NICE ELECTION QUESTION.

Application was made yesterday to Supreme
Court Justice Gaynor. In Brooklyn. on behalf
OF Daniel Noble. the Democratic candidate for
Surrogate in Queens county. for an injunction
preventing the voters OF the new county OF
Nassau from participating in the election OF
the county officers in Queens county. The
contention is that although the new county
will not actually exist until Jan. ! next. It
should still be regarded as a distinct and sep,
Concerned. In spite OF this. tho County Clerk
OF Queens county in making up the ballots for
the three towns included in Nassau put on not
only the names OF all the candidates to be
voted for in the latter, but also those for all

1t was argued in opposition to the motion
that Supreme Court Justice Smith had already

The marked reduction in the re-

connection with the slump in the re-

prevalence of conditions that may well

former. The recent movement in favor
of an imperial policy for the United

standing army. not unlike the armies

ALGER's BOLD BLUFF.
The Secretary OF War Is Trying to
Play One OF His SLY Tricks
ON the People.

From two newspaper sources In
Washington the statement has been
disseminated shat Secretary Alger has
placed his resignation in the hands of
the president. The time when he did
this is stated to have been on the oc-
casion of his calling at the white
house just before setting out on his
camp inspection tour.
It will be recalled that Gen. Miles,
who has made discriminating state
ments against Alger andrepeated them,
returning from Puerto Rico entered
Washington about that time. He came
in one morning and Alger left hastily
that same day. Before leaving, i is
now explained, he visited the presi-
dent and gave him the famous letter
asking for an investigation. Then it
was that he is said to have placed his
resignation in the presidential ear,
for he delivered it orally.
It has taken the matter long time
to leak out. That it has finally
seeped through the thick wall of
secrecy creates the inference that Mr..
Mckinley is contemplating the ac-
ceptance of the resignation of his re-
markable secretary of war and has
taken this means to prepare the public
for the startling denouement. II

publican officials, justified by the ex-
perience of their investigated prede-
cessors in the past, still remaining to
him. He may be whitewashed.
Ayers resignation evidently has
string to it. He will not let go until
the fall elections are over. The party's

BLAME THE DEMOCRATS.
Republican Ingenuity in Risrepre-
sentation Produces n Strange
Charge.

A republican political genius haA
discovered that the democrats only
are to blame for McKinley's and Al
gers Encouragement Of the war and
the sufferings of our soldiers in the
field. The ingenious gentleman who
made this discovery is Hon. John A. T.
Hull, member of congress from Iowa
and said to be chairman of the house
committee on military affairs.
Mr.. Hull says that il resolution
which he offered in the house near the
closing hours Of the late session had
been adopted there would have been a
congressional committee on active
duty all the time to prevent blunders
by army and navy officers and to save
the soldiers and sailors from distress
through the errors of their command
ing officers. A committee of congress
men would have forestalled every or
der issued through mistake and would
have saved the army and navy from
the consequences of every military or
naval error occurring through incom-
petence, oversight, insufficiency of
help and supplies and from all other
causes.
SICSShdA 11utA AACkCS NAdN hCaA
the last hours of the congressional ses-
sion he offered the following: THAT
the house committee on military af-
fairs has power to sit during the adj
journment of congress and make such
investigation as to organization and
equipment of all branches of the
army as it may deem advisable and re-
port to the next session of congress"
This committee is that of which Mr..
Hull is chairman. If he and his COM
mittee had been kept on duty no mis-
management of war affairs would have
occurred! But the democrats in the
house objected to the consideration
of the resolution and IL was too late in
the session to pass a measure against
objections from any source. Hence
the democrats are responsible for the
maladministration of the war de-
partment.
The country knows from familiar
history the egregious absurdity of
clothing a congressional committee
with power to exercise supervision
ever war movements. It was illus
trated in the evil results of the action
of congressional war committees DUR
ing the civil war. They embarrassed
the administration of Abraham Lin
coin and the measures of Grant in the
field. IF the democratic members of
the house defeated plan to send a
republican congressional comm4ttee
to the camps and the field for the over
sight of army movements they rem
dered to the country a service of the
highest value.-Chicago Chronicle.

The Indian aIints.

The New York Financial Chronicle
prints a letter from its Manchester
(England) correspondent on the cur
rency situation in India. He says,
among other things:
sit was at first supposed that the
opening of the minis to the coinage OF
silver was excluded from the purview
of the committee, but so great has
been the dissatisfaction with this linn
itation that Lord George Hamilton has
expressly announced that the commit
tee is quite at liberty to include the
resumption of silver coinage within
the scope of its inquiry" Further
more, this correspondent declares that
leading and influential men in Lon
don, in Glasgow and other centers,
monometallists and bimetallists, who
have long been in serious conflict with
each other on the monetary question,
are now working in most cordial CO.
operation to defeat the attempt to es-
tablish gold standard in india" It
would appear from this that England
is awal1ing, even if slowly, to the err
ror of it's Indian currency policy and
that the report of few weeks ago
that the Indian minis were to be re-
opened has a very good basis in fact.

GOLD DEMOCRATS.
Can They Fraternize with Party
That Has Broken Every
Pledgee

Gold democrats should examine with
care the record of the republican adj
ministration before they follow By
NUNS adviceto give their votes to the g..
o. D. Can gold democrats afford to fra
ternize with party which has passed
the most corrupt and excessive and in
famous tariff law ever enacted? Can
gold democrats afford to vote for the
candidates of party which fosters and
protects trusts? And what faith can
the gold democrats place in party
which has broken every pledge made to
them in 1896, and which has ignored the
gold democrats from start to finish?
Holding democratic doctrines in their
hearts and differing from the majority
of the party only on the currency ques-
ton, gold democrats cannot afford to
join hands with those who are fighting
their most cherished beliefs. AS for
Bynum, he was gold democrat for
revenue only, and when he ceased to
make money out of that kind of de-
mocraey he ceased to be democrat.
Under the circumstances, it is quite
evident that the gold democrats will
find themselves more at home in their
old democratic fold than in that of the
republicans, and the indications are
that the gold democratic party will
pass out of existence before the cam
paign of 1900 begins.-Chicago Demo-
crat and Dispatch.

Smells That Hurt.

Some smells are dangerous. A
single sniff of highly concentrated
prussic acid will kill man as quickly
as shot through the heart. The odor
of bad egg is due to the presence of
sulphuretted hydrogen, and the OBJ
jectionable perfumes of sewer and
bone factories are attributable chiefly
to the same gas. Chemical labora-
tories are famous for bad smells. Ber-
zelius. who discovered the element
called ''selenium," once tried the ex-
pertinent of permitting a bubble of
pure hydrogen selenide gas to enter
his nostril. For days afterward he was
not able to smell strong ammonia, the
olfaetory nerves being temporarily
paralyzed. Selenium gas has Che odor
of pntrid horseradish. Tellurium is
even worse. There is story of a
physician whose patient. a lady, re-
fused to take an absolutely necessary
rest because she was so fond of
being always on the go in society.
He gave her a pill containing a small
quantity of tellurium, and her breath
was affected by it to such an extent
that she was not able to appear in pub
what the trouble was. The volatized
essential oil of roses is supposed to
cause rose cold" This peculiar COM
plant is so far nervous in it's charac-
ter that paper roses impregnated with
the oil sometimes excite the trouble.

lust LIKE MAMMA.
This Little Girl Could Entertain Call
ers Successfully Even when There
Were No Callers There.

Susan is just little bit of a tot,
seven maybe, though she doesn't look
! to be more than five. She lives in big
boarding house up on High street.
Susan hasn't many friends, and as her
mother is away almost every day at
tending to her social duties the child
has been forced to depend upon her
self for the greater share of her amuse-
Eent.
She is a clever child; nothing of
prodigy, but just smart. You know the
kind. She has passed her time this
summer dressing and undressing her
one doll and wheeling it to the corner
and back in a tiny perambulator.
Though she has no playmates, she is as
happy as a lark all day long, and no
one in the house has ever heard her
cry.
Susan IS an astonishing mimic. She
mimicked her grandmother until the
latter caught sight of the performance
one day and told her never to do it
again. Then she turned to the rag man
and the garbage man with an imitation
of street piano grinder thrown in
now and then for good measure.

given entertainments of acting for the
benefit of her doll that have been as
tonishingly accurate and artistic with
al, her best performance was offered
the other afternoon when, all alone in
/ her little rocking chair on the front
porch, she played at receiving calls"
She rocked quietly for awhile, then
rose from the chair and bowed to the
imaginary person who was ascending
the porch steps. Then she talked. It
was only one side of a conversation, of
course, but so startlingly realistic was
the acting that it seemed as though
the child must have been talking to
some one.
She extended her hand and shook the
imaginary one offered her. Then she
said: Wont you sit down." and
smiled sweetly. Her side of that polite
conversation was as follows: Hasn't
it been warm for the past three days?
Do you think so? Mercy. 1 hope not.
You don't tell me. How long ago was
that? Wasn't it very unusual? Well, 1
should think so. He's doing nicely,
thank you. Yes, 1 think it is perfectly
beautiful. How well the skirt hangs.
Dlu MISS Jones MAKE 1t 1OE you We
had her make my clothes for over a
year. Yes, she is so original. You've
been well, 1 hope. Isn't that nice? How
long will you be gone? o, indeed.
Won't that be lovely? o, don't leave so
soon, you have hardly sat down. Must
you go? I'm SO sorry. Here's your
parasol. Now you will run in again,
won't you? Yes, I will, thanks. Bring
Jamie the next time you come, won't
you? Good-by. Yes, isn't it? Good-by.
Is that so? Good-by. You don't tell
me. Good-by. Now be sure and come
again. Good-by.'
And when the imaginary caller had
gone down the steps Susan dropped
into her little rocking chair and ex-
claimed with a sigh: 20, I'd rather do
a weeks washing than talk to that
woman ten minutes. Detroit Free

machine was in the nature of an ex-

other sales would be made by Parnen-
tiers, but its failure meant a consider

some anxiety that the members of the
firm saw Mr.. Smith leave Bellevue the
day of the sale, the head clerk having
been called to distant city by the
dangerous illness of his mother
Two days later the elder Parmenter
entered the implement department
and began an earnest conversation
with Simpson, one of the under clerks.
Anson's. work required his presence
near them, and a few words of the mer-
chants caught his attention.
81 am sure it's because they misun-
derstand it, and not the fault of the
machine" the merchant was saying.
''Mr. Smith had the greatest CONT
dence that it was all right, and think
his judgment is correct. So you do
not understand it?"
''No, sir, 1 had nothing whatever to
do with the machine while it was
here"
"Of course! But it means a heavy
loss if somebody can't be found to see

son.
For a moment Mr.. Parmenter looked
at the speaker in establishment. Then
the praise expressed for his ability by
Mr.. Smith came into the merchants
mind, and a kindly smile played upon
his face.
"You may try" he said at length,
"and remember, my boy, that much de-
ponds on you. I will give you a note
to the purchaser"

horse to wayside post, and climbed

the fellow resumed his a1m1ess expert

''What is the trouble here, kelly?"
The engineer again stopped work
as the farmer appeared.
ION, this boy wants to show me how
to do this" he growled. Says he was
sent by Parmenters."
81 have a note for the owner" said
Arson, offering it to the newcomer,
who accepted it. After reading the
contents, he turned to Kelly.
You may go back to your engine"
he said, and the man moved sullenly
away.
There is absolutely nothing the
matter with the machine, SIR" assured
Arson. 1T is simply case of misad-
justment, caused by the men not I'M
derstanding the mechanical principles
upon which it is founded"
In Is minutes Arson announced that
his work was completed, and the sig
nal to start was given. The black
smoke rolled from the slack of the en-
CINE, the thresher started slowly into
motion, and a stream Of grain flowed
into the wagon box waiting TO receive
it, while the assembled farm hands
gave vent to a hearty cheer as they
went to their several tasks.
The thresher proved an unqualified
success, and many were sold. Par
menter Bros. were just enough to
place all this to the credit of their
young clerk, since first impressions
count for so much, and the delay nee
