Today's WnMilngton Herald , In speaking of the leave of several months which Secre tary Manning Ims taken nnd Is enjoying at the sea shore , calls attention to the many poor women who aie dying fiom disease and overwork In the treasiny ilenattmcnt who aronot giantcd leave at all. These arc the scrub women , whoso aalmles have Just been raised from $15 to S-On month. The Herald 'ways ; " 1 know women , women just as well born and gently nurtuied as even the distill- finished secretary himself , whose only op portunity for n week of lost and frchh air is taken fiom them , Part of the cause of the secrotaiy's Illness , say his physicians , was the teirfbly utihenllhy sanitary condition of thotieasury building.

Who Is responsible for their condem nation to this slow death ? I speak for no one In particular , but for C-J5 ; women who-mo lighting their own battle with the world with their own slender hands. Let them do tholr work , but for ( Jou's sake do not con- . . dcinn them to death by slow poison just be cause some one wants to make a lecoul for ccoiiomy. This rule exists in no other de partment of the government. Let the piesi- ( lent take tlio cause ot those who seem to have no helper and make It bis own. " VAX WVCK AXI > Till : HUC1S.

Another constitutional , or statehood move ment , convention adjoin ned at Slonx Kalis , Dak. , a few days ago.

An Annrohist IMot. July -5. ( Special Telegram to the Br.n. ] Since the Cleveland meeting of tlto'geneml assembly of thoKnlgliUof Labor , there has been a peeullarmovement going on within the ranks which has attincted atten tion , but nn explanation Ims been slow in forthcoming. At once , as If by pieeoncerted action , the radical or socialls-lle element be came united , and presented a solid front evo.'ywhcie. In Pennsylvania , Now lorl : mid Massachusetts , as well as In the west , the contest for supiemacy beirau between the radical and conservative wings of the order , mid the struggle hnrc tlio same chaiactcrlstlcs In every assembly. It was evident that some powerful Influence was at work , but what It was and where llcatno Irom remained for some weeks a mystery. It was known thaltho New York so cialists wore working through an Inner circle styled the "Home Club , " but this did not explain - plain events transpiring elsewhere. Then there came conclusive pioof of n secret cabal , reaching from Denver to Man Fr.xnclsco , led byj. It. Buclinnan , of Denver , who was elected at Cleveland as a member of the gen eral executive board. With this as n trntdc , nnd by extensive correspondimcfl with west ern points , it has been ascertained thai the socialistic Inner circle Is widespread and Is immediately confined only by Ihe limits of the order. The secrecy with which It has boon able to shield its machinations Is due to the small nnd select membership , which has been picked out with the greatest of care. The number In Chicago is placad at ten. The small number in the society Is the sourceof ] influence , bO- canso they are enabled , by together secretly working , to accomplish far" more than a larger would do if their objects wore known. The chief aim of the cabal i < ? to defeat Pow- detly , wlioiepresents In a largo degree the con ervatlvoness of the Knights of Labor , and the composition of the Ulchmond a-ssoni- bly , which convenes In October , will bo a gieatald to their pUns. The basis of repre sentation Is one delegate for each 1,000 mem bers , which will hi ing together .somo GOO delegates - gates nt Richmond. In lanro assemblies , like dlslilet No. 39 , which includes all ot Ms.sta- chusctts , and district No. 4' ' ) , witli its 00,000 members In New York , the delegates will be so near Richmond It will bo an easy matter for the districts to save tne expenses of their full quota , while in the west the burden will bo too great to be borne , and but halt or one- third of the delegates the districts aie enti tled to can be sent. Owing to the laige num ber each district is permitted , it will also bo a much easier matter to hero nnd there secure a stiong antl-Powdcrly man than it has been when but one or two delegates have attended the general assembly. Speaking ol the situation yostcrdaya prom inent knight said : "The stand taken by district No. SI against the anarchists In the order seems to have been misundeistood by many members , and it is time something was s.ild In explanation. The statement , as 1 un derstood it , was not aimed at Pnroons at all , although in his usual egotistical way ho look it all to himself. Its object was , lirst , to place the order on record In unmibtukablo terms against an archism in general ; and second , to learn the realMiensth of the .anarcbibt.wJnK.au ithb order. Wo know.Jhobteiet ; 04lil&iS o'- , ciety , had located to our , own aatistactJpu--thp mobt of its membeis , and dctcinifncd to make a stand then and Ihere , and make the contest on its tiue ground and not on somO false position they might take to carry tlieir point. The state assembly virtually upheld our action. The rc.solntlons of the district meant wliat they said , and some oue is liable to get Into trouble befoic long. This Is all theio is of it and I am satisfied the older stands , lar better to-day than It did when it was being made a tool of to arou.se sympathy for the eight anarchists on trial. We aio watching night and day this aiitl-Powdcrly movement and know very iieaily what shape It Is going to take in Chicago. But what it Is 1 cannot tell you. 1 will draw the line theie. " The future of the order depends largely upon the Issue now pushing to tlm test by the radical wing and Its undcrgiound machlna- tlons , and the lesultis of vital Interest , iipt only to its bUO,000 members , but to the conn- Irv goneially , ns It decides whether the con servative policy is to bo continued or a wllj .sy.stom of stiikes and boycotts , a lair Index of which was shown in Martin Irons' career In the bouthwestern strike , Is to prevail as was the case in 1877. AN AUTONOMIO ANARCHIST. A Wlncly Reporter Finds the-Man "Who Throw thcHomh. CHICAGO , July 25. [ Spollal Telegram "tq the I5in. : | A New Yoik paper yesterday printed a sensational story about an alleged talk with one Jgnaco Swobotka.'an Austrian socialist , who , the reporter claims , Is the man who tlucw the dynamite bomb nt the Hay- market massacre in Chicago. Tie | story goes on to say that fiiday night the lepoiter met the editor of Most's paper , who said In con sideration ot profound secrecy for twenty- four hours ho would bilng the reporter face to face with the man whom States Attorney ( arlnnell would give $10.000 lo get hold of. After many Injunctions of secrecy the re porter and the socialistic editor went io a house in Uast One llnnciiccl 'mid Fifth btreet , wheio Swobotka has been Bojournlng. hwobotka's alleged talk is to the effect that ho was an autonomle anaichibt and did work on his own hook. Ho didn't affiliate much w ith the Chicago anaichlsts and made his. own bombs mid kept them In bis room. On tlm night at the Ifaymaikctho attended the meet ing ns was his custom , with a loaded revolver ver an done ol his bombs. When the police : ulived on the scene ho thought the moment for action had nnlved and hurled his bomb , expecting all the Chicago anarchists to follow wilt When ho found no more bombs cx- > plodcd hudiewhis revolver and commenced shootlnc but soon received two wounds which caused him to seek shelter and a day or two ; after ho lemoved to Now Tork for safety. lie claimed to be in communication with tlm attorneys for the oin archlsts here , who , ho said , were sure of ac quitting their clients. In conclusion , he said he would go to Europe Saturday morning , but threatened to reluln unit wreak dire von- go.inco In case luum befell Spies , Parsons or any of tlio ganjf.

Meagre fluctuations , which Jmve kept tradcis on the nn.xlotis seat , have bedn the rule. It was evidently a game of hip mul luck among the scalping horde , which earns a Heeling and precarious living on-eights and quaitors In the loud lesonndlng money changer's temple. Both bulls nnd beawof latgei callbio were at loggerheads , and whclher they would go up or down was a vexcc | question more of vex ation than that which addled Hamlet's brain. Thou It was nothing more than "to bo or not to be , " but last week In Uio stock market It was to bo m pocket or out of pocket , the per petual agitation ot the stock gambling soul , The market was also mixed up with n free distribution of deametrlcally opposite points. Uoth bulls and bears seemed to "buy 'em nnd others to sell 'em. " That common speculator who depended upon Ids gumption did not know whether he was on foot or on horseback. It was secretly whispered in his ear that bo could sell grangers for n turn or more , as the Chicago gang had skipped to the bear side , Nat Jones and Beam directing the movement. Then , with a slj wink , U was hinted that it would not do lo bo "long" of coalers. As a little leaven in this dismal cake of specula tive dough , ho was told , with much emphasis , that ho could buy Lake Shore tor all It or he was worth , and go to bed aud sleep sweetly over if. Big ciunlngs were shown on this great speculative bell-wether , and the once i emote prospects of a dividend were said to bo now not only plain ( nslitlit , butqultc close at hand , The wise , cautious and conserva tive policy ot tlio admlnistiatlon In not oven eUtcitalning the question ot dividend until the load was well again on Its ilnanclal logs , has recently Invited conlidonco nnd a good deal of buying.

" * RIDNG * The Different Styles of the Cowboys nucl the Cross-Country Men. Theodore Iloosovolt in the Century : Lost spring 1 haul to leave the cast in the midst of the hunting season to join a round-up in the caltlo country of western Dakota , and it was curious to compare Iho lolally different styles of riding of Iho cowboys nnd the cross-country men , A stock ; saddle weighs thirty or , forty pounds instead of ten or fifteen , and needs an utterly diflbrent seat from that adopted iu the east. A cowboy rides with very long stirrups , sitting forked well down between liis high pommel and cnntle , nnd depends greatly upon mere balance. In cutting out a steer from n iierd , in sitting a bneking broncho , in stopping a night stampede of many hun dred maddened animals , or in the per formance of a hundred other rcokloss and diiriiiir liorsoiiiiuiship. the cowboy is ab- soiutoly unoqiialod ; mid when ho has his own horse gear he sits on his animal with the grace of a cenlaur , and yet ho is curiously helpless tlio first time lie gets astride of one of the small eastern sad dles. Last summer , while purchasing cattle in Iowa , one of my ranch foremen had to get on an ordinary saddle lo ride out of Iown and see a. ranch of steers. IIo is perhaps llio best rider on Iho ranch , and will , without hesitation , mount ami master boasts thut i doubt if the boldest rider in omj of-our eastern hunts would care to tacWpv3j ° t > his uneasiness on the now saddW , iys fairly comical. At lirst ho did liot.Uuro to trot , nnd the last plunge of the horse bid fair lo unseat him ; nor did ho lje''iiito ' get accustomed to llio situation ujml the very end of the journey. In fiioMtlYuJWQ kinds of riding are so very dillerenl that n man only ac customed to one teelk'almost ns ill at case when ho llrtit tries tiu other as if ho had never sat on a horfto'ft'lHwk before. It is rather funny to see a man who only knows one kind , JindW conceited enough to think that IhaUw really the only kind worth knowing , wlion first lie is brought into contact with'tho ' other. Two or three times I have knuWJi men iry to follow hounds on fitotM > - sAUdlcs , which tire ndout us ill-suited ffor the purpose as they well dan be ; while it is oven more luughublo to BOO some young fellow from tno east or from England , who thinks ho knows cnlirely too much about horses to bo taunht by barbarians , attempt to do cow-work with his ordinary -riding or hunting rig. Each kind is best in its own place , and the man only no- oustomod to one will at lirst find himself a t a disadvantage whoa ho trios the other , It must bo said , however , that in all probability cowboys would Inarn to ride well across country much sooner than the average cross-country rider would master the dashing qnd peculiar style of horsemanship shown by those whoso life business il is lo guard the wan dering herds of the great western plains , A cavalry oillcer trained at West Point is , perhaps , for all-round work , not un likely to surpass as a horseman both cow boy and fox-hunter.

The most noticeable veteran among all those who passed through this city on Saturday last was not the ex-governor nor the department commander of Wis consin. On the contrary , ho was a man who had never risen to distinction in civic lifc dllisiuamo was Edward Akins , 'and ' he lives three miles from Mineral Point , in the state mentioned. IIo was of medium height , but as thin as a rail. His attenuated form was wrapped in a grey duster and his head was covered with an aged felt hat. In the front of the hat near the crown was placed a minia ture Hag. Beneath this was an extract from a newspaper , advising holiness in the Lord , and still beneath this was another suggesting temperance and piety. His hair was dark and dirty and fell in tangled masses around his cars and upon his shoulder , dwariing his small and wcaxcn features. A broad strap rested upon his ri < ; lit shoulder nnd went under his left arm. A hook was fastened to this upon his breast , and upon it liiuig a piece of cardboard , upon which was printed the cabalistic words : "Demo crats llcpont , " A scries of G. A. K. and corps bailees covered his coat front , while in his hand ho carried a book and a number of tracts. He sought seclusion , but when spoken to by Others replied without hesitation. He seemed strongly impressed with tlio fact that the demo crats had tried to steal the country in 1861 , ami that they had not yet atoned for their heinous crime. They are still .stealing , in. his is imagination , and they are the devil's children. The latest thieving act of theirs was the stealing of his farm near Mineral Point. Ho therefore feels called upon to exhort them to repentance before the vengeance of God is visited upon them. The old gentleman quotes the bible with peculiar llueney , and talus at a speed which ena bles him to say a great deal in a very shorttime.An inspection of his outfit showed the canteen and rubber blankets ho had used during the war , together \yjth \ a number of other articles which lie proposes to use on his way to Sail Fran cisco , This singular personage is about fifty years of ago , and since the killing of General McPiiorson , which look place near him , ho has been partially de mented , lie was treated kindly by everybody , though the questions pro pounded to him by the curious , would have vexed the Spinx. , A KliullionrtoclV ( ) Conductor.

Ho did not have the munificent sum -IQconts with which to pay his faro and Conductor Kinkaid refused to carry him , notwithstandingtlio fact that the man had been injured by Ids train and was in great need of ructli- on I attendance , As Kinkuid was about to eject the unfortunate Donahue from the train the indignant passengers , who were acquainted with the facts in the casepro tested unit puid Donahue's fare , besides taking up a collection Builicient to enable him to aecuro the iieccdBary medical attendance "Jf the fellow hud been killed , " said one of the passengers to n UEK reporter , "I suppose Kinknkl would have made him pay express rules to Omaha on his body or left lijiu\vJioro he wus.

Stone , " 1 enjoyed myself more at Salt Lake than at any other plaeo I visited , if Omaha people want lo take a vacation that will Uo some good , I would advise them to go to Salt Lake and bathe in the salt waters. That's what 1 did , and never enjoyed anything so much in my life. Excursion trains run down to the lake several times a day and they are all crowded. There- are numerous bathing houses , and every con venience is provided for visitors and bathers. You cannot drown in Salt lake the water is so thick with salt that it is Impossible for any one to sink. All you have to do is to keep your balance. You sit upright , as if in a chair , and you can float around all day. Wl.ile I was bath ing I saw si hundred men , at least , iloat- iugaroundinaaiUing posture and coolly smoking cigars. By the way , I met Mr. Shelby at Salt Uiko. You can rest as sured that any Omaha people who visit Salt Lake will always get a warm recep tion and kind attention from Mr. Shelby. " A Vacation on Wheels. Rev. II. B. Dean , rector of the Episco pal church at Waupun , Wis. , ana E. B. ration , a druggisl of the same place , arrived in Omaha on Saturday evening , having made the entire distance , with the cveeptionof a few miles through west ern fowa , on Columbia tricycles. The plan was atioptcd by them to employ a few weeks' vacation , and they are more tlmn pleased with the results of their trip. The distance , over 000 miles , was covered in twelve days , including stops. They will remain in Omaha a few days visiting friends , and will then return by train. They pronounce , Omaha's streets to bo the finest that have over come under their observation , for wheeling par- poses. Death of Stewart Husscll. Mr. Stewart Russell died at his resi dence on Sherman avenue on Saturday night at the advanced rgo of seventy-six years. The deceased was a native of Wishuw , Scotland , and came to America in 1650. He lived in Omaha sixteen years but was unable to take any active part in business or public life owing to his suffer ing from a paralytic btroks received about twenty years ago. He has been in very poor health for fievor.il months and passed quietly away. His family consists of two daughters , Mrs. John McDonald , mother of Deputy Marshal McDonald , and Mrs. John Frenzor , both of this city.

SENATOR JONES' VICISSITUDES. His Ups and Downs-- Ijucky Strlko in Alaska , Senator Jones , of Nevada , has at tended very conscientiously to his duties this season , says a correspondent of the Globe-Democrat , writing Irom San Fran cisco. He is a man who ten years ago was regarded as ( he equal in wealth of any of the millionaires on the coast. He 'has the faculty of rapidly acquiring wealth , which was never equaled liero except by Milton S. Latham , the banker and spocit- Jator , and he lias Latham's gift of rap idly running through a vast for tune by embarkiilg in visionary enter prises. Jones niiKlc n huge fortune iu lucky mining investments on the Comstock - stock , but lie ifi not content to draw his revenue from his mining properties. Ho branched out into a tto/.en enterprises. He sunk a million m Southern Nevada tryjng to develop a camj ) which has ro- maincd niorimind ever since. Ho imid.o a similar attempt in Inyo counijin thia state , and started lo build a railroad from Santa Monica , the seaport of Los Ange les , and was built on precisely the same plan that the 1'annma canal is being duff , Every one connected with it had a lofty scorn ot economy , and the petty narrow gauge road cost as much as though every tie had been made ot silver. Ik linally reverted to the Southern Pacilio , winch is making money out of it as an excursion route. Jones also sank a pile of money in the Palace hotel with Hal- ston , and this white elephant fell to the share of Sharon wlicn the noblesl spccu lalor California has ever seen ended his life by suicide at North lieacii. A BONANZA. IK ALASKA. It seems ns though ovcrythine that Jones touched brouglit disaster upon him and six years nso no was living on the fragments of his once princely iorUmc , regarded in much the same light as Jim Keene is looked now by the men whom he once worried in Wall street corners. lint about six vcnrs ago Jone.s invested a small amount in the Treatlwell mine in Dotigliis island near Jiineau. Alaska. Some prospectors returned from that fro/.en territory Avith stories of the great richness of niiarl/ rock on Iho island and , Ihe unparalleled sio ; of the lode. They were met with incredulity anil their story wa-j generally regarded us thn wild est e.Naicgoralion. J'hoy interested n manufacturer of mine machinery and he turnishud a small mill , while Jones and a i few others chipped in a few thousand dollars lor the outlit. It was not over a year before the mine began to pay as never a mine paid before on this const. It was bona lide mining too , as the stock was not for sale , anil there was no specu lation in Pine street on the strength of the dividends. Kvery month during tlw working season not less than $100,000 In , gold was sent down to the city , nnd ilia estimated Hint Jones' revenue from this source , once despised as u wild-cat ven ture. has not fallen below 00,000 a year for live years. bOIIKMT.S OP 3III.1.S AND StJTilO. Of course , the brilliant success of the Trcndwcll mine induced a large number of prospectors logo to Alaska , but their experience has been hard. It is up plnco for men without means , as the mines nil require money for their development , and tlio working season is so short that much is lost by enforced idleness during : thn winter months. Several hundred . prospectors , however , havugono m > there this year trom Sun Francisco , as the faro is only $10 in the slounige , Around JuniMtu n number of rieh imarU mines have been located , which only nooil cipi- ; tal lo develop llicm into line paying properties , I nave seen within llio' last lew ( lays frperimuns of ore from a mine which is two miles from Jtinemi nnd directly across the narrow channel from Douglas island , which was no full of tree gold that would make an old prospec tor's eye water with delight. 1) ) .
