MONDAY BVENINO, SEPT, 3, 1B03,
Cloaking Ambition.
Tim New Yerk Herald affects 10 be-
lleve that tlie New Yerk Sun's statement,
that its authority for declaring that Mr.
Tltdcn la net a candidate for the presi
dency Is Mr. Tllden himself, tints a
quietus en " the old ticket" business,
and reduces its advocates te n necessary
sllence. The UtraU considers this ferlu
natc for the Democratic party since
" the cipher dispatches, the Incoine tax
suit, the various speculations, some of
ilmm BiiulcIentW malodorous, in which
Mr. Tllden has been engaged-all make
him nu undesirable Democratic catull
date for the presidency, unic?i the He-
publicans intended te nouiinate Air.
Cyrus "W. Field." Though Demecmts
generally de net share the HtruhVt
opinion that Mr. Tllden lias been
smirched in the matters which It enu
merates, yet' there Is no doubt that
there is a great deal of truth in the
opinion which it gees en te express that
the acquirement of great wealth by a
great many of our public men, which
has been a notable feature- in political
life since the war, has " injured them in
the general esteem, and when it is pre
posed te make presidents out of wealthy
statesmen like Mr. Dlalne or Mr. Tllden
or ethers whom we could narae the pub
lic mind recoils."
But only n part of the public mind
recoils. There is no doubt that a great
many Democrats have Mr. Tilden for
their first presidential choice, and a
great many Republicans would first
choeso Mr. Blalne. Tliese Democrats
and Republicans have educated them
selves into an admiration for these
mei and will bclleve no evil of them.
Beth have announced their retirement
from the presidential race and both
would llke te have it believed that they
are out of it. It is an unwholesome
thing te be deemed a standing candidate
for any office and especially for the pres
idency. It is obviously geed policy te
retire for a while, after nu unsuccessful
venture, as deep into the shade as possi
ble, te emerge at a propititeus moment.
The enemy is lulled Inte a false security
by the movement. His vigilance is re
laxed ; opportunity is given for the sub
sidence of resentments and the hailing
of wounds.
Mr. Blaine, te give a semblance of
truth aud "don't care a copper for it" te
his renunciation of presidential aim,
has gene into the literary business, aud
is playing a geed stroke of policy and
business at the same time by announcing
his prepartien of a big two volume book,
containing his twenty years congres
sional recollections, which he proposes te
sell, te subscribers only, at seven dollars
a copy. And a great many he is getting ;
though he has no reputation as a writer
his agents secure subscriptions for the
asking. His reputation as a politician
sells his work as a " literary cus3." His
admirers, indeed, would willingly pay
for the book If it had no literary
merit. But no doubt it will net be
lacking in this. Mr. Blalne can afford
te pay for it if he cannot himself pro
duce it, or if he is disinclined te the ex
ertion. And with his experience of nun
and things he will have little difficulty
in getting up an interesting book. It a
quite a Yankee Idea, te turn his no
toriety Inte cash, while he kills another
bird with the stone by putting a literary
coat ever his political skin. It Is a rich
vein for distinguished politicians te
strike. They might each give us a book.
They need net all fellow Mr. Blalne into
the reminiscence line, but may strike off
into a novel or a history. Disraeli was a
statesman and novelist, and statesmen
and historians have been abundant. We
iiave net heard the announcement of
any literary work by Mr. Tilden, who
has been busy with house building ;
which is an evidence that he is in geed
mental and physical condition, house
building beluga business that requires a
sound mind in a sound body te prosecute
successfully. We hope that he will lone
enjoy the result of his labors and Hurt
himself very comfortable at home.
Tin: earthquake in Isclu.i aud the
plague Iu Egypt overflow the cup of
horrors which the present year has been
heaping full. It was remarked some
months age that lbS.'t had been the most
notable year of the century for calami
ties of nil sorts, but the tragedies of the
first six months were comparatively
merciful te human life in contrast with
the awful disasters in the East of later
occurrence, Human life has nnvtr
been accounted here se cheap as there
and this Is probably why the slaughter
of 20,000 at lschla and the death from
pestllence of 25,000 in India and Egypt
de net awnken the melancholy interest
which for the time at least attached te
the Bruldwoed mine disaster and the
excursion horror near Baltimore.
TiiK Philadelphia Times has ue feun
datieu for its announcement that If
Ohie gees Democratic the Democratic
chairman in this state will claim that
perforce Pennsylvania will go Deme
cratic. Last year, under such ciicuni
stances, no such claim was made. The
Democratic party here iecegnl7.es that
the Issues iu Ohie and in Pennsylvania
are separate and distinct. One does net
Eettle, nnd scarcely affects, the ether

cigar that can be made for SI a thou
sand is taxed $3, or 75 per cent, of its

unjust discrimination. The cost of the

That the presidential party is homeward
bound and the stupendous fish stories
which the public had ceme te regard as Its
daily pabulum must be no ruore,is a subject
for poignant regret. Yet there is a deeper
deep of privation connected with the pass
ing of Arthur from the uutrodden west.
Colonel Mlke Sheridan will lay aside the
littte pen which has dene such faithful
service as a chronicler of the events of the
presidential s ijeuru. The aching void
which this eveut will create in the literary
world is horrible te contemplate.
Nevel writing, unless iu instances
where authors have attained a world wide
Tame, is net a lucrative occupation. The
world will nevorknew thonuruberof valu
able production that have been lest te it
by the incempetency of book publisher.-) te
discern a really geed work when they see
it. Even when a book has achieved a
reputatieu, the profits arising te the for
tunate author are often oxceelingly
meagre. It is said thtt Marien Crawford,
whomade thestrlklng hit In "Mr.Isaaes '
and followed It up with "Dr. Claudius,"
in similar vein, has net realized en both
weiks ever $0,000. Yet these uevels are re
parted te have reached a silo in Engl ind,
and the United States of 30,000 copies.
The composition of these two books repro repre repro
tents two years of arduous labor, aud
wheu the peculiar genius necetsary for
their onstruet'On is considerod, tlie com
pousatien can ne: be regarded as inore
than a mcre pittance.

uailenal generosity, and further said that
no couceeslou had ever been obtained and
none would ever be obtained that was net
wruug by shesrforce from tbe governing
power. Tirolesi pailiamcntary agitation
of the Irish question must event'jally

crushing defeat of the landlords in

At Marshfleld, Mass., considerable cxclto cxclte cxclto
ment has been caused ever the reported
finding of the body of Mrs. Miranda
Telman. wlfe of Charles Telmau, in the
North River, New Yerk, with a number
of wounds en it of such i character as te
give rlse te the opinion that death had
been caused by violence The facts in the
casa are substantially ns fellows :
Mrs. Telmau resided at Marshtleld with
her husband, a wealthy farmer. Last
spring a young man named Resen Pezi, a
Spaniard by birth, took up his nbode in
the neighborhood, and he and Mrs. Tel
man seen bcoame last fr lands. A few
weeks age Pezl left announcing his inten
tion te return te his home lu Malaga,
Spain. He left Monday, aud en the fol
lowing Thursday, Mrs Telmau disappear
ed very mysteriously. As Per.l and Mrs
Telmau were known te have been very
intimate, it was supposed that they had
met at seme place and were going te leave
the country tegether. The uext evening,
hewever, a postal can! was received from
Mrs. Telman stating that the had arrived
iu New Yerk and that she would return
en a certaln date.
Nothing has slnce been heard from her,
hewever. Her husband recently visited
New xerk, where he learned that Pczi had
engaged a passage en the Italian steamer
Aroairueties, Ter Uibraltar. no ntterwani
traced him te Brooklyn, and succscd iu
having au iutcrvicw with him. He denied
any kuowledge as te Mrs. Tehuan's where
abeuts, claiming that he had net seeu her
siuce her departure from Marshlleld. It
has been loarned that Pczi, who is well
known in New Yerk, bore a bad reputa
tieu. Mrs. Telmau had, It is said, wheu she
left Marshlleld, a large sum of money aud
seme valuable jowelry about her .orsen.
The theery is that Mrs. Telman went te
New Yerk and met Pezi ; tint idie en
deavored te recover her meney ; that he
learned that sbe had mere meuey, aud that
he murdered her and threw her body into
the river.

TUT. ANN .IfllKCT SCHUOL IIU1I.D1NU.
Tlie New Htructurn Completed and filled
With llrlRht and ilnpiiy Children.
The public rchoel building en Ann
street, corner of Grant, was occupied for
school purposes for the first time te-day.
Like tbe school buildings rccently erected
en James, Maner aud New Htroets, it U a
two story brick, containing four school
rooms, each capable or heating about sixty
pupils, and provided with all the school
conveniences pertaining te first class
rooms, including "Keystone" desks and
scats, or hard weed and iron frames, ample
blackboard surface, admirable light and
appreved ventilating and beating appar
atus. The two down stairs rooms are used
as primary schools, conducted respectively
by Miss King and Miss MeMcllcn. One of
the upstairs rooms is au advanced primary
in charge of Miss Stall), aud the ether a
scceuday hchoel iu charge of Miss Llchty.
Thu new school building is about the
same size, and the plan is substantially the
Hirne as thu buildings abeve referred te,
though there are seme Improvements that
the ethers de net have. There is a front
entrauce for thu girls and a rear entrauce
ler the boys, and ever tbcee are erected
neat porticoes as a protection te the
children en entering and leaving school
during bad weather. The stairways are
in the centre of the building, se that they
de net partly block tut the windows as Is
the case with the Mauer and New street
schools. The exterier finish and a roll I-
toetural appearance of the buPdlug is also
hotter than the ethers, whlle a neat cupola
with ornamental guard of Iren railing
surmounts the reef. The school grounds
have been neatly graded aud the front
enclosed with a substantial iron fence, the
aides and rear being enclosed with a white
beard fence. The grounds have been
divided into two equal parts, ene as a play
ground for boys and the ether for the
girls. A portion or the grounds have been
paved with brick, a portion laid iu beards
ami a portion remain unpaved.
The loeuiou or the usw school was well
nolected, the ground being high and dry,

a gang of tramps who requested feed and
lodging, but were unwilling te work a few
hours In payment. A vagrant who reluscd
te go, and drew a deadly weapen, received
the contents of ashet gun In his leg, He
lurked around sovernl days, waiting for
rovengo. After supper Friday ovenlug he
saw Mr. Crawford's two llttle daughters
outer the mill, en the upper lloer of which
a play room lnd been part1 tloued off for
thorn. Following them the wretch fnst
ened the deer, hile the children worn
playing Inside. Descending te the base
meat he piled heaps or lull immable ma
terlal in several (Mints nnd then set tlie
whole ou fire. Tlie fiend's Intention was
te bum the girls alive, iu retaliation for
the shot imbedded lu his llesh by their
father. In a few moments the lower por
tion of the mill was ouveloved In Ihmcs.
Ingress or egress nlike were cut off and
the girls soeme.l deemed te die the most
agonizing deaths.
They crawled through a hole upon the
reef, but were afraid te jump, aa the dis dis
tauce was thirty llve feat and the gruiitid
thickly dotted with jagged boulders. Ne
ladders were nvallable, nor could the
tl.uues have permitted their use even If at
hand, The father and spectators tinned
away sickened, momentarily expecting te
see the rafters yield aud the children dis
appear Inte the rearing dames. The
mother, shrieking that if her darlings
could net be saved she would perish with
them, lushed te the blazing building, but
strong arms proNented the execution of
her frenzied resolution. At this itibtant n
deliverer appeared, a young farmer named
Alfred K. Bjnuell, carrying a coil or repe
te which was fastened n strong Iren hook.
Hastily strapping climbing irons te his
legs, he ascended a tall oak tree near the
mid. Iu a moment he steed en n limb
high abeve the children, who gazed at
mm wun eager eyes. Tlie young man
threw the repe se precisely that the hook
caught in the smaller girl's dress. Draw
ing the cord baud erer baud, the girl
swung clear aud was lowered safely into
her father's arms.
The crowd steed liku statues as Bonuell
cast bis hook a second tlrne te snatch a
human life from a death that but a few
seconds before appeared Inevitable. He
succeeded iu getting the repe te the ether
child, who seen hung suspended iu the
air, her clothing catching 11 re as she left
the perilous place. She was saved, how
ever, without being much burned. When
the Intrepid hore regained the earth he
sank down overpowcrcd by intense excite
ment, nnd was carried away uet a second
tee seen for the kafety ir himaslf and
friends. The boiler in the burning mill,
surrounded by a mass of glaring coal,
exploded, the detonation beiug heard ler
miles. Fragments of iron plates, red het
farming machines, and llamiug timbers
were hurled hundreds of feet, though
fortunately, net a twrsen was injured.
The incendiary tramp lied from the sceno
of his crime en a stolen horse, and escaped
the vengeance of the furious farmers.

The baseball " curved motion," te my
mind, Is of a plcce with perpetual motion,
both of which nre In direct contravention
of fundamental laws of mechautcs. There
eau be ue perpetual motion until the law
of gravitation is abolished. Ne curved
motion (like that in question) whlle tlie
" first law of motion " stands en nature's
statute, te wit : " A body set in motion tall
