CttaMuf 8Utn to the rVnrth and Fifth Ksries li a Xationil HiMt prBITTXJf TOa THI DISFATCSM LETTER NO. 8. The icy Elbe led the way to Dresden, and a city of many lights and spires was duly evolved. Dresden is famous for her picture gallery and her museum, the Green Vault; the latter has been for a long time underco ing repairs and reorganization, and the astonishing arraT of curiosities are invisi ble. The glorious gallery is open, however. Thev say in Florence that, after Florence, Dresden takes precedence in her art treas ures; but I should think Eome, Venice and Vienna were strong competitors. The Dresden gallery is. however, remarkable for the variety of splendid examples it con tains, the most famous of which is the Sfa demna of Raphael, distinguished by the ex quisite cherub faces. To this great picture is assigned an apartment The Duly work of art in sight, as one looks upon the happy face of the mother and the divine Innocence of the child, is a bust of Eaphael. This room Is a temple where the worship of art is carried on. I had the pleasure of meeting in Dresden the Hon. "William Walter Phelps, Minister of the United States to the Imperial Court of Germany, on his way to Egypt, not so much to gratify himself by visiting scenes which he studied ten years ago, as to give attention to a flaw in his health which has annoyed him for several months. "While he has not been quite well, he is looking better than when his friends in America last saw him. The improvement is in a fullness of the lower part of His face which brings Jt into harmony with the upper part. If one may be minute in such a matter, his broad brow has too much overshadowed his cheeks, and now the outlines are rounder. In the Highest Sense Persona Grata. The countrymen of Mr. Phelps are well aware that his public services in the German mission have been quite important; that the treaty he has been foremost in negotiating is one of exceptional interest and value; that it was a work of "real difficulty and delicacy; that Germany, while most friendly to the United States, still is steadfast in self-assertion, and must be assured that at each step her own dignity and honor are absolutely safe from the suggestion of the slightest friction. Mr. Phelps, as Minister to Austria and Samoan Commissioner, had diplomatic training, and his keen faculties and conciliating courtesies of manner, and deftness in methods, have furnished an ad rrirable equipment, without which the clever work he has done would have been impracticable. The United States has had no more pdpu lar representative at Berlin, no one in a Weber sense persona grata, than Mr. Phelps, and the list includes, in later days, George Bancroft, Bayard Taylor, Davis, Kasson, "White and Pendleton. There is not a poor American boy or girl pursuing studies xn Berlin and they are often with resources slender in comparison with their ambition who is not sure of a good friend in Mr. Phelps; and he is hospitable, abroad or at home. Mr. Phelps in Dresden cave his aid to a reading by "Mark Twain" on behalf of an American charitable enterprise. Mr. Clemens, with his wife and daughters, are spending some time abroad. His primary object is to rid his right arm of the rneuma tism which has become quite a bore; and the public interest in this scheme is consider able, for he has not been able to train him self to dictate, and his rheumatic arm grows weary and rebellious when he has been at work a little while say half an hour. How Hark Twain Writes. He does not do the writing himself exact ly. His pen docs it. He sits down and takes his pen in hand, and as he proceeds the pen gets the pull on him, and he just lets it go and the work is done. "When this is interfered with by muscular rheumatism, a source of supplv of that which the public has learned to prize is cut off, and hence the relation of this case of rheumatism to mat ters and things in general. The treatment that Mr. Clemens would be most likely to bestow upon his rheumatism is the smoking of a cob pipe; but that has not as yet done its perfect work. I suppose I may say without offending anv susceptibility that Mr. Clemens never looked so picturesquely handsome, never offered such blandish ments to artists in his personal appearance, never looked so intellectual, sagacious, and shrewd, and gracious as now; and if he could be followed up by a photographer there wonld be no complaint of an omission to produce good thiags, for ibey abound in his speech in greater measure than of old. Perhaps the rheumatism mav be prepar ing the way for even better things. There has been a gentleness, sweetness and refine ment and genial philosophy in some of his recent writings that speak of the influences of the happy life and-charming surroundings that are the brighter part of his good for tunes. No literary man ever had a more flattering reception than he enjoyed in Dresden. It was an ovation, and the amount of money gained for charity was astonishing. Of course the English and American colony in Dresden turned out in force; but the most impressive testimonial was in the throng of Germans who crowded to see the man. The works of Mark Twain have been translated into German some of them several times and they have had im mense circulation. He is a celebrity in his own right among the lovers of literature in Germany, and one of the lions of the im perial city. That confounded rheumatism, however, takes him away for a time, and there is grief that he is going. Berlin's Keal .Estate Booms. Berlin is devouring territory in her im perial growth like Kew York,London and Chicago, and the. Providence that has been said to provide great rivers for the great cities has neglected her. She does the ut most with her small streams, and J have not managed all the timeio tell among the water courses which is the river and which the canal. The country is flat and sandy, and seemB well adapted to the growth of Sine and white birch trees. I trust the raiuage question will be competently han dled in the administration of this great city. It is all-important The water sup ply has a good reputation, and people who are fond ot water may partake of it without peril ot fever. I have apprehensions that such is the de mand for more houses that the construction is not in all cases as solid as it should be. The cheap and rapid methods are, of course, not the most substantial, and I hear ol thin partition and houses that shake. Still, the material is good. The habit m the new part of the city is to buiid with rough brick, and plaster externally with a cement that soon becomes almost as good as stone, quite as good as much of our sandstone, and that lends itself to a style of decoration that is, . in a sense, fictitious, for the superb facades are not real stone. Still,,the stucco fronts are so like stone that it is not fair to say that they are of the gingerbread order of architecture. The new houses are not in flammable, and that is a blessing. The fire department is scoffed at by the young American, and that is a good sign. Our superb organizations for putting out fire are reillv advertisements of conditions of danger-" The City Has Good Pavements. The pavements of Berlin are admirable, and whether of blocks of bard stone or of wood, macadam or asphalt, their careful, honest construction makes them excellent, and there does not seem to be any difficulty in keeping them decently clean. The American who has not been away from home long enough to forget just how things are in our streets, looks uion the broad, well-kept pavements of the noble thorough fares of Berlin with something more than admiration with surprise and pride takes a tumble in asking the question, "Why can we not do this sort of thing at home? "We do not do it in any town on our continent They seem to manage the telegraph wires in Berlin in a very sensible manner. Upon tall houses at appropriate intervals are erected frames of iron, and upon them are spun great numbers of wires, that are far out of the way and not unsightly. There is no tremendous array of poles. The tele phone has entered into the life of the people, and the signs of public offices for telephoning are numerous. I had no idea until this journey revealed it that the telephone had so conquered Europe. I wonder what a sleet storm would do for the hich wires! I am a convert to the German system of house heating. The "Dutch stove" has been regarded as an expression socon temrjtnons as to be derisive. It is an insti tution possessing the largest merits. The-; usual stove in .Berlin is a tower 01 porce lain, bound in brass, extending nearly to the ceilinc, and an article of furniture pleas ant to look upon. Stoves are artistic and not fantastic f Merits of Berlin's Stores. Ther ret the most out of fuel and are clean. "Within a few inches of the floor is a thin brass door, not larger than a page of foolscap paper. It has a light latch, and open discloses a solid iron door ot the same size, and on a button hangs the key to a screw. Apply the key and open the door and within is a third door with air holes. Open that and there is a chamber for fuel. The Germans have kindling in small lumps, that makes a fire a sure thing, and little black bricks of compressed slack, stuck to gether with a tarry paste. Start the fire and close the inner door, and when the bricks are glowing shut the second door, screw it up tight, swinging the outer door into its place and you need no more fire for 24 hours. The porcelain tower becomes warm, but not blisteringly hot, and diffuses warmth that is wholesome It is magical that so much heat can be evolved from so little fuel, and that the process should be one of absolute cleanli ness. I do not see why this stove would not become popular in the United States, and rid us of some of our terrors- Think of the effect upon consumption, and consuming smoke inspectors, of the general use of this simple stove, which can be furnished of plain material at a cheap rate! One thing is certain; it would not promote the profli gate use of fuel, the dismal waste of our re sources in that respect, and the horrid over heating of our houses, which is so fashion able. Brds or the Triple Alliance. I am not, however, a convert to the Ital ian, Austrian or German bed. The Triple Alliance style of beds does not commend it self to me. I do not object vehemently to a single bed, if one"had room to turn over and bedclothinz that would permit a change of position. The last time I slept in a good bed np to this writing, deep in January, was in Brooklyn, If. Y., on the night of No vember 27. The beds on the ship were nar row, of course. One expects to sleep on a shelf at sea, and I became reconciled to sew ing np the blankets in a copious sheet 1 rememoerea, on landing at ucnoa, me mag nificent beds of Liverpool, and lamented their absence. The bed was narrow, and so were the bedclothes. I am sorry for the old Bomans if thev had beds narrow as are now in use in the Eternal Citv in the best hotels. The same is to be said of Florence, Venice, Vienna and Dresden. The culmination has come in Berlin. The beds are narrow and short, and there are no bedclothes. You doTtfbt call patting the blankets next to the mattress with 'a sheet over them, and a feather bed on that, bed clothes, do you? The German bed is not a delusion, for it is a dreadful reality. It is not a snare, for that deceives, and you are not deluded in your German bed. You know misery has "a lien on you the moment yon discover the bed. I do not know but I should have perished but for a nice, broad, long, thick, warm blanket of my own, which has become my best friend. I understand now the rugs with which an Englishman sets out on a continental tour. "What he means by the thundering loads he carries in shawl straps is that it is necessary to go armed with bedclothing. The German pil low is a limp, lank, fluffy bag of feathers. I suppose and hope these bags are filled with feathers. They never wear out, be cause they always give way to the least pressure. A Thine That Always Crawls. The covering the "kiverin " as it were is another and bigger and limper bag, a regular fuzzy, guzzy of a bag, and the mora huge it is, the more hideous it must be; and it has a queer sort of intelligence As soon as vou fall asleep it crawls to the floor, a noiseless, creeping thing. It dodges you like a shadow. "What a blessed variation it wonld be to sleep on a bed of straw, or on a carpet before the fire, with a buffalo robe over you, or in a sheepskin bag! If the German bed meant, in its narrow ness and fluffiness and inadequacy,economy, I would be willing to say nothing about it, but it must be a national passion. I have been knocking around in some of the palaces and where there is more room than the royal folks know what to do with, still the narrow bed prevails. I was shown where several royal and imperial and his torical personages, men and women, have slept, and ther were subjected to the narrow bed. In an investigation carried on at Pots dam I saw but one double bed, and the guide said Napoleon slept there one night in 1806. The beds upon which royalties have died have been of the narrow pattern. The Emperor "William died in one of these beds, according to engravings at the time, and he surely deserved all the comforts a faithful old man should have. Frederick the Great, however, died in a chair drawn up to an open window on a fine day, looking out upon a beautiful park. Wilhelm Invests in English Beds. There is reason to fear the HvingEmperor of Germany is a believer in the narrow bed." His favorite apartments at Potsdam, very simply and handsomely furnished, contain no other beds and I presume there is no hope of a reformation. I have just heard from a mutual friend that he recently bought some bedsteads in England. That implies broadguage blankets, quilts and sheets. But this is so revolutionary it is almost al-.rming. Our European cousins, of all nations, so far as I am acquainted with them, persist ently subject themselves to a strange priva tion, that is a perpetual surprise, in the matter of light in their houses. They may brighten the streets and shops with peculiar splendors, but it is the custom to dwell in comparative darkness at home. Of course, this is not universal, but it is prevalent "Why, two candles are an illumination and an extravagance! I called upon American friends. It was just in that hour when solid midnight sets in here (6 o'clock), and when, in response to a ring, the heavy iron door opened with a soft click, there were revealed a few steps, and beyond 'them was darkness. I did not know on what story my friends dwelt, having only the number of the house. After striking several matches it appeared that those sought did not dwell on the first or second floors. More matches were 'struck, and at last the name appeared. There was nothing to say about so strange an adventure. It is th'e way of the town. One has to get the hang of of dark stairways, or stay in first class hotels. . A Nation or Stair Climbers. A friend related a similar experience. He was making a call in a fashionable quar ter, and after lighting hit way to the fourth story of a' large house, and be counted the steps there were 103 of them he entered an aoartment that was brilliantly lighted, and " found a charming circle of ladies in lovely evening costumes. He expected some explanation of his passage np the stairway 103 dark steps, but it was not re garded as remarkable in any respect The people upon whom he was calling were Americans with a superfluity of money, and abroad for personal repose and educa tional facilities. The people are used to the climbing of stairs, and regard it as a form of necessary exercise A residence is not a house, but series of apartments, connected and separate from others. There is a common stairway, and it is guarded by a porter, who watches the one front door, behind which, at various elevations, are half a dozen well-established families. There are probably four floors, with room for a family, perhaps two of them, an each floor. You come to an iron and glass door, say 16 feet high, and ring a belL You are at once under inspection from the lodge of the invisible porter, and if he regards yon as eligible he pulls a lever or turns a crank, and the spring-latch is withdrawn. Then you ascend to the floor where your friends are at home, and ring another'bell, and yon can enter a pri vate nail, though often on this hall there are several parties who merely know each other as neighbors. This is the way to concen trate population and encourage architecture. I know a young man who has not been in Berlin lonsr, and has a lancy for counting the steps he climbs to see his friends. The number of steps ranges from 3 to 111. The average height of eligible apartments is about 70 steps. There are fine accommoda tions in abundance at the height of 125 steps. The Germans picked np the old Boman ways of preparing food, and have grafted upon it notions of their own. Other folks think they spoil much that is good with their queer cooking, but it must be ad mitted they do have correct notions of the value of salads and the excellence of sweets. If they managed the sours as well as the sweets, the general result would be im provement The X.tvlnc In Germany. The meats displayed in the German mar kets are of the best quality, especially the beef; but they use a larger portion of veal than we do that is, they take their beef younger than we particularly relish it They have a good deal of game, many birds, and a large supply of rabbits and hares. There is no lack of fish, and the German lobster may be recommended. The German system of courses runs very readily into elaborate and elegant dinners. The Ameri can idea of beginning the day with a square meal is not as severely discountenanced in Germany as 'in France; but coffee, with bread and butter, and two soft boiled eggs are the regular breakfast; and with this start, of course, luncheon is ot importance. Breakfasting in bedrooms is the style that goes, but I believe in a change of air before coffee, and that it is almost as refreshing as washing the. face. The big dogs of Berlin are a feature, and you hear their music nearly as often as that of your neighbors' pianos. It is some com fort that the dogs of Berlin are big ones, and a pity that such fine fellows have to go always muzzled. The Berlin big dogs are decorative. I have not seen them hitched to carts as in Belgium and some of the Rhenish cities. The Christmas and New Year's festivities of the Germans are carried on'withastonish lug thoroughness and earnestness. Every one, from'the Emperor to- the schoolboys and the servants, participates as though all earthly good understanding depended upon it Cards are Ant by the million, and they are illustrated to suit all grades of senti ment and satisfy all tastes.

Fishing on the Grand Banks is much more dangerous. As Mark Twain says, "The greatest peril which people en counter is not met with in traveling on the railways, but in going to bed. Most people die in bed." Only three expeditions out of the many which have been made have in volved loss of life Franklin's party starved to death mainly because there were too many in it, where Schwatka traveled 3,000 miles away from any base of supplies, living off the country. Greely, whose subordinate officer, Lock wood, attained the furthest north ever reached, beyond 82u north latitude, was subjected to awful sufferings, many of those with him dying, merely" because of tod much red tape in "Washington. If the Navy Department had kept the appointed rendezvous at Cape Sabine, where it had agreed to have a vessel with provisions at a certain date, there would have been no trouble. It is the whalers who encounter most serious penis in the Arctic Ocean. Hardly a year passes when some whaling Tessels are not lost' In 1871 only three ships were saved out of a fleet of 22. No lives were lost, bnt the natives on shore have been using chronometer cases for brass kettles ever since. rOOD AT THX H0ETH P0IX The Eskimo Never Steals Anything and Provisions 'Are SaTe. There is no trouble about living in the polar regions except lack of food supply. No danger exists that the provisions once placed would be disturbed. Among the people who dwell in those frozen regions a cache is sacred. Nothing short of starva tion will compel a native to interfere with one, and even in such a case he leaves pay ment behind for what he takes. Snow shoes and extra clothing are hung up in the open air in summer, and are as safe as the accoutrements which city persons "hang up" at their uncle's during the warm sea son. Seal oil is buried in the ground in bags of skin. Meat is heaped upon platforms built among trees, which are peeled of bark in order to keep bears from climbing up them. Little stioks with sharp points upward are buried in the ice to distract the attention of the bears from the provisions overhead. Another kind of cache is in the shape of a strong pen, the main supports of which are standing trees, with brush and logs piled on top to keep out wild animals. During the salmon-catching season in Arctic Alaska the heads of the fish are cut off and pnt into a hole in the ground. "When they are half putrified they are dug up and eaten, being esteemed a great delicacy. CATARRH AS A CAUSB Of Nervous Debility An American Malady. Debility of the nervous system from in temperate habits of any kind, or exposure to cold, are quite likely to cause a condition of the mucous membranes of the nose and .throat so nearly resembling catarrh that they are practically identical. Also chronic diseases which depress the nervous system will produce the same result, notably female 'weakness. They cause a flabby, pale con dition of the mucous surfaces, with a sticky, stringy mucous secretion, which produce much hawking or coughing, generally called catarrh, bnt the whole trouble is caused by nervous depression, pure and simple. Be sides the usual symptoms of catarrh, the patienthas brown specks before his eyes, slight dizziness, roaring in the ears, attacks of nervous headache, palpitation of the heart, flashes of heat, followed by. slight, chilly sensations, faintness, depression, de spondency, foolish fears, and many other similar ones.

SAWYER'S LUCK 05 THI POTOMAC Bonanza Mackay'a Unostentatious Die at the Capital City. ITBW ST0BT OF SOLD TOM OCHTLTKEE rooaaxsroiroracz of thb DisrA.TOK.1 "Washington-, Feb. 27. The new gold and silver mines which are being developed in Colorado are creating considerable in terest at Washington. A large number of the Senators are interested in one way or another in mining and there are a baker's dozen of them who have financial ventures out on gold or silver seas. Senator Sawyer is still working his gold mines near "Washington. These are about IS miles up the Potomac, where the Sena tor owns about 400 acres of land, and where he has a little stamp mill which runs along pounding the quartz to pieces, but which,'' up to the present writing, has not made a fortune tor its owner. Some large nuggets hav6tbeen found and some of the quartz is very rich, and for a time the average of the stamp mill was $33 a ton. On the whole, however, I understand that the mine has not paid, and it is a repetition of the old story of Southern mines. I interviewed Thomas Edison last summer on the mines of North Carolina and he told me that, none of these mines were valuable enough to pay for working them. Spooner! Nncxets From the South. Still a number of the Senators are invest-, ing in North Carolina mines, and Senator Spooner and the late Senator Hearst had what they considered a Very valuable lead. Spooner had a number of large nuggets of the purest of pure gold which he kept on his library table and showed to his brother Senators when they visited him. There were enough of these nuggets to have filled a quart measure, and they were of all shapes and of different sizes. Senator Plumb had some interests in the South, but he owned some very valuables mines in Colorado, and he was, I think, interested in the Little Pittsburg and other mines at Leadville.' I chatted with Senator Teller -last night about the Colorado mines. He savs that a great deal of line gold bearing rock isbeing gotten out at Cripple Creek under the shad ow of Pike's Peak and that this promises to be one of the great gold camps of the fu ture. People are coming in from every where to'prospect and speculate and two railroads have been surveyed which will open up the region. As it is now,itis only 18 miles from the railroad and there will not be much trouble in connecting it with the rest of the world. Senator Woloott's Good Speculation. Senator Teller says that the new silver mines which have been opened up at Creede, CoL, are of wonderful richness and that the indications are that this locality may be come a second Leadville. It is here that Senator "Wolcott and. bis brother Henry have a mine which thev bought last fall in connection with two other parties for $100, 000. They paid $30,000 cash and were to pay the remaining 570,000 by the 1st of next June. Their mine has paid from the start and they had gotten enough out of it by the middle of January to pay the $100,000 tor which it was sold to' them and all they get now is pure profit"Thc mirie has turned out thousands of dollars a- day, and during the month of January it turned out more than 567,000. The mine cost Senator "Wolcott a cash pay ment of only $7,600, and, if It lasts, it will make him rich. ..This will, however, no t be the first time he has made money in 'mines. He made, it is said, between $100,000 and $200,000 out of a mine he bought In Lead ville, and his brother and himself are said to be among the shrewdest 'of investors and speculators. The 3Ian the Bobber Bulldozed, Senatar Teller says that Dave Moffatt, the Denver millionaire, has large interests at Creede, and that he is making a big thing out of the mine at Leadville, for' which he paid $70,000 shortly before the bank robber bulldozed him out of that $20.- 000 with dynamite, and that this mine, in stead of being a poor investment, has been an excellent oue. Moffatt, it is said, con sidered it worth nothing for some time, and his friends pitied him and condoled with him about his bad purchase. You will remember how the robber drew a pistol on Moffatt in his private room and with this'in one hand and a bottle of some kind of liquid in the other which he said was nitro-glycerine, threatened to blow Mofiatt and the bank up unless he would write out him a check on the bank for $20, 000 and get him the money on it Moffatt looked into the shining barrel of the re volver. He glanced with terror at the curi ously shaped bottle of curiously colored fluid and seeing that there was nothing at his hand with which he could defend him self, he wrote the check and accompanied by the man with the dangerous bottlein his hand, he walked with him to the -cashier's desk and handed over the check to the cashier, saying in a low tone, "This man is robbing me." A Great Bluff With Sweet Oil. , The cashier, however, thought he was re ferring to some new mine he had bought, and his mind went at the time to this $70,- 000 mine which was then though to have turned out badly, and he handed the money over to Moffatt Moffatt gave it to the man and he rushed from the bank and though Moffatt raised a hue and cry, he was able to escape. He threw off his coat in doing so and in it the bottle was found, and the supposed nitro-glycerine turned out to be sweet oil. This thief was never dis covered, but the $70,000 mine speculation which promised so poorly and which in directly aided the villain, has since paid several times as much as Moflatt's loss by him. Ex-Senator Tabor, of Colorado, was In "Washington a few days ago, and during his stay here'h.e said that he was going to make a big fortune out of his Mexican mines, his suits concerning which have just been settled in his favor. These are old mines which are being reworked, and Tabor paid, 1 am told, $90,000 for his Interest in them, and he contracted at the same time to put up stamp mills, and to build such machinery as would enable them to go in at the side of the mountain and get right at the great vein of ore in that way. Tabor became a million aire in a month once, but it is said he made $1,300,000 out of the Little Pittsburg in four months. The Great Senatorial Scandal. Senator Tabor might have had a fair reputation as a business man and as a practical millionaire had he kept out of politics. But he lost his head when he made his millions in less than a month and nothing but a spick-span new wife and a famous position would satisfy him. The story of his divorce from the woman wi'th whom he had lived and worked. all his life, of his marriage in a juttice-of-peace's office in St Louis to a divorced woman and the joke which he perpetrated upon President Arthur and. "Washington society when he brought this woman to "Washington and here married her, as it was supposed for the first 'time, would make one of the most interesting plays that could be based on American history. And what has beeome of the first Mrs. Tabor? In the suit for alimony which she entered against Tabor she was granted with her divorce something like $400,000-worth of Denver real estate. This was deeded, over to her and with the growth ot the city it has so increased in value that she is now worth more than a million. She is a woman of high character and she impresser you as being kind, intelligent and motherly. She moves about in the best society of Denver. I understand'that Tabor is crazy to get back to the Senate. Unostentatious "Bonanza Mackay. Speaking of mining kings, the greatest of them has been spending the past week at "Washington. He has lived quietly at Chamberlain's and has not tried to pose as a social figure, nor as one of the little great men who hang about Congress and the "White House. This man is John "W. Mackay, who now at the age of 57, is as active physically and intellectually as when a boy of 17 in 1852 he sailed around Cape Horn to try his fortune in California. He had a remarkable series of ups and downs, an'd he had made several fortunes and lost them before he was 30 years old. About this time, in connection with Fair, Flood and O'Brien, he struck the Big Bonanza, and since then he has been one of the great millionaires of the world. There are a few mines In the world which paid so large an amount in so short a time as the Bonanza mines. In four years the Consolidated Virginia, in which Mr. Mackay was one of the partners, payed fll dividends, agcregating more than $42,000,000, and the California, another of his mines, paid at this same time more than $31,000,000. Some time ago Mackay said to a friend that he took $150,000,000 Out of a Single Hole in Virginia City, and no one but himself knows just how much be has made out of minintr. He has invested his money and he has kept his millions moving. One of the Ercaicsii csuic compauics ui iua ivuriu ib largely due to his pluck, brains and busi ness tact, and the story of his investments and his enterprises would fill columns. He is a man of fine culture, a lover of paint ings and thoroughly simple and unostenta tious in all his ways. Speaking of Mackay, reminds me of a new story I heard of Tom Ochiltree not long ago. Ochiltree has been lor years con nected with Mackay as one of his agents, and at the time the following incident oc curred he was in London trying to place some bonds of a railroad which Mackay had in Texas. Judge Normile, of the United States District Court of St Louis, tells me the story. Kormile and Ochiltree crossed the ocean together, and when the ship arrived at Queenstown, they tele graphed to the four or five principal hotels in London asking them to reserve rooms for them and to answer at Liverpool. At Liverpool they found that every one of these hotels Was full. It was the last of May, the time when London is most crowded, and they found when they ar rived in London that accommodations could be gotten nowhere. Tom Ochiltree's Great BInK They went to the Langham, but found every room taken, and they were in de spair.' Going into the wine room they sat down, had a brandy and soda and discussed the situation. Both were terribly blue, and for a time said1 nothing. "At last," said Judge Kormile, "I was surprised to see Ochiltree jump to his feet His complex ion became redder than his hair, his swag ger was overpowering, and he cocked that left eye of his as he looked at me, and in a vindictive and excited tone said: " 'Normile, why don't you get ns a room?

"While we were drinking this I concluded there might be something in his scheme. He had letters from President Arthur and I thought I could impose on the ignorance of the clerk. At the close of the 'glass I went out to the office, and, waiting until there was no, one at the little door in the grating, I stepped up and, begging the pardon of the manager, asked him if I could have a word with him. He replied: 'Certainly,' and asked me to come in. I went in and, put ting an indignant look on my face, I said: A Picture of a National Hero. ""'Sir, I have just passed through the wine-room of your hotel. You pretend to be an American hotel and have the patronage of Americans. But I saw in that room a sight that surprised me.

A Decision as to the Ancient lair on Kin dling; Fires on Sunday. A curious point, involving an important Church rite has just been discussed in Eng land. A strict Hebrew will not kindle a fire on the Sabbath, although sometimes he has no objection to allow a Christian to do it for him. But the question arises: May he turn on an Incandescent lamp? This puzzling query has been put to Prof. Will lam Crookes, who, after pointing out that the sacredneis of fire and flame in the old Eastern religions was always intimately connected with combustion, has decided that the glow of the electrio lamp does not come within this description. This is an ingenious way of getting out of the difficulty. An obstructionist might say; "How if the lamp derives its incandescence from a dynamo, which is worked by steam, which, in its turn, is produced by the com bustion of coal?" None the less is humanity at large indebted to Prof. Crookes for his solution of the question. TOTAL ABSTINENCE NEWS, - Whzbs Is the Publio Meeting Committee?

THE PROBABLE WINNER IS ITAHED. Hopeful Signs of a Settlement of the Trouble Among-the Amateur Athletes. THE WESMBir LEAGUE'S BAD POLICI Doubtless everybody at all Interested In sporting matters is anxiously waiting the result of 'Wednesday night's battle between Fitzsimmons and Maher. It is wonderful the interest there has deyeloped in the affair, and only shows what skillful adver tising can d in bringing latter day boxers to the front and getting for them as much money for a big glove contest as wonld have kept old-time pugilists going for a life time. I was just reading the other day about the efforts necessary to get together 25 sovereigns as a stake to match Tom Sayers against Collins. It really took seven persons to contribute to the stakes before the famous champion's portion was complete. And he went into a severe course of training for that battle, and of course won 25 sovereigns from the Collins party. Just fancy a battle like that for 250 all told and nowadays a couple of youths who were only selling matches on the street the other dav would be Insulted were they asked to fight four or six rounds for a f 1,000 pnrse or anything like it Here we have Peter Maher fighting for a pnrse of 110,000 and he has never fought anything like a real battle in his life. I don't mention this in disparagement of Maher, not at all. I only mention it to point out that he is a very fortunate man to be living among those who are deemed the pugilists of to day. I know of no man' who has come so rapidly into prominence without doing first class work as Peter Maher. He has sud denly jumped out of obscurity and leaped into an arena to contest for the big sum of $10,000. When such inducements are held out who can blame "managers," schemers yr whatever they may "be, for misrepresent ing, blowing, defying, or in short anything that will bring their proteges prominently before the public and make that public be lieve a veritable fighting wonder has finally landed among us. If the publio is willing to pay the piper of course we will never be short of those wonders wbo'Seldom do, but who' are always a-going to knock everything and everybody out of sight. 'Probabilities or the Battle. But no matter how easily Maher may have stepped to prominence the fact re mains that he is to meet Fitzsimmons next Tuesday evening. The question is what will he do? A correct answer to that is what we want, and I suppose is what we'll not get until Tuesday's contest is over. Three weeks ago I had much to say as to the probable ontcome of the contest. At that time I was inclined toward the chances of Fitzsimmons and aften thinking every thing over as carefully as I can I am still sd inclined. It is qnite true that many of the ablest judges of pugilistio , matters think otherwise, but despite that fact I cannot avoid the conviction that Maher does not know sufficient about fighting to defeat the very active and tncky Australian. If the contest was going to be one in which Maher , could always be within reach of Fitzsim mons the Irish champion couldn't well lose. But what I rely on most is the fact of Fitzsimmons' activity. We know that he is a very clever fellow and has good judg ment He displayed both against Demp sey, and we also know that many 'very clever men often tried, to corner Demnsey and couldn't Fitzsimmons did it in' very short order. Well, then, u tbe Australian brings into play his cleverness Maher may be bothered much more than he is anticipa ting. His calculations mav be all upset, and when this is the case in a prize ring the disappointed man very often gets "muddled." I have seen it happen often. If this difficulty should overtake Maher he will be beaten. Begirding the respective weiehts of the men I have little to say be cause I do not think that the difference is of very much importance. If the Australian is in good condition at the weight he will fight at he should be heavy enongh to tackle anybody. But Maher may be a wonder and if he. is my selection will be wrong. If be is as clever as Fitzsimmons I will be mistaken. The trouble is that we don't know bufficient about Maher and I content myself with tbe belief that he is not class enough to cope with Fitzsimmons. The betting on the re sult is euro to he heavy and those of us who make bad predictions need not blush, be cause the cpntest is certainly a difficult one to deal with. Kyan and Keedham. The Maher and Fitzsimmons affair has taken almost all interest out of the Byan and Needham contest which Is to take place to morrow evening. It is extremely pleasing that the date has been changed, because if these two welter weights had contested In opposition to the bigger attraction they would have had a very slim patronage; cer tainly a patronage much below what they are worth. Ryan and Needham are both good pugi lists; they are much superior to the modern, glovo boxers whom we know as "great pugilists," and they both have .fought soma very hard battles. They have met before, and then Byan'was hailed the victor after an argument ot 73 rounds. Needham com plained that lack or condition lost him the battle; but the contest was really too long for that excuse to have ranch weight. He is reported as being in very good condition this time, and so is Byan. This is satisfac tory, and, both men being all right, I want to put myself on record as saying that Byan will win. Jackson's Ssparture. Peter Jackson quietly left our shores lor England to get ready for his proposed con test with Slavln on May SO. Peter's stoofc has gone wonderfully down in the United States during the last year or two. His star has been on the wane ever since he failed to defeat Corbett in their miserable affair and particularly since Corbett has made such poor efforts at fighting. For the life of me I cannot see how Jaokson Is going to defeat Siavtn. The Britishers have a very high opinion of Jackson simply because they saw him at his best, and at that time he was a good one and no mistake. But time has not dealt with Peter as it does with wine. Peter has not improved and I question very much whether he could have Deaten Slavln when he, Jackson, was at his best. Bnt I still have a notion that strong efforts will be made to stop the contest in London. Fnglllsts In General. Mitchell and Slavln continue to dodge round and make money. In this respect they are like all others of their class, only Mitchell is much shrewder than anybody else. Their appearance at New Orleans Wednesday night Is nothing more nor less than a business engagement to make money. Whoever they meet will amount to very lit tle. And I am fully persuaded that they will leave this country without meeting any body except on purely "business" terms. They would be foolish to do anything else whea they can obtain lots of money without fighting for blood. It looks certain that Joe McAullffeand Goddard will meet, and it is a pity that bet ter material than the "Missouri Boy" could not be had to put against Goddard. He has dona great things in Australia. There is one man who, remains idle that doubtless all of us would like to see get a thorough testing. I refer to Jim Hall. He has been in this country quite a while, and has never yet had a good opportunity to show us what he con do. lam inclined to th.lnk.that Hall is a. better man. than Fitz simmons. He is a stronger man, and from what some excellent judges tell me, he is lust as clever. But as fur as I am aware he Is not anxious to fight strictly at welght,and he is big enough to meet -ahy body. He de clares bis anxiety to fight Corbett, and were they to, meet In a 24-ioot ring nndervP. B. rules I would almost stake my life on. flail. It Is to be hoped that be will get a real en gaxement'one of these days. Everything is quiet among the little fel lows. There was a likelihood the other day of a contest between Fred Johnson and George Dixon. 3ut things negln to look un certain again. If' these two champions are in earnest about a battle it really is surpris ing that they cannot come to terms. I'm sure purees quite big enough have been of fered them. An Interesting Boat Bace. Quito an Interesting boat race took place on tbe Tyne, .England, about two weeks ago. It is interesting, because it to a great extent explodes the notion that the London people had a coming champion in Haines. Headers of Thi Dispatch read a few days ago about a letter Billy Spencer, of London, had sent Wallace Boss, remarking that Haines, of Windsor, was the "coming man." When Wallace told ma that, I ventured the opinion that two youngsters at least on the Tyne could beat him. The match race above referred to was won by Ralph Carr. who Is quite a powerful Tower, out not a coming champion, I fear, because be has been too long out. The lace was In "working" boats, and the betting was heavy at 2 to 1 on Haines. They rowed two miles and Haines was very badly beaten. They are to row again in best and best boats over the full championship course, and this may be more favorable to Haines. If Carr wins again then we may fully ex pect to get him and East matched to row for the English chimpionsbip. There are scores of runners In England, and it is really re markable that no real champion sprinter springs from the lot A. Worthy Ammteur Athletic Club. The local public seldom hears about the West End athletes. What I mean by the West End is the vicinity of Saw Mill Bun. In that locality there is an amateur athletic club, and it has a good roll of membership. But the club has at various times met with difficulties, and while the difficulties have not been fatal they have been very dis tressing. But those West Enders are pluckv fellows, and they are still to the front and they mean to make tbemse'ves more prominent than they have iver been. They are going to have an indoor athletic entertainment at which some of the best local talent will perform. I am also In formed that tbe club contains some material that can be developed in prominent com petitors in almost all the branches of ath letics. This being so. these very promising members of the West End Gymnasium should make their minds up to have a try for every thing in sight. They must never be afraid of being defeated. No good club was made In a day or even a season. Many good athletic clnbs that stand high to-day bad to struggle long and arduously for their laurels. Let the West Enders come before the public and make a beginning. Other clubs will help them. By all means let them enter all the local contests when field meet ings are held. Wiien they are known they mav make progress, butwhen nobody knows of them at all their chances of success will be very small Indeed. Quite a Hoperul Sign. On several occasions I have bad a few words to say about the trouble among tbe amateur athletes. I am now very happy to say that there Is a very hopeful sign of the trouble being smoothed over. At least the (Manhattan Club officials are wisbiul for a conference to see if the A. A. u. cannot come to some understanding that will put things in the right way again. Tbe turn affairs were taking were Indeed very threatening to the stability of the A. A. V., and the proposed meeting of the malcon tents would doubtless have been held had the Manhattan Club not hesitated until all efforts at reconciliation had been exhausted. The M. A C. did a very manly thing, and the club offlcliUs deserve credit for it. Without doubt the big athletic organizations have bad reason to rebel on more than one occa sion, but to try and break, everything up without trying to mend matters is a foolish way or procedure. It may be that the meet ing of A. A. TJ. governors, which is to be held on .March 8, will bring about a satisfactory termination of the no pleasantness. The Manhattan's Complaints. It will not be out of place here to give the Manhattan side of the case. Mr. Hughes, Secretary or tbe club, says: "Yes, I have asked for a special meeting to consider our propositions. The Manhattan A C. does not seek to displace or force out anybody. Let Mr. Sullivan be Secretary and Mr. Curtis Treasurer. But tbe club does want what is due to it It is one of the largest clubs in the country, and yet It is not represented on the Governing Board of the A. A. U. For two years this has been the case. Let the A. A. XT. change its constitu tion and by laws so that each association shall bavo four delegates, with a tacit under standing that the New York and Mabattan Athletlo Clubs be represented, they being the two largest clubs in 'this association." f "Then let there be legislation whereby there will he a Long Island and a Western New York Association, and a compromise with the Western Association of Amateur Athletes and the Seventh Regiment A. A; in met, bring all athletic bodies under one governing board and do away with all exlst lg difficulties. It can all be done by a proper revision, of the union's constitntion and by-laws. "Athletics are in a position where they should be fostered and nurtured. Harmony Is needed. The Mills reorganization scheme has been tried and its .strong and weak points shown. Let the weak parts be elimi nated and the whole athletic world made stronger. By so doing Mr. Sullivan would be stronger In his office and Mr. Curds in his. 1 think that what the Manhattan A. C. asks Is nothing if not fair, and It is hoped that the A A. U. will recognize its claim, ln asmuon as there is not a large athletlo club in the organization which is not represented on the Governing Board." Some Grasping Magnates. But those Western magnates are so grasp ing as to ba extremely Inconsistent. While they have resolved to value the services of their players at a very low estimate as far as paying salaries is concerned,they have de cided to put a much higher value on them whenanybody else wants them. They want the major leagues to pay $1,000 per player for every man taken from the minor leazues. and further, those players can only be taken between November land February 1. Did ever anybody hear of such a monstrously unfair proposition. Why, these Western- magnates are almost getting down to the level of a Simon Legree. Tbelr aim is to knock all individuality out of a player, and the next thing we'll hear of a move to keep the players as old-time apprentices were kept viz.: Give them nothing but board and lodging and a suit of clothes in the year. After keeping them this way they can be sold for$I,000 per head. If the new League encourages any such squeezing, cheap-Jack and greedy methods as proposed by the Western League, It may live to see the day when it will regret It A national agreement should have for its object the welfare of the ball player as well as the welfare of anything or anybody else, and anyagreement that Indorses the plans of the Western Leagne as voiced by Presi dent Williams will be unfair and unjust, and will eventually lead to a dissatisfaction that will bring trouble as serious as we have already had. It Is a pity that In formulating plans of organization by that prize-package method, the Western League magnates ap parently did not take the Interests or the players Into consideration at all.- Every new feature is more or less opposed to the players' interests, and this Is a foolish policy. I am glad to find that there are some of the new League magnates generous and fair minded enough to stick up for tbe play ers' side of It, and I trust they will fight for It The "drafting" system, as proposed by Colonel Rogers, is nothing more than a fair treatment of the player. While it would probably be a temporary inconvenience to a ciud lor tne major league to laxe a promis ing player, it would be a greater Injury to the player to keep him working for a pit tance when he was worth and could get a good salary. When the players' side is pre sented matters are different, you see. But there Is another Inconsistency among the Western retrenchers. They have stated that the great object of their lottery bag system is to equalize the teams. Now when a pitcher, for instance, develops into such form as to down all opposition, bis team must get away beyond tbe line of equality; the equilibrium will be knocked on tho head. Then there will ba two very nndesir- ,1anfl nnfulr rrmrHtfnn Axisin!T. Firsts there will be a good pitcher being robbed of money that he could otherwise get as sal ary, and, second, there wonld be that equal ity or team destroyed. This is the logical result of what the Western graspers are contending for. Their propositions and de mands are so palpably unlalr and unreason able that It wiU be a pity if they are granted. The Big Meetings. To be sure there will be much Interest cen fered in baseball matters this week. To morrow the committee having in charge tbe formulating of a national agreement will meet and on Tuesday the schedule-meeting will take place. Both are important, and I dare say everybody Interested in the game will be anxiously waiting to hear what tbe schedule proposes. I do not anticipate that Pittsburg wiU get all the good things; In deed I will be surprised if she gets anything like a fair share. Pittsburg Is not next the throne during this regime, and I suppose we we will have to take the crumbs that fall from the table. But the schedule will be interesting inas much as it will give us an idea of the fair dealing spirit ot the clique that now rule. If it Is not founded on fairness, depend upon It a storm will brew that will be strong enot next lull to do lots of damage. The truth there la a vast amount ot suspicion conce lng many of tbe new League magnates, a such "diplomatic" gentlemen aa Char Byrne must act very carefully or also thi will be an explosion. And the Pittsburg officials mean to fi for Lyons; that Is they mean to have the a argued so as to see wherein they erred they erred at all, in signing Lyons. T Is a very wise resolve, as it will be put record as the ruling in a case that has cant very muoh'discussion. Local Club Affairs. The local players continue to work hs and they are rapidly getting Into condltic Good accounts are coming from those w are at Hot Springs, and we know that the who are at home are doing well. It will well for all the players to get into as go condition as possible, because much will i pend on their early worjE regarding whett or not they will be retained. Manager Bui enbergers confidence in the team is lucre ing daily and President Temple is more ho; ful now than he ever was. The indications are that there win tx vast amount of enthusiasm here in. the eai part of the season, and as soon as itisi termlned what players will compose o team we will be able to Judge as to how Io that enthusiasm will last It would bard be fair to speculate as to who will and w will not be retained, but I may fairly s that If we get one good pitcher besides o tried men we will be lucky. I mean that either Camp or Woodcock turns out i right the club will be In luck, because, ai rule, lots or youngsters have to be tried I fore a good one is secured. The pltehl element Is the most uncertain, and when ' get satisfied as to tbe quality of ouxpitcher a great source of anxiety will nave been i moved. Paraou XEZ POBTSBHOrSE 8TZAX.
