EIGHTHPS FIGHT is ON.

The organization of the proposed new
Independent Eighth Ward Republican
Club is looked for at any time now.
Those behind the movement believe that
they have sufficient strength to warrant
such move, and a club will be formed
for the sole purpose Of blocking some
plans of the machine men. The anti
ring people believe that they can carry
a majority of the precincts and they
will make a determined fight to carry
the pext primaries.
Ex-AIderman George Decker will be
chosen as president of the new club.
He is about to leave the Wanser Club
along with many others, and the out
come of the present action will be the
zbrming of good strong club sto oppose
the ring people.

BERGEN CLUB SENSATION
Pool Playing By Boys
Stopped Because Of
Abuses.

Another sensation in the R;ergen Re
publican Club came to light a. few days
ago, when it was learned that pool play
ing in the club had been stopped among
a crowd of young boys who congregated
there nightly to handle the cue. The
direct cause of the discontin1 iance of the
game was the actions of the young fell
lows Nightly they gathered. in the room
and the language finally b, .came SO vile
that the officers of the Glib decided to
shut off all the privileges and exclude
them.
Among the players were sons of promf-
nent business men of the city. Their
mothers are said to have protested
against allowing them to, play the game
President William Harrison, when inter
viewed on the question of pool playing in
the club, and subsequent developments,
said that the boys had become such a
nuisance that the only thing the officers
could do was to denytthern the privilege
in the future.
Matters reached such point said
he, that I was forced to order the crowd
from the rooms. We thought that it was
far better to have the boys here enjoying
themselves at the pool table than in a
saloon, but they abusedS the freedom al
lowed them.
might after night they gathered here
to play, and the language used was

of loafers. A nice opini on people would
get of our club. if outsiders were to
come in and see these young fellows
raising a disturbance and cursing each
other. The mothers and fathers of these
boys have no idea of their actions
"As president ef. the club. 1 make this
statement to prevent the club being put
in a false light. The, revenue derived
from the game amounted to nothing, so
we could have had no particular object
in allowing the game to run, had we
known Of the boys conduct"
Another prominent Republican, who re-
signed some time ago from that organic
alton, stated that the pool and other
games in the club had caused him to
get out He said that the gangs that
gathered there to play pool were dis
graceful, and dec ent Republicans could
no longer tolerat g the state of affairs.
There is an unusual amount of bitter
ness against tho people at the head of
the ward affairs. The action of the ward
leaders has caus sed the Republicans who
believe in clean politics to bolt the party
and vote Independently. The club is
steadily dwindling in membership, and as
a political fay,tor, in the language OF the
yernacular, it Is dead one."

LIFE WAS ALL coURTsHIp.
The Union Of Gladstone and His wife
Was a Love Match That Lasted
All Their Days.

Probably the marriage between VIII
liam Ewart Gladstone and Catherine
Glynne was what is happily known as
"love match She waa famous
beauty, and he was amply fitted to
appreciate her loveliness which from
year to year he learned was as much
of character as OF appearance. That
she was content to play the part of
true helpmate all who have ever seen
the couple together have borne Wit
ness. Intellectually, she was perhaps
fitted to make name for herself had
she so chosen; II he had not been so
exceedingly great he might have been
known only as her husband. But she
was satisfied TO he his prop-remain-

need of her there. In the busy, hard
working days Of his life she was his
constant attendant, and IT has been
said that his moral strenuousness was
oftentimes due to her influence, says
the Boston Transcript.
Then, as Illness and old age made II
necessary for him to lessen his public
duties. she continued to be the true
helpmate by watching over his phys
ical comforts in the tenderest way. 1t
was said at the time Of his death that
her unceasing care had undoubtedly
prolonged his life. II must have been
gratifying TO her TO hear this, for she
had clearly made this her mission.

THE CAVES OF MoKANA.
tnins That Contain Many
Natural Wonders.

Capt. Cameron. ON his journey
through urua in 1872, heard of the
cave dwellers in the districts Of the
headWaters Of the Congo river, but in
spite Of ali the efforts he made was
unable to discover them. News comes
now from Brussels, says the Phila-
delphia Record. that Lieut.. Leon
Cerckel, Of the Congo state troops, sue
ceeded ia locating shese cavcrns. Ac-
cording to report published in lie
Movement Geographic, these caves
are situated in the mountains and
hills which surround the valley Of the
Lufra. a tributary Of the Lualaba.
The Lnfra falls down at Djuo over
rock some 120 feet high, whence IL
flows through a rayine of from 400 to
500 feet deep, surrounded by steep
rocky mountains.
In distance Of about ten miles
from the Djuo fall are the caves Of
Mnkana. All the caves are situated
In the rocks. Some Of them are two
miles and even more in length. and
most Of them are inhabited by savage
tribes. Lieut.. Cerckel says that they
pi% absolutely dark, but not humid.
and that at least several thousand peo-
pie dwell therein. The fires which
burned within the caves caused a
dense smoke, which made close in
ves,igation impossible. Cerckel sue.

caves after he had presented the chief

savages.
