Young Pullman wantsto Go to China

From the New York Telegraph.
 George Pullman has made up his mind to enter the service of his country.
 According to the story of a prominent Chicagoan whose assistance he secured young Pullman has made application through two Senators for position in the transportation department of the quarter master geenraPs office. appending to his note a request for assignment to China or the Philippines.
 But if he goes out to China 1t will doubt less be a sad blow to the hopes of remu- nerative vengeance now cherished in the bosom of Frederick V. Bowers song writer for a respondent in China and the service of his government is decidedly out of the jurisdiction of divorce courts and damage collectors.
 Until very recently young George Pull man held a focal position in the public eye by reason of the dispute between him and Frederick V. Bowers, the song writer, on the always interesting subject, "Whose Wife is She?
 Bowers declared that the lady in question formerly Chicago society belle, was the natural and lawful spouse of his bosom won in the proper style of romance ey ,h1 pathos and beauty of his troubadour's bal lads, and sealed according to the laws Of the commonwealth of Illinois.
 Pullman just as strenuously declared that the lady was his wife.
 Bowers instituted divorce proceedings and suit for damages In an amount which muas have been fattering to the lady's proper sense of her own value.
 Recently Pullman and Mrs Bowers-Pull- man are said to have separated. Anyhow she came back to town while the handsor..S z and sportive youth from Chicago remained to astonish Deal Beach, Pleasure Bay Long Branch and other Jersey trade cen ters by his exploits of wild hormanship.

MT. HuntIngton's Death

From the Washington Times.
 The death of no other American, broad as the assertion sounds, could be fraught with such national interest as that of Col lis P Huntington, which is reported today from his summer retreat in the Adiron- dacks. It's effects upon national legislation will be manifested in a variety Of ways that will be comprehended only by the in1- tiated. No other man of his time-perhaps no other man at any period of the nations history-wielded such power at washing ton, and thus ramiied with his influence the politics and business interests of every part of the country. MT. Huntington was not often in Washington. But ms glant hand was here always. He was not COT ruptionist in the common acceptauon or that term. It is probable that he used iess money to accomplish results Tn congress and in other departments Of the govern rneut than any man whose interests de- mand close attention at Washington. or course, he maintained powerful loppy here but this lobby has never dlsbursed much coin of the realm In accomphshihs results. MT. Huntington mastered mem bers of both houses of Congress by playins 1pon their weaknesses in other directions than that which leads to open bribery. He was a giant among pigmies With theiii' ihe played with them like pawns.
 He oyerawed them with the wonderful strength of hls intellect. Whether ne was Democrat or HepuDnCdn was nv clear. Nor did this doubt ever fnter1ere with the development of his purposes. lie bent all parties to his will with equal facility. Charles Francis Adams, than whom there is no subtler or more accom- plished mind in America, is quoted as oe- claring, after years of close business asso- ciation with him, that Huntington was the greatest man in the United States. scores of other men of broad acquaintance ana large affairs who knew MT. Huntington think that MT. Adams estimate is not 100 high. That MT. Huntington tremendous influence was not confined to California or the line of his great railroad system was shown by the opposition which he arrayeo in Congress to isthmian canal Legislation. With astounding regularity this proposition has been held in check for years by the votes of Representatives and Senators hailing from all parts of the country, ana that Huntington pulled the strings in every case has never been doubted. Now that he has joined the great majarity it IS con- didently expected that all organized oppo- sition to the Nicaragua Canal will cease and that Congress will move swiftly in the development of that stupendous national enterprise.

From the New York Life.
 The spread of education in the South is rapidly developing the negro, and his high est ambition is to be lawyer and a states man. Occasionally his eXertions get him before the court rather earlier than he plans. Samuel Jackson, Esq, who had read some law, found himself before the judge for some little irregularity with the fifth commandment. The case was clear.

great depression In the Southern agri-
cultural counties, and yet the laborer
received no benefit from the increased de-
mand. for he did not gnow of it.
The millennium has not come yet, for
either laborer or employer, but there are
some gladdening signs of the benefit
which both receive from intelligent CO.
operation based on a clear perception
of a demand that will arise and the sup
ply that is to meet it.
What political economist, writing in the
early part of this century in England,
or for that matter in America, in the day
OF small farms, either rented or owned,
even imagined the great wheat farms OF
the west as we know them to-day? Had
such a vast scheme of production been
described the author would have been
called a visionary or a mad man, more
probably the latter. The first objection
that would nave occurred to any critic
would have been the impossbility of get
ting labcrers to harvest the crop, and
the objection would have been sound, for
from the very hypothesis of the case the
and the labor could not be had in suf1i-
cient quantity. But to-day we see the
miracle of the laborer coming from
crowded cities of the east in time to
harvest the crops of the west, and then
going home again. Nor are they all
from the cities. Many of the harvesters
are college students, who use their vaca-
tons to lay up health and money on
which TO return to their studies. 1t is
a state of affairs that would have been
political economists They had Oxford
and Cambridge and the average English
farm on which to base their deductions,
and from that data 1t is not remarkable
that they did not foresee the modern wheat
farm or its laborers. But the boundless
ocean OF golden wheat in the west has
brought into being wealth that gives US
universities to which all may go. and
the spread of education, the respect for
honest labor and the opportunities that
can and do work as well as they read
Greek or study history, and the combina-
ton is one Of the great forces in our
national life of to-day.
A man who knows the lore of univer-
stiles and the life on great farms is not
one who is apt to be either selfish or
fanatical.
The more of such men we have the bet
ter for our country.

A SAD CASE.
Father, Mother and Four Children at
the, AlInSlOuSe

the AlInShouse.
Superintendent George B. Davis, of the
almshouse. had a pjtiful case 10 come
before him Thursday morning.
On that morning man about If
ty-tive years old, giving the name OF j.
P. Richmond, went to the office OF SUD
erintendent G.. B. Davis in the City Hall,
and told sad tale.
He said that he had just arrived in the
city the previous evening from South
Carolina, with his wife and four small
children. They went to the Franklin House
and spent the night.
He was penniless. and his children We're
hungry. Besides, two Of them were sick.
He said that he was a minister Of the
gospel and belonged to the Methodist
Protestant denomination, and that he
was a member of a church in Missouri
He had. falso, practiced medicine out
west, but had been unfortunate in bust
ness matters, and was now on his way to
his old home, where he was born and
raised, in Frederick, Nd.
The man told a straightforward story.
He was intelligent and of respectable aD-
pearance and seemed embarrassed as he
told mis- story Of misery and need. and
tears came into his eyes as he spoke OF
his wife and four little ones.
Mr.. Davis was touched, and Immediately
sent a sufficient amount of food to allay
the hunger OF the little ones. lie then
suggested that the stranger consent to take
his family to the almshouse, where tenn
porary relief could be had.
After some slight hesitation he decided
to accept Mr.. Davis invitation, the wagon
was sent for them. and they went to. the
almshouse. where they now are. The two
younger children are being treated by
the City Hospital physicians. and Mr..
Richmond will, in the meantime, COM
municate with his friends in Frederick.
TO arrange for transportation.
When seen Yesterday he told the
story as related above, and added that
he had been unable to locate permanently
for a long time. and had been from place
to place, in search of a chance, until
his last cent had been spent Mrs. Rich
mond is quite comedy, and the children
are interesting. Two of them are boys
and two girls, the oldest being about ten
years old.
Mr. Richmond stated that he had lived
in this city. and practised his profession
as a physician from 1872 to 1879. and that
he then went south.
The family will remain at the almshouse
for the present.
