Xolirnnltu Democrats Disappointed.
The absence of President Cleveland from
Washington will , It is believed , delay the
nomination of now land onicers for Nebraska
another month. It wus the program to huvo
the president nominate'olllccrs for Lincoln ,
McCook and two or three other oftlces next
week. The president may bo away a month
yet. It Is believed that the president Is
almost seriously 111 and it is known thut
when he loft hero ho told cabinet oflicers
that ho woulel not return till ho had re
covered from his Indisposition. Aspiring
Nebraska democrats may as well make up
their mlmls to wait a few weeks for their
rewards.

Bre'cfiinrldgo of Kentucky , by Madeline V.
Pollard" , Tlio plaintiff charges that In April ,
1884when she was 17 years old , and a
i' Wesluyan Female seminary
at..Cincinrmtl , she wns met on the train
while traveling from school to Frankfort ,
Kyrwhorc she had been called on account
of Jtho illness of her sister , by William ( J. P.
Br'eckinrldge , who made her acquaintance
on the plea of his knowing her family , und
thut she was fluttered by his attentions ,
knowing who he was und regarding him as
a very prominent man. und thut on the ! 3d
day of August , 1884 , he came to sco her at
the seminary and got permission of the
president for her to dine with him , nnd by
wiles und artifices and protestations of af
fection subsequently took advantage of her
youth und Inexperience. She avers that he
, fOt her completely under his control.
Allegations Filed.
The allegations Hied go nt great icngtli
into the relations which existed between the
plaintiff nnd Mr. Brcckinridgo , us she
charged , until recently. Iho birth of the
two children ( who died ) and the premature
birth of a third child uro alleged .is u result
of this intimacy.
She further alleges thut after the death ol
the children she came to Washington , am !
that after the death of his wife she was
again In u delicate situation , nnd with pro
testatlons of love und affection ho inducci
her to continue their relations and promisee
to marry her ns soon us It would bo propel
for him to do so , in n sufficient time after tin
elcath of his wife. It is alleged that hi
solemnly promised that there should bo i
secret marriage on theItlst day of May
IS'Jl , and that the marriage should taki
place in the city of Now York , but ufte
that , on the plea of her , condition , the thm
appointed for the marriage wus postpone !
until the following December or January
From time to time , she alleges , the date o

10th of July , she avers , Mr. Brecklnrldg
wrongfully nnd Injuriously murrled nnothe
woina'n , Mrs. Louisa Wing , who wus then
resident of the city of St. Louis.
thn Cuse.
The plaintiff In the case was for some tlm
nn employe In ono of the departments here
but shortly after the death of General Slier
man , wus dismissed , it was said , for the limb
Ing of a derogatory remark respecting th
dead general. The announcement of her on
gagcinont to Mr. Brcckinridgo und thosubsc
( incut breaking off of thoengageinent and Mi
Brecklnrldge's marriage has created u scnsii
tlon in the capital.

WASIIIXOTOX , Aug , 12 , [ Special to THE
BEK. ] Men in congress bemoan their mis
fortune in having to como to this hot place
in the dog days nnd do legislative work.
Some of them xyoro called hither from the
cool mountain resorts of Now England or
the rivers of the north , while others were
found basking In the breezes of the sea
shore when President Cleveland's message
commanded them to attend their posts of
sworn duty.
Washington Is a comfortable spot in the
winter , but It Is a bakcovcn during July ,
August , and most of Scptcmucr. The scores
of miles of asphalted streets absorb the pour
ing southern sun , nnd at times they grow so
hot ns to run llko pitch. It Is something like
walking on an oven to promenade Pennsyl
vania avenue these' days. It Is true the
Potomac Is at hand , und. ns Iho crow flics ,
wo have the Chesapeake , say within twenty
miles , nnd the ocean adjoining ; but the
breezes do not percolate this place after
wafting oft the ocean , They are caught up
In the poach orchards of Murylnnd's pen
insula nnd made so everlasting warm us to
bo most uncomfortable hero. But there Is
air at night and generally the weary states
man or politician can got a comfortable
sleet ) . With sleep , you know , tv man can
live most anywhere , for that Is the great
restorer after all ; it gives the strength , not
the food wo cat.
lluril Tunes Not the Portion ot All.
Not every man In congress has n hard
time. Not all of the 440 hvo In squalor nnd
work from early elawn till midnight. It Is
true that there urn some IKDOI- devils who
have none of this world's goods und large
families or debts at home , und they try to
pull themselves out nt the end of each your
with n few hundred dollars ahead for rainy
days , but a majority live in elegance and
have much better times than well-to-do men
nt the places they call "homo , " when they
run for re-election.
As I passed the palatial residence nt the
corner of K and Sixteenth streets tuts morn
ing nnd looked at the comforts of so'ne of
our statesmen , I thought of ease und luxury
Instead of the "squalor" mentioned in cam
paigns. There is the especial abode of Sen
ator Halo of Maine. The senator lives in
the bran new white stone residence owned
by his wife or mother-ln-luw , either of which
is the same ns his own. It is nn immense
structure , larger and far grander than the
white house , and is worth over f. " > 00,000 , I
presume , the way real estate sells here.
There uro beautiful drives , u burn und walks
on ground worth $10 a square foot. Its fur
nishings uro oriental in elegance.
Just down 1C street a block is the immense
nnd beautiful homo of the late Senator Stan-
font of California. It is u part of a residence
extending from street to street nnd built of
stone. Any one would consider it a fortune
if he owned it.
"Stewart Cuatlc. "
"Stewart Castle" Is but three blocks dis
tant from the two palaces mentioned. It is
the residence of Senutor Stewart , the Ne-
vudu silver mun. For yeurs it has been the
legation headquarters of the Chinese diplo
mats , nnd commanded an annual 'rental of
about J10.000. It Is u great , dark brick und
stone structure , just across on the corner
from the handsomest und most valuable resi
dence in the nation's capital , owned by Mr.
Loiter , the retired Chicugo merchant.
Senator Stewart is a millionaire in
silver mines , niortguges und reul estate here.
Speaking of the Loiter mansion I um re
minded of u bit of gossip In real estate cir
cles. Mr. Leitor has lived in Paris many
years und has come to the conclusion that
ho and his family would like to become
Purisianlzed. as bus James Gordon Bennett ,
who , after inheriting n fortune from his
father in Nnw York und making another
one with his great newspapers , went to
Purls n tlccudo ago und has become a citizen
there , establishing an Americanized news
paper which publishes for the English-
speaking readers of Europe nil the news of
ttio United States , inclined to bring our
country and people Into ridicule and drac
down our securities and respectubility. It
is not likely , however , that should Mr.
Loiter go to Purls to live ho will follow the
example of Mr. Bennett and do so much to
injure American Interests.
I.clter'K Pine Konldenco for bule.
"Well , as I was about to say , Mr. Loiter ,
just us ho has completed his great und mag-
nillccnt residence here , which he intended
to make his homo , has concluded to live in
Paris , and so wants to sell his house to the
federal government for u white house or
residence for the president. There has
been a great deal of agitation for years in
the direction of purchasing a residence for
the family of the president , und it would not
bo strange if the Loiter residence , which hns
not yet been occupied by nnyone , und which
is admirably located and designed for the
purpose , IB purchased ns a presidential mail'
slon. It has spacious grounds , occupying ns
it docs , a whole "llatiron" square , is built ol
white stone and marble , Is larger than anj
other residence In Washington , is In the
most fashionable quarter , and any president
would bo tickled to have it us his ofllciu
family abode.
Just across Massachusetts avenue froir
Senator Stewart's house Is the bcautifu
residence of the late Mr. Blaine a house
ho built with a view to occupying when he
wns elected president.
Down Massachusetts avenue a short dls
tan co is thn beautiful residence of ex-Sena
tor Van Wyck of Nebraska , now occupied bj
Chief Justice Fuller. A llttlo further on Is
the large and handsome residence of Senatoi
Proctor , the millionaire gentleman fron
Vermont , who has tnudo his fortune It
granite. Senator Manderson lives on i
lashlonablo corner within u short distance
of Senutor Proctor. Then there Is In tin
sumo neighborhood Colonel Tom Buyno o
Allegheny City , Pu. , who hus served mnnj
years In congress nnd is tukug things eusj
with u splendid competence.
Senutor Cameron of Pennsylvania is overhauling
hauling his magnificent residence overlook
Ing the square in front of the whlto house
It Is another senatorial palace. Around tin
street a short way is the Corcoran house , oc
cupied by Senator Brice of Ohio , It is stil
another veritable palace. And Senator Quaj
of Pennsylvania.hus bought a lot and wil *
build a $100,000 dollar residence , so as to b
u llttlo morecomfortable. .
In I'rlncely Stylo.
At the corner of 1C and Fifteenth street
Representative Hltt of Illinois owns a larg
nnd handsome Washington residence will
spacious grounds. He lives princely , Acres
the street Representative Tom Johnson
Ohio lives in true Oriental style.
Thcro are a hundred men in conercss wh
have Washington homes .of their own , an
many of them live extravagantly. The
would not suffer much In tiny kind o
weather , und the work they have to do 1
o not onerous. But there are others lu tli
other class of congressmen who really suffu
from the services they are called upon t
perform. They live In cheap boardin
houses , have to do their own clerical wor
and are either rustling through th
eixe'cutivo departments , in the con
inltteo room at the capita ) , or at thel
lodging house desks from early niorniu
until late at night. They are hard worker :
nnd are trying to economize. But these ur
the men who work at homo. They uro th
ordinary luwyers or merchants or fnrnien
They must work for their livelihood whui
ever they are , and so It is not un extraord
nnry hardship for them to be hero In this ei
trnordlnury session of congress , unless it i
from the extra expense they must- carry i
Loird bills , etc. These men could liv
cheaper at home , though they may 11\
cheaply. The men who complain most o ,
account of the extra session of congress an
however , the rich fellows , who nre chariu

JACKSON , Ala. , Aug. ' It. The counties ot
Clark , Cherokee , Wilcok und Marengo nre
greu'tly excited ovei ? the murderous doings
of the notorious Meutiliuiuites nnd between
400 and 600 heavily armed men nro nt
Meachambeil for tho.ayowod purpose of wip
ing out every member of the.gang.
From a resident of'Jackson , , who is well
acquainted withtrio/operations / of the gang ,
this story wa > had1 , ' " 'The Mpachnmltcs
' '
number betwce'n thirty-Jive and 'fifty men
and the point of operation is .Moachumbcl ,
six miloB from 'CoiTeyvillo und seventeen
miles from Thorapspuvillo. Five years ago
when' the settlement was founded , these
men plied their vocation as farmers. The
ex > unty is prohibition , but one day last year
a sign wus displayed in the vilhi-fo that
whisky could bo obtained on certain nights
each week by applying at a certain store.
Custcnners were plentiful. When they en
tered the store they were met by masked
men , who dealt them out whisky in such
quantities ns desired.
This violation of the law led to crimes
being committed. The best. citizens ex
pressed themselves freely and several were
threatened with death if they took any
action , Finally John lluro had his burn und
house burned und on going into the
yiird to light the Humes IIP was
shot at. Joseph Anderson was
another victim. Ho was shot down while
walking through his Held und died instantly.
His assassin WUB never arrested , although
it wus well known who committed the deed.
A few months lntqr a thrifty old man was
killed while at work in his mill. At this
time the colony was widening and taking In
more men. Many joined the gang through
four , to protect themselves. In December
lust Ernest McCorquodale's death followed.
This assassination occurred on Christmas
night in the presence of the victim's
family , worked up the entire community ,
and his assnssin was finally located. Ho was
u man named James , the leader of the
Mouchamltcs. The posse captured James
near CofTcyvillo. He wus shot to death.
About u month ago a inuti named Willis
House was shot down while nt work In the
field near Coffeyvillo for an alleged us-
sault on a while woman. Two weeks
later Sain House , a brother of Willis , was
killed in like manner. Subsequent develop
ments showed thcro wns no attempt to out
rage the woman , und the affair trus u ruse
to get n chance to dispose of the House
brothers , who were enemies of the gang. A
posse has been searching for the gang for
two duys. Tooch Bedsoo , ono of the Moueh-
umito gang , wus captured tonight after a
hard chase. Ho confessed that the gang
committed all the crimes with which they
were charged.
The possu riddled fledsoo with bullets ,
ICirK Jumes was located an hour later and
shot to death. Other members of the gang
are located In the swuir.ps and the posse
proposes to kill them nil by tomorrow night ,
Ono man named Norrls , who was taken
today , was In so pltlablo a condition that
the posse turned htm over to the sheriff In
stead of shootlne him.

Dr. Cyrus ICdson , health commissioner of
the city of Now York , will nay In tlio forth
coming issue of the American Druggist and
Pharmaceutical Hoeord : It is to bo re
gretted that some of the newspapers resort
to sensational headlines nnd thus unneces
sarily alarm the public In connection with
contagious or infectious diseases. While
much good is accomplished through leading
the public to observe the laws of sanitation
in their own persons , thcro is also much harm
done through unreasoning fear and nervous
dread which is caused by these sensational
methods. The nicro fact that the Kara-
manl. % was detained at quaranltno should
not bo n source of great alarm , for novcr In
the history of this country has its sanitary
condition been so good.
Cholera has hcen generally prevalent In
the Interior of Knssm and lu Asm ever since
last year and has been known to bo cpldcmlo
In the south of Franco since March of this
year. Its existence In Naples has recently
come to life , though It has not yet become
epidemic there. The north of Europe has
been free of cholera since April , when some
cases occurred in Laurlont , onu of the
northern provinces of France. I have said
that the sanitary condition of the United
States In general Is excellent , and this Is
more especially true of the largo cities.
Since the great sourer ) of infection Is the
water used for drinking It Is around
this that the most stringent safe
guards should bo thrown. This has been
tally recognized in the larger cities and ,
thanks to the energetic work of the various
Boards of Health , there Is little or no cause
to fear as to Impure drinking water. So-
journcrs at summer resorts , however , Hhould
exorcise particular caution , as the water
used at these temporary places of residence
Is frequently contaminated , not at present
with cholera germs , hut with other germs of
diseases which may weaken the system o
as to afford a lodging place for cholera germs
should these be Introduced later. That the
health authorities of this city are able to
combat the disease , oven should it reach
this country , : i contingency which I scarcely
class among the possibilities , was amply
demonstrated in the way that the few cases
were handled which appeared hero last
year , and further It may be said that the
sanitary condition of this city now is better
than It was then. There are Just three
points to bear in mind :
First That cholera can only bo taken into
the body by means of food or drink.
Second That oven if taken into a healthy
stomuch cholera germs are harmless , as the
acid gastric julco at once kills and digests
them.
Third That they are certainly killed
when submitted to the boiling temperature.
Bearing Uiesc facts in mind every person
may face the problem , "If the cholera
comes , " with equanimity , feeling assured of
his ability to cr.ro for himself.
CHILDREN'S LULLABIES.
A rhllosnplicr nUconrnim an tlio Degen
eracy of Hone.
"Tlio doRcnorucy of tlio present ago , "
said Mr. Groutheiid softly , "is , to my
mind , no hotter exomiililled than in tlio
songs sung to the children. Now , when
I was a youngster , such melodies iw
'Groenvillo , ' 'Como Where the Lilies
Bloom , ' Wo Will Gather'by the River'
and 'Hush-a-by Uaby in the Trcetop'
wore considered ; to bo the proper lulla
bies. You can imagine my surprise , my
dear , when , in the course of a little out
ing , I heard some of the songs which
are used nowadays to superinduce a
feeling of sleopftilness in the yodng.
I was walking in ono of the parks
when I heard a young mother
crooning to her infant child. The
strains seetncd strangely at variance
witli the low , sweet and dreamlike notes
of the conventional lullaby , nnd I drew
nearer. Sir , you have never had occa
sion before to question my veracity , and
I trust in this case that 1 shall not over
tax your powers of belief.
"As I am standing here , sir , that
young woman with a brow of a Ma
donna and u complexion that would
have hold the admiration of a Titian ,
was singing to that child a tropical
song from a trilling burlesque which
has been running for the last two years.
It was a maudlin song of the Bowory.
"Then the young woman sang of a
diminutive person named William , who
had been so deeply steeped in vice that
lie was in it every minute. To cap the
climax the last strains which greeted
my ears as 1 hurried from the scene
were the notes of n weird song made
popular in this country by an English
concert hall singer. It is no wonder ,
sir , that tlio younger generation is so
prematurely old when at an early
period their brain fibres are infiltrated
by the vicious tendencies of a degener
ate . "

Iccoratcd the cottage of tlio luboror and the
( retentions business block. It waved from
arches of triumph that tpanncd Eighteenth
street uml It lluttcrod from the tops of
church spired , exalted but llttlo below the
cross. In the strccti , In marching columns ,
were thousands of Czech men , and other
thousands of men , women and children stood
n admiring thrones on the sldcwallcs and
watched the procession go by.
Noisy bands played "Kilo Domov MuJ,1

liouio front here in letters of red unit whlto
the legends "Ma zdar,1' Vltumo vai" and
"Vitctjo nam , " the most expressive forms
of salutation known to the. Bohemian tongue.
It wus Bohemian day at the World's fair
anc the thousands that congregated In the
vicinity of IClghtecnth street and Ashland
avenue at 8 o'clock , where Bohemians ot
Chicago who had accepted the invitation ta
make ttiolr country's day nt the exposition
memorable.
Nulnndld Turnout.
The hour for the pnrado to start was 8
o'clock , anil t > y thut time most of the organi
zations were at the rondezcous , which was
the streets of ! ICIghteenth street nnd cast of
Ashland nvc'.nio. The procession was a
splendid turnout. Fully 10,000 men were In
line. All the Bohemian societies were rep
resented. The turner organizations were
out in force , and several hundred young ;
women and girls In tumor costume marched
with their brothers , giving color ana beucty
to the parading column.
Many allegorical lloats represented events
in C/.eeh history and scenes iff Bohemian1
life. There was a limiting scene and a wed
ding and u harvest Held. On one float was
pyramid on the apex of which hunr a chain
and shackles of Iron. On the sides of the
pyramid were inscriptions telling how Bo-
hernia had Ilrst given to the world constitu
tional government ; hud founded the second
university In the world ; had destroyed mili
tarism in the stuta ; had invented the ship1
screw , and now the reward of Bohemia for
all this Is , in the nineteenth century , chains
and shackles.
This lloat was loudly cheered by the
Czechs , who long for the day when Bohemia
will bo a Independent nation of alliance with
Austria. The procession moved promptly ftp
8 o'clock. It required almost two hours to
pass u given point.
( ilvou the City's Freedom.
Arriving at the World's fair ground about
noon the Bohemians were met on the casino
pier by representatives of the Exposition
company , who tendered them the freedom of
Whlto City. The visitors then leisurely
crossed Jackson park and assembled at
Festival hall , where the celebration was
continued. An address was made by Lieu
tenant Governor Jonas of Wisconsin. After
the Bohemians had been welcomed to the
fair , other speeches were made by promi
nent members of societies represented , UUt
the feature of the day was the BohemUli
concert under the direction of Antonlu
Dvorak. Only works of Bohemian masters
were rendered. The great composers , whoso
muslo was played by the Exposition orclioa-
tra , were Dvorak , Smotanu , Hlavnc , Bond ! .
Napravnlk and Fiblcli. All are well known
in the old world , but the people of the United
States have thus far heard and seen only
Hlavac and Dvorak.
To secure the attendance , .of Dr. Dvorak
tlio ofticers of the Bohemian-American
World's fair bureau had to obtain the con
sent of the conservatory as well as that of
the composer. At ! ! o'clock the visitors as
