MAJOR ANDRE'S AIIRKST DISAPPOINTED
LOVE DRIVES HIM INTOTHK ARMY
THE 1'kT OF 1'Ull.ADELrillA
1IRLI.K8 HID CAPTORH.
Major John Andrew, Ailjutnnt Gen
eral to llunry Clinton, tlio centenary
of whoso capture by John TauMin,
Untie Van Wert tint! Daviil William.,
was eelcbraleil at Tarrytown, So,ittmi
ticr 23d, 1880, wusapuriton of titiUHtial
grace aii'l ueconiplishmuntii, whi wits
tnoro fitted to uhina in Courts than in
camps. Tho halo of romance which
surrounds his untimely cud iscnliunccd
hy tho incidents ol his previous career
in I'.nglun.l anil America.
lie was born in London in the year
1751, and was, consequently, but twen-ty-nino
years of uio at his tleutb. His
parents were natives of Geneva, anil
ho was educated at that old Calvanislie
capital, becoming equally versed in
languages and literature of Franco and
lCngland. Returning to London about
17ti8 bo entered a counting limine,
whoro ho remainod four yours, llis
appointment in lovo turned young
Andre from mercantile pursuits to the
military prntctudon. Coming to Que
bec as a Lieutenant caily in tbe year
1175, at the time of tho first alarm felt
for the pitfely of Canada against
American assault, he whs stationed at
the fortress of Bt. John's, on the Sorol
Hirer, near tbo lower extremity of
Champlain, under Minor Preston, and
was tukon prisoner at tho capture of
that post iNovemocr Jlst, by deneral
Montgomery and Colonel Soth Warnor.
Andro was taken to Lancaster, IV,
and remained there several months
before ho was exchanged. Ho was
next attached to thoslutl'of Sir Henry
Clinton, to whom ho endeared liimsull
by bis fine military and social qualities,
and was rapidly raised to tbo rank of
Captain and Aido de camp, and subse
quently to that of Adjutant (toneral,
with tho rank of Mujor. When Sir
William Howe occupied Philadelphia,
in 1777, Captain Anlro was assigned
to duty in that city, and during the
Winter of 1777 78 ho was tho life and
soul of tho numerous festivities with
which the brilliant British stuff officers
endeavored to propitiate tho loyalty of
I'hiiaaeipina society.
ANDRE IN COLONIAL NEW YORK.
During the years 1779 and 1780
Andre was on duty in Hew York and
took a leading part in tho soeiul life of
this city. He ucuompanied Sir Henry
Clinton at tbo capture ol Stony Point,
Juno 1, 1779, and wroto as Aitlo-do-cump
upon tbo glacis of Fort Lafayette
the terms of capitulation conceded to
tbo gurrieiou. He kept a careful diary
and frequently wrote squibs in proso
and verse for tho loyalist papers, and
and in August, 1780, composed at
Klizubctbtown a burlusquo poem en
titled tho "Cow C'liuBo," in three cantos,
amounting to several quatrains. Tbo
subject was tho attack made by General
Way no upon n block honsoncar Hull's
Kerry, two or thrco miles below Fort
Leo, in order to drive in some cattle
from Ucrgen Nock. By a singular
coincidence the lust canto of this poem
September 23d, 1780, the day of the
poet's capture at Tarrytown. The
last stanza is as follows:
And bow Pre eloaed uy eple attain,
1 tremble ai I abow it.
Leal thle a.ono warrior, drorer, Wayne,
Should eeer eateb the poet.
It happened, singularly enough, that
General Way no was the commander
of the post at Tappan at the time of
Andre s execution. It should be men
tioned that the motives of tho raptors
of Major Andre have frequently been
impeached, chiefly lor tho reason that
they were not on the lookout for oat
tlo or horses which mieht bo driven
toward Mow York. In lad they have
been treated aa H they were mcro
foragers or "akinncis," as tho Conti
nental marauders ol Northern Win
chester woro palled. This idea proba
bly reals chiefly upon the statement of
Andre himself, wholnlnrmed his custo
dian, Colonel UonjaminTalmadge, that
bis cantorsnrst ripped up tbo hnnsings
of bis saddle and the cape of his cout
in search ol monov, and finding nono
examined all his clothing and lastly
his cools lor mo samo purpose. (Jul.
Talmadge, In his interesting "Auto
biography" published by bis sons in
this city in 1858, says nothing of this,
but it is on record that whon in tho
year 1817 Mr. Paulding applied to
Congress for an increase of bis annuity
the petition was opposed by Colonel
Tultnadge, then a member of Congress,
on the ground that tho raptors had
been mora than compensated for the
"real patriotism" which they exhibited
on thai occasion. Tba suhjoct has aso
been ventilated in Walsh's American
Hrniitrr for 1817, where a translation
ol llarbe-Morbois' "Complol d'Arnobf'
is given, and in the same year a "Vin
dication of tho captors of Major An

TH E PA NIC MAN UFA CTUREKS.
Within tbe pant three weoks, it has
become a fashion among tho iiudicul
sneak thief politicians to terrorize and
rally "business men" to mcotings in
lioslon, Philadelphia, .New lurk, and
other commercial cities, in order to
get up a Garfield "boom." Tho wick
edness of this cheat is elaborated by
tho Huston Post, in this way :
lho Itepublican attempt -to create a
panic is a revelation. It m the last re
sort of an expiring dynasty. It ro
veals a panic in its own runks, and is
tho best possihlo evidenco that hone ol
success by all honorable means had fled.
Yt hen tbo late Southern Confederacy
collapsed tbo depurturo of tbe officials
Horn KichmoiKl was accompanied by
incendiary fires. Many of tho ft lends
of tho lost cause were determined to
burn down tho Capital which they
woro no longer able to bold. This
well illustrates the conduct of the Re
publican leaders to-duy. Tho creators
of this panic are public enemies. They
should bo held up us such. If they
cannot retain possession of tho Govern
ment, tney preler to soo ruin and do-
vastution sweep ovor tho land liko a
whirlwind. Are theso the mon lobe
intrusted with power longer? Their
very wickedness and desperation is
the btrongest reasons for tho people of
all parties to rise up in their strength
and disperse them. This destructive
policy wns practiced on a lingo scalo
oy Nicholas iiiddle, in his contest witn
Genoral Juekson. '
"Old Hickory" threw himself into
the fight with all bis will. Ho and
his friends showed up tho facts, and
fmm these derived their most power
ful argument for tho overthrow ot the
dynasty which bad arrayed itself
against lho Government ami the great
interests of the country. Jackson
boldly appealed to the confidence of
the people. They believed in bis hon
esty and patriotism. Tho result was
a perfect triumph for him and them.
What Diddle did is now attempted to
bo repeated. Fortunately no ono man
holds the purse-strings of tbo country
in his hand, as lie did, though there is
mischief in the very word panio which
the Republicans know bow to use.
but lei nobody be scared. Tho people
areas intelligent and sound a. they
were in lho days of Jackson. They
know the sources of prosperity have
boon established by a higher than a
human powor. The cry of panic and
ruin cannot check the productive en
ergy of nature or chock the laws of
trudo. All that honest men of all par-
tios aro tn do is to tuke counsel of
thoir intelligence, not their fears. Let
thcra apply their common sen so to the
situation, and voto out of power these
people that are playing upon popular
fear and trilling with their dearest
interests.
THE CARVER.
Tbe editor of the Now York Times
in a disquisition on dinners takes tho
part of "the carver" in this way :
"Tho misery of habitual carving can
hardly bo exaggerated. Tbo man who
enmo homo tired from hi. day's work,
sits down to dinner, needs a quiot and
easy meal. Instead of havinit this, be
is compelled to undergo tho labor of
carving and to poslpono his personal
dinner until bis appetite has van
ished. It is no small labor to carve
for a family, say of six porsons. The
joints of a spring chicken aro appar
ently made ol a combination of steel
and India rubber, and can nolthor be
cut nor dragged apart; whilotlio roast
beef, toughened by long years of ser
vico in tbo shapo ol an ox, rcqnircs
moro strength ol wrist on the part of
lho carver than would suffice to saw a
twclvo-inch log. When at last the
work of carving is done tho dclicato
and difficult duty of "helping" begins.
There can bo no peace of mind for the
man who helps bis family or occasional
guest to any food except soup or oys
ters, both ol which can bo accurately
and fairly divided. In lho case of
chicken ho can novorgive satisfaction.
There is no rule in this mater beyond
that of giving the chicken legs to tho
boys, which can be followed. To ask
people what part of tho chicken they
preler is simply madness. Kitlior
everybody will loll tbo truth and de
mand the best cut in which caso all
but ono will be exasporatod by failing
i.i,...ii.. i-i.-i. j : ?i
body will reply, "Auy part," "It makes
no difference," or words to lho samo
mendacious and aggravating clfoct.
Of courso when tbo man who says
It makes no difference is helped to
anything but tbo In east he becomes
tho enemy ot lho carvor for life, and
nothing can disabuao him of lho im
pression that be has been wanton!)' in
sulted. It is far bettor to boldly help
penplo without making any pretense
of consulting their wishes. They will
regard tho carver as a rudo and care
less boat; but they will .quit him of
any intention to press open insults on
his guests.
Crvillt Stupid. When Genoral
Garfield, as a Member of Congress,
was arraigned before a Congressional
Committee in 1873, for receiving bribes,

IP. A. Fowler, Ksi., Chairman Execu
tive Committee, tit. Jamet JJotel :
Dear Sir: Business engagements
that cannot bo idelerred will occupy
my limo during tho next fortnight, so
that 1 am unable to make such ap
pointments for public mooting, as you
propose ily impressions about tho
present canvass havo boon freely ex
pruaeied to mj f' Hti If. and may be sura.
mod up in a low paragraphs.
1 have always felt that whenever
tho Democratic party North and
South frankly accepted tbo results of
the war and nominated a eanuidalo
for President who was a firm and
steady friend of the Union throughout
tho strugglo, I could then, as a war
Ucmocral, honorubly resume my form
er politicul relations. The nomination
of Hancock, ono of tho most distin
guished leaders of tho Union armies;
his
animation of tho inviolability of
tbo war amendments to the Constitu
tion ; his denunciation of lho unlaw
fulness of all reclamations sot up by
those who took part in the rebellion ;
tho"genoral favor his nomination bus
received in tho Southorn Statos the
"solid" support of lho South given to
a Union soldier remove the causes
which have forsometimo alienated mo
from my own political associates. I
shall cheerfully unite with (hem now
to promoto the election of their worthy
candidate.
Tho people do not sympathize with
the strugglo ol tbe leaders of the Re
publican party to perpetuate Ihcir
powor. Tho earnestness of Lincoln,
tbo strongth of Howard, the enthusiasm
of Sumner, tho energy ot Stanton, aro
lollowed by the rivalries, jealousies and
intriguesexhibiled in tbo Chicago Con
vention. Tho patriotic zeal which
animated thoso great men of the lio-
fmblican party of the past scorned to
iaro degenerated in their successors
to a moro strife for patronage and
pluco, and days were spont in bitter
contention about candidates without
presenting to tho country any issue
having a practical bearing on its wel
fare. Tho paramount question to bo
settled by the lenders at Chicago seem
ed to be tbo order of their succession
to the Prosid oney.
It is desirable that tbo inevitable
chango in tbe political control of tbe
Government, which is no doubt immi
nent, shall tuke pluco under safo con
dilions. It is not to bo supposed that
any party can bold power indefinitely.
Tho examplo of our own and other
countries sbow that an alternation ot
parties ovory few years is to bo anticl
pated, and experience proves lho peri
odical transitions to bo wholesome and
usctul. Democratic control can bo
safely tried with Hancock. Ho will
give us all tho advantages without any
of tho risks of a change of admin
istration. Republicans and Democrats who
united with so much satisfaction in
electing General Grant do not doubt
the fitness of a soldier to fill tho Presi
dential Chair. Tbo supporters of Gon.
Hayes and the party that ha. now
nominated General Garfield and Gen
eral Arthur must liavo confidence in
military men, unless it ho suggested
that neither Garfield nor Arthur has
seen enough scrvico to imperil our in
stitution. by their martiul proclivities.
In. country was novcr moro lurtu
nato than in lho election ot General
Jackson, tbo champion of tho Union
and of a sound currency and of indo
pence of tho Government from corpor
ation, and who raised our young re
public to tho highest plane of national
dignity and strength. Grant and
Hayes and Garfield belonged to tho
gallant armies ot the Wost, It is limo
that tbo army of tho Potomac tho
victors of Antielain, Gettysburg, Spott
sylvaniaand Richmond should bore
momboicd in lho person of ono of Its
groatost commanders,
Fivo million votes will be cast for
General Hancock. Ho will havo tho
sufTrago of a considorablo and influ
ential part of the population of every
Slate in tbo Union. Andallbotigh tbo
greater portion of bis vote, will como
Irnm tho North and Fast and Wost, it
will represent in tho aggrcgato cvory
section and interest of a reunited
country a. they havo not been repre
sented by any Kxecutivo since tho war.
All pints of tbo Union should share
tho prosperity we now enjoy. There
is no doubt that tho political agitation
in the South, growing out of appre
hended interference in their local gov
ernment, and absorbing tho attention
of the Southorn pooplo during tho past
fifteen years, has seriously retarded
improvement in thoir condition. All
such fear, would bo tranquilized by
tour years of Hancock', conservative
tfti.uil(e.. wituit, aiiu a. uuililul luvi.MI
ot enterprise, activity and thrift would
bo soon throughout the now South
tho South of 18S0 groally to the ad
vantage of tbe whole country.
Tho North moans to hold fast to tho
rosults of tho war. Theso aro em
bodied in tho recent amendments to
tho Constitution. General Hancock
declares thorn to bo Inviolable. Tho
South says, Amen. Bo be it. Let us
mako this a compact hy electinu flan-
cock and so put an end to all further
controversy about the fundamental
questions settled by tho war of seces
sion. Let thodocrco be written In Han
cock', own words: "Whon rebellion
was crushed the heresy of soccssion in
evory form and in every Incidont went
down forever. It is a thing of tbo
doad past."
Neither party propose, uny es
sential modification of tho existing
laws which havo any relation to our
nresont prosponty. In tho manufac
turing Hiatus both parties sustain a
protective tariff. Louisiana has her
sugar intorost, Vermont and Calilornia
their wool, Georgia and Sooth Caro
lina their rice, Pesnsylvania her Iron
and coal, and indeed al tho Statos
have Industrios whioh thrive with tho
help of protoctivo tariff. Kconomical
questions aro not among tho issues ol
this canvass. Republicans and Demo
crats are Groenbtckor. to tho extent
of 1350,000,000 in (invornmont papor
now iewticd no doubt Mr. Wonver
would issuo more but it is not proba
ble than any adninistrattmi would
issue less. Million, of silver, not used
as currency, are srcumulating in the
Treasury. No administration will
stop this coinage. 1 oth parties arodi
vidod in opinion af to the best course

Philadelphia is a Republican Green

principal Republican journals of this

All wo need in tho Kxocutivo is an

a stainless and successful caroer in tho

of a Chief Magistalo as can bo found

THE IS TUITION OF SUCCESS.
Every old soldier will tell you that

Ihero is a mysterioHS relationship ex
isting between men and tho luturoun
der such circumstances, that seems to
acquaint them with tho results that
are to follow. Just now we find that
the grout army of Democrats is march-
ng forward with songs on their lips,
joy in their laces and bopo in their
hearts. Something is telling them that
a glorious triumph is ahead. It is the
intuition of success that inspires and
tho prophetic sign ol victory that ani
mates. Hence we find no tailoring in
tbo lines anywhere, no skulking, no
cowardice. I'.very man In tbo ranks

banners of tbo Democracy flung to tho
breezes everywhere and nightly there
assomblo cntbusiaslio masses to listen
to encouraging speeches and to shout

This is the kind of a campaign that
tells. Wo have not for many years
seen such a unanimous dosiro on tbe
part of tbe Democracy to lako a band
in the preliminary skirmishes ot tho
groat battle that is to be fought on lho
second duy of next month. Old mon,
middle aged men and young men are
pressing forward daily to join our
ranks. Thousands, and especially of
tho young men, tool assured that the
Democrats aro to win, and naturally
enough they drsiro to share in tlio
glorious ratifications that will follow

who casts bis first voto, there is a
decided satisfaction in feeling after
wards that he cast tbut voto for tbe
candiduto who conquered a victory.

DR. TALMAGE MAKES AN ON
SLAUGHT. riRlNQ ANOTHER SHOT AT I'OLVilA.MV
THE BAD CONDITION OF I1IU WHO HAS
MORE TnAN ONE WIFE.
"Married, the second Tuesday morn,
ing in May of the year one, Adam, the
first mail, to Fee, the first woman,
High Heaven officiating," was the an
nouncement with which Dr. Tulinagc
closed hi. 6xordiuin at tho Brooklyn
Tubernaclo Sunday morning nn the
marriago of Adam and Evo. Ho con
tinued : "Away with tho gross notion
that marriago is meroly a civil con
tract, it is a paradisiacal six-thousand-
year old divino institution. All the
laws since lilackstono or before Dlnck-
stono can't properly marry two hearts
unless tbe Lord Almighty has first
married them. What are the foos, the
btttor enemies, of tbo marriago rela
tion ? The first toe 1 discern is polyir
amy. There aro now in this country
moro pooplo than ovor who beliovo in
polygamy. Somo beliovo in it under
another name; somo practice it under
no name. When it is asserted that
lho iliblo sanctions polygamy or plu
rality ol wives there is not ono Chris
tian in fivo hundred thousand who can
not refute the Blunder. Tho Iliblo rec
ognizes polygalny just as it recognizes
all olber styles ol nn, but in no case
sanctions it. Wherever in tbe Iliblo
you find a man who has moro than
ono wife you find him up to his nock
in trouble. Laughter. David and
Solomon wero greviously punished for
their sins. David mourns 'out ot the
belly of hell.' Solomon says: 'Thoro
is no good thing under the sun. Van
ity of vanities ; all is vanity.' Good
for him I If bo had !W9 wivos less ho
would have taken a moro cheerful
viow of things. Great laughter. 1 God
said, 'I will make a helpmeet' for man.
He did not say helpmeets. If God bad
intended a plurality of wives, instead
of taking ono rib from Adam's side Ho
would havo taken more, until Adam
would not have bad a rib left. Great
laughter. Then, bow was it at the
Delugof Row muny of each kind
were there f Each man had ono wife.
If polygamy had been right tlioy would
have had twonty wives each, and thus
have saved a multitude from drown
ing. The history of the world shows
that men and women havo almost al
woys been equal in number. Whoro
thero has been any exception the wo
men have been in tho majority. Tbo
Dible is not moro thoroughly against
theft, blasphemy, and murder than it
is against polygamy. Whcro polyga
my exists thero may be a large bouse,
a splendid house, but no home. Sup
pose twenty women tried to occupy
the throne of Victoria, how much
prosperity would thoro be in England ?
Just as much u. in any homo whore
moro than one wife tries to be queen.
God intended woman to bo man's
equal. Hut in polygamy that is im
possible, becauBe it presumes tbat it
takes ton, twenty or thirty women to
equal ono man. All tbut poetry about
man being lho oak and woman tbe
vine is flat, and stale and untrue.
"In tens of thousands of cases, men
who havo met commercial disaster,
who have gono homo discouraged,
ready to give up tbo strugglo, wishing
thoy wcri dead, havo found sympathy
and encouragement In wives who have
cheered and led them up to commer
cial prosperity. Who now is the cak,
and who tbo ivy ? 1 like the ring of
that Now York merchant who, alter
declining a subscription to a project he
disapproved, said to the applicant:
'lou may call upon my wife; perhaps
she may take a different viow of tho
subject.' Such a boautilul thing as
that could not have occurred in polyg
amy. "Again, all thoso cnlcituinmcnta
which lake mon a majority of even
ings from homo are enomies of do
mestic relation. 1 mako no indiscrimi
nate assault on Clubs. Indeed, if I
should seek out the best Club I could
find and join it. But wben a man
likes any placo better than bis homo,
look out for breakers. Laughter.
You can tell whether a man like, his
home by noting whether ho stays
there. Hut the average Club bouse is
tho foe to domestic lite in New lork
and Urooklyn.
"Who fill lho Club house f I answer,
in many fuses, women. A woman is sur
prised that she has not so much atten
tion paid her now as beloro murriage.
It would bo very different if she would
tako as much pains to mako herself
attractive as she did before marriage.
That is where women mako a mistake,
when, because they aro married, they
give up all those little arts which,
though indescribable, go to mako up
womanly attractiveness. Too many
women make their charms a net for
making ono haul. After they havo
mado one haul they throw the net
awuy. Before marriago you played
liko Thalberg or Gottscball; now you
eat. not play al all. How do you spend
your evenings? Is it complaining
about lho servants? Do you put your
holr,,t Iti an jnf.inr r1e,e of Which
you aro tbo Professor? toil ought to
make homo a small hoaven for your
husband's perturbed spirit, Unwise,
fretful, jealous women havo filled one
hair tho Club house, of Amorica.
"Lot tbe women of the country read
newspapers and books, if only ten
minutes a day. Lot them study tho
questions ot tho hour, and be able to
hold a good stout political argument
as to tbo merits of Hancock and Gar-
Held. Laughter and applause. Then
home will lie a Club houso to which
many moro will Sock. Ono intelligent
woman has moro attractiveness than
twenty intelligent mon.
"Another foe of the domestic rela
tions is Fro. Lovo, All advocates of
it without exception, got to be liber
tinos. Thoy first break up their own
homes and then they break op other
homes. Froo Lovors are lrequently
Spiritualists. They get tho people of
this world so mixed up with thoso of
tho othor world that thoy do not
know who belong, to them. Froo
lovcism and Spiritualism aro twin sis
tors. Hut they are so bankrupt in
morals that thoy don't pay one per
cent, of righteousness.
"Another groat evil of domestic lifo
Is easy divorce. How many, onter
the marriago rolatinn recklessly ? In
franco the Inws were made easy fur
divorce, and there woro 20,000 di
vorces in a year in Paris, There wero
48,000 children carries) into lho found
ling hospital and kindred institutions
48,000 foundlings in a year I Wben

of beastliness break into the garden of

was only one case of divorce reported
in 500 year.. She changed the law;
then the delugo. Divorce Is too easy

Now, all this is right, if marriage ho
merely a civil contract. 1 lien you
may dispose of a conjugal relation as
you would of a house, or a barn, or a

tion, then no other ground than that
announced by the Almighty himscll
can dissolve tbut relation."
TARIFF FCR REVENUE."
The Washington Poit, in alluding to
Ibis vexed question, slates the (use
pretty plainly :
All the protection that any reasona
bio man over thought of asking lor,
must be included in the "tariff for
rovenne," to which tho Democratic
platform pledges the party,
For many years to come, for a longer
period than either uenoral Hancock
or Genoral Garfield will live, wo shall
bo compelled to raise an immenso reve-
nuo Irom duties on imports,
To provide for the interest on the
publiu debt and lor Ibe gradual pay
ment of tho principal, wo must tax im
ports heavily, and in so doing wo must,
inevitably, protect manufactures to as
great an extent as any honest man will
claim is their duo.
The Republican papers aro filled
with vivid pictures of tho awful things
that mnst happen when the "Frco
Trado plank" of tho Democratic plat
form is carried out I There is no Froo
Trado plank in tbat platform, and
tbore is no politician, of any party, in
lho United States, who does not know
that, howover much ho would like en
tiro freedom from tuxes on foreign
goods, thero can be no sucb thing nntil
long alter bia lifu has ended.
Thero aro gross wrongs in our pres
ent tar ill' that ought to be righted.
Thoro aro evils that havo been frankly
admitted to be such by General Gar
field and every Republican in Congress
Tboro are imposts tbut rob the general
public for the enrichment of thrco or
four or half a dozen men. There are
provisions tbat compel ten million fami
lies to contribute to tbo overflowing
coffer, of a few millionaires. There
aro self evident, glaring and universally
admitted outrages enshrined in tbe
tariff schedule, and no intelligent Re
publican statesman will dare deny
their existence.
Tbo Democratic theory of revenue
reform will sweep these out of exist
ence. It will work for tbo general
good, not for tbo good of a little squad
of capitalists who infest tho lobby and
use arguments that convince a professed
revenue reformer like General Gurfleld
that he must vote in their inteiest.
Tho most sensilivo protectionist that
can bo found, even in Pennsylvania,
need not fear free trado or any close
approximation to it, so long as wo have
lho National debt on our shoulders in
addition to tho annual budget.
.$329.
The following readable extract is
taken from the New York Herald's
report ot tbo procoodings of the Now
York Hoard of Aldermen. Felix Mc
Gowan, a saloon keeper, is dissatisfied
with the unfortunate number of his
place ot business, and petition, tho
city authorities to have it (banged.
The petitioner saith :
That be i. a hotel keeper in this
city, on tho northwest corner of Tenth

Tbe number is "329 Tenth avenue."
Pooplo go by and jeer at tbo sign on
which it is inscribed. Customers and
travelers refuse to como in because
thoy say it is an unlucky and fated
number. Idoys piano tbeir thumbs in
odd abutments to their noses and
whirl defianco at tho number witb
thoir fingers. Some irreverent par
ties havo even insulted complainant
and petitioner by calling out, "Hello,
old Garfield, give us a divy I" or clso,
"What are your aims, anyhow, old
Do Gnlyer ?" so that lifo is becoming
a grevioua burden to petitioner. Re
sides, ho and his premises aro insulted
by having bis number, 329, chalked or
painted up all over tho city. Indeed

posterity as "Uld Ji'.i, instead ol as a
repuluble and industrious hotel keeper.
