NEXT SATURDAT'S LOCAL FIELD DAI
As far as baseball his been concerned
during the week just ended, matters have
been very quiet. Generally speaking, there
has been nothing outside the routine. The
contest for the "first pennant" is fretting
close, and that has served to keep cranks
talking and guessing. The Philadelphia
team are making things lively, and it would
be quite a surprise, if, after all, the Bos
tons are downed at the finish. More un
likely things have happened.
There has been quite a little stir in local
baseball circles over one or two matters.
Vice President Kerr has sold out of the
club bap and baggage and retired from base
ball except being a spectator at the tramps.
Mr. Kerr was a fine and genial gentleman
and a very worthy member of the club's
directory. I dare say that we'll all regret
his retirement. If everything goes right it
eeems sure now that Manager Buckenberger
trill be President of the club.
The team are beginning to look better
than they have done during the season. I
am sure that on paper they look a powerful
team, and if they conld only get down to
the work that they are capable of doing
they would soon be iar up the list. Captain
Burns has strong hopes that Ehret from
now on will be a winner, and if it turns out
to be the cae, and Baldwin and Terry do
well, the team will be as good as anybody's
team.
The Genins affair has caused considerable
talk. "While the player is not worth all
the noise the stubbornness of the Western
League in holding him ought to be cen
sured. Mr. Brush apparently has been
nlaying a very discreditable part, and his
League colleagues who love iair play
ought to call him down.
Professional Scullers nnd Erie Regrxttm.
During the week we have had one more
proof of the decline of professional sculling
in the United States. There has been a
professional regatta at Erie, and the facts
and features of it only remind us of the
great difference between such a regatta now
and one a few years ago. There was a time,
and not verv long ago, when a regatta in
which all of our best scullers took part was
considered a very great sporting event, and
an event which was given very great prom
inence in the newspapers all over the coun
try. There were also lots of people in those
days who were always ready to suoscribe
toward purses for a resatta, and as a result
there were purses sufficiently big to attract
all classes of scullers.
But we don't find that enthusiasm and
popular interest in the sport now; in tact, it
was difficult to find auvbodr at all inter
ested in the regacta at Erie. All the best
scullers in the land were there. Of course,
it is quite easy to know how this change of
public feeling has been brought about.
Everyone of the four tcullers who rowed at
Erie, I won't sav contested, has done his
share toward ruining the popularity of
sculling. Hippodrome races and dishonest
contests were for a long time so much the
rule among onr scullers that the public
kicked this sport from their presence and
would have no more of it.
If anybody can show me how the recent
regatta at Erie was anvthing more than a
hinpodrome I will ieel extremely thank
ful. The affair was promoted by the row
ers, acd just what each man would and
could do in the way of rowing was a fore
gone .conclusion. Teenier did not feel in
clined to come to this section of the coun
try, and at the last moment Gaudaur was
engaged to fill his place regardless of
whether or not Gaudaur could row 20 yards
or 20 miles. The truth is the published re
ports fiom Erie told us that Gaudaur had
been engaged simply to make the requisite
number up lor the double scull race. That
is what I call hippodroming pure and
simple, and the foul on thepart of Hanlan
and Gaudaur in The single scull race,
doubtless was part of the arransed pro
gramme to cover up the defeats of lack of
condition of the two men.
I am not opposed to regattas. I am an
ardent admirer of them but only when they
ase ot the genuine class Mark, I don't
contend that there was anything dishonest
about the Erie regatta, what I do argue is
that it was nothing but business and that
kind of bippodroming business that has
helped to ruin sculling. More than ever
I am satisfied that we must have a new set
of scullers before we cad hope to seethe
sport proper again.
Tbat I rnposed International Amateur Itnc
A week or so ago there was strong hope
of an amateur eisht-oared race, between the
best crew of the English Universities and the
winner of the Yale and Harvard race; but
these hopes have vanished considerably.
Yale may take up the callenge of the
Britshers but it is not likely that
Harvard will. During a recent conversa
tion on the matter the well-known Captain
Cook said: "I suppose it is only the same
old story that turns up every year be'ore
the race. Personally, I am not very en
thusiastic on the subject. The crew that
Yale or Harvard would meet in England
would not be the regular crew of the last
Oxford-Cambridge race, but a picked crew
lrom all over England.
'Thev do not row there as we do here.
In England, when men get out bf college,
they remain in the boat clubs and Seep on
rowing for their health. "We can't afford to
do that in this country, for we do not have
time. It would be an eight made up from
this kind of men that would be put np
against the American crew, and conse
quently not a representative crew of the
late race. I understand that Harvard is
enthusiastic over the idea, evidently think
ing that she has a fast crew.
As lor Yale, she basher hands full at
present and had better keep her thoughts at
home."
There are two very important statements
in tlie Uaptain s tain. Une is that the Eng
lish crews are better than those in America
and the other is that the British will put
a picked crew against the winuer ot the
Harvard and Yale race. AVhen Cook says
or intimates that the English amateur crews
are better than those in'the United States
I fully endorse his opinion and that is one
of the lew thing! in amateur sport wherein
the Britishers have a little the best of it.
It is quite true that the best of "English
rowers continue to row long after they have
taken part in the Oxford and Cambridge,
or any other big special event just the same
as Ptotta and other American rowers do.
"We find the tame custom among the ama
teur bicyclists of the United States and that
is one reason why they are so tar ahead of
the amateur bicyclists of other countries.
But what I would like to ask is: "Why
can't we have a race between the best eight
amateur rowers in the United States and
the best eight in England? Let both crews
be picked and in my estimation that would
be a much more important race than a race
.between the best, crews of any two partic
ular universities. "What the majority of ns
would like to know is on what side of the
Atlantic Is "the best crew. If a nee like
that ootild be arranged and ample time
given tor training, &c, depend upon it there
I could an American crew be gotten together
mat wouki just give the Dest in .England
all the rowing they wanted. The great idea
is if we want to have the champion crew in
this continent we will have to take time and
make one; and if we take time I have great
confidence" in our being able to make win
ners. root Ball Prospect for Next Season.
Although it is only early snrnmer yet
there is a little activity commencing among
the football players preparatory for next
fall. I have had several letters on the sub
ject already and the writers all want to
know whether or not there is to be a league
in this section next season. While notfiing
has been definitely settled about the matter
yet, it is almost certain that a league will be
organized.
It is quite true that the local leaene of
last year was not much of a success, but the
experiences of that effort will serve to make
another one more successful. There is no
reason why a football league here should
not be highly successful if everybody con
nected with it wants to act honestly and
fairly. The prospects for football playing
were never osuer in mis city, auu i antici
pate that there will bo more of it here this
fall than there has ever been. This being
so, it might be well for those interested in
the sport to get together as soon as possible
and have matters talked over. It is none
too soon to make dates and that means it is
none too soon to .start and get teams to
gether. What I have just said refers particularly
to Association football, but there promises
to be the same amount and probably more
activity among the Rugby rule players. It
is safe to sav that the "rivalry among the
local teams this fall will be stronger and
keener than ever. That is just what we
want and that is iust what will make the
game more successtul this year than it has
ever been. There are some good players
here, and I cannot see why we should not
be able to make up a special team that
would give the best team that would come
here a good argument for supremacy.
But the officials of our local football or
ganizations should at once secure dates with
some of the leading teams. Most certainly
there will be enthusiasm enough here this
fall to make any kind of an engagement a
profitable one if the teams are good. With
favorable weather there will be lots of
money in football this fall, and the clubs
that secure engagements with the best teams
will make tjje best successes.
Johnson and Dixon B ittle To-Morrow.
To-morrow night is the date for the great
feather-weight contest between Fred John
son, of England, and George Dixon, of this
country. The battle takes place at the
Coney Island Athletic Club, and is one of
the most important that has taken place
among the "little 'uns" for a long time. It
is one of the most difficult to come to any
conclusion about that I have had to deal
with. There are some excellent judges of
pugilism who think that Dixon will win,
and there arc just as good judges think that
he won't
Headers of this paper will know that I
have a very great respect for Johnson's
abilities as a pugilist. He has proven him
self to be a fighter of the best kind, but I do
not think he has ever met such a good
feather-weight as George Dixon, and we
have not very much to guide us as to the
comparative merits of the two men. Some
time ago Dixon defeated what was then sup
posed to be the best feather-weight in Eng
land, viz., Nunc AYallace. But Wallace
was not as good a man as Johnson. That is
bevond dispute, anil, despite the man v state
ments to the contrary, I am certain that
Dixon defeated Wallace without much
trouble. The question then is how much
better than Wallace was Dixon than John
son was?
After fully considering the matter I hare
come to the conclusion that as far as com
parisons can be made Dixon has the best of
it. I allow for Johnson improving, of
course. I am aware that it is very danger
ous to come to any conclusion on the mat
ter, as I feel satished that Johnson is a
rattling good man. So much so that while
I anticipate his defeat I would not bet a
cent of odds on Dixon. While I prefer the
chances of the latter I am frank enough to
say that his defeat will not surprise me. A
friend of mine returned-frow New jYork the
other day and spoke -veryi. highly 7 of both
contestants. He told me that he wanted to
bet a few dollars on Dixon, but if there was
no Johnson money here he would take 2 to
1 and back the Englishman. This is just
how I leel on the matter.
Dixon is quite a tricky boxer, and that
means that he probably will not be induced
to do more than his share ot leading. It he
is as free in leading off" as many of the little
chaps are he may get the worst of it, be
cause Johnson is ever ready to take advan
tage of anything, and if it were to come to a
question ot inside fighting I should fancy
Johnson. But Dixon is an exceptionally
built young fellow and ought to be able to
keep ont of harm's way to a very great ex
tent. It is because ot this that I think he
will have a shade or two the best of the
Englishman. Like the first contest be
tween Dixon and McCarthy it may be a long
one, or it may be as short as the contest be
tween Dixon and Wallace. I am inclined
to think that Johnson will hardly make a
waiting fight of it as he generally wants to
have things ended as soon as possible. He
wiil be in excellent condition and so will
Dixon, if reports are true.
If the contest is brought off" successfully
it will go a long way toward establishing
the fame of the Coney Island Ath
letic Club. That is a new organization and
it is aspiring lor first honors in the way of
an athletic club. This would indicate that
the club officials will see that everything is
fairly and honestly carried out.
John I ul!Ivan's Latest Ckallenire.
Alter all, there is something very interest
ing about John L. Sullivan. John is not
disposed to stop at anything when he feels
inclined to demonstrate his prowess as a
fighter of men. It has long been an estab
lished fact among the followers of John L
that nobody on earth was capable of stand
ing in front of the terror from Boston. He
is evidently of that opinion himself, and ac
cording to newspaper reports he has threat-,
ened the man in the moon. John L. de
clared to the Boston people that if he could
only get "one swipe at that fellow in the
moon" there would be no moon left. The
good hearted Sullivan has many tremendous
threats and challenges in his time, but his
desire to knock our good old moon into ob
livion with his fist eclipses all. Lovers,
poets and others who take delight in moon
light rambles ought at once to petition John
to alio the moon to remain for. another
generation at least.
ui courbe, Sullivan was a little "moon
struck" when he was talking so extrava
gantly, and that fact suggests to us the
question: Does he intend to get into good
condition to meet Corbett? Just as true as
we live he will need to be in good condition
for that affair; not because of the punish
ment that Corbett can give, but because of
the lack of punishment of Sullivan's efforts.
We mustn't shut our eyes to the fact fiat
Corbett is not leaving a stone unturned in
the way of getting himself into condition,
and if Sullivan does not enter the ring with
excellent wind and stomach he will be
beaten. Sullivan, in a glove contest, is just
as liable to lose his wind as anybody else.
and if he should have to do that'in front of
Corbett or in trying to hit Corbett, John's
fate will be defeat. This ought to impress
the minds ot both Sullivan and his backers.
General Afitirn Anion? Pa;lliats.
Joe Choynski is unable to find a man in
England who will attempt to stand four
rounds "against him. Isn't this a sad com
mentary on the status of the manly art in
England compared to what it used to be?
Is it not enough to make Sayers, Heard and
others turn over in their graves? Surely
thitigs pugilistic have changed in the home
of pugilism. Ot course I think that
Choynski can defeat the best man in Eng
land at present except it be Charley
Mitchell, providing the latter's hands were'
right, which they will probably never be.
The truth is that Mitchell is quite satisfied
with making a draw with Sullivan in an
open air fight, and Mitchell is of opinion
that nobody else will be able to do that.
With Mitchell out of the wav. there is no
body in England, including Pritchard, who
can defeat Choynski.
Parson Davies want apurseTto be offered ,
THE
j for a battle between Choynki and
! Godlrev. The Conev Island Club has
J offered 53,000 for such a contest, and that
amount seems auite big enough. But I
would hardly have expected that a purse
would have been forthcoming for Choynski
and Godfrey. If the former is at all as
good as he is represented he is sure to de
leat the colored man. True, Godfrey
defeated Ed Smith and Choynski did not,
but when Smith was in front ot Godfrey he,
Smith, was no more fit to fight than to fly.
If Choynski and Kilrain were going to fight
there would be odds on Choynski, and
Kilrain defeated Godfrey.
Charley Mitchell is extremely anxious to
find a man to defeat Ted Pritchard, and be
cause of that anxiety he (Mitchell) has
taken Hall in hands to train him to fight
Pritchard. When these two men fight we
will certainly have Hall tested. It seems
to me very singular that Parson Davies,
who always likes a "good thing," should
give up Hail without any objection at all
and keep Choynski. It would seem that if
Jim Hall wasanything like the wonder ho
is given out to be Davies would stick to
him tor this year at least.
Everything is going on all right for the
Goddard aud McAuliffe contest, which
takes place this week according to pro
gramme. There is'not much interest in the
affair, but it Goddard wins he is sure to
challenge anybody in this country.
An Opinion About frank P. Slavin.
A correspondent writes me an opinion
about P. P. Slavin and his recent contest
with Peter Jackson. I know this correspond
ent well, and he is one of the best in
formed men in the country to-day on mat
ters piigiiistic Without saying anything
pro or con about this opinion I give it be
cause it-is sure to be interesting:
'I'uiexd Pkingle I notice that P. P.
Slavin is going back to Australia. An
other report says he is 'booking' on the
English horse races. In either case it means
that he has money. If he returns to Aus
tralia then there will be no doubt in my
mind about his losing his late fight pur
posely. I have studied all the features of
that encounter and I am fully convinced
that the affair was 'fixed' for Slavin to
lose. By his arranging to do that he wouid
make sure ot getting $20,000 and so would
Davies and Jackson eacn get about the
same. Slavin never made such a poor effort
in his life. He made a much better stand
against Jackson years ago when
he (Slavin) was just learning to
box. Jackson had considerable tronble
in defeating Joe McAuliffe when the
latter was not much more than a novice.
Slavin defeated McAuliffe in three or lour
minutes alter McAuliffe had been trained
and taught for a year by the best men in
the world. Godfrey kept Jackson very
busy for a long time and Kilrain defeated
tioatrev. blavm knocked iulram out in
short order. Despite all this Slavin makes
no. show against Jackson. If he-had b.'aten
Jackson he coufd only have gotten SS.'OOO or
?t,000 and he was never sure of deleating
Jackson. By making a certainty of it and
agreeing to lose, his fellow countryman,
Jackson, Parson Davies and himself could
each get about $20,000, as the odds were
heavily on Slavin. The latter certainly
would not return to Australia at present if
he had no money, nor could he follow the
English races as a bookmaker."
Next Saturday's Big Athletic Sports.
Next Saturday promises to be a great day
for field sports iu and about Pittsburg. The
Three A's will hold their summer athletic
meeting on that day, and m"any of the best
amatenr athletes in the country are ex
pected here. Let me say that there is no
sport more enjoyable on a fine day than
athletic contests in the open air when the
competitors are ot the first rate class. We
are promised this kind ot talent on Satur
day at the Three A's Park, lately Recrea
tion Park.
It is to be hoped that the sports will be
well patronized, aud it they are it will give
encouragement to future ventures ot the
kind. The Three A's are certainly making
a fine'place of this park, and have made an
excellent sprinting track. I may add that
Saturday's contests will be strictly under
A- A. U. rules. Doubtless there will be
some flyers from Detroit, including the
famous Owens, The latter is certainly a
wonderful sprinter, and ha3 100-yard mark
below even time. We have some good
local talent, also, acd altogether I expect
some very fast time to be made on the new
cinder path, and tor once we will get a cor
rect idea as to the quality ot our local
speed. The sports certainly ought to be
well patronized. PP.INGLE.
THE FBANCO-FBTJSSIAN WAE.
How the End Came "With the Last Shot
Fired by the French.
Among the stories of Herr Porckenbeck,
the late chief burgomaster of Berlin, which
are being revived is this:
As President ot the North German Reichs
tag, he was sent in 1871, with Von Stauflen
berg, to Versailles, to congratulate the
Prussian King upon his election as Em
peior. Bismarck, who had just concluded
the terms of peace with Prance, invited
them to supper, and at that repast the
Kaiser's chief counsellor said:
"This night, at 12 o'clock, the last shots
will be exchanged between our troops and
the French, and I have conceded to the
Prench the honor of the last shots."
Forckeubeck and his colleague left their
host before midnight, drew out their
watches, stood underneath a lantern of the
Hotel du Reservoir, and waited. First
there was a cannon-shot from the German
troops; then a solemn stillness. Then fol
lowed the last reply from Mont Valerien.
The tower-clock at Versailles struck 12; the
French war had ended.
Parents Convicted for Conspiracy.
A singular boycott was recently inforced
against a local pedagogue at Bronkow, in
Germany, by the parents of his pupils. They
objected to the schoolmaster's extreme no
tions ot discipline and agreed among them
selves to keep their children at home. So
the bell rang tor two days without the ap
pearance ot a scholar at the schoolroom,
until at last the magistrate summoned the
parents before him lor conspiracy and the
schoolmaster won the day.

fCORRERPONDEXCI OP THE DISPATCH.!
Washington, June 28. Senator In
galls intends to keep himself in the politi
cal swim. He will take part in the coming
'campaign and will deliver speeches in many
of the doubtful States. He does not like be
ing out of political life, and the eighteen
years which he spent in the Senate hare
spoiled him for the quiet of Atchison or for
rushing over the country as a lecturer. If
the Republicans carry the election, he will
in all probability receive one of the best of
the foreign missions or will have a high
position in "Washington. He is a very
proud man and he would not take anything
below a Cabinet office, and this would have
to be offered him on a silver platter.
His remark about the death of Plumb and
the election of Perkins in which he said
that "he did not want to ride into Congress
in a hearse," called out a new story con
cerning President Harrison the other day.
The incident occurred about two months
before the nominating convention of 1888.
Harrison was talked of as a possible Presi
dent and there was some discussion as to
the advisability of making him the Vice
Mrs. Stanton's Tem of Giants.
Presidental candidate, whereupon one of
his Indianapolis friends sdnded him on
the subject. Said the Indianapolis man:
"Senator Harrison, I think you stand a
fair chance to be President, but you have a
better one of being Vice President, and the
he2d of the ticket maycome from the East."
Didn't Like the Cemetery Route.
"I don't know about that," replied the
future President, "but I do know that I
don't want the second place on the ticket,
I would like to go to the "White House, but
I don't want to go into it through the ceme
tery." Senator Harrison then discussed
the Vice Presidents who had become Presi
dents, and as much as said that he would
not have the Vice Presidental place on the
ticket
Senator Blackburn was telling a curious
experience the other night which he and
the late Senator Beck had about 10 years
ago at the Capitol here. They were talking
together outside of one of the committee
rooms of the Senate when a stout-looking
man with a round, boyish head covered with
iron-gray hair came up to them and begging
their pardon told them that he had a curi
ous little Instrument under Jus arm which
he would like to show them. IXnon this he
produced a bundle and, the Senators con
senting, the three men went into the com
mittee room.
How Edison Showed His Phonograph.
"When the wrapper was taken ofi the ma
chine looked like a miniature corn-sheller,
and the man asked Senator Beck to talk into
it and to say anything he pleased. Beck
thereupon, in stentorian tones, recited one
of Robert Burns' short dialect poems. The
boyish-looking man turned the handle and
Beck's voice was ground out in the same
tones that he had used. The Senators were
astounded. Neither had ever heard or
thought of the possibility of the phono
graph, and Senator Beck accused the man
ot being a ventriloquist. He wanted to try
it again and insisted that tlie'man should go
off into a distant corner of the room as he
did so.
"I will do better than that," replied Mr.
Edison, for he was the man. "I will go out
side of the door and you can talk into the
machine and work it to suit yourself."
This he did, aud the two Kentucky Sena
tors found the machine to work equally well
during his absence. This was, I am' told,
the first time that the phonograph was ever
shown in "Washington. Now you find
nickle-in-thc-slot machines in every block
which retail through this instrument the
popular music ot the day, and many states
men dictate their letters into phonographs
and have them transcribed by typewriters.
Han Ison Loves a Fine Horse.
The summer days are filling the country
drives about Washington with spanking
teams, and among the curious sights I have
seen on the road this week was Postmaster
General "Wanamaker and the President iu a
piano box buggy behind the Postmaster
General's fast Kentucky roadster. On the
President's knee was little Baby McKee,
and Baby McKee was driving th'e buckle.
It formed a pretty sight, and the President
and the Postmaster General seemed more
interested in young McKee than in any
thing else. The President bimselt has fairly
good horses and is fond of driving. I see
him now and then with the reins in his
nanas, ana J. saw mm out yesterday in a
landau with Russell sitting on the front
seat beside the driver and the President
and Mrs. Dimmick riding behind. His
favorite drives seem to be to the Soldiers'
Home, and he often drives out on the hill
and takes a spin along the Columbia road,
hardly looking to the right or left as he
goes, but generally tipping his hat when he
is spoken to. He seldom rides on horseback
and he seems to prefer the buggy to the
saddle. President Cleveland rode a little
in the saddle.' He was too heavy to cut a
ood figure on horseback and he knew it
Senator Stanford, though he has some of
the best horses in Washington, never rides
them. He prefers to drive and his two
black coach horses, "Major and George,"
are the biggest of tne kind that have ever
been in Washington. These horses are over
17 hands high and they weigh together just
about a ton and a half". They are high step
pers and you conld not buy them for 125,000
apiece. They are the property of Mrs.
Stanlord at least she drives them in her
big landau and she has a coachman and a
foatman who are dressed in black and who
have black rosettes on their high silk hats

Stanfrrd and Rothschild Contrasted.
Senator Stanford's stable is one of the
finest in the city, but it is not eztavagant in
the way ot furnishing. With all his wealth,
Senator Staudford wastes no money fool
ishly and the contrast between this stable
nnd that of the rich Baron Rothschild of
Vienna, is striking. I doubt whether
Rothschild is worth any more than Senator
Stanford, but he has one box stall which
cost $12,000 to build and his stable has
maible floors and here and there his walls
are set in costly.tiles, painted by distin
guished artists, and it has rings, chains and
drain traps ot silver. Its walls are frescoed
with hunting scenes and it cost, all told, in
the neighborhood of 5100,000.
Senator Stanford's stable did not cost one
fourth this amount. It is a plain brick
building, and though it is perfectly ven
tilated au'd heated and hasnice quarters and
bathrooms for the men, it is not made of
Costly woods nor is it in any way extrava

How Grant Got a Fast Hone.
Next to Washington, Grant had perhaps
the best horses of any other President, and
one of the best horses "be drove was gotten
right here at the capital. His name was
Butcher Boy, and Grant named him this
from the circumstances attending his pur
chase. He was out driving one day while
he was President, and he tried to pass a
butcher's cart, but, though he had a fast
horse, the cart kept in advance of him, and
he saw that the horse which pulled it was a
good one. He kept after the cart until it
got into Washington and followed it to its
stand near the market and marked the
Black Means Death.
place at which its driver stopped. He then
sent a man to buy the horse, and he got it
for a small amount, but it turned out to be
a fast horse and a good one.
Speaking of Grant one of his closest
friends here at Washington was GeneriH Ed
Beale, and it was to General Beale that he
gave two of the horses which were sent him
lrom Turkey by the Sult&n, and I think
these are now on General Beale's farm, near
Washington.. White I was in Turkey a
few years ago I had a chat with the drago
man of our legation at Constantinople and
he told me a queer story of the selection of
these horses by the Sultan. The Sultan had
sent a couple of fine steeds to the legation
with the instruction that they should be
sent to President Grant as a gift from him,
and the Minister had, in company with this
dragoman, tried them.
A Story About Grant's Arabians.
One was a magnificent jet black stallion,
but in riding him the Minister thought he
discovered a fault and he insisted that the
dragoman should take him b&ck to the Sul
tan and ask him to send a better horse. The
dragoman replied that he could not do this;
that the horses were a gift, and he used the
proverb about "not looking a gift horse in
the mouth." But the Minister insisted and
the dragoman went to the Sultan and asked
for audience. He is, by the way, a man of
fine sensibilities, and as an interpreter for
the legation he is the most important of all
men to Americans in Turkey. Said he to
me: "I felt very much ashamed of myself
and my mission, and I did not know what I
could do until at last a thought struck me
that the horse was a black one and
that black was the color of mourning
in America. When I entered the palace
the first thing that the Secretary asked me
was as to how the Ministerand myself liked
the horses, and I replied that they were the
finest horses that we had ever seen and that
our President would feel very proud and
would be delighted with the gilt I then
went on to praise the horses, and especially
the black one, which I said was magnificent
in every respect, but here I stopped, and
the Secretary anxiously asked: 'But what?
Is there anything the matter with the
horse?
" 'No,' said I, 'but yon know black is the
color of mourning in the United States. It
means death with us, and I just wondered
whether such a gift might not be considered
ominous if sent by the Sultan.' The Secre
tary saw the point at once, he spoke to the
Sultan and I was thanked for my sug
gestion, and the horse was changed for one
of another color and as sound as a dollar."
A New Story of Cleveland.
I heard a good story about William I.
Scott and President Cleveland from an Erie
man the other day. The incident occurred
while Scott was in Congress and Cleveland
was President Scott had, you know, given
something like $50,000 to the campaign
fund during the Cleveland campaign, and
he bad shown himself an able thinker on
financial questions during his stay in the
House. He and .the President were very
intimate, and Grover Cleveland thoroughly
admired him, and he wanted to have him
in his Cabinet. So when Dan Manning
died he offered Mr. Scott the Secretaryship,
ot the Treasury. He was surprised to hnd
that Mr. Scott would not accept it, and
upon his asking the reason, Mr. Scott re
plied: "President Cleveland, I appreciate the
fact that yon have offered me what the
world considers a very high honor. But
the Secretary of the Treasury is merely the
clerk of the President, and I have too
many clerks of my own to be a clerk lor
any man. In fact', it takes all I can do to
watch my own clerks, let alone the doing of
clerical duty for the Government I'm
much obliged to you for the compliment,
but I can't accept the position."
The fact that Scott left in his will a pro
vision that his successor in his business
should receive $50,000 a year shows that he
was rather a high-priced man to whom to
give one of Uncle Sam's 58,000 jobs. He
began life as a page in Congress and there-
met a Congressman named Reid, who took
a fancy to him and took him home with him
to Erie. Young Scott showed such business
ability that he soon began to get rich.

KJEKVOUS PROSTRATION.
A Prevalent Malady Daring Hot Weather
Nervous prostration (neurasthenia), spinal
anaemia, nervousness, weakness and nervous
debility are different names given to an
affection of the nervous system which is be
coming more and more common. Hard
.work, close coippetition, business uncer
tainties, little sleep, high living, the use of
narcotics, all tend alike to injure the
nervous system.
Symptoms A foreboding of calamity, a
sense of something awful about to happen,
twitching of the eyelids, moving, brown
specs belore the eyes, and metalic ringing
in the cars, sour stomach after eating, with
erotic belching of gas, a feeling ot great
weight in the stomach, morbid fear of leav
ing home, a constant desire to talk of their
symptoms, chills and hot flashes, "hands' and
feet usually cold and clammy, general ten
dency to dryness and coldness of the skin of
the whole bodv, neuralgic headache, nerv
ous chills, hysteria, sinking and faint
spells, distressing palpitation of the heart,
defective eyesight, total inability to read,
write or doany business, urine abundant,
without color, loss of flesh, sleeplessness
and erotic excitability. Some of these symp
toms are present in every case.
Treatment. There should be an entire
change ot habits, aud the diet should con
sist largely of animal food. Walking, rid
ing, or rowing, and other outdoor employ
ments, as much as the strength of the pa
tient will allow, is indispensable. A suffi
cient dose of Man-a-lin should be taken at
bedtime to produce one natural movement
of the bowels each day. Fe-ru-na should be
taken immediately before eating, beginning
with a very small dose and gradually in
creasing until two tablespoonfuls are taken
before each meal. Pe-ru-na may be taken
between meals, or at night, to relieve bad
spells, in such doses as may be found neces
sarv. No other medicine should be taken.

IWBITTEX TOK THE DtSrATCH.1
We have had the system of national con
ventions for so long that one might be par
doned for thinking that the Presidental
candidates had always been chosen at such
conventions. But they have not There
were no candidates for the Presidency and
the Vice Presidency at the first or the sec
ond election, but the electors met and cast
their ballots for the persons whom they
considered best Each elector voted for
two persons, the person receiving the great
est number of votes, so Ion? as it was a ma

ceived the next largest number was" chosen
Vice President
In 1796 Congressional caucuses nominated
the candidates, the Federalists putting up
Adams and Pinckney, the Republican party
(now the Democratic party), Jefferson and
Burr. In 1800 the Republican caucus
nominated Jefferson again; but Adams ran
without a nomination. The last nominations
by Congressional cancuses were in 1824.
The candidates in 1828 were nominated by
the State Legislatures. On September 26
28, 1831, the Anti-Masonic party held the
first National Convention in Baltimore, and
nominated Wirt and Ellmaker;the National
Republicans (later Whigs) held their con
vention, also in Baltimore, December 12-14,
1831; and the Democrats theirs, in Balti
more, May 22, 1832. The election was not
until November, 1832. Since then tor 60
years, that is we have had national con
ventions of the various parties.
"Will you tell me how to use a pocket com
passt ,A. P. D.
Generally s pocket compass is needed
only in the woods, but there are times when
it is needed even on the plains. Suppose
you want to go to the houte of a friend 20
miles away to the southwest, the interven
ing space being partly woodland and partly
prairie or open land. Take your compass
in. your hand, and hold it steadv until the
needle becomes quiet Now if yon stand
so that the needle of the compass points a
little to the right of your breast, you will
be facing nearly southwest that is, in the
direction of your friend's house. Now look
straight ahead toward the southwest, and
fix on some natural object as faraway as
possible, but in the exact direction. Any
thing that does not move will do a house,
a tree, a hilL Now, having fixed on the
object, put up your compass and make for
the object When you get there place your
compass as before, choose another object
and go to it, just as before. If you have to
go around a pond, it will be best to leave
yonr track at a right angle, counting the
steps or the time-necessary to clear the ob
stacle, and then, having got beyond the
pond, count yonr steps or your time back to
the original line of march. Always leave
yonr original line at a right .angle and re
turn to it at a rieht angle; then you will
run little if any risk of losing your road.
What Is meant bv conferring the freedom
of a city upon a personT Arthur F. H.
The bestowinga upon that person of the
privileges of citizenship in the city. In
the old days only "free men of a city" were
allowed to exercise their trades or profes
sions jn- that place; and it took a long time
to obtain the freedom. A person began as
an apprentice to a freeman; then he became
a journeyman, and traveled around, learning
how his trade was managed in other places;
then he came home to become a master; and
in time he obtained the freedom of his
trade, and could work at it for himself in
his city. Nowadays the freedom of a city
is a purely honorary distinction conferred
on some distinguished person. The foreign
cities, especially Great Britain, where they
keep up old customs more than we do, be
stow the freedom even now; some of our
own cities used to bestow it, but of late
rears, so far as we recollect, it has not been
bestowed formally by any American town.
What Is the difference between the titles
King and Emperor? 11. L. B.
Speaking generally, the sovereign of a
single country is a king, the sovereign of
two or more countries united under one
crown is an emperor. Thus we have the
King of Spain, the King of Greece, the
King of Sweden, the King of Prussia and
the Emperor of Germany, which is com
posed of a number of k i ngdoms, prin cipali
ties, duchies, eta; the Emperor of Russia,
which is composed of several kingdoms and
duchies; the Emperor of Austria, which is
composed of a kingdom and several duchies.
Great Britain is an exception to the general
rnle, for though it is composed of four king
doms and a principality, it is governed by a
King or Queen; but this is because the title
Emperor is not English. By the way, the
lour kingdoms are those of England, Scot
land, Ireland and Man; and the principality
is that of Wales.
What Is the population of the city of Lon
don T " Missomeh.
There are six different answers to this
simple question. First, there is the real
city of London. The city, as old English
people call it, covers 668 acres, rather more
than a square mile, and has a population of
37,694. In 1881, its population was 50,652;
and it is the only part of London that has
lost in population. Within the limits cov
ered by the Registrar-General in making up
his tables of mortality lie 74,692 acres,
whereon dwell 4,211,056 persons. The
county of London and the London school
district, each covers 75,462 acres, with a
population of 4,231,431 souls. The Metro
politan police district, which is a circle with
a diameter of 30 miles, covers 440,891 acres,
wi'b a ponulation of 5,595,638; and the
Me'.ropolitan and city police districts, taken
tagether, cover 441,559 acres, with 5,633,
559 inhabitants.
We read abont "horse, foot and drasoons;"
what is the difference between horse and
dnuroonsT A. JU. S.
The "horse" were mounted soldies
trained to act only on horseback; the dra
goons were soldiers trained to act either on
foot or on horseback. The cavalry carried
long swords that an infantryman or foot
soldier would find in the way; the dra
goon's sword was a happy medium in
length. Our First and Second Regiments
of cavalry were originally called dragoons;
in fact, it was only by the reorganization at
the outbreak of the war that the name was
changed. General Lord Wolseley says that
all of our American cavalry regiments are
really dragoon regiments, because the men
are trained to fight on foot as well as on
horseback.
When was Charley Boss kidnaped; and
has he been found? O'Dell.
Charlie Ross was kidnaped July 1, 1874.
At intervals since then various persons have
been found who were said to be the missing
boy; but he has never been recovered. It is
supposed that he is dead.
In almost every English novel the serv
ant'! of the house, at some period of the
story, are put on "board wages;" what nie
"hoard wages?" K. N. T.
Wages just sufficient to allow them to get
their meals. The family is always away,
you will notice, when the servants are put
on board wages; and the idea is that as the
servants are doing; no work, they shouldn't
receive working pay. The Government
puts its naval officers on what are prac
tically board wages, by paying them wait
ing pay when they are waiting for orders,
shore pay and sea pay; and that is the only
employer in this country that does put its
people on board wages.
This year is a leap Tear; 1896 will be one:
but I am told that 1900 will not; will you ex
plain why it won't be? Fczzlxd.
Before Julius Cesar the Soman calendar
was composed "of 12 months of 30 days
each, with additional days to make up the
number in which the earth and the sun
were in the same position attained the same
relative positions added by the College of
Angus. In Ceesar's time the Augurs had
been careless, and in B. C 46 the year was
65 days ahead of time. Cssar found that
the year was a few minutes short of 365
days long, but called it just exactly 365
days long, and, laying aside the quarter
day. called it 365 days, with"an extra day
every fourth year. But Csesar, in assuming
the year to be 365' days, had added each
year between 10 and 11 minutes, which he
had to borrow from the future. In A. D.
1581 Pope Gregory XIIL calculated that
under Caesar's system tea days bad been
borrowed. To pay back those ten days he
ordered that October S, 1582, should be
called the 15th; that made matters even
again. But to prevent any such accumula
tion of borrowed days, he ordered that in the
future centnrial years, unless they were
multiples of 400, should not be leap years.
The reason is this: Each year we borrow
10 minutes and 11 seconds from the future;
we pav it back, and more, too, by giving up
three leap years every 300 years; and then
get back what we have overpaid by having
a leap year on the fourth 100 years. This
arrangement Is about as exact as conld be
made; there is a very slight error which can
be corrected by ourgiving np a leap year in
about 2,100 years from'now. So 1900 will
not be a leap'year, but 2000 will be.
What are "privileged questions" in Con
gress? M. C.
A privileged question is one that has
right of way over other questions. Motions
to adjourn, motions relating to the rights of
members, motions for the orders ot the day,
and reports from certain committees as the
Committee on Rules, the Committee on Ap
propriations are privileged motions in
Congress. A question of privilege relating
to the personal rights of a member of Con
as such member. Generally it relates to
some newspaper comment upon some act or
word of some member; and the member
complains that his constitutional right to
be free from outside criticism lor anything
said or done in the House has been in
fringed. The Generals in our army wear silver
Btars on their shoulder straps, the Colonels
wear silver eagles, the Lieutenant Colonels
silver leaves and the Hajorj gold leaves.
Wny does the officer or lower rank wear
gold, while his superiors wejr silver?
Militia.
It is a sort of bi-metallic reason; the
United States decided that silver was as
good as gold, and that there was no reason
irhy the superior officer should assume
golden insignia and the Junior silver; so
they give the silver to the officer of higher
rank.
I have been readlne Thackeray's Tjoems,
and have met that one in which ho ceie
brate"t bouillabaisse;" will you tell me what
that famona dish is,aud it it can be got now
adays? Dcajr.
Did you ever eat chowder? Bouillabaisse
is chowder, with toast instead of pilot bread
in the soup. Has chowder fish chowder,
clam chowder never been sung by a poet?
I have heard that the elections for Presi
dent used to last for more than ono day. Is
that so? W. II. H. D.
In New York State, previous to 1842, the
elections lasted three days. The act of
April 5, 1842, did away with these long
elections. William Henry Harrison, whose
initials yon bear, wis the last President
elected under the old law.
What was the first metal, coined into
money in the United States? Bi-Met.
Silver; and the first coins were half dimes,
first minted in October, 1792. Copper cents
and half cents were first struck in 1793, and
gold eagles were struck first in 1794.
TO THE NORTH POLE.
An Athenian Profesor Has Invented an
Engine to Carry Him There.
An Athenian professor of mathematics
named Damaskin has invented an ice loco
motive which be expects to carry him to the
North Pole. He has given an order for the
construction of a large locomotive alter his
pattern, and is now calling for volunteers to
accompany him to the Arctic Ocean.
The locomotive, says the St. Louis JU
public, is to have a unique arrangement by
which it lays and takes np the rails as it
runs. Short spikes on the underside of the
rails will make the latter temporarily fast
in the ice. The locomotive will be operated
by steam, and at the same time will throw
out enough beat to keen the travelers from
suffering from cold. One cab, attached to
the locomotive, is to carry the provisions
for the exploring party. The locomotive
and cab will be conveyed in parts to Spitz
bergen, Prot Damaskin says, and will there
be put together. It will then be run for the
North Pole at the rate of 30 miles an hour.
As Spitzbergen is about 600 miles from
the North Pole. Prof. Damatkin expects to
reach his destination in 20 hours. He al
lows eight hours for his observations and 20
hours for returning, so tliat the whole trip,
Spitzbergen and return, will be made in just
two days.
Prof Damaskin hopes to be ready to
start on the journey late in September or
early in October.
