that the action of the committee and the

nothing came of that, either. So the post

the information that there was no such

Havana is laughing at the Philadelphia

GRANDFATHER CUhE.
Becoming Popular as "a Punishment

In New Hampshire.
Hanover, n. H., June 20.-Frank Tatter
temporary sheriff of the adjoining town OF
Haverhili. who was treated there to a coat
of tar and feathers. has fed to Vermont
and brought suit against his assailants for
$40, 600 damages. Yatter opened black
smith shop in Haverhill few months ago
and, it is alleged, began cultivating the art
OF making enemies. Conspicuous among
those whom he offended was Nat Clark,
with whom he had a hot quarrel on Thurs
day last.
On Friday morning Yatter went to
Woodsviile. the county seat. and OBJ
tanned from an incomplete board Of select
men authority to act as sheriff. Returning
to Haverhill he made prompt use of his
bringing him to the police court on the
charge of drunkenness. Clark pleaded
guilty and paid his fine.
Two nights later Sheriff Yatter was noti-
fed that disturbance was in progress at
North Hayerhill.
Arriving at the basement. where he had
been told the disturbance was going on.
he found a dozen men, who overpowered
him and dressed him a coat of tar and
feathers. He was finally permitted to wan
der forth and friends rescued him from his
uncomfortable garb.
Three OF his alleged assailants, Newell
c. Wright Fred Hall and Lawrence Joudro
are under arrest and warrants for four
more are out. Yatter's authority to act as
sheriff has been declared invalid.
This is the second New England tarrinS

HANNA's CHOICE UNPOPULAR.
Giving DIRK the Ohio Republican
ChairmansIip Thought Unwise.

GIVING DICK the Ohio Republican
ChairmaisIip Thought Unwise.
Columbus. Ohio. June 2O.--The selection
OF Col. Charles Dick as Chairman OF the
Republican State Executive Committee is
regarded by a large number Of Republic
cans in ohid aslhnfortunate. This opinion
is not confined to the factions lately op-
posed to Judge Nash in the State Conven-
same feeling.
1t is generally understood that Judge
Nash personally would have preferred some
other man to conduct his campaign. but
that he had to bow down to Senator Han
mas wish. Mr.. Hanna seems to have
grown more than ever confident since his
victory in the State Convention, and has
put over the Ohio Republicans, regardless
OF their feelings, man upon whom he
can count to do his bidding.
1t is positively declared by many Repub-
licans who are not particularly interested
in one faction more than another that Col
onel Dicks craftsmanship will cost the par
ty 10000 votes.
The Dick selection is particularly obnox-
ious TO the faction which supported Daugh-
erty in the preliminary campaign for the
nomination because Of the violent attack
ling concerning the fees charged by these
men for their services in getting Hahna
out Of the bribery scandal at the time of
his election to the Senate. Coming SO
soon upon the bitter charges and counter
charges Of these men. Dicks selection is
regarded as a Haunting of .te red cloth
by Hanna in the face of the opposing fac
items and as decidedly bad piece OF poll
cy.
There are conservative men in the party
who do not regard Chairman Dick as
good man for such a position. declaring
that upon the occasion Of his former cna;r
manship. the Presidential campaign of 1892,
he had poor organization, only twenty
two counties Of the eiglty-sIx being or
ganized at all. and that the State ticket
slumped several thousand votes N Jear
when it ought to have gained.
The office of chairman of the executive
committee is regarded as particularly i'm
portant this year. and although the Demo-
Gratis have not yet shaped their course of
opposition, there is much fear expressed
that Dick may lead his party to defeat
rather than victory unless the strong per-
sonality and popularity OF Judge Nash can
carry 1t through.

PULPIT AND STAGE.
Look to Each other for Help, sayr
Bishop Potter.

Look to Each Other for Help, Says
Bishop Potter.
New York, June 20.-Representatives of
the pulpit and the stage put aside old
scores last night and came together at the
Berkeley Lyceum to discuss topics for the
benefit of both.
Out of the meeting will probably grow
the Actors Church Alliance. with parishes
in every theatre town in the United States,
to which actors who are distressed may
turn for assistance.
All the congregations in turn were no.
titled that the meeting was to be held. and
enough responded to fill the Lyceum- In
the auditorium the proportion of church
people to actors was about ten to one. On
the platform sat Bishop Potter. Father Du-
cey, Rev. Joseph Reynolds. +. F. Mackay.
of the Actors Society of America: the
Rev. Dr. Lubbock. the Rev. F. Moran. A. C.
Deltwin. Rabbi Silverman, George ID. Mac
Intyre and the Rev. Thomas Sheer.
Among the players in the audience were
William E Owens, Alfred Fisher. Roland
Reed. Laura Burt. Miss Sydney Cowles. and
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Chartens.
Bishop Potter. who said he had never
been inside theatre but admitted the good
OF the institution, explained tnat the time
had come for the churches and actors to
look toward each other for help. This. he
said, was the object of the Alliance. AnOth-
er object was to do away with Sunday per-
formances and concerts.
The Rev. John Reynolds. Vice President
of the Church Association. was chosen
chairman and the Rev. Walter Bentley.
who was once an actor. went into the de-
tails of the proposed alliance. He said 1t
was to embrace all sects and creeds.
Every town visited by theatrical compa-
MES was to have chaplain representing
the Alliance, who was to administer 10 the
needs of any member of the organization
who might apply.
Letters from Viola Allen, Frederick
Warde, S. Delaney Townsend and Rev. W.
p. Faunce endorsing the movement were
read. The Rev. Walter E. Bentley offered
resolutions on Augustin Dalys death,
which were unanimously adopted.

war pro.pect. in Africn.

Whether there be any foundation or not
for the sensational statement OF the al
legged Boer plan of campaign published IN
the "St James Gazette" there is good rea-
son to think that some sort OF military
campaign in South Africa is very immi-
nent. The design, attributed to General
Joubert, OF making a rapid invasion OF
Cape Colony and capturing Kimberly and
Cape Town, may be nothing more than a
yellow dream Of journalism, but 1t covers
enough of possibility to make the British
Government extremely wary of precipitat-
ing hostilities before the strategic points
in the Queens South African possessions
are we'll garrisoned. and an army has been
placed in the field strong enough to assume
the aggressive.
British statesmen are extremely careful
tc deny the probability of war. and con-
tinually assert the opinion that all the
South African difficulties will be peacefully
settled through the ordinary channels OF
diplomacy. The truth probably is that il
the Beers were to turn loose at this min
ute they would have considerably the bet
ter of the argument for the next two or
three weeks. AS far as we know, the Brit
ish force now available for service against
the Transvaal state does not exceed, if 1t
equals. fourteen thousand men. consisting
of eleven thousand imperial troops under
Major General Butler; the remainder be-
ing made up Of the Cape Mounted Rifles
and the Natal and Rhodesa mounted po-
lice.
To meet this power the Beers probably
could put twenty thousand seasoned rifle
men in the field, and they are understood
to be much superior to their opponent In
the matter of artillery. 1t is reported that
himself with nearly or quite
fifty rapid-fre guns, besides
number of field batteries. and
has enlisted the services of six or seven
hundred trained artillerists who have serv-
ed in the German or Dutch armies. Mr..
Chamberlain is not apt to make the mis-
take OF beginning operations against such
an army with inferior force or equipment,
and. until the British troops and British
artillery in Cape Colony are at least on
even terms with the other side, John Bull
is not going to be officially truculent or
outwardly unreasonable. A little later,
however. we shall probably hear that a
good many regiments on their way home
from India have stopped in South Africa
to recuperate. and that other regiments,
en- route to Gibraltar, Cyprus, Egypt. and
India, have lost their way in fog and
fetched up at Cape Town quite by acci-
dent About that time. perhaps we shall
learn that diplomacy has exhausted itself,
and that Lord Roberts or Lord Kitchener
is about to visit the Transvaal for pur
poses of scientific investigation.
That was the way things were wont to
work when old d'Israeli steered the ship
Of state, and Mr.. Chamberlain is not with
out some of his practical as well as his
dramatic instincts.

MAY AVOID TRUST RELIANCE.
Statements Regarding the Standard
Gaslight Company.

New York. June 20.-A Wall Street news
agency quotes Russell Sage. as having au-
thorized the following statement: The
Standard Gas Light Company. having
cured from sources in no way connected
with the Standard Oil Trust more than
years supply of crude petroleum at prices
much lower than those quoted by the Trust,
will now pursue its business independently
of any combination with the other COM
panies.''
Mr.. Sage said to a reporter that he did
not care to discuss the matter. but at the
same time admitted that he had received
three different offers from independent in
terests both outside OF the city and in this
city, 10 supply the Standard Gas Light
Company with petroleum. II was. how
ever the general belief in Wall Street that
Mr.. Sage cannot make a deal with any
oil interest until after the meeting of the
board of directors of the Standard Gas
Light Company Friday.

BIG GUNS FOR THE KEARsARGE.
Ordnance to he Put Aboard the Ship
This Week.

Newport News. Va, June 20.-Another
of the big 13-inch guns for the battleship
Kearsarge has arrived at the shipyard.
This gun weighs 141,911 pounds. and is the
right-hand rifle for the forward turret on
the kearsarge. Its number is No. II. The
gun which arrived at the yard several
days ago is No. 16, and the right-hand rifle
for the after turret of the Kearsarge. 1t
weighs 141, ,s71 pounds, just 100 pounds less
than the forward gun.
1t is probable that both OF the big L.
inch rifles will be put aboard the battle
ship this week. Another 1S-inch rifle VIII
be shipped from Washington this week
and probably the fourth one will come the
following week. II is not known when the
trial trip of the Kearsarge can BE- set until
il is known just when all OF the guns OF
the main battery will get here. as 1t will
be necessary to have them aboard before
going cut. II all depends now upon the
Government. and the sooner the guns ar
rive the sooner will the kearsarge show
what she can do.
