Alto $50 Worth Of Peaches.

from the chicago Evening Post.
The late William C.. Whitney wanted
to do something out of the ordinary
when he gave his first cabinet dinner as
u member OF President Cleveland's cab
met. He secured the markets of Wash
tngton for delicacies. For fruit. he de-
cided he would have peaches.
It was in the middle Of February, ana
there were no peaches in Washington.
He found q man in New York who said
he could get some. and Whitney ordered
several baskets.
The dinner was q great success. In
discussing it next day Judge Lamar
said:
Those peaches were fine. Mr.. Whit
ney. Where did you get them?"
I'm New York" Mr.. Whitney said.
"a man there found them for me-"
Peaches IN February are certainly a
great treat continued Lamar. ST It
Is a fair question. how much did they
cost ~
They cost s4s q Dozen" said whit
ney.
stAnd did President Cleveland eat any
Of them? He Is SO found OF fruit
Ibid he eat any Of them?" exploded
Whitney. II thought he rather crowd
ed the mourners. He ate f1ve!"

The Key to ReaI Success.

w. D. Howells, in Harper's Magazine for
September.
A prime qualification for success in any
art, trade, or profession is the love Of 1t,
though love alone will by no means bring
success in 1t. The love must be reciprocal;
that is, the vocation must desire it's fol-
lower, for reasons which there is no find
ing out, and which must remain as much
a mystery to him as to any Of his wit
.nesses. She was Noteworthy" says
Heine, in treating of a more passional
case. IAN he loved her; but he was not
Noteworthy, and she loved him not" The
fond youth, university-bred or self-made,
may have ever so great a desire for jour-
nalism, but Journalism will have no de-
sire for him, unless he has the peculiar
charm for 1t which commands affection In
all cases. He can only prove the fact by
trying. and by longing to try with a long
Ing that excludes the hope of every other
reward beside the favor OF the art he
wishes to espouse. Riches. fame. power
may be in the event. but they are not to
be In the quest. The wish to succeed in
1t for It's own sake must be his first mo-
tive. and the sense OF success in It must
be his first reward: those other things
must be left to add themselves, without.
his striving for them. SO far AS he strives
for them. they will alloy and dilute his

 "In this mornings papers. read that Nr. o'Reilly makes a claim for more money. That is a matter for former Governor stone. my counsel in Pitts burg. to take charge of. There seems no reason for me to discuss the diff ferent claims, and therefore I have nothing to say, except regarding one fact.
 The sums already expended and the names of the lawyers and others to. whom paid the money, were clearly stated in the newspapers. There is only this much to add: Besidep the heavy total of about $417.5 that I have paid out myself. my motfser paid our family physician, and gave about $47.500 additional to Mfr.

BEATEN TO DEATH
BODIES OF TWO MASSACHUSETTS,
 POLICEMEN FOUND.
They Had Been Sent Out To Watch For ChicE<em Thieves--Evidences
 Of a Hard Struggle.

Metheun. Mass. Auugst s.--Covered with bruises. the bodies of Charles Emerson and Frank McDermott. mem bers of the Methuen police. were found in a meadow on the outskirts of this town today.
 The two officers were sent out last night 10 watch for chicken and vege- table thieves. They failed to return today and a search was instituted for them. There was every evidence that the two officers were beaten to death.
 When the officers failed to report for duty today. Chief of Police Jones at once organized searching parties. Late in the afternoon the bodies of the two officers were found lying half concealed in some bushes in the Beat meadow.
 McDermott's head was crushed in and there were many ugly bruises about Emerson's body. indicating that both officers were beaten to death. presuma- bly with two blood stained stones which were found nearby The bushes were spattered with blood and tramp led evidently by a-struggle.
 It is thought that while the two of- ficers were following the man or men they suspected of thieving. they were attack cd from the bushes. Two large rocks. well aimed and thrown from behind at a short distance. 1t is be- lievad. knocked down the surprised of- .fcers. As they tried to rise to their feet, they were set upon with clubs and beaten to death.

 The tribesmen are extravagant in their demands for money. which the Shah is unable to grant, and they threatened to destroy the palace and pillase Teheran. The s2so, 900 secured from the Russian bank recently as a loan on the crown Jewels Is already exhausted. General LiakhoRf's Cossacks are unable to make any headway against the tribesmen who have re- fused to permit the Shah to leave the camp at Badeshakh for 6altanabad, where the harem Is now staying.

DEMOCRATS CONFER
FINANCING OF NATIONAL cAM-
 PAIGN DISCUSSED.
Governor Haskell Says He Is Conadent That Enough Funds VIII Be Raised to Wage Hzard
 Fight.

Chicago. Aug. 9.-Ways and means of financing the Democratic national campaign were discussed at length to- day at a meeting of Chairman Mack of the National Committed. Governor Haskell of Oklahoma. Treasurer of the Committee; Colonel Moses c. Wetmore of St Louis, Chairman of the Finance Committee. and Willard F. Dunlap of illinois. former Treasurer of the Na- tional Committee.
 No definite decision was reached and the question of raising a fund of suf- ficient proportions to maintain an ef- fective three months campaign will be brought up for solution at meeting of tho various heads of the sub-com- mittees tomorrow.
 Neither Governor Haskell nor Colo nel Wetmore have formed any definite plans for raising a campaign fund. al- though both are confident that the committee will not lack funds to meet all legitimate expenses of a presiden- tial fight While the suggestion has been made that a fund of half a mil lion dollars would be sought. both Governor Haskell and Colonel WetmorA declared that no definite sum had been settled upon. After an informal meet ing on the financial proposition today, Governor Haskell said:
 T have ever confidence that the committee will obtain all the funds needed to wage a hard fight for Mfr. Bryan, though as yet, no plan has been determined upon. have made no ap- plication For money but have already received sl9.000 which came unsolfcit- ed, No defnite sum has been fixed for a fund which an our party. must be collected from the plain people"
 Colonel Wetmore said he would call a meeting of the Finance Committee at once to devise some way to secure money.
 This is a Democratic year" said Colonel Wetmore. "and the Republicans will need dollars where we need dimes, Of course the Republicans will get their fund from corporations, Iti-million- aires and Federal officeholders. just as they always have done, but we must get our money from those who have hut little to spare. no matter how will ing thelr spirit may be. If we can get money enough to run a good campaign. Bryan will be elected. Raising money Is no easy task and if any one covets my job and thinks he can do better, he can have it."
