The Republican Convention Hall of "92 was opened to the general public to-uight with an event long anil pleasingly anticipated in local and inusica! circles a grand concert by a chorus or 1,090 loices, supported by the Second liegiment Baud, ot Chicago. A vast audi ence numbering over 12,009 people, and filling every seat for distances as far as the eye could reach, surveyed the inspiring tcene which bids fair to become a memora l!e political battle ground. Striking changes have been made in the interior apartments of the Exposition build ing, which is the boast of Minneapolis. Surrounding the walls on every side rise teats in tier., giving to the hall a greater width than depth, with rectangular corners. 1o decorations as prepared for the conven lion are extremely simple but very beau tiful. At four conspicuous places American flags are ie&iooncd under old cold hangings and patriotic effects. The hall may be con sidered to be quite as large as was the un wieldly temporary structure built at Chi cago for the Republican convention of 18S0. In that hall the convention sat lengthwise of the building. To-night, however, the stage with itb great military band, its piano and its thousand voices spreading and re treating to the eastern upper walls, filled aw entire breadth of the chamber. IcIt Kvcelves a Grand Ovation. At 8 o'clock, upon the conclusion of the overture of the opera of "Rienzi," the audience was well seated and received the opening number with every evidence ot delight. Various choruses and solo3 preceded the speech of Hon. Chauncey 3d". Depew, who'.e coming was hailed with such an uproar as onlv many thousand persons can make. Mr. Depevr said it had been his T'ririieie to voice the spirit and meaning of various occasions at the dedication oi build ings occupied by literature, art industry, education, religion, science and philantkivpuT, and continued: I Iiuto Hktn ai itio laying of corner Mones oi t'nictme-i w Incli were to be the fcotiie? o mighty new -papers; wliloli Hereto nlnr-i- tjit: oppoi tunnies of education upon lit- tikt scholasiie lais anct upon the new ncl more practical principle ol manual Hailing niiicti were to concentrate the commercial activities tif the continent; w :i .eh w ! toprovidu for snffcriiiir limnaii iti: but tins.

By which one of these metaphors he Intended to refer to Cleveland and which one to Hill, ho does not say, but he leaves the Demoeiatic voters who aro seckins light and safety in tho condition of the coloicd convert when the preacher de clared that bo had hell on one side and damnation on tho other. Then says he, Dis d.ukiy takes to do woods." But the Republicans are embarrassed with liches. Ohio, as the mother of Presidents and mi-stress of offices, has upon this plat tnrmndmirablo qualifications for tho Chief Magistracy in Governor McKlnley. She has a statcsui.iii w hose creatix e mind has formu lated tho best legislation or the country, and wlio-o name will live torever n one ot thocreatest of American statesmen John blieriuan.

There are two names which at present belong to no State, but to the country. One, that singularlv fitted statesman who has contnbuted so much to the inipioveinent of ojr industrial possibilities and the sjlory of American diplomacy James G. Blame. A IJoom for the President. Tho other, that level-headed, wise and eloquent soldier. Senator and rresident,who upon the platform or the people and m tlio chair of the magistrate has maintained tne best traditions of the Picsideu tal office Benjamin Harrison. The Re publican party is united in its policy in every part of the Union, except where, here and there, the bugle may give a shriller note because there Is moie silver on the instrument. The Democratic party is hopelessly di vided upon its industrial policy and on the crucial question of sound finance and hon est currency. A Democratic voter, anxious to understand what his party believes, who reads first Cleveland with clear utterances on the ono side and then eiht-tenths of his party leaders with their emphatlo declara tions on the other, and then studies Gov ernor Hill's masterly balancing on the finan cial fence, will be mentally In tho inebriated condition of the alcoholized chamois of the Swiss mountains who jumps from Jag to jag. It is eminently fitting ancLnroper that this Eieit hall, which was built to house the mo- ducts ot the factory and the farms or Minne sota, should be dedicated to the use of a .National Convention for the Kepublican party. Tlie Kepublican party has solved tho problem ot the harmonious activities and the mutual prosDerity of the farm and the factory. It represents that industrial energy auu usefully employed capital which are so rapidly developing the resouices of our country," with employment and good wanes, to the laboier and ever-increasing homes to tho thrifty and industrious. There is some thing sublime in the significance of this ex hibition of a great people governing them selves. It can be equaled in grandeur onlv by tho gatheiing Horn the sea and tlio land ot those who will respond to the last tramp when the assembled universe stands before tho Great Judge. Watched by the American People. Its deliberations will be watched with equal interest by friend and foe. They will be carelully studied by the lovers of liberty all over the world. May partisanship, with out passion, individual Judgment mado def erential to the views of others, and patri otic effort for the right, so guide and control the action of this convention that its nomi nees and principles shall command tho sup poit and leceivo the appiobjtion of the American people Tremendous applause. 3Ir. Depew's allusions to various possible Presidental candidates were received with various degrees of applause. When he spoke of John Sherman there was a round of cheers. Michigan's Alger was greeted with applause as were also Allison, liusk and Lincoln. When he had reached the point where better known names were to come, a voice m the gallery shouted "Hur rah for Blaine," and the audience broke out into a wild burst of checrinc, waving of handkerchiefs and swinging ot umbrellas. Mr. Depew inquired with a grimace: "I wonder wiio is running this speech any how?" aud the audience received this ad monition with a hurricane of laughter and cheers. Mr. Depew's mention of President Harrison's name elicited from the great audience a demonstration of cheers, um brellas and handkerchiefs, which, if any thing, passed that which was given to Mr. lilaiue. The entertainment closed about 10 o'clock with the singing by the vast audience of the national hymn, "America." PICKED UP BY THE POLICE. Walter Burke was arrested lastnight for beating his wife.

Carlisle Fays ths Ix-Secretary Would Be the Easiest to Eeat. DEMOCRATIC INTEREST IX THE FIGIIT ff FECIAL TILIGRAM TO TUF. DISPATCU.l Washington, June G. On the eve of the Minneapolis Convention there is natur ally a great deal of interest telt and ex pressed here, particularly as the two lead ing candidates nre still entrenched within the rival camps on either side of Pennsyl vania avenue; but the popular excitement which was so marked on Saturday has sub sided in a great measure, and the only places where activity in regard to the Presi dcntal struggle was noticeable to-day were the White House and the Blaine residence. The most salient development to-dar was Secretary Busk's authoritative announce ment that he would not allow the use of his name at Minneapolis, "either singly or in combination," so long as the President was in the race. This knocks out a good many promising calculations lopking to the pro duction of the Secretary's name at the bottom ot the Blaine ticket or at the top of a compromise ticket. Harrfsonltes Claim It on Ono Ballot. This declaration was received with much pleasure by the Harrison men, who exhibit renewed confidence to-day and assert with much positiveness that their inside news from Minneapolis points to the President's nomination bv a good majority on the first ballot There has been a good deal of talk among Congressmen and others to-day about the probability of the nominatiou of a third candidate, but this idea finds no favor at either headquarters as yet. The President has issued positive and final instructions to his friends at Minneapolis this afternoon to stand to their guns firmly, and has signified his determination to fight it out to the end. There have been many conferences at the White House between the President and his chief lieutenants, Secretaries Elkins and Foster and niahy others, and extended conferences with Minneapolis by wire, all looking to this end. At the Blaine head quarters Mr. Milliken and the other chieftains of the ex-Secretarv have put in a good day's work likewise, and the reports from that source are fully as hopeful as those from the President's camp. How the Itivals Spent tbe Day. Senator Uale says to-day he feels surer than ever of the nomination of Blaine, and this opinion is expressed by all the other prominent Blaine adherents who still re main in the city. The Blaine headquarters at Washington will soon be broken up, how ever, as it is the nresent intention of Mr. Blaine to start for the North to-morrow. He has passed an uneventful, though busy, day, and this evening took a short drive, ap pearing to be in remarkably good trim. The President varied the exercises by driving out to the ball game this afternoon between the Cincinnati and Washington clubs in company with Secretary Foster. Although not so vociferous as the Kepub licans just now, the Democrats are taking fully as much interest in the proceedings at Minneapolis as do their political rivals. As they intend to have a hand in the Novem ber elections themselves, it may make a good deal of difference to them who the Ke publitans elect for their standard-bearer, and they are, accordingly, awaiting devel opments with the keenest interest Sneaking generally, the Democratic Con gressmen and politicians at Washington are almost a unit in the belief that their chances of success in November hve been materially improved since last Saturday, rfhoever the Republicans nominate. Carlisle Talks of the Prospects. The opinion among leading Democrats here, as discussed in conversation to-day and yesterday, seems to be that, on the whole, Blaine would be easier to beat than Harrison, although this opinion is not by any means unanimous. The Dispatch's correspondent had an interview with Senator Carlisle, of Ken tucky, to-day, whose opinion, besides being that "of one of the most acute and experi enced politicians in the Democratic party, may also be taken as a good average repre sentation of Democratic opinion here. He said it is impossible for him to decide as to who the probable nominee at Minneapolis would be. If Republicans could not pre dict the result. Democrats certainly could not be expected to. The only thing that the resignation set tled was that Mr. Blaine was certainly a candidate. He did not announce himself as such, but H was morally certain that that was the intention itnd the interpretation of the resignation. Senator Carlisle did not believe that that action made Mr. Blaine's nomination sure, as some of his friends were inclined to believe. The Resignation a Two-Edged Sword. It was a sharp action, but it would be found to cut both ways. It would enthuse his friends, but it would alienate still fur ther his opponents, and would tend to bind more closely together the friends of the President. How it would result he could not say; but, speaking as a Democrat, he sincerely hoped that the convention would nominate Mr. Blaine. He was aware that many Democrats differed with him, but he himself certainly thought Mr. Blaine the weaker candidate as compared with the President. Senator Carlisle further remarked he be lieved the Democrats could and would de feat Mr. Blaine or the President, if nomi nated. If a third candidate should be nominated the resutt would be more uncer tain, of course, because there would be much less to judge from in makinz calcula tions as to the campaign. If the Bepublic ans should nominate Senator Sherman, or Mr. Lincoln, or Governor McKinley, or any other man wno had never run for President before and who was in himself a strong man, it would be more difficult to forecast the result; but the Senator still believed that whoever was nominated at Minneapolis the Democratic party had an unusually good chance to win. The Next Secretary of State. This statement of opinion is echoed with certain variations and modifications by al most every prominent Democrat whom one can meet in this city now. The question as to Mr. Blaine's successor is still so overshadowed by the Presidental fight that it is comparatively little dis cnbsed. The report that Secretary Tracy may be promoted to the head ot the State Department has, however, many elements of plausibility. Mr. Tracy is no stranger to the State Department work, for he has been, the right bower of the President in the correspondence with Italy, Chile and Great Britain during the long illness of Mr. Blaine. The President has been greatly pleased by the keenness of his intuition and the soundness of his judgment in dealing with great public question's. 3So appoint ment will be made until after the Minneap olis convention, when the President will know whether he is named a man tor only eight months or with the possibility that he may serve four years. While it has "been generally understood that the action taken on Saturday by Mr. Blaine, in resigning from the State Depart ment, was to be construed as an announce ment of hisopen candidacy for the nomina tion at Minneapolis, there has been no direct statement up to to-day to that effect from Mr. Blaine himself. It can, however, be authoritatively stated to-night that he has this alternoon communicated with his lieutenants in the convention city, declar ing his candidacy and asking them to sup port him for the nomination. Harrison Will Mot Wlihdraw. Washington, June 6. Private Secre- J tary Halford says that the alleged letter from President Harrison to Senator Cullom directing the withdrawal of his (Harri son's) name in case he is not -nominated on the first ballot, is an absolute forgery, with out a scintilla of foundation. HOMELESS AND DESTITUTE. Families Who Lost All Their Possessions Widows, Children and the Fath-rless Loft Without the Necensarles of Life More to lie Beard From Tet. Oil City, June 6. .Special. The loss can scarcely be estimated as yet. In the burned districts termed "The Flats" and "The Bend", there was nothing saved, and when it is remembered that the property was, in many in stances, owned or partially owned by individuals of small means and whose lives have been one continual struggle ragatnst starvation, and that they only managed to purchase little property by the most privations, it may easily ceived what their loss means. pieces of stringent be con- The list of the utterly destitute has- been hard to ob tain as the people here did not know the unfortunate ones and they who did know seem to have lost their self-possession. The list from the Bend as far as I can learn is as follows: John Lowden, family of three, houses totally destroyed with all the wearing aonarel. furniture and food; Mrs. Lizzie An derson, with babe, lost everything:. T. Mc- Hale, familv of three, lost "everything in- eluding food and clothing; Patrick lfrauy, familv of three, lost house, furniture and clothing: Constable Adam Fleischmann, lost property and all the contents; Mrs. William Pollock lost every thing, McHale family of three, lost every thing; Thomas family of three, lost a small store which he opened last week.

Tlie Baptist Treacher Who Made a Sensa tion in Two States. Beaver Falls, June 6. .VperfaZ. This afternoon Charles Weir, Financial Secretary of the Jr. O. U, A. it, of this place, received a telegram from Mrs. Bris tol, of Oil City, stating that her husband, Rev. J. W. Bristol, was a victim of the great disaster there Satur day night He was burned to death. The deceased was a member of the Jr. O. U. A. M. of this place, and the lodge will render his widow' financial aid ai it seems that she has almost nothing left. Rev. Mr. Bristol is the minister who got into so many difficulties with his flock in Indiana and also in this town. He was tried here by the session of the Baptist Church, and " was fully exonerated from all charges. He then caused a big sensation by resigning from the Baptist ministry, and denounced the cardinal points in its doctrine in language of tlje most em phatic kind. At a meeting of the Minis terial Association of the Baptist Church, held here some months ago, he was refused a letter ot recommendation. In spite of all he had many friends here who only con sidered him eccentric. He was engaged iu selling books while in Oil City. TWO COMPANIES TJNDEE 0RDEES.

New Orleans Picayune. Some time ago an educated colored den tist, Philip T. Gross, sailed from Baltimore to establish himself in Liberia. A letter has lately been received from him giving his opinion, of the country. It is a beauti ful country, he says, reasonably healthy, with a fertile soil and valuable resources, but wholly undeveloped, and that millions of dollars must be spent before much return can be expected. A few ot the negroes who. are there, merchants and coffee raisers are doing tolerably well, but the vast majority are in poverty and suffering. The Government is inefficient Prices are very high. Wages are very low, and as money is scarce laborers have to take their wages out in trade. The schools are as good as none at all. Mr. Gross is sorry he ever left the United States and would advise any negro to stay away from Liberia. Hugh Curry's Sentence Staved Off. Washington, Pa., June 6. Special Hugh Curry was to have been taken into court this afternoon at 2 o'clock ana sen tenced for arson. The attorneys for Hugh pleaded that the Court suspend judgment until to-morrow. The request was granted, and it now seems probable that the matter will be left in the hands of the arbitrators. On Saturday night-last a barn was burned on the place owned by Hugh Curry.

Mrs. Buchanan died April 23 at a house purchased, it is understood, with money given to Dr. Buchanan by her after their marriage. She was attended by Drg. Henry P. Watson and B. C. Mel'ntyre. They were not called until the day preceding her death. Mrs. Childs, a professional nurse, was employed to care for Mrs. Buchanan only a tew hours before her death. The, physicians said that Mrs. Buchanan's death was due to cerebral hem- hage, and Dr. Watson signed a certificate to that effect About a month after Mrs. Buchanan's death, Dr. Buchanan went to Halifax, N. S.,and remarried hi3 divorced wife, whom he had not seen, so far as is known, for about two years before his second marriage. It is said, however, that he corresponded with her and occasionally sent her money. A Woman's Wanderings aad Husbands. The woman who died on April 23 had a checkered career. She was a native of Easton, Pa., of respectable parentage. She became the wife ef a" Baptist minister named Braden. He left her in poverty, and after several years of widowhood she married Henry Rickcr, a shoemaker. They lived in Easton. Ricker was shiftless and dissipated. Their house gained an ill-repute and was raided by the police, and Ricker and his wife moved to Newark. Mrs. Ricker's house in Newark was finally broken up by the police. Then she" sent Rickcr back to Easton, osteusibly to hire a house for her. He did not hire a house and she never joined him in Easton. She never lived with Ricker again. He had become a cripple and unable to care for himself, and one of his brothers gave him a home until his death. Meanwhile Mrs. Ricker was keeping a house in Newark. It is said she married a man named Smith, though she knew her husband, Ricker, was living. In tact, when she married Dr. Buchanan ou or about November 28, 1890, Ricker was still living. In Newark she called herself Mrs. Annie B. Sutherland, and said she "was a widow. She was generally known, however, to the frequenters of her house as "Mrs. S." A Former Iiover Raises a Question. The house that she kept in Halsey street was not disturbed bv the police. No one apparently knows how she came by the name of Sutherland. After Dr. Buchanan had remarried his divorced wite in Halifax he returned to his home in West Eleventh street with her. James M. Smith, of Newark, who is faid to have been a former lover a"d one time a reputed husband ot Mrs. Sutherland, called upon Coroner Messemer of this city about three weeks ago and said he hail learned that three days before her marriage to Dr. Buchanan, Mrs. Sutherland had made a will in Buchanan's favor. She was worth a. least 525,000, Smith said. Smith suggest ed that an inquiry be made to learn if Mrs. Buchanan had not died from poison administered by Dr. Buchanan. Smith finally put his statement into the form of an affidavit. This the Coroner submitted to District Attorney Nicoll, because the woman had been buried out ot the county. Mr. Nicoll began a formal in quiry. Investigation showed that Dr. Buchanan had married the woman to get her wea'th. After Smith's charges were made public, that Dr. Buchanan had poisoned Mrs. Bu chanan, William S. Doria met Dr. Bu chanan and said to him, "I suppose they will dig her up." Dr. Buchanan said: "I am afraid they will. If they do lama goner. They will find something more. You know she had the morphine habit. I wish I had cremated the old thing, aud that would have settled the matter." Next, Dr. Buchanan said his wife had died from an overdose of morphine self-administered. j.ne grave was opened to-day. The au topsy showed that the cause ot death was not apoplexy, as the doctors had certified. The chemical analysis of the btomaeh has not yet been completed. TWO ATTEMPTS ON HER LIFE. A Polish Girl Tries to Hang Herself In tbe Twenty-tigbth Ward Station. Mary Roliusky, a young Polisii girl about 19 years of age, almost succeeded in com mitting suicide in the Twenty-eighth ward police station last night, and but for the watchfulness of Sergeant Dare Silzler she would have ended her life by hanging. Mary was arrested yesterday afternoon by Officer Cochran at her home, 810 Carson street, on a warrant sworn outbetore Alder man Succop by Mary McGonnell charging her with larceny. Mrs. McGonnell owns a boarding house on Perry street, and em ployed the defendant as a domestic. From time to time small articles were missed and finally a purse containing $13 was taken. Suspicion pointed to Mary as being the guilty one and she suddenly disappeared. Mrs. McGonnell finally had her arrested. Mary denied her guilt strenuously, and upon being locked up in the polico station became very violent. Sergeant Sitzler watched her closely fearing she intended to do herself harm. About 11 o'clock as he Eassed through the cellroom, he found her angine to the bars. She had twisted her apron into a rope, one end she attached to the bars and the other she had tied around her neck. Sergeant Sitzler immediately ran in and cut her down. Although badly choked she was not seriously hurt. Her apron was taken from her, and as soon as the Sergeant left the room, she slipped off her skirt and agaiu tried to make a rope out of it. Failing in this, she wrapped it so tightly around her neck that she was slowly choking. Her skirt was taken from her and she became excessively violent, tearing her hair, screaming, and tearing at her throat with her hands. Sergeant McQuade found it necessary to pla'ie the "muffs" on her and tie her down. She is a very pretty giri, but is unable to speak any English. She will be given a hearing Thursday. Sontbslde Medical Society. The Southside Medical Society held the last regularlneeting of the season last night, at whicli a resolutions committee was ap pointed to pre pare memorials on the death of Drs. Brewster and McQuiston, who were members of the association. The pro posed excursion up the Monongahela river in July was postponed for a year on ac count of the deaths in the society.

TEE CUBE FOB SHOEING. Keeping the Month Snut Will Vo It, but That's a Bard Prescription. "In discoursing upon the causes that make people snore while sleeping," said a layman to a doctor the other day, "you have omitted the chief cause, viz., sleeping with the mouth open. To cure the habit of snoring, keeping the mouth firmly closed during sleep is indispensable. It is next to impossible to snore when the mouth is firmly closed, and the breathing properly carried on through the nasal aperture from the anterior to the posterior nares, as origi nally intended by nature. It is next to im possible not to score when asleep with the month open, especially in a dorsal decubity. " "Very true," answered the doctor, "but in the relaxed and utterly irresponsible state ofsleep, whether in a dorsal decubity, which, in plain folks English, is lying on the back, if there is any obstruction ot the breathing passages the mouth will drop open, and the consequence is a snore. I don't see how any one is to help it either, unless she sits up all night with herself and keeps watch. With an obstructed- nose people will open their mouths, asleep or awake, and all we can do is to eat early and light suppers, cleanse the air passages with hot water, oil or touch the wings of the nose with vaseline, which prevents dryness and stoppage within, keep the feet warm with wool socks and hot bricks, ventilate the sleeping room, and be thankful if with nil these precautions we can prevent ourselves from being elderly, snoring grievances to our neighbors and family. Some people's 'will power' can lift them by the straps of their boots and keep their mouths closed in a state ot semi-suffocation, but happily the variety is scarce." MME. HODJESKA'S FAD. It Is tbe Cigarette Habit, Which She .Learned In Her Girlhood. Modjeska's fad is cigarette smoking, a habit she learned in her girlhood. She wanted to be with her brothers, but the smoke of their cigars made her cough, so to get accustomed to it she herself learned to smoke. She thinks the fact that she smokes a package or so of cigarettes every week should not be regarded as a heinous offense. "I do smoke, but I am not a smoker. My clothes never suggest the smell of tobacco, my breath is not tainted, and there is not a trace of nicotine on my fingers. I do not shop, or gossip; I am neither a candy-eater, a tea-drinker, nor a wine-drinker. I re quire something to quiet my nerves, and I think I have chosen the least injurious of all stimulants." The Bird in the Crowded Street. Danskc Duntirldge In the Critic A bird sings in a crowded street: Ills notes nre clean his tone are sweet, There is such uproar of the tin ong It drowns tho sweet bird's loudest song. The trampling feet raise clouds of dust. Yet still he nines, because he must, For Nature bids, importunate. Also! poor bird, how hard his fate! With none to heed the son:: he sings, Nor ever lieo to use his wings. Would Ilenvon that he might fly away To ome old forest, green and irray, And there. In tranquil solitude, UN voice might ring throughout the woods, And timid creatures, frolicking, Might pause to heed what ho should sing; But in this noUy, -ordid molt Tho sweetest bird might break his heart, Might fall, unnoticed and unknown, And dio, 'mid hurrying feet alone. The American Father and 5on. The interests of the American father and son are more often closely allied than one can find in any other nation, writes Edward W. Bok in the Ladies' Horns Journal. While in other nations generation succeeds genera tion, in America the son's interests are identical with those of the father during lifetime, and two generations stand shoulder to shoulder.

Dr. Morton Hands to Governor Patti son a Minority Beport of THE INQUIRY AT HUNTINGDON. Deputy Superintendent Smith Pronounced Unfit for His Post. SOME PUNISHmNTS FIT, S01IB UNFIT rFPXCIAL telegram to the dispatch. Hakbisbubg, June G. Dr. Thomas G. Morton, a member of the State Board of Public Charities, to-day presented to Gov ernor Pattison a minority report of the recent investigation into the charges against certain officials of the Huntingdon Reformatory. The report states that from the minute testimony at the inquiry, "it appears that Deputy Superintendent Smith is not fitted for the position which he occupies in the institu tion, and he should be removed." Dr. Morton says that some expression of appreciation should have been extended to Senator Osbourne for the interest he has taken in the welfare of the inmates of the reformatory. In considering the question of punishment Dr. Morton makes these suggestions: First That broad and wa ter Bhould only be permitted for such limited periods as sanctioned by tho medical officer of the in stitution, who should make such offender a daily visit, and report the physical condi tion and his liability to sustain a continua tion or the punishment; but in no case sbonld bread and water bo allowed tor a longer period than 18 hoars for a youth un der U yenrs of age, and no more than four days to any inmate. Ball and Chain System Denounced. Second Punishment known as the "ball and chain" and "standing chained" by tho wrists to an iron bar for hours at a time and for many consec utive days with bread and water diet, are injurious to health, cruel and degrading alike to the authorities who sanction such treatment, as well as tho offender and the inmates generally, and should be abolished. Third No officer or employe should be allowed to carry firearms or a blackjack, ex cept the guards on the towers. Strik ing an inmate with the fist, except in actual self-delcnse, Hhould be prohibited. Striking an inmate with a club.cnno or blackjack.orklcklng an inmate, sliould be prohibited, and the violation of that rule should be followed by dismissal fiom the services of the institution. Fourth AH vicious inmates should not only he iinlated as much us possible from the other inmates, but should earn the right to associate with others generally at speci fied times only and ou parade of good be havior. Fifth The question of abolishing the present monitor system, which is linhle to abuse, in permitting tho reporting of in fractions of discipline and the imposition of demerits aud other nunistiinenti by one person on another, should be caiefully considered. Tlie question whether monitors should not be lcgu lar employes of at least adult age and care fully selected, who xhould bo known to be firm, kind and otherwise suitablo for such position, should be also considered, and if adopted no one should be a monitor who had ever baeu a prisoner in the institution. As to Solitary Confticments. Sixth Punishments known as solitary confinements should be directed only by the superintendent, and if it bo prolonged beyond three days only with the consent of tho medical ofllcej. A record should be kept in a book of the character of tho punishments nud tho reason therefor, and no punishment should be inflicted upon any inh.ato who Is mentally, physically or nervously unsulted for such treatment, nor without tho sanction of the medical officer, who should give his reason in w titing (or pei milting or refusing an inmate to be punished. Seventh When possible, no one officer snould struggle with an offender; but should It be necosnry to overcome a rebellions subject, such a show of superior foice by two or more officers should bo made as would overcome resistance without vio lence. Eighth When an inmnto Is believed to be suffering fiom an incurable disease, which is likely to resnlt In loss of life, limb or per sonal disability by continued detention in the leformatory, tho medical officer should recommend the discharge, transferor parole of such inmate. Mnth All cases of insanity should be promptly transferred to ono of tho State Hospitals for the Insane. When an inmate is believed to bo feigning luanity, the med ical officer (should icqucst a consultation of at least two other medical practitioner, who bhould, upon examination, report tho result to the Sunerinletident. Tenth The medical officer of tlie leform atory, preferably, should reside in the in stitution and give his entire time to tlie care of tho inmates. He should keep a record of the condition, physical and mental, of each person when received, nud make a report every six months to the Superintendent of the condition of each inmate. A HOVEL TANDEM BICYCLE. It 'Will Break All Ki cards if It Doesn't Break thn Biders Heads. Another new machine has been invenied which will cause a stir in bicycling circles. The inventor is G. W. Carmer, Jr., a well known rider who is the holder of many road records made both in this country and abroad. Mr. Carmer's idea is to do away with the extra weight that has heretofore been deemed necessary in tandems, and he perches both riders on "top ol the big wheel. The power is obtained by the ordinary j rotary pedals that are connected to two "sproeckel" wheels. The power of the two men is thereby given to the main axle and a speed almost twice as great as that ot the regulation tandem is obtained. The machine ha3 certain drawbacks, inas much as it is very difficult to ride, and Mr. Carmer has found considerable trouble in obtaining partners with sufficient nerve and skill to join him, but he has already made marvelous time and has demonstrated the extraordinary value of his Invention. All existing records will undoubtedly be wiped away before long. Francis Train on tho Witness stand. Boston Globe.!

Allegheny Auditors Show That City Print ing Bills Are Wrong City rrfnter Og den MaKes an Explanation An Ordi nance to License Certain Kinds o Show. The Auditing Committee of Allegheny met last night, when Auditors McKirdy and Bigger submitted a report of the work: done by them during the past month. This report the committee postponed action oa and the clerk therefore refused to give it tor publication. The report was to'the effect that the au ditors were still at work in the Controller's office, and they stated that on their examination of the biHs for printing they discovered some very flagrant abuses. For instan;e, they discovered that the printing: of certain ordinances was paid for as much as 13 times, and other ordinances were paid for from two to ten times each. The audit ors said that Mr. Ogden, the city printer, had made an explanation of this by stating that his contract was to print ordinances for SI o0 each, and it was understood that the ordinances were not to be more than one page. Some or dinances, however, covered several pages, and as he could not print them for $1 50, he went before the Printing Committee and after explaining the matter they allowed him so much extra for the wqrk. The re port of the auditors stated, however, that there was no record of any kind to show this. Mr. Gerwig wanted to know from Con troller Brown if he had ever examined Mr. Ogden's contract before paying these bills, and Mr. Brown confessed that he had not; the bills had been sent to him certified to that they were correct, and heVpaid them. Mr. Gerwig wanted the matter referred to Councils at once, as there was a re flection on Mr. Ogden, the Controller and the old Printing Committee. An ordinance providing for the licensing of shows, exhibitions, etc, was amended so as to exclude ball game3 and parties given by such organizations as the Turners, etc., and was then ordered to be printed for the use ot Councils. SEARCHING F0S EICHE3. A Colorado Miner Found at Ills Tost Threa Jlonths After Death. Anaconda Standard.! Peculinr pathos attaches to tho case of James Devine, whose dead body was found recently in a tunnel where had been mining. Here was a man who for years lived practi cally the life of a hermit, depriving himself voluntarily of every pleasure, digging and delving early and late, winter and summer, in a ceaseless search for riches which he constantly believed the very next blow of his pick would unearth. And after all his toil and deprivation, without coming any nearer to the accomplishment of his purpose than when he first began, never realizing any of the great expectations which h believed the surface indications warranted, there in the mouth of his tunnel, with no hand to help him irom the scene of his accident to his cabin, no one near to ad minister medical aid or offer spiritual con solation, in the cold of a January day he suffered and died, his frozen body not to be discovered until months afterward. There is, perhaps, no particular moral to be drawn from the accident other than that chance, a great factor iu determining all men's fates, is especially operative in the case of prospectors. Other men, not many, have undergone Devine's experience, and struck it rich at last. Still other; have had to be satisfied with partial and unsatis factory results. Devine .was a type of hundreds of poor devils who in spite of un remitting toil anil unnatural exertions seem never to succeed. tA STOPS. ( THE ACHE; AS NOTHING ELSE ' WILL.
