CIGARS FOR THE "BOYS."
A Stranger Working the State Off,
GERS for Cigar Money.

A man who claims to live few miles
south of Topeka, and who says he is a
worker in the cause of Populism and
reform called yesterday at the state SUI
perintendent's Office. Both Superin-
tendent Stryker and Prof. Amis are out
Of the city, and the man addressed him
self to Delbert Stryker who is bond
clerk in the Office. When he learned
that Professor Stryker was not in the
Office, he told Delbert that he was a
friend of Professor Stryker and had
come in to tell him that they were going
to hold a POpulist meeting about seven
miles south of town in a day or two,
and he thought it would be good idea
to distribute some cigars among "the
boys" with the compliments of the state
officers.
1T will take two dollars to buy the
box of cigars he said. IF you will
put UP one dollar I will pay the other
The proposition sounded fair enough
but Delbert concluded to investigate be-
fore he paid over the money. He went
to the state treaSurer's Office and there
aScertained that the same man had told
Assistant Treasurer Williams q similar
tale a few days ago, and Mr.. Williams
had paid him $1.40 with which to buy
cigars.
Mr.. Williams said: ST used to get
worked that way in the county cam
paigns down in Miami county. and
don't believe it pays. In one campaign
people bought cigars and had them
charged to my account, and when the
election was over I had S25 cigar bills
to pay for cigars I had never ordered. -

AMERICANA AT AUCTION.
Howard Edwards Collection Inc1ud-
ing the "Aitkin Bible.'

Philadelphia, Oct. PA sale Of rare
books started at 1112 Walnut street on
Wednesday, when Howard Edwards, a
collector of Americana, offered at auc-
ton a collection numbering over 2,cOO
volumes. The collection of Bibles in
cludes the ''Aitkin Bible" the first Eng
lish Bible printed in America. This,
the title page says, was printed and
sold by r. Aitkin, at POpe'S Head, three
doors above the coffee house, in Market
street MDCCLXXXIL" In cOnse-
quence of the embargo laid upon Amer
lean commerce during the revolutionary
war the Bible became an exceedingly
scarce book Mr.. AitI1in, a patriotic
printer, undertook to supply at his
demand for the work by publishing the
Bible" A writer in the Freeman's
Journal of November &c, 1882, comment
ing on the publication of this work
wrote: THE very paper that has re-
ceived the impression of these sacred
books was manufactured in PennsyI-
vania The whole work is, therefore,
purely American, and has risen, like the
tabled Phoenix, from the ashes OF that
nile in which our enemies supposed they
had consumed the liberties of Amer
lea"
There is also a collection Of the three
Saur Bibles and a specimen of the hrst
American Douay Bible. The first Amer
lean edition of Shakespeare is included
in the list, as well as many QUAINT
volumes bearing upon the early history
of this country.

OPERA BEGINS EARLY.
Bayreuth System Will Be Put in Use
in New York to Permit Perform

New York, Oct. 22.-New Workers are
promised a novel experience this season
that Of the Bayreuth fashion of going
to the opera, hgurativeIy speaking, in
the afternoon. The Wagnerites have
cried out so Justify for the whole trilogy
that it has finally been arranged to give
it in its entirety. To accomplish this
it will be necessary to begin the per-
Torrance at $50 in the evening.
This upheaval of established customs
will mean a vast amount of controversy
as to the proper dinner hour and the
CONNIE il faut costume. AS there is
only one series of performances ar
ranged so far three dinners will, doubt
less, be sacrificed without hesitation in
such a case.
The probabilities are that no matter
how hurried theater goers are the facil-
tiles for dining here will be much better
than in Bayreuth. Those who have
passed through that agony may well
dread a repetition Of it in New York in
their anxiety to hear the whole trilogy.

London Dramatists on Rostand's Mis-
take Touching Copyright.

London, Oct. 22.-Nr. Days defense to
M Coquelin's attack on his production of
'Cyrano de Bergerac' in New York has
created much interest among dramatists
and theatrical people in London. The cor

Der of leading playwrights in London to
ascertain their views on the matter. Those
seen were pleased that the matter had
been taken up, though they did not care
to have their names mentioned in connec-
ton with anything they might say.
The opinion vas generally expressed
that Mr.. ROstand made a mistake in not
cOpyrighting the play in America. That
was the crux of the whole business, form

defense. Still there was a general SYM

FINDS THE CABINET

San Juan, Porto Rico, Oct. 22.-Con-
siderable political excitement prevails
here, owing to the fact that Monsuzo
Rivera, president of the recent autono-
list council of secretaries, Senior Blanco,
secretary Of the treasury; Senior Lopez,
secretary of justice and Senior Carbon
mel, secretary of the interior, all elected
last March on the autonomist platform,
are continued by Major General Brooke
in their respective offices. Their pOlit-
ical opponents suggest public demon
strations against such continuance.
Investigation by the American au-
thorities, however. has led to the con-
clusion that they are all men of excel
lent standing and that their retention
in office will be the best way to pre-
serve tranquility in the dnsular admin
istratiOn until such time, as the United
States congress can take action regard
ing Porto Rico. 1t is distinctly under
stood that this cabinet will act under
the control OF the American military
governor.
All government institutions, local and
general, will be continued, partisan poll
ties being eliminated.
Six hundred Spanish soldiers and off,

soon be inaugurated. The oath of al
legiance to the United States has been
taken by five Judges of the superior
court of Porto Rico, who later will adj
minister the same oath to their subord-
mates. Spanish judges who do not de-
sire to foreswear their allegiance to

which will soon be transmitted to the
secretary Of the treasury. 1t is i'm
possible to say just what Mr.. Scott's re-

but the general impression is that he
will suggest the repeal Of two or more
of the most important items in the war
tax-the repeal Of the additional tax on
tobacco and the tax on mortgages and

The commissioner is averse to the re-
peal of the law in it's entirety, believing
that 1t should remain on the statute
books until the war debt is paid.
