doctors pronounced it local disease,

local treatment, pronounced it in

to be a constitutional disease, and

The managers of w. NJ. Wallace's

district. in refutation of the charge that
Kingman county is not for the home
man, are organizing Wallace clubs in
every precinct in the county. A club
was organized at a rousing meeting
Saturday night in Kingman and the
Republicans are taking up the cause OF
their candidate in earnest.
In Wichita and IN Reno county
strong Wallace clubs are being formed

REST ON THEIR ARMS.
Kentucky Factions Are Now
Waiting on the Courts.

Louisville, KY, Feb. BIT is reason
ably certain the political situation will
remain in its present quiet state until
a decision has been handed down by
the court of appeals clearing the title
to the office of governor. Before Judge
Cantrill at Georgetown tomorrow the
Democrats will bring a suit in equity
asking an injunction to restrain Gov
ernor Taylor from exercising any of the
functions of the office of governor 1t
is expected a temporary injunction will
be granted. In case the Republican ex-
ecutiVe diSregardS the action of the
court as was done in the case of the
AlOnZO Walker habeas corpus writ and
the injunction against interference with
the Legislature, the Democrats will not
press the proceedings for contempt but
viii take the case to the court of ap-
peals, which, according to their con-
tention, is the court of last resort in
these proceedings.
This plan was decided upon today at
a conference of the Democratic leaders
including Governor Beckham, Congress-
man D. H. Smith, Ex-Governor Nc
Creary, Judge w. S. Pryor, and several
other lawyers.
Pending the result Of this suit and
the case before Judge Taft involving
the minor state officers, it is expected
both sides will allow things to remain
as they now stand. The Democratic
legislature will remain in Louisville
and it is believed the court of appeals
will sit here instead of Frankfort as
long as there are any soldiers or armed
men about the state buildings at the
capital The assembly is proceeding
with legislative business.

rent resolution which had already

Repairing the "Bloody Tower"
[From the London News. ]

That venerable part of the Tower OF
London known as the Bloody Tower is
undergoing considerable repairs at the
hands of the masons. The upper por-
ton OF it, which faces Traitors Gate
mas been refaced in parts, pointed ana
colOreG to resemble age. The building
is to be restored all around Chalk, in
large blocks. enters largely into the
composition of the inner parts of The
walls, and t is declared by the ma
sons TO be as hard, if not harder, than
ever it was. Some parts OF the wall
by the Tower are fourteen feet thick.
The greater part of the outer sur
face OF the Bloody Tower, like that of
the Bell Tower and some others, has
since the year 1882 been plastered over
at various times with Roman cement,
into which shallow portions of flint
have been superfciaIly embedded. This
was in rough imitation of the old solid
flint work OF ancient times. which ac-
tuaily formed parts of walls, and is
seen IN perfection in st. Saviour's,
Southwark, and as it was calculated to
deceive, and it became dangerous
through its rottenness-the fints fall
ing, and SO OMIT was all removed. The
lower portion OF the Tower, built of
square blocks of ashlar stone, has had
a lot of suDerfuous Roman cement
stripped from it, and looks somewhat
lncongruous in comparison with the
upper part which is of the irregular or
DER OIL masonry, 0ul IHdl Is
able, and may in a measure yet be rem
edied.
Reservations and repairs have often
been carelessly done in much earlier
years. For instance, the doorway that
led from Raleigh's Walk directly to the
room in the Bloody Tower, in which
the infant princes were supposed to
have been murdered, had been bricked
up from the inside to give support to
a portion of the Tower. This has all
been removed and the Tower strength
ened in a more reverentiaI way. The
old oak door. with its heavy fasten-
ings, which had been covered by the
wall, lies now on its side on the wall,
and when the rottenness at the bot
tom is repaired is to be restored to its
place It was through this doorway
that Dighton, Forrest and Tyrell are
said to have passed to their fearful
work. Raleigh, Cranmer and Ridley
have certainly passed through it when
prisoners here in the Tower, and Gran
mer often, when he daily took his din
ner with the lieutenant of the fortress.
So say the authorities. Portions of the
old houses which are to be seen above
that part of the battlements known as
Queen Elizabeth's Walk, which con-
meets the Bell and Beauchamp towers,
are also undergoing restoration. 1t is
said that Queen Elizabeth used this wax
Tower, hence its name The old houses
had sunk quite fifteen inches, and had
to be raised to their proper height by
hydraulic means Had they not been
seen to in time they would in all prob
ability have tumbfed down and buried
the esteemed lieutenant of the Tower,
who lodges in them, in their ruins.

4 FEATHER IN HER CAP

New York, Feb 13-At the Prince of
Wales suggestion Mrs. Aston will head
the list of patronesses at Mrs. Lang
try's bazaar at Sherry's this afternoon.
In a word, His Royal Highness has
taken a hand in New York's innermost
circles. and even Mrs. Astor, for years
the leader, has been forced to bow to
his wishes.
When Mrs. Iangtry brought 1.-THE De-
generates" to New York, some weeks
ago, she also brought a burning desire
to send back many thousands of good
American dollars for her pet plan, the
hospital ship Maine, already doing duty
in South Africa. She likewise wanted
20 rec'te 'NThe Absent Minded Beggar'
wherev er it would do the most good.
SO she planned a bazaar at Sherry s,
and she planned an American bar and
pretty girls, and flowers, and music, and
the august patronage of all the ladies
whose word is law unto New York So
ciety.
Mrs Langtry enlisted the services of
the E1rl of Yarmouth, who is likewise
connected with the stage as Eric Hope.
Mrs. Iangtry made out her list. Mrs.
Aston headed it. Now Mrs. Astor heads
many lists-her name begins with "A"
If it began with ~" it would still head
all lists.
Mrs. Astors compliments" read
note that Mrs. Langtry received, SO
the story runs, but she will not be
able to be a patroness at her bazaar at
Sherry's for Tuesday, February 13."
Mrs. Iangtry was completely upset.
She found her pet plan didn't take with
New York society half as we'll as it
might have taken in London. But Mrs.
Langtry is resourcefuI Likewise is the
Prince of Wales.
At once the cables buzzed The
whole SOtry was told to Lady Randolph
Churchill. who told it to her very dear
friends Mrs. Arthur Paget Mrs. Corn
wallis West Mrs. Adair and Mrs Loril-
lard Ronalds In due time it reached
His Royal Highness the Prince. The
cables buzzed again, and Mrs Langtry,
SO the story runs. called upon Mrs.
Aston to let her know that if she chose
to be patroness at the bazaar her
daughter, Mrs. Oglivie Haig, would
be called upon by Mrs. Paget, Lady
Churchill, Mrs. Ronalds. Mrs. Adair and
Mrs. CORVALLIS West in London.
To have these ladies call upon her
would fix it very nicely. All this Mrs
Langtry told Mrs. Astor. So Mrs. Astor
will be Datroness. She has changed
her mind. All society heard today
that the Prince of Wales was the one
person who could do it.
1t was he who asked Lady Churchill
and Mrs. CORVALLIS West and Mrs
Adair and Mrs. Ronalds and Mrs. Paget
to be very nice to Mrs. Haig in case
her mother, Mrs. Astor, would help Mrs
Langtry'S charity for the British SOL
der. The story runs that he also added
that if Mrs. Aston wouldn't be a pa
troness for Mrs. Langtry the doors of
London society would be closed to her,
and all the rest of the New York "4O0''
for years to come. And no one can
close them more sharply than the
Prince himself

ODE TO LINCOLN.
Recited by Edward Markham at New
York Dinner.

New York. Feb. 13.-At the Lincoln
day dinner in this city last night Ed
win Markham, the poet, recited an orig
inal ode entitled Abraham Lincoln,
the Great COmmoner," from which the
following is an extract:
The color of the ground was in him,
the red earth;
The tang and odor of the primal things;
The rectitude and patience of the rocks;
The gladness of the wind that shakes
the corn;
The courage of the bird that dares the
sea;
The justice of the rain that loves all
leaves;
The pity of the snow that hides all
scars;
well;
The tolerance and equity of light,
That gives as freely to the shrinking
weed
As to the great oak fiaring to the wind,
To the graves low hill as to the Mat
terhorn,
That shoulders out the sky.

A DIAMONDS FALL.


lfrOm the jewelers. REVIEW.
Probably nothing more strongly illus
trates how American taste and knowl-
edge of precious stones has advanced
in the past so years than the story of
the Dewey diamond" 1t was found
opposite Richmond. Va, in 1855, by a
laborer while grading a street
From Mr.. George F. kunz's descrip-
ton of it in "Gems and Precious Stones"
copyright by the Scientific Publishing
company, New York, 1890, the stone
never had much value, and the large
price paid for it was due probably part
ly to it's size and partly to sentiment.
It's original weight in the rough was
23% carats. and after cutting IL 11-16
carats it was valued il Richmond at
$4,000, and was cut by Henry D. Morse.
of Boston, at an expense of 81, 800.
1t was owned successfully by Samuel
W. Dewey, of Philadelphia, Pa, who
named it "Orinoor" (Sun of Light; J.
Euglist and John A Morrisey. Mr.. Nor
risey loaned $4,000 on it and received
the diamond in default of payment
When it was considered that the stone
was off color and hawed, and valued in
1890 at not more than $500 or $780, it
seems astonishing that any one could
be found to loan on it so large an
amount as $4,000.
