Unusually Neat Retort Credited to .
Spellblnder.
Congressman Slemp OF Virginia told
q story the other day which he says Is
an illustration of the retort courteous
In Virginia campaign.
According to Mr.. Slemp, there were
two spellbinders In a backwoods dis.
.rict named Patrick Cauley and "Old
Man" Adams. They were engaged in
joint debate, and Cauley, hot-headed
Irishman, had spoken pretty plainly
his opinion of his opponent ard the
party to which Adams belonged.
When Adams rose to reply, he said
slowly:
"The honorable gentleman's speech
reminds me Of story about farmer
friend Of mine back in the woods. It
was In the days when there was q
brand Of bacon known as Cincinnati
bacon because 1t was made In that
city. The makers used to press all
the grease out of this bacon and then
soak 1t in water, so that It's appear
ance was not changed.
This friend Of mine bought q
wagon load Of 1t, and few days later
q neighbor asked him how he liked IT..
Well said the old man, 1T looks
all right and ii weighs all right, but
when you ,ome right down and try 1t
out by frying, there is more or less
grease than any doggoned bacon I
ever seem New York Times.

triarch, they would swim around the
fishermen's nets, never approaching
them nearer than ten or twelve yards.

Indigestion Is often caused by over

AWAIT. CARRIE MILTON.
Angry Woman. 5cith Hatchct. MoU-
ing Toscard Tarcrn from Vest.

The employees Of the Subway Tavern are on
guard against visit from Carrie Nation. who
is expected in New-York some time this week.
The Woman with the Hatchet started East as
soon as she heard that Bishop Potter had been
present at the dedication Of the saloon. She
has lectured against the tavern at every place
she stopped. and each lecture has been more
scathiug than the preceding one.
President Johnson Of the tavern company last
heard from her on Monday at Philadelphia,
where she lectured in an African Methodist
Episcopal Church. and denounced the tavern
and all connected with it. She Is quoted
saying:
There was a big ball in hell when Bishop
Potter dedicated the Subway Tavern. The
devil was delighted. l think his action would
be a disgrace 20 layman. and It IS. OF course,
much worse in a high ecclesiastic. He has out
ragged the common decency OF the Episcopal
Church"
Mrs Nation has wholesome fear Of the New
York police, and realizes that Kansas methods
would hardly be tolerated in Manhattan. Still,
the tavern, with fits dedication. has caused all
her anti-saloon wrath TO fame again. and there
is no telling what she viii do The employees Of
the tavern glad that Police Headquarters
are just around the corner and that the reserves
can be turned out in short order
The paintings which were lent 20 the tavern
by friends Of the corporators have been fully
insured against damage from any cause. The
fne plate glass mirror behind the bar however,
shines at the owners risk.
A new employe made the discovery that the
Subway Water Wagon did not keep in stock a
supply Of morning after remedies. He pro-
ceeded to order a generous supply of the various
drugs that hard drinkers use TO lessen the IN
pleasant after effects.
DO you think a model tavern should sell
such things? Joseph Johnson, IT,, the manager,
asked him.
Il guess did make mistake" the new clerk
admitted.
Then unmake your mistake as quick as you
can. Send the stun back. No one gets drunk
In the tavern, and not IN tho business
OF helping out those who acquire headaches IN
other drinking places"

Mr. Chanler and his attorneys aIlsge. was IL

The filing Of the suit brings up again the
many contentious made in connection with the

and his escape from that institution several
months later Chanler and many OF his friends
insisted that he was not insane. Prescott Hall

signed his committeeship afterward.

and retains the same. The petition specifics
various large sums which. 1t is alleged. the de-
PENDANT received.

understood, tho feneroI government could APP

Jersey.
1t is part of the 10 acres at Ellis Island which
the federal government has desired for some time
Twenty-seven acres had already been acquired, and
the additional ten acres granted to-day is all that

City officials Pay No attention TO

From the unimproYed condition yesterday Of
certain streets that for long time have been
a source Of Inconvenience 10 persons living or
conducting business along them. it would APP
pear that the city officials in charge or the
paving OF thoroughfares are engrossed in other
things. About two weeks ago The Tribune pre-
scented to the Commissioner of Public High
ways the frightful condition of West Fortieth-
st. near Fifth-ave.. which has been so torn up
by the frequent laying OF water mains that II
has become a menace to health. few days
later the commissioner, IN the presence Of
Tribune reporter and two other officials OF the
department. made great show Of sending
message to the Borough President, asking that
an order be issued TO have the street paved at
once.
When the reporter visited the street yester-
day ne found that nothing had been done tow
ard the paving. The large holes filed with stag
nant water and mud and extending for about
three hundred feet west of Fifth-ave stu re-
NAMED. He went Immediately TO the Highways
Department, and was told in the absence OF
the Commissioner that the papers requiring
the street to be paved had just few hours be-
fore been signed by the Borough President La
boring under the impression that the stagnant
water in these holes offered breeding places for
disease bearing mosquitoes the reporter went
10 the Commissioner of Health and told him
about the holes in Fortieth-st. The Commits
sioner promised to make an investigation.
The growing abyss at Forty second-st and
Broadway. where the Degnon company has been
conducting mining operations for the last three
four years. gives the impression that. ac-
cording TO the laws of geometrical progression.

duct parties from one corner 70 the other. The
junction OF these two streets is one of the
busiest In the city, owing TO the number of cars
always passing along both, and the business
houses, public buildings and theatres nearby
The DegnOn company about month ago said
that the delay i'm finishing the work at this cor
due to unreas onable demands made
upon them by the officials Of the Department Of
Water Supply, Gas and Electricity IN regard
to the laying Of certain water mains 1t will
be remembered that the Degnon company gave
similar excuses about the prolonged delay in
the work I'm Forty-secOnd-st. between Broad

forced the company to get around the causes
