Cablo-Spcciul to Tim BEn.l-Tbo Uassott-
Law election was a staggering blow to the
Oladstonlnns.'iThey scarcely expected to win ,
but to lose by a larger majority than eighty-
flvo Is a severe dlsuppolntmet. The cause
was solely liberal absence from the polls. Re
cent events have Increased tbo number of
Oladstontnns who positively refuse to vote on
anything called homo rule.
Yesterday I con versed * with a very close
friend of Gladstone , himself a leader of
Influence. Ho took a ploomy view of his
party.This Parncll business has killed us
1 fear , " ho Ruld. "Nothing can wipe out of
the nubile mind Iho fact that wo have been
holding up Parnell to admiration as a model
patriot for flvo y cars. Now wo are obliged
to call him a rascal and ho abuses us as
hypocrites and tolls all the world that our
homo rule Is a rank Imposture. How can wo
hone to get over such sr scandal. The Kng-
llsh peonlo wcro beginning to believe In homo
rule. Now they BCO that the chiefs of the
movement never had a clear understanding
of what homo rule meant or any confidence in
each other. "
"What are you goingto do ? " I asked.
"All depends on the old man , " ho said
. wearily. "I wish \vo could cut adrift from
this Infernal Irish alliance at onco. Of course
It would look bad after all the fuss we have
made , but It is better than iolng on to cer
tain shipwreck. The conservatives would
beat us all along the line If .they hud the gen
eral election now. What "fools they are no )
to strike while wo are so demoralized. As
for these Irishmen they will ruin yicmselves
nnd everybody who ROCS In with them. They
always do It. O'Brien thinks wo can pater
up the dlfllculty. Ho is dreaming. The boys
are all out on the war path and the Lord onlj
kribws where it will end. They destroyed
the llbcral.party. Every fool can see tbat. "
My friend turned into the reform clul
where other dejected spirits were sulklnj
about \vit1i no prospect of throwing over
board the damaged cargo.

Gazette exposed the horrible debaucheries ot
young girls uiul boys nt Hammond's house
ho was forced to flee to Dolgluin und thcnco
to America. Ho came to Seattle In August ,
ISS'J , and opened the HaymarUot saloon. Ho
seems always to have plenty of money and to
bo nblo to draw hush money from wealthy
Englishmen whenever ho desire * . Last
spring J. K. ToJhnntcr , who Is aunposed to
bo n Scotland Yard detccllvo , locates ! In Scat-
tic nnd cultivated Hammond's acquaintance.
In May ho tried to get Hammond Into British
territory , there being a largo reward
offered for him In England , but failed. A
steamship was altcrwanu procured nnd Hammond
mend was Invited to join Todhuntor on n trip
to Victoria , British Columbia , to cclobnito
the queen's blrthduy , but ho would not go on
British soil. In September Todhuntor en
gaged as barkeeper for Hammond and then
worked up the present cose against him. Ho
Is now on trial for stealing a valuable seal
skin sacquo nnd gold watch nnd chain from a
woman who was drinking nnd carousing with
him In the wine-room of Ills saloon. The
woman got drunk and claims to have lost her
sacquo and watch that night. Todhuntcr
a\vcirs Hammond cot them. Hammond Is
stylish and well educated nnd about thirty-
live years of ape. His wife , who assisted him
In running the Cleveland street house ,
is with him. On the witness stand Hnmmond
admitted llvingnt 1 ! ) Cleveland street , Lon
don , but refused to state hii business. Ho
said ho was in duty bound to his fellow-men
not to disclose these secrets. Ho swore Unit
big money hud been offered him to give in
formation In England exposing Kngllsh roy
alty ajul nobility , but ho will never give them
away.
The trial Is supposed to bo n , malicious
prosecution instigated by Todhuntcr , who
has been foiled in his effoiti to kidnap Hammond
mend and get him Into British territory , for
Ilnminond Is always supnlled with abundant
means and docs not need to steal.
The Winter ot * Our.Content
is the title of a recent charming paper
by that brillant writer Charles Dudley
Warner , wherein the glories of the
PacilSo coast , ns a winter resort , arc
most graphically described. The Amer
ican people are beginning to'underbtand
that the Puget Sound country is one of
our most splendid possessions nnd that
the name of the "Mediterranean of the
Pacific" is n happy title not misapplied.
In speaking ot Mount Tacomn , Senator
George P. Edmunds says :
"I would bo willing to co COO miles
again to see that sconu. The continent
is yet in ignorance of what will bo one
of the grandest show places ns well

rightly culled the playground of
Europe , I ntn satisfied that
around the base of Mount Rainier will
become a prominent place of retort , not
for America only , but for the world be
sides , with thousands of sites for build
ing purposes , that nro nowhere excelled
for the grandeur of the view that can bo
obtained from thorn , with topographical
features that would make the most per

These pictures are hung just \vlthln the eu-

Vondorbllt find presented to the Metropolitan
art museum la Now York , \\horo it now
hangs.
The Wouvermans exhibited hero have all
the mannerisms of that famous Dutch artist ;
the lights concentrated In the center of the
canvas , the tender sky effects and the old
Dutch architecture , attest this. The Wou-
vormans nro the "Falcon Hunt" anil

The VVouverman's are what Is known
ns central or radiating composition ,
[ n the center of each Is the known character
istic gray horse , with pink saddle , and in the
"Falcon Hunt" the microscopic portraiture ot
father and son excels the famed technique of
Melssonler. When viewing these pictures
a magnifying glass should ho used.
Many \Vouvermans pictures bung in the
galleries of Russia , Paris , London nnd Dres
den , wtjtro they are highly prized as ex
amples df Dutch art , and to possess a
Wouvcrman Is Inimical with the possession
of a Rombrnndt.
These pictures are the property of Louis
Schlosscr , of Washington , la. , who Inherited
thorn from groaf-Breat , grandparents. They
wcro bought from the artist , 1'hllln Wouvcr
man , iu Haarlem Holland , before his death
in IGtl and. have been in the family over

bear their authenticity on their backs.
The Brouchels came Into possession of the
family through the gift to an ancestor , by
King Maxlwillinn I. of Bavaria In 1811.
On the back of the Brcughols are the num
bers of the galleries In wnich they were
hung , and the black electoral so.il of tucking.
These pictures have been exhibited in Chicago

This Is easier tali ! than done ; and yet
it is possible by the persistent use of a
few simple exercises which brings re
laxation , and freedom from stillness , and
others which encourage flexibility and
strength of muscle. Cultivate the habit
of letting the arms fall and place them
selves us they will when standing or Bit
ting without occupation. Learn to
swing them , one tit a time , back and
forth , llko a pendulum hanging from the
bhoulder , the elbow-joint straight .and
easy , but not taut. Lift the length of
tlio arm as a weight from the shoulder
very quietly and slowly as high as it will
go , ami bring it down in the same
manner. The muscles across the back
are wakened to a wonderful degree. Try
tills movement singly , and again with
both arms , fifty or a hundred times u
day. With the arms hanging at full
length , elevate the shoulders slowly , and
turn them in a rotary motion toward the
back.
A dally practice of such simple move
ments calls one's attention to the varied
actions nnd UFO of joint and muscle ; the
idea of using the arm from the shoulder
is understood , and the habit of bringing
different sots of muscles into nlay In al
ternation nnd succession becomes second
nature , Tills is the numbering of one's
forces , and training them to do each its
own part. It is a kind of personal mas
sage , the virtue of which lies In
tlio minute search for weakness , llnbbl
ness , and lack of development in the
smallest muscle , nnd the daily gentle
manipulation whlc.li strengthens it by
action. No woman wants that closo-knft
slnowand knotty , woody fibre that many
men seek to obtain from athletics , it is
entirely opposed to the offices o [ life to
which nature calls her ; she does
want firmness with flexibility , staying
power and endurance ,

they felt that they must see a woman.
Somebody proposed a purse and a visit
to tlio emigrant's camp. Ono after an

gold dust when the last contribution was
turned in. Than , forming In line and

and carried the bag of gold dust. As
the column approached within sight of
the little camp the louder saw a flutter

only the man of the 'putllt ' , and ho gazed
