THE GREAT JtAliTHOLDI STATUE. .
It is Unveiled ll'llh All the Honor Due a
_ Work of Such Magnificent Character.
The unveiling ot Bartholdi's statue to
liberty took place on Bedloa's island , New
York , on IbeliStli. One hundred thousand
people took part in the festivities. The
crowd in Madison square , when tbe presi
dent reached the reviewing stand , was vast.
The sidewalks were choked w ith humanity
and Broadway was clogged with vehicles
'and street-cars above and below the inter
section of the line of march. When Bar-
tholdi , the sculptor , appeared ho was easily
recognized by the mass , who had seen his
portraits on the programmes and in illus
trated papers , a shout went up from those
nearest thestand. Theory of "Bartholdi , "
"Bartholdi , " was then caught up on both
the reviewing and the grand stands.
The formation of the marfne part of the
parade began in Hudson river , opposite
West Forty-filth street , at an enrly hour ,
but owing to the foggy weather it was
nearly 1 o'clock before the signal gun was
fired. At that time there were probably
one hundred vessels drawn tip in two di
visions. It was after 1 o'clock when the
signal gun to start was fired and the col
umn began its forward movement. The
music thai was played while the officials
and guests were assembling on Bedloe's
island was followed by the signal gun that
announced the beginning of the ceremonies.
: Prayer wns then offered by the Rev. Dr.
Richard S. Storrs , and Count Ferdinand do
Lesaeps then delivered an address on behalf
of the Franco-American Union. Senator
William. M. Evarts next made the presou
tation address , which was as follows :
Mr. President : Tlie scene upon which
this vast assemblage is collected displays a
transaction in human affairs which finds
no precedent nor reccrd in the past , nor in
the long future , we feel assured , will it ever
confront'ite counterpart or parallel. How
can we fitly frame.in words the sentiments ,
the motives , the emotions which have filled
and moved the hearts nnd the minds of
two great nations , in tho birth of the noble
conception , the grand embodiment , the
complete execution of this Htupenduous
monument now unveiled to the admiring
gaze of men , and emblazoned in its corona
tion of the finished work , with the plaudits
of tho world. What ornaments of speech ,
what eloquence of human voice , what cost
ly gifts of gold , frankincense and m > rrh of
our heart's tribute can we bring in the cele
bration of this consummate triumph , of
gems , pf skill , of labor , which speaks to-day
and will speak forever , the thoughts , the
feelings , the friendship of these two popu
lous , powerful and free republics , knit to
gether in their pride and joy in their own
established freedom nnd in their hope and
purpoee that the glad light of liberty shall
enlighten the world ? The genius , the cour
age , the devotion of spirit , the indomitable
will of the great sculptor , Bartholdi , whose
well-earned fame justified the trust com
mitted to him , have together wrought out
in Ptubborn brass and iron the artist's
dream , the airy conception of his mind ,
the shapely sculpture of his cunning hand ,
till here it stands upon its firm base , as if
a natural playmate of the elements ! fear
ing no harm from all the winds
that blow. As with the Frenchpeople , so
with our own ; the whole means for the
great expenditures of the work have come
from free contrii.utions of the people them-
selvefl , and thus the common people of
both nations may justly point to a greater ,
a nobler monument in the history and pro
gress and welfare of the human race than
emperors , or kings , or governments have
ever raised. The statue , on the Fourth of
July , 1884 , in Paris , was delivered to and
accepted by the government , by the author
ity of the president of the United States ,
delegated to and executed by Minister Mor
ton. To-day in the name of the citizens of
the United States , who have completed the
pedestal and raised thereon the statue ,
and Ihe voluntary committee who have
executed the will of their fellow-citizens , I
declare , in your presence , and in the pres
ence of these distinguished guests from
France , and of thu august assemblage of
honorable and honored men of our land ,
and of tbe countless multitude , that this
pedestal and the united work of the two
republics is completed and surrendered to
the care and keeping of the government and
people of the United States.
In accepting the statue , President Cleve
land said :
The people of the United States accept
with gratitude from their brethren of tha
French republic the grand and completed
work of art we here inaugurate. This token
of the affection and consideration of tho
people of France demonstrates the kinship
of republics and conveys to us the assur
ance that in our efforts to commend the
maintained excellence of a government
resting upon the popular will , we still have
beyond the American continent a stead
fast alb' . " We are not here to-day to bow
before the representation of a fierce and
warlike god , filled with wrath and ven
geance , but we joyously contemplate our
own Deity keeping watch and ward before
the open gates of America , and , greater
than all that have been celebrated in an
cient Troy. Instead of grasping in her
hand the'thunderbolts of terror and o !
death , she holds aloft the light which il
luminates the way'to man's enfranchise
ment. We will not forget that Liberty has
here made her home. Nor shall her chosen
altar be neglected. Willing votaries will
constantly keep alive its fires , and these
shall gleam upon the shores of our sister
republic in the east , and reflected thence
sind , joined with answering rays , a stream
of light shall pierce the darkness of ignor
ance and man's oppression , until Liberty
enlightens the world.
Otlier speakers followed , among them
Count DeLesseps , who said :
You are right , American citizens , to be
proud of your "Go ahead. " In speaking
to you of the sympathies of France , I know
I express tbe thought of all my com
patriots. There is no painful or sad
mempry between the two countries , but
one solitary rivalry , that of progress. W
accept your inventions , as you accept
ours , without jealousy. You have men
who dare and persevere. I say I like your
"Go ahead. "
We understand each other better when
we speak this language. I feel myself at
home when I am with you. Illustrious
descendants of French nobility who crossed
the Atlantic 100 years ago , bringing to
you tho aurora ol your independence , the
devoted co-operation of our national sym
pathies , dreamed of in your destiny. These
dreams have been more than realized.
"Old Hundred" was played by the band
and the assembly joined in singing the
doxology. Tho ceremonies were closed
with the benediction , pronounced bv tha
Rt. Rev. Henry C. Pott-r , D.D. , assistant
bishop of the diocese of New York. A
national salute was then fired simultan
eously by all the batteries in the harbor ,
afloat and ashore.
A3f UNPARALLELED CRIME.
Kansas City Dispatch : One of the most
barbarous crimes ever perpetrated * in4 this
city wan committed last night by a colored
man named Cy Lafferty. He engaged in a
quarrel with his wife , knocked her down
and beat her to insensibility. The fiend
then saturated her clothing with kerosene
oil , set fire to it and left her , making his
escape by the back door of the house. It
was several minutes before tho neighbors
discovered the woman's awful condition ,
when the flamea were * extinguished. The
body was burned to crisp and she died to
day.x The. murderer is still at large.
Lynching , in case of his capture , is freely
discussed. '
THE lAT.AmfAMOJfO BOYUfES.
Itrport of Dr. Salmon on the Disease Among
Chicago Cattle.
Dr. Salmon , chief ol tbo bureau ol ani
mal industry , in bia official report on ths
outbreak ol pleuro-pneumbnia at Chicago ,
describes tbe manner in wbich the plague
was traced to and discovered in the distil
leries stables , and says it was itself a de
monstration of its contagious character ,
the report continues as follows :
"The milkmen at first stoutly denied tht
existence of any disease among their cat-
But when theevidenc becameo too strong to
be longer contested , it was admitted that
they recognized'the appearance of lung dis
ease in 1884. They at fiift attributed it
to chemicals used in mash by the distillers ,
also to feeding sloft toohot , but had finally
concluded it was contagious pleuro-pneu-
monia , and have "been practicing inoccula-
tion to lessen mortality. It was soon as
certained that the cattlehad been removed
from the Phoenix distillery stables , driven
ovtr-the streets of Chicago and allowed to
pasture on the common. "
The doctor then detailed the quarantine j
measures , and adds : ' It might be safely
said that no cattle could be removed from
the distilleries without the fact beingknowj
by members of the state live utock com
mission. Inspection of city and suburban
herds brought out the'fact that the con
tagion has been very widely disseminated
that the diseased animals have been run
ning upon lots where many cattle grazec
and that practically we must consider al
unfenced pastures and vacant lots on the
west and south sides of Chicago infected
and all of the cattle running at large at x
posed. Most of the cases of the disease
found were chronic , and some of the herds
presented plain evidence of inoculation
having been extensively resorted to it
Cliirago. While it has lessened losses , i' '
appears to be one of the means by which
the disease has been spread. The intro
duction of the contagion in the distillery
stables is still a matter of doubt. The
milkmen believe it was introduced with
some cows bought at the Union stock
yards in the fall of 1884. If this version is
correct , it is obviously impossible to learn
at this late day whether the animals were
infected at some of the centers of contagion
which existed in Illinois that year , or
whet her it occurred by contact with some
of tho ninny eastern calves which were then
passing through the yards. The state live
stock commission has co-Operated cor
dially in the effort to discover and isolate
affected and exposed cattle , but neither the
state law nor the appropriations made to
secure the enforcement of its provisions an
adequate to the emergency. Every aninia'
in the distillery stables and everyone which
has been upon the infected commons of Chi
cago should bo summarily seized , con
demned and slaughtered. The experience
of the world with this plague tenches ue
ihere is no other course which can be relied
upon to serure the extermination of the
contagion.
Unfortunately it is only too plain thai
such a measure cannot be carried out , and
that it will not be attempted without addi
tional legislation. During the time which
must elapse before decisive and vigorous
action can be taken , public apathy wil !
have largely succeeded the intense interest
which has been manifested in this outbreak
of the disease ; the doubt and ( suspicion
which the cattle dealers have industriously
labored to create in regard to the nature of
the disease will have grown tolarge propor
tions by constant repetition , the interests
affected will have time to organize their op
position , the contagion will have been more
deeply rooted and the task of eradication
will probably have increased in magni
tude. These facts should ba borne in
mind , and should serve to maintain the in
terest of every one concerned in the fate o !
§ 1,200,000,000 worth of cattle now ownec
in the United States ; of every one who
values the beef supply which comes in cat
tle uncontaminatcd with disease ; of every
one who realizes the hardships and misery
which would be entailed by diminished food
supply such as would follow the general
dissemination of this disease and , finally ,
of every one wh sees the importance to us ,
as a nation , of maintaining our export
trade in live cattle and in fresh , salted and
canned beef. With contagious pleuro-pneu-
monia prevalent in the vicinity of Chicago ,
the great live stock center of the country ,
from which cattle are constantly moving
in all directions , it may be truly said that
the cattle industry of the country has
reached a crisis. It may be still rescued
from this scourge if congress , at its coming
session , can be made to realize the ueces-
sit3r of the situation. "
Twelve of the quarantined cattle at the
Phrcnix distillery were slaughtered last
week. The state veterinary held a post
mortem and pronounced tho animals
sound. He gave the owners permission to
place the meat on the market. To-mor
row probably fifty head at the Phoenix will
be killed. The doctors found tuo dead
cows in the Chicago distillery. Both cows
had died of pleuro-pneumonin. t

The Last TerribleJay * of Hie III. Rev. liisliop
Ildiniliiijtoji.
LON-DOX , Oct. 23. The diary of Bishop Han-
nington , who was put to death.by order of King
Mwanga of Uganda , Africa , has been publish
ed , giving the details of the last week of his
life. He describes the arrival of his part1 at
Subwas , where the chief , at the head of 1,000
troops , demanded ten guns and three barrels
of powder. The chief asked Bishop Hanning-
ton to remain with him for a day and the lat
ter complied.
Wuile taking" a walk the bishop was at
tacked by about twenty natives. He strug
gled with" his assailants , but became weak and.
faint and was dragged violently a long dis
tancc by the legs. When his persecutors
stopped they stripped and robbed him and im
prisoned him in a noisome hut full of vermin
and decaying bananas.
While the bishop was lying there ill and
helpless the chief and his hundred wives came ,
out of curiositv , to feast their eves on him.
On the next day he was allowed to return to
his own tent , w ere , " though still ill , he felt
more comfortable.
TEHIUBLE SUFFERINGS EXD IN DEATH. (
The bishop was still guarded , however , by 1
natives. He remained in bed during the foll
lowing days , parties of the chief's wives out
of idle curiositjorning daily to see him. He
was allowed to sc nl messages to friends , but
believed they were Intercepted. On tbe sev
enth day the bishop wrote that his fever con
tinued ; that at night the place
swarmed with vermin ; that the guards
were drunk and noisy ; and that he
was unable to sleep , and at last
became delirious On the eighth day , October
29 , he was conscious. His entries on this dav
were brief : "No news. A bvena howled all
night smelling a sick man. Hope be will not
have me \ et" This is the final entry.
It is believed that shortly after writing this
the bisbop was taken out and put to death.
Throughout the week there were Irequent en
tries referrinc to tbe comfort he derived from
reading the Psalms.

THE STEWART ESTATE.
Tlie Probable Distribution of the TasiJTcalth
Tliose to Whom it Will Go.
New York dispatch dispatch : Since the
death of Mrs. A. T. Stewart , speculation
has been rife concerning the disposition she
had made o ! the huge property left her by
her husband to which she had added a
large amount by her frugality and Judge
Hil on's economical management. The ro-
port that the mansion with its art treas
ures had been left to the city as a public
gallery was denied by near friends of the
deceased , who say that such a disposition
of the residence and it contents , valued all
told at 55,000,000 , would be entirely for
eign to the conservative spirit of the Stew
arts. Neither Alexander T. Stewart nor
his wife believed in public benefactions.
The general opinion among those who are
in a position to know appears to be that ,
tlie charitable benefactions'all told will
amount to scarcely a one-hundredth part
of the entire estate. They think that the
marble house will go to Hilton.
Charles J. Clinch , thesonof Mrs. Stewart's
dead brother , cabled Judge Hilton from
Paris yesterday that he would leave for
America on the first steamer. Mr. Clinch
and his sister , Mrs. Smith.areMrs. Stewart's
nearest blood relatives. He has always
been a favorite of hers and dependent on
her bounty for his support. Mr. Clinch
has an only daughter and it is generally
believed that a greater portion of the
estate will go to him. Mrs. Lawrence
Smith , wife of Judge Lawrence Smith , of
Smithtown , L. I. , was Mrs. Stewart's
sister-in-law. Her six children will also
come in for a fair portion of the estate.
The Misses Julia , Anna and Mary Clinch ,
half sisters , of Mrs. Stewart , will probably
receive something. Judge Henry Hilton ,
Col. Henry Hilton , jr. , his son , and his
daughters , Mrs. John Hughes and Mis.
Horace Russell , will undoubtedly be re
membered. Dr. J. CMinor , who has
attended Mrs. Stewart for. ten years and
daily for the last three years is said to be
down for $100,000. William Smith , Mrs.
Mack , the housekeeper , Fanny , the maid ,
and the other servants are remembered for
greater or less amounts.
The will in all probability will not be
opened until Mr. Clinch arrives from Paris.
Mrs. Stewart's diamonds are valued at
§ 750,000. Some of them are so large and
valuable that she never ventured to wear
them.
A BLOODY Z2VZ > JAZVr MELEE.
Peaceful Crates Attached and Killed l > y a
War Party of Sioux in Northern Montana.
Custer ( Mont. ) special : An army officer
arrived from Fort Custor states that at 3
p. m. Friday a party of Crow Indians rode
hurriedly into post and roportcd that they
had been attacked by a war party of the
Sioux , now in their camp , about three
miles up Little Horn river , and in the
melee which followed two of their number
had been killed. Col. Diirley , post com
mandment , immediately ordered the gar-
riso.j under armg , and in a short time they
were at the eccne of action , with five troops
of the cavalry. They found two Crow In
dians dead and thir.teen more wounded ,
while tho Sioux had left some of their
warriors dead on tho field , having
been compelled to abandon them ,
evidently owing to the rapid ad
vance of the cavalry. Detachments
were sent out and a thorough search
was made of the hills and ravines in the vi
cinity. The Sioux had made good their es
cape , however , and no trace of them could
be found. They are evidently the advance
of the war party of Sioux which recently
left Poplar river agency to raid the Crows.
Gen. Heath , the special agent at Poplar
river , notified the authorities of their de
parture , but was unable to prevent it , as
there are only two companies of troops sta
tioned near the agency. All the Indians
Ipft secretly and were far away when the
fact became known. The Sioux are said to
be greatly excited over the raid upon their
herds and the murder of the Assinaboine
squaw by the Crows near Poplar river , and
are evidently bent on revenge. Five Crow
Indians , who were captured by Mnj. Car
rol's command near the Yellowstone river
a week ago , are believed to be engaged in
this affair , are now m the guard house at
Ft. Custer. but it is doubtful if anything of
a criminal matter can be found ngaindt
them.
A KA'IGHT PROTESTS.
Pitlsburg ( Pa. ) dispatch : The action ot
the Knights of Labor at Richmond in
making a plea for mercy in behalf of the
convicted anarchists at Chicago has caused
considerable comment among the con
servative labor leaders of this city. There
were other measures adopted and recom-
mended at the Richmond convention
}
which arc quietly , but nevertheless severely ,
criticised by members of the order in Pitts-
burg. Thomas A. Armstrong says : "The
plea in behalf of the anarchists is very
much out of place. It is a disgrace to the
order and is not in accord with the senti
ments of a majority of the members. We
have nothing in common with the anarch
ists ; no more than we have murderer * , and
the line should be cleatly drawn. The an
archists of the country will construe the
nation of the Richmond convention to
mean that the Knights are inclined to sym
pathize with them. It demonstrates one
thing ; the home club element which ruled
the convention , and which passed tho reso
lution yesterday , is more or less in sym
pathy with the anarchistic element. This
faction will not be allowed to prostitute
the noble purposes of the order. Reports
from the Richmond convention showed
that there was war in the ranks , and it will
continue until some wrongs are righted. "
Mr. Armstrong voiced the sentiments of all
the prominent labor leaders here.

City of Mexico dispatch : Hon. Thomas
C. Manning , the new United States minis
ter , was formally presented to President
Diaz this morning , and an exchange o
friendly sentiments occured. Mr. Mannin ;
said : ' 'Mr. President , it gives me great
pleasure to present my letters of credence
from the president of the United States to
your excellency , accrediting me as envoy to
your government. The cordial friendship
for your government and people expressed
therein is but an echo of the sentiment en
tertained by the people of tho United State'
for the people of Mexico , and we feel as
sured it is reciprocated. It will be an
agreeable duty to me to foster these senti
inents and promote amity and good fel
lowship. The development of trade and
intercommerce , now auspiciously begun
and destined to expand ; n the near future
beyond even our present expectations , wil"
bind the two closer together , and indivi
dual association will soften the asperities
if any exist. Contiguity of territory is al
ways apt to engender local strife , and na
tional susceptibilities are sometimes
wounded by casual occurrences. I hope
frontier altercations will be diminished by
the prompt action of both governments in
redressing wrongs and repressing outrage ,
and if there be latent cause for frictions in
any law or custom which might at any
moment produce discord , the conciliatory
spirit of both governments I trust will
eradicate it in the interest of both peo
ples , and to the mutual satisfaction ol
both governments. I feel espe ial pleasure
on being accredited to the government ol

pied by your excellency , and I beg to as
sure you of the exalted esteem in which

COXGltESSIOXAL IX rESTIG ATIOXS.
Washington special : Talk IB being in
dulged in of two somewhat remarkabU
congressional investigations - the Cutting
affair and the surrender of Gcronimo. Th
former if it takes place will include th
Sedgwick matter as well as the facts re
lating to the arrest of Cutting. This sub
ject would go to the committee on forciga
affairs if it comes up in either branch ol
congress , and would be gobbled in t i
house if an intention to dp so was sus
pected to linger in the senate. Perry Bel-
mont is the chairman of the house com
mittee , and being a firm friend of Secretary
Bayard would not want the senate com
mitteo on foreign affairs , whose head is
Mr. Sherman , to have charge of the in
vestigation. Hence he will move if h
thinks there is serious thought of it in the
senate. The object of an investigation of
the surrender of Geronimo is more to get
at the bottom of the Texas-Mexico border
matter than anything else to learn its
actual status" and what is needed at the
hands of congress to preserve peace with
the Indians , but the Mexicans as well , and
to guarantee jufetice to our citizens when
they go over the line. Mr. Wellborn , ol
Texas , is chairman of the house committea
on Indian affairs , where an investigation
of this subject would likely go-to , and being
a thorough Texan , for Texas and her peo
ple , he would doubtless like to conduct an
inquiry of this character. He is a splendid
lawyer and full of enterprise , and
work it up.
SHADOWED BY DETECTIVES.
St. Louis dispatch : Fatheringham , the
A.dn.ins express messenger whose car was
robbed last Monday night , is still in this
ity , though he is accompanied wherever he
oes by a detective He was in close com-
uunication with the officers of the com
pany this morning and it was given out
that he was assisting them in obtaining a
lue to the identity of the robber. It is
believed , however , that he is being care-
ully examined by the detectives and the
stories told by him at different times com
pared , with a view to finding inconsisten-
lies'aiid obtaining evidence that he was an
iccessory to the robbery. The suspicion.
expressed that several employes of the
express and of the railroad company care-
tilly planned the robbery with the knowl-
dge of Fntheringham and divided the
nqney between them. It was stated at
irst that the amount stolen was slightly
excess of § 50,000 , but claims have
ilready been presented to the company
vhich swells the amount to § 81,000. The
najority of these claims have been settled
ind as soon as others are proven they will
paid.

Tito Agreement Beliceen the United States
and Spain Made Blndlmj.
Washington special : Late this afternoon
the president issued a proclamation sus
pending tho tonnage and import duties
levied on Spanish goods brought to the
United States in Spanish vessels from
Cuba , Porto Rico , or any other foreign
country. This suspension begins to-day ,
nnd ia to continue "so long as the recipro
cal exemption of vessels belonging to citi
zens of the United States and their cargoes
shall be continued in Cuba and Porto Rico ,
nnd no longer. " This proclamation was
issued the president says , after receiving
due notice of un agreement on the part o !
the Spanish government to suspend all dis
criminating duties against United States
vessels. The agreement referred by the
president between the United Stated and
Spain for the reciprocal and complete sus
pension of all discriminating duties in the
United States nnd in Cuba and in Porto
Rico was signed to day by Secretary Bay
ard and Scnor De Mnruaga , the Spanish
minister. It reads as follows :
"First It is positively understood that
from this date an absolute equalization of
toijnngf and import duties will at mice be
applied to the products of and at tides pro
ceeding fiom the United Slates or from any
foreign country in vessels owned by citizens ,
of the United States to the islands < > f Cuba t
and Porto Rico , and that no higher or

FOUR HUNDRED JIAXD SHAKES.
Washington special : When the president
entered tho cast room , shortly after 1
o'clock to-day , he was confronted by about'
400 people , who were waiting to shake *
hands with him. Tho majority of the visi
tors were delegates from the Railway Con- | J
ductors * association , which has just com
pleted its convention in Baltimore. Many
were accompanied by their wives and a ,
goodly number of children , and altogether
they were a fine looking assemblage. When
the president took his stand , ox-President
Champlnin shook him by the hand and ex- .
plained that they were the delegates and
members of the Conductors' Insurance as
sociation of the United States and Canada
on a short visit to Washington. The presi
dent replied : "Well , lam very glad to meet
the mcmbera of the old reliable , " and
the handshaking operation began and
lasted about twenty minutes. The presi
dent recognized some old railway acquain
tances and numerous heaity greetings fol
lowed. A young miss of about 12 years
handed tho president a bouquet of fragrant
flowers as she passed , which he held in his
hand during the remainder of tho recep
tion. At the end of the line was a gentle
man bearing a sliilifc ; resemblance to ox-
President Arthur , who stepped before tho
president and exclaimed : "Did you ever
pee me before ? " Tho president recognized
him at once and gave him a hearty hand-
shaking. A lady who had passed gained
courage from this , and returning , endeav
ored to call the president's attention to '
some matter , but her interview was very
unsatisfactory , for the president positively
but courteouslv declined to listen to her.
J.VTUCED TO DE LESSEPS.
New York special : At 3 o'clock this

France and the United States , were )

Daly and Peaboily. When the hand
shaking was over De Lesseps said : "I am
glad to have shaken by the hand so many
of the men who shape the commercial in-
\erestd of America. "
A Rich Young ilan.
George Gould , in his own right , I ? a rich
man. When his father bought him a seat In
the stock-exchange , five or sixcars ago , and
started him in the stock brokerage business as
a member of the firm of Wasbinglou E. Con
nor & Co. , George was given an out ami-out
present of $ 00,000. He is credited with
astuteness In speculation. He is out of the
brokerage business now , and for his service as
confidential clerk to his father be gets an al
lowance quoted in Wall street tit 520,000 a
vear. He is no spendthrift , though .to some
extent he has patronized the sporting world.
He Is a member of the New York Athletic
club. He has a fine stable of horses , of
which he is specially proud. It has been com
mon report among the leaders in Wall street
or those , at least , who may plausibly lay claim
to some share in the business secrets of Jay
Gould , that a plan was developed by Mr.
Gould last winter during the pendency of his
southern railway strike , by which he proposed
to elevate George to a prominent and inde-
; endent place in the financial or railway
world , probably as the president of one of the
big Gould corporations. The anxiety of Dr.
Norvin Green to get out of harness 'has been
thought the opening of a prospective avenue
for the millionaire's ton. Now that "the boy"
such is the father's favorite designation Is
happily wedded , the plan of last winter may
hasten to maturity.
George is now. and has been almost since
he became of voting age , a half-dozen yewa
ago , a director in manv of the great corpora
tions controlled by his father and Russell
Sage. He is a vice president in some of them.
People who Know him well and are not over
much given to toadyism , aver that he has re-
' "
marka'ble business"faculties. . His father
trusts him a jrood ways ; he did a vast deal of
the work that was done at tins end of the line
durincthe. Missouri Pacific strike troubles.
His father thought it would be a waste of the
3'oung man's tune and energv to send him
through college , but he hooki-d Liin tight to a
tutor who knew all the mxsterica of arith
metic , and George is probably one of the best
and most thorough accountants in New York.
Likewise he is a practical telegrapher ; lie
knows bo-.v to run a typewriter' fast as his
'
father cares to dictate.'and withal is some
what expert as a stenographer. It is his boast
that he could earn a living as a newspaper re
porter if be ever collided with the need of it
Just now he is not expecting to collide.

The Truth About Plain's Book.
Talking with a leading publisher who knows
the ins and outs of tbe trade he said to-day :
' Some highly-colored and wholly unreliable
statements have been currently circulated as
to the number issued of Mr. Elaine's great po
litical book . nd his profits Irom it At the
outlet 75,000 copies of the first volume were
printed to which 25,000 have been added since ,
and the larger part of tlie entire 100,000 copies
have now been disposed of. Of the second
volume only 75,000 have been printed , and no
more of the-c will be sold , at least for the
present. Why is there this difference in the
sale of the two volumes of the same work ] It
is no reflection on the character or importance
of the book , or on the popularitv of the dis
tinguished author. It is a simple matter of
fact , well known to the trade , that for various
reasons the sale of the second volume of a
subscription book never equals that of the
first volume. Whv not ? Because people die.
move away , lose all their money or enough of
it to make them feel poor , some of them are
thrown o.ut of work and can not pay , or drs-
satisfied with or without reason with the
first book , and so refuse to take the second
volume as agreed. Every one ia the business
knows this and makes calculations according
ly. Why , even in Augusta I am told , copies
of the second volume have been refused. By
the terms of Mr. Blaiue with his publishers ,
he Is paid 75 cents on each copv sold That
will pay him , when the total 175.000 are dis
posed of , 5131,250 nothing like tbe quarter of
a million that newspaper report has placed it
at , but a tidy little sum that anr author , no
matter how popular or successful , mlsjht be
proud of. It will pay for his elegant new cot
tage at Bar Harbor and leave a handsome sur
plus beside. But I have reason to believe that
Us publisher would have paid him SI. or even
51.25 a volume , if Mr. Blame had held out for '
t If he had understood publishers as well as
ie does politicians he would have been from
* 50,000 to 875,000 the richer for it to-day.
Aside from th'at , there is still money ahead
ror him in the book. It is a standard work
hat every well-equipped library must possess.
That will cive it a steady , if not large , sale for
ears to come. Then if Mr. Blain should be
lominated in 1SSS , that would give the book
another big boom , onlv second to its first enor
