WASHINGTON LETTER
I From our Regular Correspondent.
WASHniaTos. D. 0., Oct. 11, 1887.
It was the proud boast of tho Erapo
ror Augusus, that he had found Home
built of brick and left it built of mar
ble the chief glory of that great Em
pires golden age ; and in modern times
if we aro to bolievo thoso who, as if by
magio wand, have performed the won
derful feat of converting Alexander It,
Shepherd from a vulgar political boss
who was, while Governor ot tho Dis
trict of Columbia, during tho reign of
Grautism, cheek by jowl with uaDcocK,
Belknap, and other corrnptionists in
to a demi god, upon whom they havo
confessed tho unique distinction ot
canonization ere ho has "shuffled off
this mortal coil," wo havo a parallel
case, for it is claimed that St. Shepherd
found Washington a wide waste of
mud and left it tho moat beautiful city
in tho United States. And it you had
suddenly coino into tho Federal Capi
tal on Thursday niaht, Uot. Oth, 1887
you would have shrunk aghast at the
awful din and glare and smoke and
sound of music, supposing that you
bad been accidentally switched off in
to the very centre of pandemonium
but nothing of tho kind, dear reader
you would simply have been a disgusted
spectator of St. Shepherd's triumphal
torchlight procession and general pa
rade of all the Shepherdites and trucu
lent toadies to be found in the broad
borders of Washington. Tho Boss
I beg pardon, the Saint gave Wash
ington smooth, solid streets and shad
ed. grassy parks to say nothing of i
glorious public debt of many millions,
therefore perhaps, a majority of the
Washingtomans worship him as the
patron saint and savior of the city
They have not yet proposed to change
tbo name ot Washington to biiepherd
ton, but such a thing is quite probable,
lor one enthusiast has nominated Hhep
herd for President of the United States.
How much better and more christian
like-it would have been to have con
tributed to the poor, whom wo always
have with us, the ten thousand dollars
squandered in glorifying Shepherd.
Thoughts of another prominent He
publican now corao to mind the un
savory iiacon, who was spoiled on the
bands of his party and who as financi
al clerk, dispoiled the Patent Office of
$30,0UU, according to the report ol the
Commissioner of Patents, whiob has
just been submitted to the Secretary of
tne interior, ine amount ot tno de
falcation is much larger than had been
supposed, and furnished tho strongest
ot arguments tor turning tbo rascals
out. Baoon had been stealing thirteen
years, and was not detected until an
undertakers call was imperative.
The October term of tho United
States Supreme Court convenes this
week, with a docket largely increased
over that of last year. Among tho
cases of note. 1 will mention two tho

and tho famouB telephone, case.

TUB KNTltUSlABTlO l'ICOPLK SHOUT THEM
SELVES IIOAK8K.
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND AND LADY OVER.
WIIELMKl) WITH ATTENTIONS.
St. Paui, Oct. 11. Tho Presidential
parly was up betimes this morning.and
as early as 8 o'clock both Mr. and Mrs.
Cleveland woro in trim for tho events
of tho day. Both looked bright end
lresb,and in their smiling countenances
thero was no trace of tho fatigue which
mlhgt bo considered inoldcnt to tho
strain of yesterday and tho all too
brief interval of rest. At nine o'olock
tho patty of Fcvcn, comprising tho
President and his wife, Mr. and Mrs.
Vilas, Mr. Bisselj, Dr. Bryant and Col.
Lamont, sat down to a light breakfast
that had been set in tho ladies' ordinary.
A beautiful bed of roses occupied tho
oenlro of tho table, and other floral
offerings were scattered in profusion
around tho room. Boforo tho meal had
been concluded tho recoptlon commit
too was on baud for tho purposo of es
corting tho party on a drivo around
tho city. "Glvo mo time to got in my
overcoat," said the President, "and I
will bo with you."
"And mine, too," put in Mrs. Clovo
land. It wns a good forethought, for
although tho sun was shining tho air
was decidedly too cool for an open
carriage drivo without heavy over
clothing. Tho gacsts in tho hotel
gavo tho firBt ohoars of tho morning
as the party descended tho stairway,
and tho vast crowd outsido set up a
volley as tho first gentleman and lady
of the land camo into view. There
were fivo carriages in tho prooession,
tho first, drawn by four whito horses,
being occupied by President and Mrs.
Cleveland, Mayor Smith and Hon. P.
II. Kelly. In the next were Postmas
ter General Vilas, Miss Ada Murphy,
Col. Lamont and Lieutenant Governor
William R. Marshall, while tho com
mitteo and other guests occupied tho
remainder of tho vehicles. A detaoh
ment of mounted police led tho way.
Tho route was round by Dayton's
Bluff and thence to St. Anthony's Hill,
taking in tho two extrcmctics of the
oity. For tho groatcr part of the dis
tance tho sidewalks and bordors of the
roads wore a Bolid mass of spectators,
who cheered themselves hoarse as tho
carriages went by. In responso to
some of the more enthusiastic greet
ings the president lifted his hat, while
Mrs. Cleveland waved her dainty
handkerchief. After the drivo the
president was entertained at lunch at
tho Minnesota club, while Mrs. Clevo
land paid a flying visit to the residence
of one of her old friends. At noon the
presidential train left for Minneapolis.
There was a terribly disappointed
crowd of Dakotans here to day. Tbey
came in fifty strong yesterday, all of
them judges, sheriffs, auditors or hold
ing other territorial positions. As
Mahomet could not bo gotten to the
mountain, the mountain determined to
como to Mahomet, and it was expected
that at least their journey of 500 or
000 miles would be rewarded by a speo
ial presentation to the president. But
last night they could not get within
earshot of his excellency, and this
morning when they preferred their re
quest the president expressed his re
grets that every moment of his time
would bo so taken up that it would be
impossible to grant the favor. Then
tho Dakotans turned bluo and purple,
and wondered what their fellow towns
men would say when they got home.
Some of them were in such a tribula
tion of spirit that a kind hearted mem
ber of tho local reception committee
made a second appeal to the president
in their behalf, and was successful in
inducing him to grant tho booni but
by this time the delegation had beoome
separated, aud only tho few who could
be found around tbo rotunda were fav
ored with a grasp of the president's
hand. When the rest returned and
learned that they had been euchred,
they were more demoralized than ever,
and so the entire body has gone over
to Minneapolis with tho determination
of oorraling tho piesjdent before ho
leaves for Omaha.
A Corporation Judge.
JUDCIE WU.UAMS servant of the coal
COMPANIES.
Tho Advertiser, an independent
journal published at Blossburg, Tioga
county, (the county in which Judge
Williams resides,) expresses its opinion
of that candidate for the highest judicial
office in the state as follows :
"We shall charge and Bhow that in
this county he has been the ohief in
strument in the hands of the unscrupu
lous and lawless mining companies in
enforcing the infamous ton day land
lord and tenant act, by which the mi
ners and other employes of the compan
ies have been evicted and thrown into
tho streets, with thoir wives and little
ones,2 to contend with all tho blasts
and storms of winter i and we shall
further show that he has been the in
strument by which tho superintendents
of the mining companies have under
tho ten day act, made vacant any
township oflico they desired by dis
charging the officer, elected by the
people, a power not dreamed of by
himself, who conceived the act of 1865.
Wo shall show that companies who
wished to get rid of a justice of the
peace, assessor, constable or supervisor
they could do to with the assistance of
Judge Williams. That for instance,
an assessor, who wished to place a
proper valuation of tho lands and prop
erty of the company, could under tho
ten day act be ordeied opt of tho com
pany's house, and thero being no other
dwelling in the township, not owned
by tho company, tho oflico was declar
ed vacant and Judgo Williams appoint
ed to fill tho vacancy any man the
oompauy desired thus making a com
plete force of tho right of tho people
to olcot their own officers when if
Judge Williams bad been a just judge,
ho could have said to theso companies,
'I will order a new or special eleotion
for the purposo of filling tho vacancy'
the practice would have been nipped
in the bud years ago."
Tho Advertiser further charges that
Judgo Williams has shown gross favor
itism in granting licensos, aud says i
"Uoder this bead we shall Bhow how
in ono locality he has grantod saloon
aud wholesalo liquor licenses, against
tho most earnest protests of republicans,
democrats, Christians, Hebrews aud
gentiles, and in other localities refused
licenses when the most reputablo citi
zens of all political parties and various
religious denominations havo petition
ed and appealed to him in person to
grant tin m. Wo shall show also that
by this unri'lmhlo and unjust aud vacil
lating oourso lio has lost tho confidence
of the public, tho temporanoo and pro
hibiiionixt ami tho hotel keepers as
well as the citizens av large."
This is a terribli niraignment, and
tho friends of Judce Williams will
have to meet it if they would commend
him to tbo tttprort of intelligent and
patriotic voters.

OAS WELLS.
From tho Fireman's Herald.
Two hundred years ago in China
thero was just such a crazo about uatu
ral gas as we havo in this country to
day. Gis wells were sunk with as
much vim and vigor as tho Celestials
weio capable of, but owing to a gas
explosion that killed several millions
of people and toro up and destroyed a
largo district of country, leaviug a
largo inland sea, known on tho maps
as Lake Foo Chang, tho boring of any
moro gas wells was then and there
prohibited by law. It Booms, accord
ing to Chinese history, that many
largo and heavy pressure gas wells
wcrostruok and In. somo districts wells
woro sunk qulto near to caoh other.
Gas was lighted as soon as strnok, as
is dono in this country. It is said that
ono well, with its unusual pressuro, by
induction oi' hack draught, pulled
down into tho earth tho burnlng'gas
of a smaller well, resulting in a dread
ful oxploslon of a largo district, de
stroying tho 1 inhabitants thereof.
Lako Foo Chang rests 6n this distriot.
Tho samo calastropho is imminent in
this country unless tho law restricts
further developments in boring so many
wells. Should a similar explosion occur
thero will bo such an upheaval as will
dwarf tho most tcrriblo earthquakes
over known. Tho country along the
gas belt, from Toledo, through Ohio
Indiana aud Kentucky, will bo ripped
up to tho depth of 1,200 to 1,500 feet
and flopped over liko a pancake, leav
ing a cli nam through which tho waters
of Lako Erio will como howling down,
filling the Ohio and Mississippi Valleys
and blotting them out forovor.

FOOTJfEAR.
In buying Boots, Shoes, Slip
pers, or any other kind of foot
wear, people will go where they
can find the largest assortment
to select from, and where they
can get the best goods for the
least money. Such advantages
can be found at the best in an
establishment that deals exclu
sively in footwear. Almost ev
ery general store keeps a few
boxes of boots and shoes, but at
Dentler's shoe store the stock
consists entirely of this lino of
foods. Jboots, Shoes, Slippers,
umps, Kubbers, Sandals, Gai
ters, &c, for Men, Women and
Children, occupy shelf after
shelf, and even the floor of the
large room is Btocked with boxes.
Here tho customer can find all
