"BILLY" EMERSON IN DISTRESS.
The Old-Time MinsteI Ill and Poor
in Chicago.

Chicago, July 5.-"Billy" Emerson, the
famous minstrel comedian, is i'll and
broke and occupies a cheap room in a
Clarke Street cheap hotel instead of swell
apartments in a high-priced hostelery as
he used to- do when he was the highest
salaried performer on the. minstrel stage
Emerson, who is crippled by broken an
kle, came to Chicago to appear at a local
theatre. He became i'll and being in fnan-
cial straits few of his friends knew he
was in the city. Those who learned Of his
arrival, however, have hastened TO his as
sistance.
In his poverty and trouble the pride and
courage of the old performer, who has
made hundreds of thousands of people
laugh until the tears ran down their
cheeks, are pathetic. When he earned
1000 a week on the stage, Emerson's lib
erality swas proverbial, but he saved moth
ing. He spent his money as fast as he
received it. Many enquiries were made at
the hotel where he is stopping yesterday
and several presents were left for him.

YACHTsMEN's NARROW ESCAPE.
Thrilling Scene of Rescue OF Man.
haitian Beach

New York, July 5.-A wrecked yacht and
the narrow escape of four men from what
seemed certain death made a thrilling
scene for over a thousand sightseers at
Manhattan Beach yesterday afternoon. The
S6-foot sloop yacht Blanche. of the Naris
sus Yacht Club. of Sheepshead Bay, man
ned by Capt. John Sutter, Herman Hook
hansen, Robert Toppin, and F. ]. Earls,
while running from the open sea into
Sheepshead Bay Inlet at 4:30 o'clock yes
terday afternoon, lost her tender. Captain
Sutter put the yacht about and ran down
for the little skiff, which meanwhile had
been swamped by the. rough sea. They
missed the tender. and at the same time
approached so near TO the bulkhead in
front of the Oriental Hotel that the Yacht
was unable to gather sufficient headway
against the wind, which was blowing from
off the sea. The desperate efforts Of the
crew TO beat their way out into the open,
terminating with the casting over of the
anchor, which dragged like a toy was a
sight which the watchers will not soon for
get.
Vita a rapidity which was startling, the
yacht was driven head on against the
bulkhead, ripping her bowsprit completely
of. Another wave carried her around
broadside to the spiles, and threw her
against them with such force as to carry
away the topmast, snap the halyards, and
unship the gaff, which fell to the deck
with a crash, and threatened to sweep the
yachtsmen overheard.
With the boom sweeping over the deck
with every surge, and the little craft
banging away against the spiles, a land
ing was impossible. A number of men,
among whom was Joseph Greaves, man
ager of the Oriental ran out on the bulk
head, and one by one the shipwrecked
crew were hauled ashore with great diff
Guilty. The owner and one of his friends
had been made insensible by being thrown
on the rocks The yacht was carried along
the bulkhead by the force of the waves,
and finally beached on the shores of
Sheepshead Bay total wreck.
Two other small boats were driven
ashore, but, SO far as was learned, none of
their nccunants We're injured

PoPULIsTs OPPOSE FUSION.
Leaders I'm Nebraska Issue an Adj
dress to the Party.

Omaha, Neb., July 5.-Nebraska Popu-
list leaders have issued an address to the
members of the party and it begins to
look as If fusion could never be accom-
plished again in Nebraska. The old line
Alliance men and Populists from the CEN
trail and western parts of Nebraska held q
meeting at Kearney this week for the pur-
pose of reorganizflg the Alliance for edu-
cational and reform purposes. An ami
mated address was issued TO the Populists
OF the West. Among other things the ad-
dress says: THE time has arrived when
we deem il our duty 10 appeal TO true
Populism and ask all Populists to attend
TO first principles-ask them TO labor for
the perpetuation of the Populist party and
avoid further association with those who
are planning its destruction No one can
deny that fusion with either of the old
parties viii eventually destroy the Popu-
list party. Today Democracy comedies that
Bryan will be their nominee next year.
We also note that everywhere Demo-
Gratis are looking for a suitable Democrat
TO nominate for Vice President No Popu-
list is thought of for even second place.
Democracy wants nothing from Populism
save the votes of its adherents. That sim
ply means the annihilation of the party
swallowing up Of Populism by the Demo-
cratic party after that party has made a
weak pretence of few of our minor prin-
ciples."

CIVIL SERVICE QUESTION
Awaiting the Attorney Generals
Construction Of a Rule.
Matter Involved Is the Reinstate-
ment of Those Who Have Been Out
of Government Employ More Than
Transformer Public Prfntery
Workmen Are Greatly Interested.

The Attorney General is now wrestling
rule of the Civil Service rules and regu-
lations as amended by President Mckin-
ley's recent order. The matter was re-
ferred to the Attorney General by the Civil
Service Commission for his construction
The provisions in question relate to the
reinstatement of employees who have been
separated from the Government service for
more than a year. One clause OF rule y
states that where a reduction of the force
is made specifically by law the person so
separated from the service may be rein
stated. 1t appears that Public Printer
Palmer has requested the reinstatement OF
printer who was removed by reason OF
a reduction of the force, and 1t is in this
case that the question has been referred
to the Attorney General for a decision.
The decision of the Attorney General is
awaited with deep interest by a number
of former employees OF the Government
Printing Office who were dropped from
the rolls several years ago, because OF
the lack Of work in the office. If the At
torney General holds that these former
employees come within the meaning of the
provisions in question, then Public Printer
Palmer will be enabled to reinstate a num-
Der of his old force who lost their posi-
tions several years ago. The Civil Service
Commission expects a decision this week.
Thus far only one reinstatement under
the amended rules has been madesin the
Government Printing Office. This was in
,the case of an employe who had been re-
moved on the charge of delinquency. The
Public Printer, in his request for REIN
he rin
stated he had Investigated the matter and
that there was no foundation 81 for the
charge. The certificate for reinstatement
was then issued.

BROKERS RESUME DEALS
Trading in Large Volume After the
Holiday Recess.
Advances Noted From the Closing
Prices of Saturday-BroOklyn Rap
i'd Transit Benefited by Settlement
of Labor TrOubIes-The Grangers
Active-No Sensational Features.

New York, July 5-The stock market
opened with the trading in large volume
and in the main at advances from Satur-
days final prices. There was very heavy
profit-realizing selling at the opening par
ticularly by the professional element, and
on that account the market showed some
hesitation in the early dealings, the high
est prices, as a rule, being made in the
initial transactions.
There was some disappointment felt
that London had not given more pro-
nounced response to the strength of the
local market, though. the cables showed
American stocks generally quoted at ad-
vances. Brooklyn Rapid Transit was
the feature at the opening in an ad-
vance of nearly 2 points, on the settle
ment of threatened labor troubles on the
road. The granger shares were very ac-
lively dealt in at about the general level
of Saturday. The Rock Islands May re-
turns were accounted somewhat disap-
pointing, and in a measure Offset the
splendid showing made by the ST. Paul
Company. New York Central and Penn
sylvania were only moderately active and
steady. Louisville and Nashville and
Southern Railway were firm.
There was practically no news over the
protracted holiday to influence the mar
ket in either direction.

Killed Herself From Pioue.

Boston, July 5.-Piqued at her lovers
refusal to make up after a quarrel, Irene
Faulkner threw herself from a third story
window on Charles Street last night. She
died at the City Hospital today from the
injuries sustained. Walter Ovenden, her
lover, is under arrest pending an inyestiga-
ton. His story is that during Miss Faulk-
ner's call at his room a difference arose
which resulted in her throwing a cuspidor
at him. She later tried to make up with
him and upon his refusal carried out a
threat to jump out of the window. Miss
Faulkner was twenty-five years of age, and
had threatened self-destruction on a pre-
viouc occasion

rAMMANY CAUGHT MAPPING.
Furore for Mr. Bryan Aroused by Mr..
HOgg's "ShOrt Talk

New York, July 5.-Tammany is trying
to explain today how it happened that the
cut and dried boom for Judge Van Wyck
was suddenly turned into Bryan demon
stration. Former Governor Hogg, OF
Texas, had escaped the Tammany censor
when he was invited to make ive-min-
ute speech, and ii was not expected ne
would upset the Tammany plans In that
short time. But Governor Hogg did not
stop at the end of five minutes, and at
the proper time he whooped it up for the
Nebraska man. AS a result the demon
stration for Bryan and the Chicago plat
form has completely upset Croker's plans
and the boss will probably come home
from England before the end of the
month. Today some of the leaders said
that they had known what Hogg was go
ing to say before he was put on the list of
short takers. Others were denouncing
him for his speech and said that he was
seeking notoriety for himself. All the eyi-
dence tended to show that the men in
charge of the celebration had no idea that
Hogg would come out openly for Bryan
and the Chicago platform. II is certain
that the leaders did not expect any such
demonstration as occurred.
the programme was hurriedly changed and
State Senator Thomas F. Grady and Con-
gressman Amos J. Cummings were put
forward to combat the Bryan declaration.
Grady turned to Hogg and moving his arms
with great vehemence, said that Tammany
would support the platform and candidates
CT the party next year, but the issues of
the campaign and the leader would be de-
termined in the National Convention, and
not before.
Mr. Cummings said that there would be
a number Of issues next year and that the
combined wisdom of the party in conven-
tion assembled would make the platform
and select the strongest man for the nomi-
nation. He tried to arouse some interest
in State issue, but the rank and file at
the Wigwam celebration wanted Bryan and
the Chicago platform.
The great demonstration yesterday may
force the Tammany leaders to change their
plans, and if the State convention next
year does not reaffirm the Chicago plate
form 1T will at least pledge the support of
the State organization in advance to any
candidate and platform of the National
Convention.

DELICATE SURGICAL WORK.
A Bullet Extracted From Behind tn
JuguIar Vein.

New York, July 5.-Montague Barrett
sixteen years of age, who was shot in the
mouth at Saranac Lake in the Adirondacks
two weeks ago, was brought to this city
yesterday and was taken to the Hahnemann
Hospital. DR.. Homer l.. Osten, Of No. ~
West Eighth Street, performed a delicate
operation in extracting the bullet.
An x-ray photograph that had been
taken week ago misled the physician
and the first incision he made in the
throat was not a success, as the bullet
could not be found. 1t was then discoy-
cred that the bullet was Immediately be-
hind the jugular vein; In fact, resting
against it. DR.. Osten then made a long
incision in the throat and managed to re-
move the bullet without injuring the It's
sue surrounding the vein. 1t is believed
that Barrett will recover

THE LEFT vENTR1cLE sEwED.
Surgical Feat on a Rabbi Stabbed
Through the Henrt

Binghamton, N. Y, July 5.-For the first
time in medical history the left ventricle
of the heart has been sewed and the pa
tient lives.
Louis Gingsberg, a Jewish rabbi, was
stabbed yesterday by a negro who plunged
knife through his heart. The rabbi fell
dying to the sidewalk. His wife rushed to
his side, imploring him not to give up. He
made a supreme effort TO rally and a ply
sician who was called injected saline solu-
tion to replace the blood until an ante
mortem statement could be taken. When
this was concluded and the man still lived
the ribs were parted and the heart ex-
posed. Between the pulsations with light
ning-like rapidity a needle and thread was
passed through the left ventricle, several
stitches being taken. The wound was then
dressed and the man rallied. This morn
ing hope is entertained of his recovery.
