The recitations by the Missw Lillie Heiman,Qrace Qoodell and Annie Taylor von a good(leal of applause. BongB by Btdney Vought,Miss Annie Denier and Miss Grace Gllmartinwere also a notabto feature. "CbubandFollv" ended wltb a chorus sung by all thepupib, The afternoon performance wan con-cluded witb. the Boreamlng farce, "Turningtbe Tables," which was applauded from therise to the fall of the curtain.. The charactersall played 1 heir parts well and ."DeaconDecker" was a great bit,- The cast was asfollows: "Deacon Decker," Professor G. B.Craven; " Mm Decker," Miss Lillie Helman;

Jebobua Clevendall," Louis Heiman.In the evening "Nevada or The Lost Mine"

was presented. Thin was followed by thefarce, "A Regular Fix." A fairly goodhouse witnessed the plays. In both theamatuer acton Showed evidence of the care-ful and long-continued training which theyhad received from, Mr. Bpangler, In

Neiada" Mr. Bpangler, with bis usualefficiency, took the role of an aged, gold-craved man, the leading character of Uwplay, "Nevada." "Nevada" left his bornef n the East and after yean of search strucka rich vein of goldj but in the 'very momentof success is struck down by falling rock andwanders away from the spot in hi? delirium.He is never able to return to the placealthough he searches continuously tor ten

na. At the end, as a clunu,. Uie gold Isdlsooverod by another of tbe miners, "TomCanw," Prof.' Craven, in time to ransom"Dandy Dick" from a supposed Easterndetective, "Dandy Dick," b the Beau Brum-mell of the mining camp, and lover- ofWoselk), (Miss Florence Weir), who is lha petof the miners. "Dandy Dick" turns outto be a young man from the East, who hasbeen plotted against and compelled to fleeto the West because be was in the way of

HissLittle Hagnlra gracefully took the part ot"Agneslairlee." "Vermont" and "MotherMorton," who wen respectively, ItaebenBurcheU u d Mils Mary Drummer, were twocharacters of tbe mining camp "Vermont,'shrouJed in mystery, his history beingknown to no one, was so called from his nativestate. " Mother Merton," was tbe wife of aminer who had came to tha settlement andthere died, having Us wife to obtain a liv-ing as general caretaker of "the boys.1'Another picturesque otwnottr was "SilasBfeele," impsnonated by that favorite ofDover theatre-goers, the versatile Mr. Mea-foy. Two cbarMters, not yet mentioned,who should not be forgotten on account ofthe variety anil spice which they gave to theplay, were Louis Helman in the role of aloud .talking, superstitious negro, "Jube,"and Ernest Gocdell as " Win kye," a sociableand comical Chinaman.

Between the acts several selections wererendered on an Edison Phonograph, operatedby Frank Bolitho, In the Intermission be-tween "Nevada'.' and "A Regular Fix" achorus of twelve school girls sang.; PrincipalHulsart then awarded a gold medal to ArthurMartin, who had sold ths greatest number oftickets for the library benefit. Mr. Hulaart'sbrief presentation address was followed by asolo by Miss Charlotte Temby. Her singingwas most enjoyable. After a piano solo by;

Arthur Martin the curtain rose on "A Beg-olorFli," W, H. Spangler, in thoroleofnbankrupt young blood and high flier, "Hughde Brass," hss wandered into a Btrangehouse, presumably to recover from theeffects of a night's debauch. His "regu-

ux1* Is to make excuses and getout of his scrape but he U prevented fromdoing thelast by a sight of a collector layingfor him. So ha has to content himself withthe former, and makes excuses and tries toput off tjxplanatloiis.' Tbe home of a "Mr.Surplus," Albert Meafoy, is the house whichhas been invaded by "de Brass." He Is firstdiscovered by Miss Mary Drummer, in therole ot" Matilda," a servant. Him Drummerappeared later as "Mrs. Surplus.".

Mrs. Dobora Carter," Miss Mabel Lambert.TUB role of "Emily," the young lady of thobouse, was enacted by Miss Lizzie Magnire.Charles W. Bowers took three parts, "AbelQuick," a clerk; "Smiler," and "Porter."

Tbe farco won continual, applause. Themake-up of all the characters in both playswas excellent

After all expenses are paid the school willhave about $50 and will be able to secure S30,ten for each building, from tbe Slate. Thismoans eighty dollars worth of new books f f/rtbe library. =' '

High School Alnnral Meeting. -'The Homes of onr Poets and Asthora "

was the theme of an Interesting talk by Pro.fneor J. Howard Hu'sart at the regular bi-monthly meeting, on January Slat, of sheDover High School Literary and Alumni As-sodatton in tbe north side school. The at-tenJuamnumbersilabouttorty. In conform-ity with the maxim, "business before pis.,sun," a brief business session was tint held,(Text came a musical interlude, in which apiam, sob, by Hiss Clara Otto, and • vocalsolo, by Kiss Lena Dote, delighted their a»-dience. Professor Hulaart's di»ourso was nexton the programme.

An interesting coincidence, Mr. Hulsartsaid, by way of Introduction, w u tha factthat the birth places or residences of seven otthe greatest poeto and authors this couatryhas ever produced a n within • radloss of fif-teen miles, in the State of Massachusetts.That each OM of the seven, who were Longfel-low, WU'tier, Hawthorne, Holmes, Lowell,Emerson and Thonan had gamed such pre-eminence may have been due to the fact oftheir descent from Puritan stock, or to totinfluence of the culture which obtains inthat locality.. It was • moot problem whicheach could answer In accordance with his orher own inclination. Mr. Hulsart want on to'describe the homes of the poeta named andtaescenre In their viotnlty, he having visitedat different times, not only the looaliUes, butmany of the homes themselves. He describedIn an amusing way how he got access to thsresidences of Longfellow «nd Lowell at atime when they were closed to visitors. Butwhile these had all been poets of renown, l»would like to Bay a word for one whose namewas not so familiar to his hoaxers. Tearsago, during the revolutionary period, therelived in New Jersey a poet named PhilipFreueau, wiio did more to aid the canst offreedom witb his pen than many another didwith his B«ord, and It was the shame of NewJersey that the people had so soon forgottenher great men and their deeds while makingpilgrimages to Cambridge, Concert and Bos-ton.

[Special Correspondence]Trenton, Feb. 2.—Both branches of the

legislature held Wednesday seaslonBthis week, thoa giving indication thatthe lerlilatlve machinery is In actualrunning order and that the lawmaker*have settled down to work. The In-teresting event of the week, however,wan the accession of President of th8Stnate Voorhees to the executive chair.It was a very Blmple and yet a veryimpressive ceremony. In tHe assemblychamber, where both houses met BOOHafter 11 a. m. yesterday, a larpe nasem-blage had gathered. President Voor-hees walked quietly down the aisle withFrwldent Pro Tempore Sklnn and took!his seat with Wfl fellow senators. Pros!,dent Sklrm and Speaker Watkins occupled adjoining chairs back of the speak.er'H desk. President Bklrm called thaansemblage to order and Rev. Dr. JohnDlxon of Trenton offered a ferventprayer. Then Chief Juatlce Magrle, talland dlirnlfled, presented a Bible to Mr.Voorhet>8 and administered to the boywho WIIB hie law student some yBarsago the oath of gubernatorial office, theincoming ffovernor responding firmlyand clearly. The chief Justice, the newgovernor and Secretary of State Wurtaocoupted positions on a carpeted plat-form Immediately In front of the speak-er's dwfc. Secretary "Wurts, alter theoath had been administered, made aformal transfer to the new governor ofthe great seal of the stats, accompany-ing the ceremony with a few appro-priate words of congratulation. ActingGovernor Voorheea then delivered a re-ply which, though brief, was so happythat It provoked a atorm of hand clap-pins at the close. This was what ha.•aid:

"I accept the trust which an unusualoccurrence in affairs of state hasbrought to me with an abiding sense ofthe obligation which such an accept-ance Implies. It shall be my constantaim and endeavor to discharge the du-ties ot that trust In the Interest of allthe people of our state. I recognize thefact that my selection is not due to adirect expression of the people, but Ithaa been made In accordance with theirwill ai found In the fundamental lawof the land. Their claims upon mytime and upon ray peit service in theirbehalf are In no way lessened by reasonof this fact It shall therefore be myconstant aim to do everything wherebythe honor of the state and the InterestsAid welfare of Its people from the high-est to the humblest may be promoted.That such may be the result of my la-bom In thli new calling 1B my mostearnest wish and hope, and to this endI Invoke the aid of Almighty God,ruler of all nations, and ask the coun-sel and support of my fellow citizens."

The exercises closed with benedictionby Rev. Ell OiRord, and Presidentfllclrm and Speaker "Watkins appointedSenators Johnson and Braun and As-•emblymen Gledhill, Porter and Allento escort the acting governor to the ex-ecutive department. Here Mr, Voor-hees gave a public reception till 2 p. m.and had a host of calleri. Many oldhabitues of the statehouse gave it astheir opinion that the simple ceremonialof the acting governor's induction intooffice impressed them as far more sat-isfactory and quite as dignified as theInaugural functions with brass bandaccompaniment and gorgeouB decora-tloni at Taylor Opera House.

Gubernatorial Matter*."' Ex-aovtmor Grlggs disappointed Ifoed many of bis friends by not comingto Trenton at all this week. He Bent totmch house Monday night a notice of hisreaignitlon, but most of the senatorsand assemblymen would have liked tohave said farewell to him In person. Inllau.thereof the legislature contented It-self with the unanimous adoption ofrenolutionn highly eulogistic of the out-going governor and wishing him a suc-cessful career as attorney general ofthe United States,

The Benate Monday night also con-lrmed all the nominations of GovernorGrigfi which had been hanging flresince last week. Very few appointmentshave been left over for Acting Governor

. Voorhees to make, for which he may bathankful, as it will save him from get'ting into entanglements that might In;jure his gubernatorial aspirations nextfall. The' appointments at his disposalart chief of the labor bureau, five mem-bers of the etate board of arbitration,six deputy factory inspectors and onemember each ot the state board ofhealth, the state board of pharmacy andthe Btate board of dentistry,

The change In the governorship hasdoubtless reminded Senator Martin ofSussex or Home of his constituents that

' the governor of New Jersey la a wellpaid official. He Introduced a bill yes-terday to cut down the annual salaryfrom 110,000 to 95,000. The amount wasraised during the late Governor Ab-bett's term from $5,000, but members ofboth political parties supported It If ftreduction were now made, It would op-erate only from the beginning of thenext governor's term. But there 1B nothought that Senator Martin's hill willpass. '

President Fro Tempore Bklrm made avery good Impression in his Initial ap-pearance hi the chair yesterday and to-day. He gives promise of pushing busl-aets along at a rate that will permitInal adjournment by the middle ofMarch.

Tarlaos iDTcillgationi.: The Democrats got a chance to bitback at the Republican* this week byasking for an investigation of the meth-ods of administering Justice in Camdencounty. The recent disclosures aboutaa attempt to bribe the Jurors in the0haw murder case down there and thsladlctraeat of Lawyer Harry Scovel ofMonatl for the defense furnished thabaalH for the Democratic attack. As-Mmblyman Allen, the Democratsleader In the.house; reotted the facts

.Monday night and claimed that an Investlgatlon was as much needed InCRMB4«D as In Hudson county,. He

. wanted a resolution for: an Inquiryadopted, but Leader Gledhill for theRepublicans moved simply to refer thematter to the present Investigatingcommittee, which, after some debate,prevalled-86 to 24. Messrs. Cole ofCape May pud Murray of Union, Rt-'publioam, voted with the Democrats,and Mr. McMurray^CBep.) of Camdenadmitted that there was a noisomesmell In his own county.• After Bleeping on it, Republican Lead-sr Gledhill yesterday offered a resolu-tion giving -the Hudson county Investi-gating committee power to investigateother counties. The Democrats claimthis to be a concession forced from theenemy. The Hudson Investigating com-mittee Is making slow progress be-cause of the difficulty of getting thekind of _U>wyer| Jfr 4itlrw as sroje-

cutors. First ex-Assemblyman Corblnrefused to serve, and later CounselorGarrctson declined. A meeting washeld yesterday at which It was decidedto go ahead with Robert H. McCarteras counsel. He waa originally selectedas assistant counsel. It IB the com-mittee's desire to open the Investiga-tion next week.

One of the measures of general Inter-est before the legislature is the act torthereorganigatlonof the boards of chosenfreeholders throughout the state. Aneffort has been made for several yearsto have these boards reorganized on abasis that will make cliques and cabalsimpossible, but so far the legislaturehas not granted the remedial legisla-tion. The present bill provides that thenew system shall not be enforced onany county till the county has acceptedIt by a popular vote.

A Well Conducted Ins t i tu t ion.We are In receipt of tlie twenty-seem

annual report of the managers and office]tbe New Jersey Stale Hot-pEtal at Me"Plains, for the year ending October 81, ^Tbe report is finely printed and in >nith a number of half-tone prints iliustning the interior of the hospital buildings atbe grounds, aod it contains much vaiualand interesting data.

At the close of tbe year the ountberpatieuts In tha Hospital was 1,177—5U3 maleanddM females-being 98 in excess of tbinumber.ln tbe hospital at the close ofproceeding year. The manner of suppor injthe 1,177 patieuta is as follows : 141 are supported by guardians, relatives or friendsare known m private patients and tberemal

• ing 1,030 are supported by tbe r'Bpecticounties of which they were residents, aby the State. There were 294 admissionduring the year—152 malea and 143 femalOf these 117 were born in New Jersey,were bom in other parts of the United Stateand 107 were of foreign birth.

There were 73 recoveries during tbe yearwhich was 25 per cent, of the numbermitted. Tbe number of deaths during tlyear was 76, which ia but 5.0 per cent of twhole number of patients under treatmentTbe large percentage of recoveries and thieilremely low death rate are in themselveflattering testimonials to tbe efncloot raaiagemtmt of this institution and the skiof ita corps cf physicians and attendants. Treport of tbe warden BhowB that the hUBiniend rf this vast establishment Is as -carefullooked after in all ita endless detuil as Is thaof any private business house. Tbe treasurer'sreportflbowsa balance on hand at thibeginning of tlio year of 120,812.17 amreceipts from various sources for theyear amounting bo $313,003.33. The totaldisbursements for the year amounted1333,080.66.

There Is much in the Medical Director's rport and that of the Pathologies1 Departmethat is of interest to the layman as wellto the medical profession.

The citizeDB of New Jersey may well feelproud of this institution and can felicitatethemselves upon the fact that it is equaled b;few and excelled by none tbe world over.

The Board of Managers call the attentiotof tbe State authorities to tbe fact that wbilitbe normal capacity of the hospital bulldingiis for 800 patients there are now nearly 1,20crowded into it and that in tbe event of a flnor the breaking out of a contagious, dtseasithe reeulta might be disastrous Intbeeitreme.They therefore strongly* urge th t t ttie pres-ent legislature appropriate sufficient moneyto complete tlio buildings which are nowpartially erected and upon which tlOS,831.7Chas already been expended. These new bufldings are'designed to accommodate four hun-dred patient*.

WASHINGTON COKRIiSJ'ONIHSKUE.WASHINGTON, 1). C.? Feb. 1, 1

Under the rules (if tlie HOUSH n-> bus neascan ho considered IUICKJ it is nppn>veil liy tlicommittee on rule, unlns n memlwr g-uniitjiiiiiut content to tuill up Home iticai-uhi which be Is especially iuturtbt d. Then- aa few committee, Iwsides the oomniiUce «rules, tlmt have tba power to report a t atitime, but none of them ever exercise thiprivilege over once or twice a session on aiaverage, so that the committee on rulesvirtually runs the business of tbe House.This gives the minority the cbance to abusethe Speaker, as ho is ex-ofllclo cbairmaithat committee. He is called a tyrant*, boss,czar, etc., by tbe minority leaders, and dread-ful pictures of our future are almost daiplaced before the House. Of course thenis always a good anBwer to all this talk, andsometimes th« Speaker, after an unusual discharge of these small arms, kindly -state*that tbe nil-a that govern the House aimade by the metnbo s of tbe House, and,bis kindly, drawling WRY, ha would suggestto tho geullomeu who are BO much exercisedabout it thnt the quickest way to change tberules would be to have those who made themchange them. This usually subdues theeaiMbenia orators for tha time at leant, amthBy retire to the cloakrooms to worry the!unfortunate colleagues who don't mak<speeches.

As a matter of fact, some such ru'e aa tbione given above Is absolutely necessarysuab an unwieldy body as the House. If an;oue of the three hundred and fifty-seveimembers could rise at any time and light forecognition, with tbe hope of getting it if hiwas especially persistent aud loud voiced, thichamber would be a bedlam. It would boimpossible to transact business. Under tbepresent condition measures of worth andnecessity are frequently choked to death, bulAS an offset it should be remembered thaihousandsof bills are billed that should bt

put to sloop. The regular business of tinHouse IB transacted iu an orderly and buai

i s-like manner, debate of sufficient lengthallowed to bring out the views of both

parties and then a vote is taken. The House,unwieldy as it fs, is always In better workinihape than the Senate, where ths dreary flcvof worda may goon for" weeks, just BO longs% Senator eipresBe* a desire to talk on themeasure. And then he does nob have toconfine himself to tbomatter under dlsouBston.The universe Is his, an-1 many a time he triesto dip Into every department before he getsthrough.

There 1B only one stage iu tbe Bouse proceed-IRB where a man can talk on any topic he

pleases for at least live minutes. This ocourawhen thB Hou<e has resolved itself Into theCommittee on tbe whole on the State of thiUnion, as it is officially stated. This is usually done to consider appropriation bills oisome important uiBaBure like- finance or thetariff. The Speaker appoint* u member,called the chairman, to preside, when theHouse has resohed Itself into this committaland tbou the old parliamentary rule of catch-ing the chairman's rye holds good Thotheory Is that wheu addressing tlio committeeyou will COD flue yourself to the measureunder discussion, tbe practice is to talk onyour favorite hobby. While the Indian ap-propriation was uudar direufwion lost week,one whole afternoon was empl <yed in A Ibetween Representatives Qreeu, CurtisKaunas, Simpson, GroHveuor, William AldenSmith and others, as to tbe results of l'opulistrule in Kansas and Nebraska. At the endtome one moved the committee rise; tbeSpeaker cams In and took tbe gavel, and tl;chairman went down to hi < seat aud, addres-sing tbe Speaker gravely, said: * • ' lbeHouse having »esnlved itself Into tho Com-mittee of the Wliolo on the 8'ate of theUnion have bad under discussion House billNo. (here glvlug the number on the India-appropriation bill) aud have vomn to inresolution thereon." Even the Ppoakerirolled. To show to what length; this talk

on foreign subjects in t ic Committee (ifthe Whole may be carried, JmlgoDu Armoiiilof Mlfiiour recently delivered hi* sit' 'speech ou Cuba undi r the flve-minuto rule ofthis committee.

It Is no small matter for the Govurnmentto entertaiu a Miu'ster or rulor of a foreigncountry. President Dole's vittlt n iil cost u» a.pretty penny, when the bills are all auditedHe Is the guest of uur people ofliclally forabout two weeks. As Bucb he rode In aspecial car from Chicago to Waubi gton, and

bile here he raided at the Arlington, themostexpenslve ho el in tbe city. Thetlons, reviews ami other affairs given in Mshonor swell the sum total, until when tli-draft is made out on the contingent « , ___of the'-tate department, It win be found tounount to MTerai thousand dollars. Butofficial etiquette provides that we shall dothis, and the fact that the vMtiug geutlemai

at the bead of a democratic governmentIke cur own, makes the duty all the moreleamnt.

The Arlington has entertained somo verydistinguished people sine thepresentmanago-menthave ha1 charge. All foreign notablesvisiting this country stop there.

Some yean siuce a certain governmentifflcia. received a barrel of r a n Kentucky

OPEN' LETTER TO " I». .1.MY DEAR Him—With a rather poor HI

tutiipt ut irony, you took the (niitiH, inrecent issue of tho EKA, tu lay before ir«.'a<l<'i*£ your views UJKHI 'be tfacliings'n^fitid!!, mid ujmn tlie principli^ of •• at(riitli uc fito lltuugbt, im oipo.-ed t<> Clitiitiaiuty. Iu your cijtieiam you imply weonly that tbe honored Hud distinguished octor and philosopher in question is wofulmliigutded und In&fueere, but that a vertarge pn .portion of bin followers aad aduiirera are fools. Were it not true thatpeople think such sayingB wise, or even wer<this your first offense, I ebould consider you:words as not meriting a reply.

Let it be understood that I do not ariasolely as a champion of Ingersoll, thoughfully appreciate tbe graudeur of his geniiand have fait the " armth of his heart. Moreover, tbe man who for thirty j ears has stoodin the arena of debate and challenged fronevery laud tbe keenest intellects of the churclwho has put to flight a Field, annihilatedManning, aud cowed a Gladstone; and winis, according to hiB very critics, the greatorator that tho English-speaking race has velproduced, Is obviously not in need ofdt-fentler.

Understand, further, that for your opinloni1 have the profoundest regard. Opinion?,honest—aud if dishonest they are not opinious—are not "tbe servants of the will.They emumUefrom tbe brain "like the neifumo from a flower," or, it way be, likeodor from & staguaub pool. Objecting to theproposition that " No matter can exist witout force, aud uo force without matter," youosb, '• Don't you know that * *' * forceexlBted lor coantless ages before matterIsted ?" You simply quote GeaesiB and altempt to hide tbe absurdity of the passage bja baseless assertion of your own. It has bestdemonstrated a thousand times 'acberalfitrjthat not an atom of any known elementbe annihilated. In tbe vast laboratory olnature is incessant change ; but nothingJoet. 'I he carbon dioxide exhaled by Ingersoil in eloquent denunciation of injusticesuperstition may, aad probably does, help bfend a cereal grown to nourish some idi<priest. Nay, far from being annihilated, tinelementary atoms »f which all matter is com'posed cannot be even modified. Tha charac-teriBt'c gr uptog of the molecules may becba ged, but tbe atom Is eternally tbs same.For example, you can Bt nthetioally producewater from the gases oxygen an<1 hydrogenor a poisonous gas by causing oxygen t<> com-bine with a diamond. You can decomposetha water thus formed and obtain, in exactlytnesarue volumes, the gases with which joubegan. Or, of tbe carbon from tbe poisonousoxide, you con, under proper conditions, makeauotber diamond But the com blued prayersand supplications of the world, aud all thego Is that sujttH-btilluu tms created since theflrut savage began to thiiiL, could not makeIcos than two al oins of h> tlrogen combine withone atom of oxygen to form water, or morethan two atoms of tho latter unite with oneof carbon

So It in with foi ce, tb* eternal aud nwoporabln romp plou of matter. Had you beeu

You state, that "tltv law of gravitati nkeeps the nttus In their oounes." Tbe "law"of gravitation could not keep an aiuuaba inits course. It is evi-ient to me that some ofthe Colon 1's critics might attend wiih benefitthe lectures which you propose that be d<liver on law,

Yuu say ulwi that "eleutrlufly in a jxiwei-,id it exists without uinttvr." Puilge : Do

Now for those bird'i eggs. Accordingto y ur Article, a priest asked Ingersoll

"' state as thn only jubtliable oonclusiouthat life, in some form, soiuevtbtre in tbeuniverse, must have always existed. Realliing, however, the littlo weight that my opinIon's carry, I prefer te coiifluo myself to abrief quotation from the most eminent livingblologi&t. Referring to the vtry lowest formsof life, the monera-forma which "haveariwn anJ etlll arise by spontaneous genert-t[oa"-HwckelM58: ''They'proveirrefragi-bly that life is united not to a specialanatomical arrangement of the iving body;* * but to a certain physico-chemical con-stitution of formless materiel. • * * Lifefa tberef re not the result of organisationbut the reverse. Tbe formless protoplasmmakes the organised forms "

In VIBW of the vast array of indubitablefadE, brought to 1'ght by the comparativelycewaudever-troBdenlng science of biology,and with tbe Darwinian theory of evolutionnow accepted and taught by tbe scientific

orld, tho tboistic bugbear a iictptlon of theuniverse can scarcely claim a place hi a welt-developed brain.

Collection and IH«it>initiation of New*Fifty Yeare Ago—Importance of Poetryla Woetvrn Journal In in—Introduction ofI.-,* Telegraph—X Political AposUt«.

[Copyright, 1KH, by Murat Halsteod.]I

When my earlier efforts were madson belinlf of journalism and literaturein tbo west, I was not aware that theywere distinguished from each other. IDfleed, I om not aurB differences betweentbo two wore material and momentous.The average western newspaper in thosedays—the early fifties of the century—did not contain DGWS enough to givecharacter ns o daily chapter of tho cur-rent hiBtory of the world. Tiio weeklynewspapers wero the most newsy, forthose intelligently conducted had snni-tnarieB of iuforinatiou. That .which in-terested liie in the daily paper was tholiterary department— the poem that oc-cupied thB central plaoo on the editorialpage, tho story that led on the first pago,the EH metoday, tomorrow and foreverin tliis—that it was just asgood ouo dayas another, whereas, tho closest defini-tion of nowfi IB that it is Eomethingwhich ia better today thau tomorrow,and in the morning thau in the evening,and in the evening thau in the. morning—that is, it loses value every momentbefore i t is consumed—and oousumptionis publicity, diffusion.

The way tho people of tho -Mississippivalley got tho news of tho Mexican warv/aa through tho Kew Oileaua l'ioayaue,which picked up army letters, returnedsoldiers on sick leave and tbo army talkthat oironlatcd through ships. Enter-priee all along the western rivers con-BiBted in getting an early copy of ThoPicayune by steamboat. Now York andWashington got their news largely byway of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers'and the etngea that ran over the moun-tains and. surprised the people with theirspeed. OooaBionallyaBhipfroniErazoB,Santiago or Yera Craa mode a quicktrip aroaucl the coast. • The Baltimorepapers, The Sun especially, hud a repu-tation for enterprise, aud official reportscame along eolemnly from Washiugtonin tbo infallible but not. tasb Intelli-gencer, New York told us of tho wostabout Europe, of old England and New'England and what tho Nantuclcot whal-ers were abonfc and gave the gossip ofthe seas. .

The telegraph began to compote withthe mall, bnt tentatively! flinging newsIn broken fragments. There wero many

. dislocations and few full,-ol ear, straightstories. The first president's mesEagetelegraphed WOB one of Polk's, and thooperator sending it from Washington tothe few oitiea hitched to tbo wires con-

/ eluded—elated with the accomplish*i M ment of "an- absolutely unprecedented

. „ country, "God nnd liberty, James K,• Polk." Ho was hot discharged, becausohe could notberoplaood. The good peo-ple only wondered a little at the fervorof the president, end the greater num-ber of tbe sovereign citizens always tin*

. deratood that ha was simply a piouoV:; vtxd pbtriotid raan. : . ;

ThBn ha told about.the horseshoe magnet and the openingand closing of the circuits and the dotsand dashes of tbo .Mores instruments.Then the point was for an old citizento Kleot a verse of the Bible and bandit privately to the "professor," whowas the operator, and sent the messagethrough the circuit of the room and

•• about the pulpit, to be received by theassistant professor, located separate andapart in ostentatious solitude—the twoprofessors obviously having no means ofcommunication except through tbe wire,and tho right chapter and verse wouldcome out every time. Sw?, There was nothing that threatened as!

' . the fifties rolled away that: tho telegraphwas soon to usurp the space in the news-papers that had been- held snored to lit-erature, original and selected, and tohjgh'politictrin the form of solemn com-

* mnnioutions, great*speeches and* ex-haustive editorials. The expenditure of

,a few dollars a week by each of tbe Cin-cinnati papers—17 each, $1 a day, andno sheet was isaned more than six daysin a week, Sunday observed especiallyby the Sunday papers, no type being seton tho day of rest. This outlay was boldby tbe tOBpeotivo oonnting rooms to beontragoons. Why, it was paying atmore than the.rate of $1 a day for theBervioe that was accepted, and tbeWhole of the matter transmitted by wirewas not equal to axolumn a day. Itwould not do and could not last. It willbe. noted that the cost of telegraphic)newa was regarded high. It was a novelexpense, and tho COD a tang rooms hadbeen figuring it oat and made tbe edi-torial rooms aware of the fact that more

'money was going for JolegrauiB thau forpoetry. A Connecticut Yankee was re-sponsible for the importance of poetryia westoro journalism. He was himselfa pooti and was the cause of poetry inothers.

If I hadremained in Butler aud my father imdgrandfather could have pulled Koss and"Morgan towQfihipt together for me, Imight have been nominated for the legIdature or got a olorkship in Hamiltonand entered upon a political enrcer inthe usual way, and some thing of thiskind wae snggetitedwith a view to busi-noss^poBBiWy liofof u very pronouncedoharaoter.

Therewere Butler county DeinocratBwho took

NYFS FRIEND DAVIS.HOW HE WORKED THE COSTLY DIN-

NER JOKE ON THE HUMORIST.

A Sadden Advance Iii Price From 25CeoU to 833,70—How Davis Was MaAeto Impersonate tho CWet Jimtloo ufNorth Carolina Fur » »»y lu Wj-oml

WblJo Nye ivns not 11 mountain man tosuch an oxtont, tliero were frujiiuntoixja-Bimia when ho gut into tlio siuuo horizonwith Sum DHVIB, nnd when tlmy associatedLtR'rc were liut timus in tho old towns.

After Nyo had become famous and harttiikori to lecturing huluul an odd adven-ture with Da^ig, "whom oltcn btiforo hohail mot joyously and parted fcoixi Badly.

DHVIB waa working on a Snn I'miiclscopaper, nnd Nyo, incuting him, neked it itwero true that ono could get a royal ban-c)uot In tho Golden Onto .town for tho ri-diculous prices inontioucd by mon whohad btvn tlicro. Diivie said the storiesvoru overdrawn, but etill oiio could nmn-ugo to eilst on what ivtis gut bufcro l)Imuvun It ho did not havo a t.ogful of moneyin hie possession.

"I'll toll you what," ho fifiid. "Youcomo along with me to dinner this even-Ing and I'll take yon to a rotisscrio—oneot these French restaurants, you know,where you can got something for 35 cents,or It you profcr a 15 cent nictil"—

'•I guess not!" cried Nyo, who vracBpondlng f 15 a day fur being allowed tobroatho In tho Palaco hotol. "A quartormeal's cheap onough." '

After they parted Davia hurried to onoof tho finest eating housos in all tbo coastoouutry und bad a brlof but convincingcoavBrsntlon with tho proprietor. Ho alsocalled In to his aid a man with whom hoknew Jtyo hod bad BOIUO plensaut corro-Bpondcnco tuitl whom tho lecturing knight'doBlrocl to meet,

III the evening the three gourmets ap-proached tbo loir of good eating. Themenu cord WHS presented. It was aboutas long as tho Canadian Fitolflo's timetable und luado inontJou of wonderfulthings KBBtronomiaal. But Davis and thoother Ban Franciscan bobttvod with 111temper when tboy saw It. TliBre waa aovariety. I t was DO hotter than tho 10 centmeals provided o» Konrney stroot, nndhero thoy wero procured to pny two bits ahead. Finally thesu two impatiently di-rected the waiters to bring ovory thing tbtitwas on ibo bill, and they would selectsomething HE to cat out of the lot. Mr.Nyo had very littlo hair, hut what be budroeo In a spiky way,

"Do you moan to say, "he gasped, "thattbo priae of such a meal aa you uro order-ing Is a quortorf"

"Woll," Bald Davis, in confusion, "ofcourse 15 conbH would bo about tbo rightprice, but aomcthlug eocnia to bo wrongwith the chef today. Try to make out; alittle, and we'll KO Goniowhcre OIBO tomor-row. I am really filled with shame atbringing you horo to such a poor, dismalexcuse for a dinner, but I hadn't boon Inhere for ft month and didn't know It badrun down so."

The two coastwise mon objected toeverything. It might be considered passa-ble at o 80 cent plncq,' but at a eh op whorethe price was 25 oonta It was inexcusable.Tho worst of It was that tbo? had a guoatwith them, and he would carry away apoor opinion ol San Francisco hospitality.They called tbo proprietor over and forcedhim to apologize to the visitor for thewretched food ho had served. Than Davispaid tha checks, which woro for 26 centsapiece, and Nyo nearly fainted whon tbocashier humbly thanked him.: The next day Nyo slipped oway from allfriendly bands and searotly went uroundto that restaurant. He wanted to haveJmt one more of those stupendous 2B centdinners. So bo ordorod about ono-thirdwhat bo had taken on tbo previous day."There's no use wasting food just booausoit Is provided to generously and at snob oyrice," he reasoned. And he railed for bischeck.

Somewhat to bis surprise the oheckwas for $33.70.

Tbo Davis dinner bad boon a nice, pleas-ant little prearranged swindle put up bySam and bis friend and the restaurateur.

I t was the samo Sam Davis who, pre-vious to this, bad been for ono day cbiofjustice of tho supremo court of tho stateof North Carolina, though be bad neverbeen In North Carolina.

Going east one winter tho mnn from theooast stopped off at Lnramle to renew histroubles wltb Nye, wbowus then justiceof the peace. Tho court was busy with alegal hearing, and when Davis appearedin the doorway Nye Immediately calledhim forward.

"Gentleman of tho bar," bo said, ad-dressing tbo two attorneys, " i t affords mepleasure to Introduce Chief Justice With-

' erspooD of the North Carolina supremocourt Judge, your arrival Is most oppor-tune, and I want yoa to sit bore with me•nd advi&o mo on this case. Join me ontho bonoh." Tbon In a wbispor, "Backma up, you outlaw, or I'll commit you torten days as a vagrant." -

Never WAS R case argued with more vig-or.. This was tho flrsttlmotbtBBWyominglawyers bad ever confronted area! chiefJustice, aud thoy mada the most of I t AtIntervals of about SO minutes tho eminentforeiislo light from the south would request tbat tho court be cleared BO that benaigbtooaferwith bis distinguished col-league, Judge Nyo, upon some abetrusepome Then, while tbo lawyers and otherswent down stairs by the front hallway,these two falsu pretenders would retire bytbo back stairway to tbe market of webmerchandise, When the lost attorney hadfinished his oration, another conferencewaa hold, attar which Nye calmly lookeddown upon tbo litigants and eaid:

"A serious doubt has arieos. TMR is anamatilt enso mioh as I have frequentlydealt with for months past! I havo finedsome defendants and released eorao. ButI find I am In tbo -wrong. Judge Witherspoon tolls mo that by the common law of

But ho very properlyBaystbtit there Is doubt us to whether ornob under territorial government wo arewarkinglntbopur/vlewcf thlslnw. Maybewe are; maybo not. He promises to lookIt up on his return bomo. If I havo erredin previous decisions, the county Is liableto heavy damages ns indemnity.
