How Hill Won and Cleveland Lost.

LOUISVILLE April 1s.-Under the caption
"The Truth Of History Henry Watterson
in the Courier-Journdl tomorrow will, tell
Of the deal in New York in 1883 which car
ried that State for Hill for Governor but
lost it for Cleveland for President. The
article is called forth by the declaration OF
Don M. Dickinson that Judge Parker had
a hand in bringing it about.
Cleveland, Mr.. Watterson says, lost New
York because of his self confidence. Judge
Parker had nothing whatever TO do with IT,
Calvin S. Brice was chairman OF the execu-
tive committee Of the national campaign

man of the executive committee OF the
State OF New York. Early in October
Mr.. Oelrichs came to an agreement with
the chiefs of the State Brewers Association.

Gov. Odell has cracked the whip over the
judiciary many times before. and this is
only his latest interference with the func-

This suit was to determine the owner

MIR. Feldman made the application for the

asking this question the curious ones want

MONK EASTMAN ON The STAND
ADMITS THAT HE LIED AT HIS
FREEHOLD, n. J., TRIAL.

He's Q Pigeon Raiser by Occupation and
Lives In Richmond Hill, or, At Least,
Can Go Tnere-Was an InOfHensive
Passerby When the Row Took Place.
The prosecuting officer of Monmouth
county, New Jersey, may find OF interest
the fact that Monk Eastman, on trial before
Recorder Goif in the General Sessions for
attempted murder. admitted yesterday
that he committed perjury on Got. IA at
Freehold, n, j., where he was defendant
along with David Lamar and others for
assaulting Lamar's coachman,
Assistant District Attorney Rand had
before him the record Of Eastmans testi-
mony at Freehold, and he also had q record
Of Eastman's conviction for attempted
burglary, for which he did time on Black
wells Island. At Freehold Eastman tes-
tilted that he never had been convicted Of
q crime.
There was some surprise that Eastman
should take the stand, for it was believed
that his record was too black. HIS de-
fence. however, is that it is because Of his
past that the police are trying to railroad
him to prison.
The prosecution is seeking to prove
that Eastman fred four shots at a Pinkerton
man who was Watching q wayward son.
Taking Of testimony was ended yesterday,
and the case will 60 to the jury to-day
Eastman was the defenos's last witness.
Answering the questions Of his counsel,
George W. Hurlbut he said that he was
30 years old, unmarried. and lived in Fourth
street, Richmond Hill.
He then told the jury that in the early
Ezl- tkn ,ioht ~
he had been in q lower East Side saloon,
where he met a man named Wallace, Ed
ward Farrell and several others, some OF
whom he did not know. About II o'clock
they went up town and stayed in Forty
second street saloon until o'clock or later,
and all came out together.
Wallace and others OF the party began to
skylark. but he went toward Broadway.
The next thing he knew, he said. was that
BRYAN, one Of the Pinkerton men, had
hold OF Wallace and was shooting,
He had got pretty we'll along toward
Broadway, he said, when Wallace came

An Interview Between a Pa
tient and the Physician
at the 0ppenheimer
Institute.
PART ".

Patient-I have a friend vho drinks
to ercess, ond the sad thing about Il 70
that he ts a man of great mentality and
capable of great things vhen sober.
Physician-Yes; it Is doubly unfor-
tunate to see a great brain destroyed
Statistics show that professional men
and men Of finely developed intellect
are more commonly addicted than the
laborer. Their works are in lines that
exhaust their nerve potentials, and
whiskey is the lash that whips them
along. This only bears out the theory
that inebriety is a disease, and dis
ease OF the nervous system, nerve ex-
haustion.
Patient-I ON capable Of greater things
and brighter sayings phiie under the effect
of uhiskey.
Physician-The greatness Of your
achievements is more apparent than
real. While the first effect Of alcohol
is to stimulate ideas, it's use repeatedly
for this purpose impairs the judgment.
1t is safe to say your attainments would
have been much greater without the
use OF alcohol.
Patient-What reason have to know
that uour treatment is genuine and that
/ ,rM obtain the benefit I look for?
Physician--You have the promise of
an institution endorsed by men whose
integrity cannot be questioned, and
an institution where the results Of treat
ment for the past ten years have been
such that to-day prominent physicians
from all over the country send US their
cases. Our treatment is genuine, our
cases are cured. We have an estab-
lished reputation, and cannot afford
to misrepresent to you. In six years
experience in the personal care Of these
cases, I have yet to see the first case
whose craving was not removed where
instructions were followed.
Patient-I knop Of a man who took
cure for alcoholism and uho vent back 10
drink again.
Physician-very foolish man. I also
know OF a man who had pneumonia
once, and was cured by one Of our emf
nent physicians; the next year he de-
veloped pneumonia again. This in no
way reflects on his cure in the first in
stance. Treatment for a disease does
not render one immune to that disease,
be it pneumonia or alcoholism.
