Thej Pnp.ro for the Grand Parade and Exhilltion Drills. BIG RECEraOKS GIYIN THB TIBITOES Dktveb, Col., Aug. a The population of thli city wulnereued nearly 35,000 and till the rush continues. Probably one quarter of this number were Knights, the rest were visitors attracted by the conclave. It was a most cosmopolitan crowd and one that is seldom seen outside of New York or Chicago, or the leading continental cities. Of coarse the majority were Americans and all the principal cities of the country were represented. There were some objection able characters drawn hither by the cheap rates, but the most were respectable well-to-do citizens. The scenes about the Union depot, where Eastern and local trains arrived about every 15 minutes, were lively bejond description. In many of the trains numbers of passen gers had stood for hundreds of miles. The cars were packed to the doors, but the Knights were comfortable, for they occupied special coaches and in many cases speoial train. They were accompanied by their wivei, daughters and lady friends. The ladies in their bright cos tumes added to the attractiveness of the scene and set oil the somber costumes of the Knights to perfection . The depot yards and the streets of the city were filled with the strains of music and marching Knights all day. The visiting commanderies were escorted to their headquarters by the local Knight"!, and Dinners and swords tl.-it.hed in the bright suulight and fave the citr a gay appearance. II Hntl Mnrm K-ceptlons. The crowds were well handled and everv bodr was given good accommodations. The local Knights looked after their visiting brethren and the Citizens' Committee looked after other visitors who were un lortunale enough not to have friends here. They still have 5,000 rooms to let, but they will" probablv all be filled bv Wednesday. There is still in reserve though, rooms which will be given up by private residents, only, however, ifabsolutely necessary, for no one who comes here will be allowed to go away disappointed. Although Denver is several hundred miles trom the nearest Indian reservation, it bore a typical western appearance to-day. The representatives of tour tribes of Indians who are giving "wild west" exhibitions roamed about the city while prairie schoon ers containing the families of ranchmen who live in the suburbs and trom 50 to 200 miles away occasionally passed through the streets. These people were supplied with campaign outfits and have put up hundreds cf tents in the outskirts where they will live during the conclave. Then the picturesque cowboy band was on hand and they caused a sensation wherever they appeared. Their leader carried a Winchester instead of a baton and his commands were given by the crack of this arm. This band was on escort duty all day. During the day nearly 100 eastern and western trains rolled in and nearly as many more local trains. The City a Mass of naming. Denver was in its glory. The decorations in the business district were finished to-day and the eye is greeted oa every side by Knights Templ&r emblems and artistically arranged buntings and more expensive cloths. Bows of incandescent colored elec tric lights are strung across the streets at tached to which are all sorts of Templar designs and when they were illuminated to night the city presented a beautiful and unique spectacle. To-night there were re ceptions at the various clubs "and head quarters to the visitors, for Denver is keep ing open houses and the Knights are wel comed everywhere. Those who arrived before noon were treated to one of the rarest Colorado morn ings. It was warmer in the afternoon, but toward evening the cool air from the snow capped range of the city cooled the atmos phere and to-night the air is cool and re freshing, partially caused by a shower of rain, and the Tisltors will sleep as they never did in the low lands in this season of the year. Ascalon Commandery, of St. Louis, en tertained the Grand Commandery of Mis fouri to-night at Odd Fellows' Hall. Gov ernor Francis, of Missouri, is Commander, and the boys are proud of him. The Massachusetts and Rhode Island Com A CHANCE ENCOUNTER. Bv MRS. I met her just outside the railway station, in one of the great Italian towns; Indeed, it was in the omnibus ot the hotel to which I was going, and which stood there, as they all do for a long time, awaiting the collo tion of luggage. She was quite young, not SO, a girl so perfectly comme il faut, so well dressed from head to foot, so evidently accustomed to be cared for and looked after that her little air ot bewilderment and dis tress, and the way she looked about, as if ceeking some familiar laoe, was all the more noticeable. I hope I should have been as torry for a more ordinary specimen of humanity, bat I certainly should not have been so much I nterested. She was not alone, however, at this moment, but was accom panied by a man, who put her into the omnibus with sundry expressions or en couragement, and descriptions ot how she would find her smaller luggage outside, etc., to which she replied with profuse thanks, without ever ceasing her anxious look round the wide apace before the rail way station, which was crowded with people coming -and going. "I'll look round in the evening and see if you have heard anything," he said; to which she replied by begging him not to take the trouble 10 disturb himself, with many renewed expressions of thanks for his kind ness to her. lie patted her on the shoulder, as he shook hands with her, encouragingly. He was a man twice her age, and had a irirnfgr look and an American accent. There was not about him the smallest trace of a Don Giovanni; yet that pat on the shoulder Immediately quickened my grow ing desire to intervene. She was not a beautiful girl in my experience beautiful girls ae very rare; but her features were agreeable, her complexion of that blanc mat which the French admire so much, her hair of, a pretty chestnut color, the outlines of her soft, young face distinct, though very delicate and fair. But it was the little air, which could scarcely be called personal dis tinction, yet which made it impossible for the girl to look common nnder any dream stances the perfect physical training and well-beine, the perfection of care and re gard for her comfort, and selection of the appropriate and becoming in every personal detail, which suggested that every precau tion had surrounded her and everything possible had been done for her, from her cradle up which struck one most. Her dress was quite simple, yet of the best kind. The train by which we had both arrived was a through train, in which the most or the passengers had traveled all night . bnt she had none of the fagged and disor manderies attracted a good deal of attention during the day, 'and they promise to make a fine appearance at the parade. New York City and Philadelphia Commanderies con tained a distinguished looking lot of men. When St. John's No. 4, of Philadelphia, arrived this morning from its trip around the State with Grand Master Gobin, of the Grand Commandery, the latter was re ceived with a salute of 21 guns. He was escorted to the Temple, where Grand Com mander Carr, of Colorado, made a short speech of welcome. General Gobin re sponded in a charming -manner. No Competitive Drill This Tim. Shortly after, he learned that a prize com petitive drill had been arranged. He ex pressed his disapproval, and Commander Carr countermanded the order for the drill. It was rumored during the day that the parade had been postponed until Wednes day. This was denied by several Grand Officers.but there is some uncertainty about the matter vet. The Californlans, one of the j oiliest com manderies here, have not let an opportunity pass to entertain their friends and enjoy themselves. They are stopping at the Ox ford Hotel, and this afternoon Sir Knights CL H. Wilson and J. L. M. Shetterly gave a joint birthday party at whieh speeches were made and good wishes exchanged. Hono lulu was represented by one delegate, Sir Knight Williams, who was enthusi astically greeted. A practice drill of the" Mounted California Drill Corps was had this afternoon, and the men did themselves proud. Taking this as an ex ample California will be one of the notable Commanderies in to-morrow's parade. The drill corps were given a dinner this evening by Sir Knight Boetticher, of Denver, and later on the entire Commandery attended a reception given by Mrs. Christie, of Den ver. It is estimated that there are nearly 20,000 Knights in town. The commanderies which arrived to-day were: New Haven Commandery; Spring field (Mass.) Commandery: Trinity, of New Jersey; Hugh De Payen, Jersey City; New Jersey Grand Commandery; OttawdJ of Illinois; Oriental, of Kansas City; Sotoan, ot Illinois;Montrose and Ouray, of Colorado; St. Joe,of St. Joseph, Ma;Govin, ot Illinois; Engletrood, of Chicago; Detroit, of Detroit; Peoria Commandery; Topeka, of Topeka, Kan.; Uethsamane, of Nebraska; Lafayette, ot Indiana; Michigan City Commandery; Coeur de Leon, of San Francisco; Saliiia, ot Kansas; Akron, of Colorado; Bose, of Ohio; South Carolina and Gebrgia Comanderies; Aldemar, of Montana; Ohio Valley; Lam bridge, of Iowa; Kenneth, of Iowa; Mount Sinai, of Boulder; Washington (D. C.) Com mandery No. 1. The Visitors Arrive by Hundred. Altogether nearly 200 Eastern trains were scheduled toarrive. At afate hour there were still 60 of these trains to get in. They will probably arrive before morning. One of the features of the conclave is the ladies re ception tent at the Union depot, where all ladies who arrive with the Knights are re ceived and seat to their various destina tions. The Kansas City Knights, to the number of several hundred, gave a parade and an exhibition drill this evening on the Capitol grounds. They were reviewed by nearly all the Grand Officers in town, and they made a fine appearance. As quite a number of commanderies will not arrive before to-moirow there were no formal receptions this evening, bat there was a general round of fraternal calls going on all the time, and at the several headquarters of the different States the latch string was well fixed on the out side. It was open'hospitallty everywhere and as many of the commanderies have their own bands along with them, there has been music in the air all the evening. Governor McKinley, of Ohio, and party of ladies and gentlemen, who arrived here yesterday, did not stop long in Denver on their arrival from the East. After viewing the city the party went to Colorado Springs, from which place they returned to Denver last night and left for the East this morn ing. Governor McKinley said he expected to stamp Colorado during the fall. Light Displays for Miles In length. For several days past search lights and individual lights'have been displayed, but not before to-night have the general illumi nations been shown. To-night the streets are lighted up for miles aronnd by many colored stringers, fancy emblems of Masonry, colossal search lights and brilliantly decorated arches. The electrical illu mination is one of the many features of the conclave entertainment and" is the result of many months of patient work and study ft well as the expenditure of considerable money. Four great search lights, each of 5,000 candle power, are placed in conspicuous positions in different parts of the town and so constructed that powerful reflectors con centrate the rays at any point desired and give the clearness of daylight at a distance of two or three miles. The area covered by the general illumination from these special plants is a mile in length by nearly naif a mile in width. A magnificent doable arch near the Masonic Temple has upon it no fewer than 2,062 colored incandescent lights. Tw oother arches near the depot are fitted OLIPHANT. derly air, which so (almost) Invariably ap pears in the afternoon, at least, of the day after a night journey. It was evidently natural for her to look pale, so that there was no change in that respect; and her Eretty hair was as much in order as, on a ead of 19, it had any need to be. After facing each other a minute or two in the omnibus, which was still waiting for my luggage which my maid, an experi enced polyglot it her way, with a large commando) nouns and very small of verbs, was looking after I broke through my English reserve (which was never my strong point), and asked: "Have you lost your luggage?" which, indeed, was the supposition I had made. The girl seemed much relieved to be able to speak. "Oh, no," she said, "much worse thanthat. I havefloit my mother and father. They were to meet me here by this train; and they have neither come nor sent any one, and! don't know what to do. That gentleman said I had better go to the hotel this omnibus belongs to that it was the best, and that they might be there; or I could send and try to find them, or perhaps there might be a telegram, or k I can't think "how they have failed me; it was all settled exactly how I was to travel. and the hour the train arrived, and everything. I thought I could travel quite well by myself, but I will never try it again," said my lit tle lriend with fervor; and she added a melancholy story of her troubles by the way. How she had been placed bv ber friends in a sleeping carriage, in which she was not to be disturbed which went "through," that magic word to the unac customed traveler and would have no trouble till she came to her journey's end, when she would step into the arms of her mother. All so beautifully arranged, no trouble at all instead of which she had been made to jump up at 4 in the morning, to hasten on her "things" and to change into another carriage; and now at the end, where she hoped all her troubles were over, there was no mamma on the platform, nobody looking out for her, and she would not have known what to do, or where to look, but for that kind man, who himself lost his luggage, and had to go back to the frontier to look after it "He said this was the best Jiotel, and I had better go to it, and then telegraph," she repeated. looking out, as the omnibus got into motion, with wistful eyes at the passengers in the streets. "Yon must stay with me till tbey tarn up," soldi, "that will be the simplest way; if they are not at the Leon d'Oro, we can send the porter around to the other hotels, and you will soon hear from them, yon may be sure. They must have been detained somehow, or mistaken the hour, or bnt till you hear of them you must stay with me." "Ob, may I? thank yon so very ranch," soft face; and then she returned to the trib out with 500 and 200 lights respectively, and over a score of emblems on the public streets have each from 80 to 250 lights. . In addition to these emblems, .50 street intersection stringers are so arranged as to harmonize with the other Illuminations and give to the whole a charming and fairy-like appearance. The dazzling display fi not, however, confined to these public illumi nations, whioh were prepared t the ex pense of the local triennial command, and the citizens at large. BEBCOTTLSirXkAXBTTHBEE, , IJlllan Kennedy as Charming a Ever In a New Comedy Drama. How many times has the poor but honest maiden married the wealthy aristocrat, upon the stage, to her temporary discomfi ture? And how often has the wicked inter loping villain kept the audience guessing when his lastiplot will have been plotted? The familiar virtuous young lady of humble origin, her wealthy hubby and the inevi table villain with the curling lip and the anarchistlo hair, are all at home in "She Couldn't Marry Three," the new comedy drama produced at the Blfou Theater last night At far as- the play goes there is not a great deal that is new in it; the old, old melodramatio material being woven in with some irrelevant comedy, and the songs and dances which Miss Kennedy affects. The title "She Couldn't Marry Three" which is a taking trap for the theatergoer gives a clew to the main line of the plot. A young and simple fisher girl is loved by three men, and with not the best sense she chooses a wealthy aristocrat instead of an honest fisherman of her own station in life. She wisely throws a scamp aside, however though, by the way, ft is not clear that he wants her till she is some body else's wife. This scamp lays all sorts of traps for the young couple and finally succeeds in separating them. But though he plots in approved style till the very last and tries hard to have his rival, the lawful husband, run over by a railroad train, the villain dies in due time by the hand of the fisherman and platonio lover of the lady fair. Miss Kennedy, in the guise of the fisher girl heroine, made a pretty picture. She is a capital actress, who sometimes suggests Lotta, but who has a dainty sentimental side as well. Last night she was plainly suffering trom a bad cold, in spite of which she sang bravely. Her gracefulness is strongly shown in her dancing. John J. Kennedy's delineation of a raw yokel was broadly humorous, and the scene lifted from "A Bough Diamond," in which the rustlo Philistine visits his elevated rela tives, was the funniest thing of the evening. Messrs. Lewis Mabb and George W. Bar bier as the aristocratio hero ana the deep dyed villain respectively were satisfactory. The ruins of Tynemoutu Priorv made a picturesque scene, and the rest of the scenery was pretty good. The "great rail road scene," as usual with these attempts at terrific realism, was decidedly funny, al though the locomotive spouted showers of real sparks and snorted in and out of season under the compnlsion of real steam. The audience was very large and enthusiastio considering the heat. Fans were out in great foroe. DBAHATIC C0NFE5SI0H IN COURT. The Statement or a Polish Hebrew TV ho Is to Be Extradited for Murder. Montreal, Ang. 8. There was a sen sation In court this afternoon when extra dition proceedings in the case of Harris Blank and Charles Bosenweig, two Polish Hebrews arrested here some time ago on a charge of murdering a young Hebrew peddler named Marks, belonging to Tow anda, Pa., were continued before Judge Dago j. When the case was called Blank said he wanted to make a sworn confession, Bosenweig lumped to his feet and said, "Yon are a bloodsucker." Blank replied, "You killed Marks and I am going to tell the truth." Bosenweig was told to keep silent, and Blank then made a sworn statement, in which he deolared that while three men were in the Dutch Mountains, Bosenweig had declared his intention of killing Marks for his money. Witness tried to prevent him, but while Marks and Bosenweig were alone Bosenweig shot Marks. When witness ar rived on the scene Marks was dead. Bosen weig then carried off the body and hid it, and afterward rejoined witness. Bosenweig denies the story. Both men will be com mitted tor extradition. Lost and Found a Raving Maniac Johnstown, Ang. a Special. A week ago John McCormiok, aged 80 years, wan dered away from his home near Ebensbnrg. The community was aroused and the.coun try around was searched, but without avail, and he was given up as lost. Yesterday he was found sitting beside amountalh stream, bnt he had become a raving maniao and It required four strong men to overcome him. ulations of the journey, and the horror of not seeing any face she knew when she ar rived. "And I can't speak a word," she added, in a little soft accent of wondering despair. "We can speak a great many words, Johnson and I," Z replied; "they are not nicely put together, and a critic might ob ject to our conversational style, but we manage to get on and nowadays there is no difficulty in getting on, for everybody speaks English at the hotels; so you may be quite at your ease as far as that is con cerned. It used to be very different in my time, I remember " and then I began a little story of my old experience, hoping to divert her; but though she listened civilly for a moment, and gave me a small smile, I could see that my elderly anecdotes had no interest for the little girl. Her eyes strayed after every new pair appearing in the street, with a special interest in stout persons, which revealed to me the vision of a portly mamma. And what a state of mind that portly mamma must be in, if she were an ordinary English mother, and was now figuring to herself her daughter's arrival in the midst of a popula tion composed ohiefiy o.f Italian brigands ready to pounce upon her and her goods, as the ordinary British matron is accustomed to suppose, I shuddered to imagine. In the meantime I may as well mention who I my self am. and how it was that I was specially adapted to take this little stray in hand. I am Miss Stanley Drummond, of a family not unknown on either side of the House, middle-aged, or a little more (people draw that line so differently, according to their own ideas, or shall I say their own years?), one of the many unmarried English ladies who are to be found in all the hotels upon every highway in Europe, and even, I believe, beyomi Europe. I am obliged to say that I think there are far too many of us about the world. I am not one who despises my own kind, or pre tends to prefer men's society, or any of those afiectatlons which are current; but I confess that I like a little variety, and that to be surrounded solely by persons of my own sex,, in pretty much the same condi tions of life, about my own age, and, in short, reproductions of me with little local differences, is a thing I find tiresome. At Bordighera, ior instance, and various other such places, there were about 20 of us round the aiodest table d'hote, to about three men. And snch men. A mild old parson, of whom one could never certainly say which was he and which was his wife: a delicate youth, taking great care of himself; and some other nondescript This was too mnch of a good thing. The spinster ladies of England are a very good thing; my dearest friends are among them; bnt ton jonra perdrlx the proverb is somewhat musty. Apparently men don't feel the tame objection to herd continually with their like, or else clnbs and smoking rooms would not be so attractive to them. Bat perhaps this it because they have been more 'widely scat tered about the world,and have more varied experiences with whieh to amuse or edify each other. I, for my part, should like a little more variety abng my dally asso ciates; though Ionf ess I do not see how it is to be vended.

A Mania for Stealing Shoes Amonsr the Peculiar Examples. WHT SO MAN! ETAGE FOLKS GO INSANE New Yobk, Aug. a 'Wall street it a great feeder of lunatio asylums. Broker Sittare, who shot himself in the Manhattan Club, is but the latest of a myriad victims deprived of sanity as well as fortune in the speculative whirlpool. Within the last ten years more than 90 successful operators in that great finanoial maelstrom, worth all the way from 1 100.000.np to many millions, have been confined at Bloomingdale. Three of them out ot every five were afflicted with the most rapid and fatal form of brain disease paresis which is swiftly progres sive and inevitably kills. While comparatively rare among people generally, paresis is the usual form of de mentia among speculators. It may be called the Wall street disease, being the effect for whieh the cause is found in long continued over-strain of the nervous system. The gambler In stocks is not merely sub jected continually to most acute anxieties, but, because his business Is so intensely stimulating, he can only find amusement in artificial excitements. As a rule, he drinks and dissipates otherwise, thus burning the vital candle at both ends, until at length he breaks down. Derations of Paresis Victims. One of the earliest symptoms of paresis is apt to be the delusion of expected wealth. The victim, very likely unsuspeoted as yet being insane, informs his friends that he has a scheme for making millions of dol lars offhand. On the strength of his an ticipated wishes he indulges in the wildest an&moit absurd extravagances, baying 500 dozen silk umbrellas ior distribution among his acquaintances, or. ordering a gross of silver stewpans. If he is worth $100,000 he is as likely as not to spend it all on dia monds for his wife. Such an expenditure is a trifle from his point of view, inasmuch as he is on the point of possessing unlim ited means. Thus it is very common for such unfortunates to throw away their en tire fortunes before proper restraint can be put upon their actions. "One of the most extraordinary forms of insanity is a mania for stealing women's shoes,'' said Dr. William Elliott Dold, physician in charge at the Bloomingdale Asylum, yesterday. "It is distinguished as a disease by itself, and the Germans have named it VFrauenschusteblmonomanle.' It is more common among men than with the other sex. There is one case on' reoord of a young man whose sisters lost their left shoes as fast as they could buy them. It was al ways the left' one of each pair that was taken. For a long time the thefts remained a mystery, until one day the brother caught a young woman in the street, threw her down, tore off her left shoe and ran away with it He was captured, and thus the se cret was discovered. Very Peculiar Mental Complaints. "Another strange mental complaint is called the 'insanity of doubt,' the patient being unable to make up his or her mind to do or not to do the simplest thing. I have known a girl afflioted in this way to stand ior hours, deliberating whether to button or not to button her coat She would be equally incapable of deciding whether she was willing to enter or to leave a room. "Misophobia is a species of brain disease which renders the unfortunate fearful of imagined uncleanliness in -everything. She will not wear the same gloves or other gar ments twice, and one young woman who used to be here would have spent all her time in the bath if she had been permitted to do so. In fact, she would not leave It un less compelled, and before she came to the asylum she did on one occasion remain for 12 hours continuously in the bathtub. Yet another form of monomania is a dread of be ing shut in. The patient has a horror of being in any inclosed space like a room, particularly with the doors closed. A similar complaint is a dread of heights. But more strange than any of these, perhaps, is what the Trench call the 'lolie a deux' a delusion shared by two persons. This sympathetic insanity Is not uncommon. It mayocour with husband and wife, with brother and sister, or with other' individuals who happen to be in timately associated. B"or example, one will imagine that he is pursued by enemies with British suhjeot and forbid the elderly single woman to travel, as it would be to attempt to make them unlike each other, whioh is beyond the power of man. It is true that there is sometimes among us a married woman in proud possession of a young daughter, who makes a little variety; but as she has generally been a widow for years, and relapsed into our habits and ways, without the independence on which we pique ourselves, the difference is often in finitesimal. The young daughters, indeed but then it Is hard upon the poor girls to be brought out of their opening day into our robust, but often oynical, afternoon, and harms their natural development One says to tbem instinctively, "Ah, in my time," as I could not refrain from doing even to my little friend in the omnibus; and oar time was so much gayerthan theirs, with so much more fun, and dancing and laughing in it, and so many more of the other indi viduals to dance and laugh with or so, at least it appears now. - This would be a hopeless digression, how ever, if it were not necessary to show how suitable I was to take up the lost stranger. If there had been a man of my party be would have certainly suggested that I knew nothing whatever about the girl, and that probably she was an impostor with design upon my jewel box. (N. B. My jewel box is not very richly provided.and I never take it about with" me when I travel.) I may be told that men are more, not less, charitable than ladies to feminine wander ers who are young and pretty; but this I.do not believe. There may be cases in which sentiments other than charitable come in; but I have always found them very sus picious of what they call adventuresses perhaps because they know more of that kind than we do. Having no men of mv party, Johnson, who possesses certain of J their qualities, assumed tne part, and looked very severely at my poor little girl: though how anyone with half an eye should not have seen the perfect simple fact of that little personage I cannot understand. How ever, 'when we arrived at the hotel, I left the child to give her own instructions as to telegrams, and explain the search for missing parents upon whioh she desired the porter that guide, philosopher, and friend of all perplexed travelers at once to be sent; which she did with the distinctness of a person quite accustomed to give orders, and not afraid to explain the dilemma In which she found herselC It was only then that I heard her name, and I confess that it startled me a little to hear her give, not one, but two, names of the persons to be in quired'after, whom she had, notwithstand ing, described to me aa her mother and father with a curious transposition of the usual order. "He had better go to all .best hotels, and ask if there is anyone of the name of Hall or Bobertson. Mrs. Robert sonor Hall; or if there is any telegram forme; I u Miss Robertson," she said. It was all very prettily said, with the per fect simplicity of a child who has nothing .to conceal; but I confess that It startled me ior a moment, and Johnson gave me a look. Decidedly, besides being as tall and strong, and usually a sort of protector in any trouble for her heart lsas big as her body Johnson is as suspicious as a man. However, I need not say thi made ao difference to designs upon his life, and the other will be lieve confidently that such is the truth. Forms of Partial Insanity. , "All of these curious forms of mania come under the general head of 'paranoia,' or partial insanity, the patient being ap parently well in mind, save as to the par ticular weakness or delusion suffered from. We observe that society women who be come mentally diseased are usually afflicted with that form of insanity which Is termed melancholia, though why this Is so nobody knows. If it is to be reasonably surmised that their' domestic - relations are not so happy as those pf others of their sex that would account for it You would naturally suppose thai women would be more docile when insane than men, bnt the reverse is in fact' the case.' It is the experience of the physicians in every asylum that the females under their charge are much more difficult to manage than the males. Furthermore, the women are more noisy and are more given fo using profane language. It is a sad change brought about by alienation of the mind, which very commonly robs even the gentlewoman of all restraints of propriety and delicacy. '.'Stage-players are specially liable to brain troubles. Their manner of life sub jects them to much nervous exhaustion, and they are apt to be dissipated. Five actors and aotresses are at present confined in Bloomingdale Asylum. Hartley Campbell, Join McCullougn and Tony Hart all died of paresis. The Drain of a patient who has succumbed to this disease, on being dis sected, is found to have undergone some re markable changes. Under the microscope its cellular structure exhibits abnormali ties, and the membranes oorering it are thickened and congested. The 'pia mater,' instead of peeling off readily from the sur face, is adherent to the convolutions be neath. Kvtl Effects of Moderate Drinking. "One of the most productive causes of insanity is drinking of the regular and 'moderate' kind. I refer to the sort of in dulgence habitual with men who are never known to be perceptibly under the influence of liquor. They attend to business prop erly, bat, from the morning cocktail to the nightcap before going to bed, they are con tinually taking doses of alcohol. The process is actually a species of slow poison ing. Depending to a great extent upon the constitution of the individual, it may re- quire few or many years . to produce effects in the shape of disease of the body or mind; but sooner or later, if the person lives long enough, it is certain to attack the brain." BAUD XTJ8ICIANS AEE ABTI8TS. So Declares Commissioner Hoyne When Asked for the Arrest of Canadians. Chicago, Aug. 8. An unsuccessful at tempt was made yesterday by the Chicago Musical Union to secure the arrest of the famous Thirteenth Batallion band, of Ham ilton, Ontario, as it passed through the city en route to Denver, on the allegation that it had come into this country in violation of the alien labor law, being under contract to play for the St Bernard Commandery, of this city. On behalf of the baDd it was stated that it was under no contraot to play for any com mandery in this country and was merely in attendance on the Hamilton Commandery. United States Commissioner Hoyne de clined to issue warrants on this ground and for the farther reason that musicians are artists and exempt from the operation of the law.

I need not say that I was full of curiosity; bnt I am not sure that it was this feeling or rather a still more natural Impulse which made me suggest that if the porter found them, of course her father would come immediately to take her to the much-desired mamma. "Ob, mother will come herself," sho said quickly; and then with a little embarrassed laugh. "You will think it the strangest thing but though, of course, I shall have to call him father, and there is no other name to give him I have never seen him yet" "You have never seen your father," I cried. And then she told me with a little blush, as If she were somehow in fault, twisting about a little ring on her finger, with her eyes fixed upon it, that she had been for a long time in school in Germany ior her education, though her home was in England; that as mamma's health would not permit her to live in either country, she had been spend ing the winter on the Riviera, at Nice and other places; and that, as a matter of faot, Mrs, Bobertson had married and become Mrs. Hall since her daughter saw her last "And I can't tret used to the new names." she said; "I am always forgetting; perhaps that is why we have missed each other, for lam afraid now that I directed the tele gram when I started to Mrs. Robertson In stead of Mrs. Hall. And 1 have never seen him at all." "It is curious, eeralnly; but I hope yon will like him very maoh when you do see him." f said. She gave herhead the faintest little shake, bat she said, "Ob, I hope so," hurriedly, as if that was a discussion into which she did not care to enter. Poor little thing; her heart was sore over this new relationship. It mast be hard upon the children when a woman marries again, though, of course, to forbid a woman to marry again, or even dis approve of her doing so at least, without full knowledge of the circumstances would be harder still. We sat there for a little while very comfortably, enjoying the rest and quiet after the jingle and shaking of the train, and then I proposed that we should go down to the table d'hote dinner. Tables d'hote, like other things, are not what they used to be. When I was a girl they were amusing, and one saw all lorts of people. They are not in the least amusing now, bnt I keep the old habit of going down to them, partly because it is less trouble and also because I object to the smell of food in my private room. Mv little companion followed me lan guidly, deolaring that she did not want anything, and would rather stay upstairs; but I know at her age appetite comes with the sight of food, however any contrariety or misfortune may seem, to have driven it awar. "We were but half-war down the stairs, however, whea we encountered the A VIKING SHIP Found 140 Feet Below the Surface Near Pandy Hook Lighthouse Contractors Encounter It la Sinking a 'Well Posstb'y Treasure lathe Hold. New Yobk, Aug. 8. SptddL A ship that was sunk ages ago was a few days since discovered imbedded in sandy clay 140 feet below a point several miles outside of Sandy Hook. Some weeks ago Isaao Hathaway Ss Co.. civil engineers and contractors, who hail from Pennsylvania,bat have much public work In this neighborhood, began opera tions on the foundation of a new light house on Orchard Shoals. The water at this spot was growing shallower every year. The sand forming the surface of the bottom of the bay is so hard that after 100 tons of Iron work had been pnt in place the heavy structure sank only an inch or two. To get a full and better supply of fresh water the contractors decided to drive a well at the point at which they worked. About ten days ago 1,200 feet of two sizes of iron piping arrived and work began. Between 125 and 140 feet down the pipe met a deposit of bine clay mixed with sand finer than mustard seed. Then the sharp steel cut the hull of the burled ship, but they were unaware of it until strange jetsam began tumbling out of its top. The tubes passed through her deck and hold, then through her bottom or side and again entered another bed of sand. The pieces of deck brought to the surface were of oak and in a fair state ot preserva tion. It is estimated that her bottom rests in a sand cradle about 160 feet beneath the bottom of the bay. The depth at which she lays and the uncommon hardness of the mountain of sand she lies buried under, makes her discoverers believe she was a vessel of some adventurous Norsemen, and went down before New Amsterdam was on the charts.

And then I heard, a little scream behind me, and I was nearly pushed over while my charge made a spring into her mother's arms. I ought to have been delighted, I know; but I fear the only pleasure this gave me was the conviction that there and then John son must be convinced that she was no Im poster, and that every word ot her story was true. Of course, Mrs. BobertBon, or Hall, over whelmed me with thanks. What would Effle have done without me? How could she thank me enough for my goodness to her child. Also, of coarse, the upshot was that I went down to the table d'hote much diminished in my prospective glory (fori had felt that the general interest and cariosity woald be excited by the sight of my pretty little companion) and much abashed in my spirits, having a very dnil and lonely meal to look forward to, instead of the cheerful and amusing repast which I had expected, with what almost seemed something like a daughter of my own by my side which prognostic came perfectly trae. It was a most uninteresting assembly at the table d'hote, which was served at small tables, very nice for a family, but solitary for one person, who was thus made to feel beyond doubt that she was dining aDsoiateiy aione, though in sight of all the world. After dinner while I sat lonelr over my fire, feeling very tired, yet without energy enough to go to bed, the mother and daugh ter came to see me. Mrs. Bobertson, or rather Mrs. Hall butlinstinctively felt the same difficulty as her child did about the name, which was wholly ridiculous on my part, as I had never heard of the woman before was by no means of the perfect ap- Searance of ladyhood and gentleness which istlngulshed her daughter. She was a pretty woman, rather florid, with a laugh ing, simple face; the kind of woman one could, not bat like, bat who evidently was open" to be married by any schemer who chose, or to do anything which was warmly urged upon her, and which It could be made to appear pleasant to do. She was dressed as like a bride as a certain lingering tense of decorum and what was perhaps more effectual consciousness that light colors were not beooming to her ample figure, would permit her to be; her hair built up on the top of her head in all manners of puffs and bows (she had pretty hair), and her gown made according to "the last and most elaborate rules of fashion. How she had managed to ex'erelse so muoh good taste in respect to her child, and to show to little in herself was what I would not make out, and there was a mixture in her of elation and nervousness whioh was still more tor prising to me. It was evident that she waa very proud of her new husband, whom she quoted at every moment Colonel Hall had gone to smoke hit olgar, "for you know, nothing will ever mske up for the want of their smoke," she said (as if I either knew or cared anythtng about It).

In one word, that one could not help liking her after all. And in the midst of all the flatter of pleasure and pride there was something else, an occa sional thrill of anxiety, a sndden start at any sound "Do yon think that was Colonel Hall, Effle and "Hash, I thought I heard my husband call" which showed me that she was a little afraid of this brand new possession of hers. She carried the girl off at last in a panic, after a furtive glance at the clock, crying outi "Ob. Effie. we must go, the Colonel will be waiting," with a clang of all the bracelets and ban gles with which she was profusely hang about, which betrayed something like a trembling. Effie gave me a look which was full of wonder and questioning, wistful, halt frightened, unsatisfied. It was evi dent that she was very fond of her mother, but not accustomed to be very respectful of her, or confide in her jndgment; and she had no intention, poor child, of asking me, a stranger, what I thought But she could not keep the trouble and the question out of her eyes.

If Mars is responsible for the hot summer, the snow-capped planet got in another good lick yesterday.
