SAHA.TOOA , N. Y. , Sept. 23. A situation
more strange than any that 1ms yet con
fronted the democratic parly nnd the like of
which has never been seen by any of the
assembled party leaders , Is presented here
tonight , within thirty-six : hours of the time
set for the nomination of n candidate for
Governor of the state of New York. No
selection ot a candidate lias been made , and
while ono name has been prominently men
tioned hero tonight , no on can be said to
have anything like n mortgage on the nomi
nation. So far there an four candidates
mentioned : Judge Gaynor' Ilrooklyn , John
loyd Timelier of Albany. Frederick F. Cook
of llochcster nnd Senator David II , Hill ,
lanlel S. Lockwcod of Buffalo was mcn-
lonecl. but It Is said by those who know
odiy that he Is practically out of the rac ?
and that Mr. Sheehan's support , which may
laminate Krle , will be thiown toward
Jook. Every effort will bo made , however ,
D Induce Mr. Cook to accept the second
ilace upon the ticket In cnss cither Judge
Vaynor or Seuator Hill Is a nominee. As to
Jr. Hill as a candidate , Lieutenant Governor
Sheehan said toduy :
"I conversed with Senator Hill on the
natter Saturday afternoon befors leaving Al
bany for Saratoga. He not only said he
vould not bo n candidate , but Insisted I
should not broach the subject to him any
nore airl hoped no further mention of It
vould be made. Nevertheless , Tammany at
ts meeting tomorrow will send a committee
o wait upon the senator and try to prevail
upon him to be n candidate.
For lieutenant governor there are three
lames mentioned : Frederick Cook ot
lochestcr , John J. Llndon of Ulsltr county
and Jacob U. Cantor of New York , with the
chances seemingly largely In favor of the
second named.
Tor Judge of the court of appeals only
one candidate Is mentioned tonight , Judge
'Itus. of Erl ( , although there ,1s a rumor
hat the name of Judge B. Parker will be
presented by his friends ,

OTTUMWA , la. , Sept. 23 , Senator Allison
opened the republican campaign at this place
yesterday. There was a large audience
out to hear htm. He reviewed the rapid
and unprecedented increase' In "the wealth
and manufacturing of the country under
the policy of protection after the waste of
the war , and the prosperity which reigned
when the present administration came Into
power. He then pictured the paralysis
that seized tmon the business and Industries
Jt the country when It became known that
the democracy was to have control
3f all branches of the government.
Moneyed men became suspicious nnd
refused to give the accommodations
that are necessary for the conduct ol
business. Manufacturers became doubtful
of the future , the stability yf prices and the
market for their goods. Plants were shut
down , nnd as a result there has been an
amount of unemployed labor In the country
hitherto unprecedented In Its hlstoiy. '
He devoted considerable tlma to the Wil
son bill and to the measure as It was linally
enacted Into law , Of the many Inequalities
and discriminations ot the bill ho mentioned
a few : .
Wool , an Importa'nt agricultural pro'duc-
tlon , of twenty-one states , was placed dn the
'roe list.
Rice and the agricultural productions of a
few southern states were given u protection
of SO per cent.
Tobacco , largely produced In the south ,
was left practically unchanged , although Its
manufacture In various forms is honey
combed with trusts and agreements to main
tain prices.
The great industries ot the country , such
ns Iron and steel , cotton fabrics , except
those made in the south , were placed at a
rate of duty to encourage the largest Im
portations from abroad and the smallest
production ? .t home.
Many of the woolen manufacture wire so
reduced as to close their mills , wlilUt manu
facturers of boots and shoes , of Ie.Ulit.-r , anil
of paper In all Its forms , remain r > rartjrally
ns provided for In the act of ISSOvtu ! suffi
cient protection to cnablo the producers h-rc
to hold the market.
The duty on pearl buttons \\AS high in the
McKInley till , hoping to iivlucc the n-anu-
facture here , or rather to restore it. This wns
Especially denounced everywhere in the cam
paign of 1S92 , and jet the duty on pearl
buttons , aa It came frcm the house nnd ns
It passed the senate , gave 81) ) per cent pro
tection to the producers hero , .ml was so
phrased , aa I am told , to actually Ir.oreas ;
the price.
The duty on llcorlca In alt its manufacture
was 514 cents a pound under the law of ] SDO.
a high duty , and was reduced to 5 cents a
pound by the Wilson bill. The fact that this
manufacture Is wholly controlled by demo
crats in Connecticut , ot course , had no Influence
enceIn preserving this 'highly protective
duty.
Soda-ash , produced In Syracuse by the
largest single combination In the United
States , retained the duty of 14 cent per
pound , as provided for In the act of 18)0. ! )
This manufacture Is largely controlled by a
syndicate of democrat ! ) in th ; United States ,
and Kngllsh capitalists.
Lead ore was placed at 15 per cent , ad
valorem , while ample protection was given
to the products of lead controlled by what
Is called the "Lead trust. "
Cotton ties wer. placed upon the free list ,
although the Iron cr steel from which they
are made was made dutiable at 25 per cent
ad valorem In thri house and Increased ta 3 (
per cent In the B nate.
Duties were reduced all along the line or

making an aggregate reduction of more thai

The revenue from laces , cmbrolil'rles , silks

Novel IPcnturrB of the 1'rnjrrtril Ktornted
SjnU'iii r HoHton ,
What ts known as the Melgs elevated rail
road system , which has been exploited in
Huston for seventeen years , has ticcurtd the
necessary legislative sanction and the work
ot construction Is commenced. The unique
feature of the road Is that only one rail or
girder will be used. According to the In
ventor , J. V. Melgs , the posts will rise about
forty-six feet apart along the curbing , These
will be smiarp , having1 but eighteen Inches
to obstruct light on the four sides. There
will bo fourteen feet In the clear below
where the fciipoortin wheels strike the track
at nn angle nr 15 degrees.
Forty-two Indus above this balance-
wheels , forty-two Inches In diameter , will
run along the side oi the rail , but at right
angles to its upper surface.
As can be Imagined , this will give the
appearance of a V when the train Is coming
along , but after it lias passed nn upright
post , with two "shoulders" near the top.
simply the width of mi ordinary track will
remain.
Light girders will extend across from the
posts. These , he explained , would not be as
largo as shown In the cut nnd would not
exclude the sun to any perceptible degree.
At the same lime these girders would per
mit of four trains being run by supplement
ing two extra tracks.
So much for the superstructure. Now for
the train that Is to be run over It. This , as
planned. Is to consist of an engine twenty-
nine feet In length , a tender twenty-five feet
In length , and t\x \ cars , slxty-sU feet long ,
each of which will b < ! capable of seating 101
persons.
The rntlrc train Is designed to be cylin
drical in shape. In explaining this Captain
Melga paid to the lloston Globe man :
"In the first place , there Is n big saving
In light for properly owners along the line.
You can see how the rays will strike , past
the sides of the cars and go directly to
stores and offices underneath.
"Then tlrro Is the saving In material
and consequent cost of building. Again there
Is a saving of 50 per cent of the pressure on
the track with the wind against the side of
the car. „ i
"At the same. Um * , " said Captain Melgs ,
"wo can getian , Inside measurement of nine
fe > t four Inches i Ui height by ten feet four
Inches In ulillji , " Wh-n the big rounding
platforms Iliawllj permit the entire car to
bo emptied in , w nty-flve seconds are taken
Into consideration , , the benefits ot cylindrical
cars will bj appreflated. "
Beside the r Rujar windows there will be
a line of "skylights" wltb curtains to keep
out the sun. . 'These will furnish Unlit to the
'
csnler row of scats' that will have n serpent
ine line of backs , 'or ' In other words , will be
arranged on ( he tite-a-tete ? plan. The other
seats will bo run "the " length of the cars In
stead of crosswise. '
In speaking1 of 'tho power to run Ills trains (
Captain Mclgs'sald-
"Boston people want rapid ' 'tfjnslf , not ex
periments. Thi trains can be run by com
pound nlr or bV electricity , but on my road
"ttiey w'ill' ' bo FunMty strain. My , locomotives
l'nr all ericaB < m'ln"tJtrE ' and tKere wlll be lit- !
lie nolsu-nnd rifl fltiit ordirt. . "
"The Melgs engine will bavo n grate sur
face that will permit : Its liaiillng a tialn of
six cars ; at a rale of twenty" miles an hour
with two and ono stops to the mile , and
will be practically noiseless. At this we are
figuring on twenty second stops , anil with a
system ot loops from the center of the c'ty
wo can give the wage earners , who repre
sent SI per cent of the p ople. suburban
homes within twenty minutes of their places
ot business. "
In brief , the Melgs plan contemplates cars
ot the same shape ns the "Innk" cars that
nr i familiar to every ono who rides on the

PRESERVED HI3 DIGNITY.

from : i Uoltlnir.
A well dressed and very dignified gentle
man boarded a cross-town car a few days
ago , s.ys the Now Yurie Herald , Jutt asthe
first drcps of 'What ' pr vcd to be a very hard
rain storm began to fall. He was accom
panied by his wife , his son , who was , per
haps , a dozen years old , and Ills Ilttl :
daughter. They had no umbrella and had
evidently taken the car simply to get out
ot the rain.
Ho handed the conductor 15 cents , and
after three fares had been duly "rung up , "
the conductor asked how chl the girl was.
The dignified , j.assengcr grew Indignant.
"Maybe she's C and maybe she's 5 , " he
answered , "but that Is wholly my business ,
s r , and nne of yoiir. < /
"She Is more than 4' , Isn't she ? " Um con
ductor asked.
"Well , what It Hhe Is ? Yon have no
business to oak Impertinent questions about
her , " exclaimed the angry man.
"But , " tha conductor pjrsUtcd , "she lacks
moro than 4 years old , and EO I want an
other fare , please. "
"What ! " exclaimed the pjssenger , "you
want mo to pay 5 cenin ftr that little glrlV
I will not do It. I wmild rather not pat

s st en asking faru fr such a child I will
leave the car. "
"All 'right , " wan th conductor's amwer ,

as ho pulled the hfll nnd the cr xtopped.

The dignified gentleman and his family
hurried out of the car Intu the pouring rain ,
and after standing , ou.,4hu ldvwulk , kng
enough to get thoroughly wet through they

Paul Jones , known afl the "globe trotter. "
arrived In this city Saturday nn hla trip
nround the world on a wager of $5,000. He
Is stopping at the Poxton and will bo In
the city for a few days. This Is one ot the
most unique trips for fame and coin that has
probably been undertaken by umbltloits per
sons. t
Jones Is a tall , good looking young man
about 30 years old. lie Is a graduate from
Harvard college and for the past four or five
years has been Jngugsd In newspaper work
In Boston. He Is a member of the Hub Press
club and that Is where the wngcr was made
which Is sending him on this journey.
Junes Is an assumed name , his real cogno
men being Pfelffcr , and he Is a native born
American who believes that almost anything
can be accomplished by push and persevitf-
cnce. He never hesitated to express himself
In forcible terms on this subject when he
hud an opportunity , and this was the direct
cause ot the wager. The stipulations were
that he was lo fcturt from the Press club
fooms without a cent or a stitch of clothing
and make a trip around the world In ono year
apd earn $5,000. Hu Is not to beg , borrow or
steal any of this money. The first wager
has been followed by others until It Is alleged
that HUTU U $ i > 0,000 up on the result.
On Fcbruiry 12 of this year the start was
made , und JuntM stood In one of the loums of
the Hoston Press club shivering an. ! clad In
a costume that would have been the envy of
a South Sea Islander. A blizzard was rag-
Iny on that ilMc and he was at his wits
end , vvlillo thopc who had made thewnger
with him were enjoying an extra bottle , bi > -
ll-evlng flint they hnd already won their bet.
Ho posted a not cc on the door of the
room Mating that tin would exhibit himself
to the members of the club for the sum of
1 cent. In this manner he earned his Ilrst
20 cents , and with It hired a man to pur
chase a newspaper and a paper of plus.
With these unifies he made a paper bull ,
tnd the curiosity rf the members of the
club caused them to again pay a price to
see him in hla new mil. Afterwards he
made hlniM-lf n suit out of a horse blanket ,
nnd fold this to u. Hosto" merchant , and
iurch.c < 1 a suit of clothes with the pro
ceeds. Then he was ready to rlnrt. He
'obtained cmplojuicnl blacking boots , sweep
ing cut and In various ways managed to get
enough money to buy a bicycle on which
he travels it great deal. JDIICH came to
Omaha from Milwaukee , and says that sn
far ho has carne.l nearly $3,00(1. ( He expects
to win I he wager mil will leave this coun
try. taking a tioamsh p from San Francisco

he will endcavoi jld to his fln.iiicl.il nc-
cctint by clerking In a well known depart
ment store and oli.i > r Uc.
In speaking nbciit lie .success of his trip
Jones said :
"This Is the one thing which my trlj * Is

forget Ills prejudices and do his best uiulei
all circumstances , he call get along in an >
part of the world.
"I liayp talki-d with men nnd women who

have experienced in life which have , with

"Human nature will Always be human na

thing more than a Aiuooth string of words.
' "Mixing with men and women of every
station In life all over this country I have
acquired a profound respect for two charac
teristic trails : Tenacity In a man anrt fidelity
In a woman.
"There Is. however , a blind tenacity which
never lets go tvcn II In the wrong : and tin-re
Is a weak tenarlty which gives tip although
absolutely right.
"So , too , there Is a false fidelity which In
jures that lo whlc-h It l.s faithful ; and there
Is a worse than dead fidelity which never re-
veaU its plrPiiRtli.
"Hut whatever the characteristics rf a jnnn

become Infused with the active properties
of the gas Itself. It Is contended that as

well be dane In the earth us In the stove

Within sight of the famous old Chester
mills In I'pland ' township , and facing the
mill race , thprc stands today , nnd has stood
for more than 200 jears , the quaintest , iiueer-
cst little building In ull Pennsylvania , says
the Philadelphia Item. It Is a building thnt
links the past with the present ami about
which cluster incmorlis and legends of men
nnd women whey names nre 'Indlssolubly
connected with the history ot the slate.
There William Petm. the ItelUrs , Wlior-
loys , Quaies. Townt-rnils , lllcklcys , Puseys
und u dor.cn other Mndrcd i-plrlls would
gather to discuss the affairs of the- early Eel-
tiers and framp laws for the government of
themselves and Quaker brethren.
Finm Incal traditions It Is learned that the
place was built by Caleb Piwcy tu 1CS3 , Just
ut > out A j-car after IMP establlMnnf rit of the
Chester mills , of which I'usoy was the man
ager , and the site was cliiisen as much for
cmivonicnce as foi its natural beauties ,
though the latter were by nu nifatis lack"-
ini' .
Tlie housp was originally one and a half
stories In height , and had only Uvu looms ,
ono on the ground lloor , the second being the
attic or loft , eiilranrc to the latter being by
means of a crudely made ladder.
The wlrdows on thp giotiinl lloor were
primitive in style with old fashioned diamond
panes , while thoj < e In the attle were more
like doors than windows.
The root was the old "Dutch , " and was of
tiles and shingles , while the liou.se Itself w.u
of brick brought over from Kngland for that
express purpose , and the walls are of un
usual thlckmss.
Today and for the past twenty-two years
it lias been occupied by John Jordan , a col
ored coachman , nnd his family , and many u
party ot visitors have they shown over the
building , telling the legends and qu.ilnt lore
of people long since dtad and forgotten.

A man from the Interior of Indiana was
In New York not long ago and , meeting a
friend there , proposed ta blow him oft to a
good "dinner , says the Detroit Free Press.
He didn't know just where to go , and by
Rome chance ho stumbled into a swell cafe ,
where prices cKmb higher than the thermome
ter on the holiest claj. The Indlanaiati never
thought of that , though , and h.nl a dinner
that was really tine , having left It to the
wallers' lasto and discretion. When the bill
was presented It WHS for SIT.U. ; .
"What do you mean by this ? " he ex
claimed as IIP looked It over.
"Thai's the bill , sir , " replied the waiter re
spectfully.
"Hxcuse me , " said the Hoosler , gulping
down his feclliiKs before1 his guest , and lit ?
B.IVO the waiter a $20 bill.
When the change wax brought back he
chucked It Into his pocket and started out ,
his friend being sonic distance In advance.
"Beg pardon , " murmured the waiter , "are
you going to forget me. sir1'
"Forget you , " hissed the Iloosler , In a low ,
penetrating hiss , "forget you ? AVell , you bet
your life I never forget a man that lets me
pay $17.25 for a dinner when dinners are
plenty for 00 cents , uml , if I ever catch you
In the state of Indiana , hv gum , you'll wish
I had forgotten you , and ilun't you forget
that , will you ? " nnd he walked out so mad
that if there had bfcn li.i'f ' a show for him
he would have tackled the waiter right then
and there.

he began taking off his co.it. The men
clinched and tussled for a moment , when
Kane sank his teeth Into the muscles ot
Qulnn's leg , just below the hip , and bit out
a chunk of flesh. The blood spurted out
and this seemed to stimulate Knnc and ho
took another blto Just below the first
wound. After wrestling u little longer
Kuno sank his teeth Into Qulnn's. back , biting-
him In sK different places. Ho was bit
