause of pu-
trefaction, may be obtained by boiling
beef tea in test tube, so as to kill the
bacteria, and then, While the LIQUID is
still steaming, closing up the mouth of
the tube with a plug or cotton wool
which admits the air but strains out
the germs of the putrefactive organ
isms. Under these conditions. the beef
tea will keep good for years; but if you
remove the plug it will begin at once
to putrefy.-Grant Allen, in Longman's
Magazine.
