New York Wants It

New York, Jan. 10.-The metropolis
is after the Democratic national con-
vention of 1900 Mr.. Bryan is credited by
the local newspapers with a feeling that

convention in this city and, thus en-
cOuraged, the business men are prepar-
ing to act The New York Herald has
offered TO contribute $4,000 toward the
expenses of the convention if a sufficient
sum is raised from other sources to
bring the total up to 500, 600. It is prob
able that this city will be represented
at the meeting OF the Democratic ma
tiOnal committee on February p, and
that a determined effort viii be made

LOOKS BAD FOR BARNES.
Kansas Nan Says Oklahoma Governor
Should Be Removed.

Washington, Jan 1o.-Mr. Jones, Mr..
Douglas and Mr.. Overholser of Okla
homa City, who are in Washington en-
deayOring TO bring about the removal
of Governor Barnes, gained an au-
dience with President Mckinley Tues
day They went over the charges
against the governor, to which Mr.
Mckinley listened with interest.
Judge Ryan, assistant secretary of
the interior was asked whether Barnes
removal had been decided upon. He re-
piled: I do not know. The matter has
been taken out OF my hands"
This can be taken as an Indication,
that the case has at least reached Pres
ident Mckinley and that il Will be set
tied one way or the other before very
long. Barnes declines to talk for pub
LEGATION Of the charges against him. He
tells his acquaintance here that he is
not in any danger of removal
Even NJ A Hanna, who has always
been Barnes friend, seems lacking in
appreciation of the fact that Governor
Barnes voted to send the convention to
Philadelphia While the national COM
mittee was in Washington Hanna asked
a well known Kansas politician what
the latter thought of Barnes and the
charges against him. The Kansas man
replied in a way by no means compli-
mentary to Barnes. saying that if the
governor was not removed there would
be a national scandal in Republican
politics. Hanna said that he was sorry
to hear what had been told him as he
had Endorsed Barnes and had hoped
that his administration would be a
credit to the territory and the national
administration. He did not think that
it would be wise to keep Barnes in office
if what the Kansas man said was true.
Powell Clayton and Richard Kerens
are said to be the only persons who are
active in Barnes behalf. Even Clayton
is doubtful when his criticisms of
Barnes, made a year ago, are recalled.
In addition to individuals, the Rock Is
land and St Louis & San Francisco
railroad companies, at least high off,
Gals of these companies, are now as
sisting in the attempt to remove
Barnes, and it is this fact that is caus-
ing so much distress among the Barnes
men in Oklahoma.

PRACTICE MUST STOP.
Court Must Know Reason Why Power
ty Afidavits Are Filed.

Judge Hazen has come down on the
practice Of fling poverty afidavits with
divorce suits, and he scored the parties
who are in the habit of doing that sort
OF thing in the district court today,
and announced that he would hold up
all such cases unless he is satisfied
that they are really meritorious-
The law provides that when a person
IS absolutely without funds and a d.
vorce IS necessary for them. they can
file poverty affidavit, setting forth
that they can not pay the costs in the
case. and If the defendant can not be
made to pay them. the sheriff and clerk
Of the district court have to go without
their fees This law is meant to enable
women who are left without means by
husbands who abuse Them to procure
divorces.
such cases filed in the district court in
recent years-in fact, a majority Of the
divorce suits are accompanied by pow
erty affidayits. 1t is said that some at
torneys make a practice of fling pow
erty aradaVlts in order that their clients
may have that much more money to
pay them It is this class Of persons
that Judge Hazen is after
In looking over the cases fled during
the past term and the divorce suits
which have come before him, Judge
Hazen has noticed the popularity of the
poverty affidavit IN this class Of suits.
Some persons come in here and make
pauper affidavits" he said. when they
are able to wear better Clothes than
their attorneys, or than the court, for
that matter. I propose that this sort
Of thing shall stop. I VIII consider
meritOrious cases when I think there is
ground for a pauper affidavit. but there
are a good many such cases now on
the docket that I viii hold up. II par
ties are able to hire lawyers they are
able to pay costs. -

aldehyde which was accidentally dis

AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

'The Air Ship" the latest construc-
tion OF James NJ Gates. author of the
a Railroad Ticket" which was sean
at the Crawford theater last night, is
something of a free-for-an. 1t COM
bineS quick firing dialogue with much
horse play and numerous specialtes,
and gives the members of the company
presenting it ample opportunity to
amuSe themselves on their Own account
The audience last night was acquainted
with this latter fact during the course
of each Of the three acts. and While it
was in the dark as to the cause, that
the various members was amused was
proven by the many ''asIdes" and gen
uine laughter they INDUCED in. While
almost any nature of play" could en-
ter into such a piece as The Airsh1p
without affecting il. Mr.. Gates would
be thought better of as a. manager if
he kept the efforts OF his people on the
stage confined exclusively to the
amusement of the audience.
In the bunch specialties introduced
the work of the Hale Sisters took
leading position Their altogether orig
fnal and rather remarkable manner of
dishing up coon" songs so far as ac-
companying movements OF limbs and
body were concerned was responsible
for this. The turn of Miss Marie Stu

farce comedy long enough to have her
name in big type on the programmes. in
the last act was particularly apprecla-
ted by the audience
Pauline the hypnotist, and Carna-
Veaux. the mind reader. proved them
selves clever in their respective work
at the Grand Opera House last night.
Carnaveaux took up the greater pOr-
ton of the evening in his mind reading
tests. and brought each one that he at
tempted to a successful accomplishment.
The entertainment was concluded wish
a short hypnotic exhibition by Pauline,
in which he proved that a person in
hypnotic sleep is dead to the world"
by inserting a hat pin in the flesh Of
one Of his subjects.
Both Pauline and Carnaveaux are
young men. and their work is proof
that age had no significance in the sci
euces of mind reading and hypnosis.
They will continue at the Grand Opera
House the remainder of the week
Pauline, the hypnotist, created con-
siderable amusement by causing one Of
his subjects to fix his eyes on those of

as a witness. and endeavOr to keep

siderable stage walking and some stage

ging a mill-race and found the complete
skeleton embedded in the land. The tooth
measures over four inches across the base
and the bones of the animal clearly show
it to have been quite twenty-seven feet
high. The teeth and jaw indicate a her
bivorous animal of a species long since eX-
tinct, of course.
