The successful candidate is the poll star of the political firmament. The oarsman points to the river asa bed of Towses. “Yer husband don’t be up with the lark the day, Mrs. Sullivan.” “No, Mrs. Clanty, he do be down with wan, quit Lollerin’ fur ice wather an’ I'm he'll be out be this avenin’.” The bolt as well as the bar has its political siguiticance. “Ihave had myself photographed as I was when I worked in the government printing of- fice and several of the departments.” said the loquacious clerk. : “Ah,” replied his frend, “I see; you go somewhat upon the prize beauty principle.” ‘How do you mean.” “You want to be photographed in as many different government positions as possible.” The time has come when current reading matter, news or editorial is comparatively worthless without pictorial illustration. We take great pleasure therefore in sliding the fol- lowing view into the stereoptican: It isa long distance picture of aman who lias succeeded in getting a grasp ona bobtail car in rapid motion. Through an actor's window a fly one day In search of amasement flew; For a nice bald head he had seen that way, While playing his soft bazoo. He capered about in his liveliest jig For as much as a second or two ‘Then slow sneaked off of the comedy wig; And hushed was his soft bazoo. When butter has such strength amassed, What wonder that it runs #o fast? “These regular professional poets made me tired,” remarked the bookkeeper humorist as he opencd his cash book and glanced over the page. “There it is, all written out in nice short lines, divided off neaily into stanzas and every one beginning with a capital letter.

From the Richmond (Ind. ) Palladium, Whether President Lincoln preferred the nomination of Hannit@l Hamlin or Andrew Johnson for the vice presidency in 1864 would not seem to be of suficient importance to jus- tify the bitter quarrel now existing between Col. McClure of the Philadelphia Times and Mr. Nicolay, President Lincoln's private secre- tary. Asa matter of fact, however, we believe Mr. Nicolay is in the right and Col. McClure in the wrong upon the question. We were a member of the Indiana delegation at the Lalti- more convention in 1864 und we distinctly re- member that at the convention it was very generally understood that Mr. Lincoln refused to express any choice between the candidates for second place. In company with Judge Kilgore of this state we made a lengthened call upen President Lincoln the day before the nominations were made, and while the Presi- deut. in answer to the direct question, frankly said he desired his own nomination, he utterly retused to indicate any preference for the vice presidency. We do noty therefore, believe he could have really been urging the selection of Jobuson. Ifthe were doing so some one be- Sides Col. McClure at the convention would have known it. Certainly the Indiana delega- tion, which supported Jolnson, would not have been igno: of the fact. ——— ee CLEVELAND AND HARRISON, Senator Manderson Predicts That They Will Head the Tickets. From the New York Times. Senator Charles F. Manderson of Nebraska, who was in New York yesterday attending the meeting of the Senate committee on rules, has been visiting several portiéns of New England within the past few weeks and he said yesterday that he found in the eastas well as in the west, a considerabie fecling in favor of Blaine as the presidential candidate in 1892. “There is an undercurrent,” he ssid, “which sometimes swells until it appears to be the prin- cipal stream, in favor of Blaine. The current is not as strong in the eastas it is in the west, but still it is there. “Shere is, however, a belief that Blaine will not bea candidate. He 1s regretfully counted out of the race. ‘that being the fact Harrison is the next man. He is pretty sure to be the candidate.” ““Liow do you find the democratic sentiment?” Mr, Manderson was asked. “You may say what you please,” said the Senator, ‘Mr. Clevelund is the only real possi- bility among the democrats. In the west and south even, where some are fond of saying that he will have opposition because of his anti-free coinage views, they cannot get i He is really their only povsil of differences of one sort or comes to making f bo 4 MIDSUMMER WEDDING ‘The marriage last night at West Street Presby- terian Church, West Washington, of Miss Mar- garet Agnew Greenlees to Assistant Engineer Cleland Nelson Offiey, U. 8. N., filled that edi- fice with the friends of the young couple. Nearly all the ladies were without their bats, and by some intuition or perhaps concerted arrangement their dainty white muslins were set off with pink ribbons. The bridal party led this fancy in color. Grouped with the pretty ‘massing of palms and foliage plants in front of the reading desk and platform was a great bunch of pink and white roses. The ushers, all young men, wore their full dress uniform ‘and carried their chapeaux. They were Ensign Philip Williams, Assistant Engineers Louis McC, Nulton and Patten, U. 8. and Lieut. Bertram Neuman, U. 8. M. ©. When the bridal party arrived this handsome quar- fet Jed the way up the aisle. Fol- lowing them re Miss Kate Ofiley, the maid of honor, and two little misses, Miss Annie Greenless and Miss Marie Webster. Miss Offiey wore s pretty gown of white India silk and pink ribbons, and carried a cluster of La France roses. The little girls in their em- ire gowns of white nun's veiling, with their fair iressed high in ladylike fashion, made an extremely quaint and attractive couple. They Carried. Yeskets of La France. roscs, ono of which also was worn in their hair. The bride came into church escorted by her father, Mr. Archibald Greenlees, who stood at her side during the Rosters d until he gave her hand into the groom's keeping. Tho latter wasattended by Ensign Kittelle, U.8.N., as ‘best man. The bride,who is an extremely pretty blonde, wore a trailing gown of white faille, made with a conrt train, which showed at the front the petticoat of embroidered crepe de chene. The Eotiee had long sleeves and the rolling collar inclosed a frill of duchess lace that wn fastened by a diamond star, the gift of the ‘oom. A half wreath of orange blossoms held er tulle veil to her hair. She carried a white- bound prayer book, from which Rev. Mr. Williams, the pastor, read the Episcopal mar- service. irs. Greenlees, the bride’s mother, wore white silk, sprayed with English violets. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Holmes Oftiey, the groom’ parents, sat near the bride's family. The latter wore a handsome gown of blaek lace and grena- ine. After the ceremony there was a wedding re- ception for the bridal party, the relatives and the young friends of the couple at the resi- deuce of Mr. and Mrs. Greenlees on $0th street. ‘The honse was decked with roses and palms. When Engineer and Mrs. Offley left to take alate train for New York the bride worea light brown broadcloth with « hnt of « darker struw.

Smiler charged that the ‘He says he he hears ALL THE COMMISSIONERS HERE, Expectation That the Health Officer’s Case ‘Will Be Settled This Afternoon. Col. Robert made his appearance at the Dis- trict building this morning and went at once to work on the case of Health Officer Town- shend. It looks now as though there was but little doubt that the original statement of Tue Stan that “Dr. Townshend will be removed and Dr. Hammett will fsucceed him" would be carried out. It is understood that Col. Robert had a long conference with the President at Cape May yesterday, and laid the case of the health officer before him in all its peculiar lights and shades, and that the President advised him to stand by Dr. Hammett, as that was the only honorable course to pursue. The colonel arrived in the city last night and sent at once for Dr. Hammett to come to his house. The doctor came as soon as possible and the two discussed the situation at Cre ot When they separated it is understood that Col. Robert assured Dr. Hammett that he would stand by him. Dr. Townshend was among the first of the early visitors to arrive. He spoke earnestly with Commissioner Ross for some time, but did not hand in his resignation. In reply to a Star reporter's inquiry Dr. Townshend said that he called in relation to business conneoted with the health office, and what he had said to the Commissioner had nothing to do with his removal. During tho interview Commissioner Douglass came inand shook bands with the doctor. Then came Dr. Hammett. He paid his re- spects to Commissioner Ross and then beckon- ing to Dr. Townshend the twoadjourned to the hall, where they talked earnestly for time. After the interview Dr. Hammett went into the board room with Com- missioner Ross and the situation was discussed atlength. A messenger notitied Commissioner Ross that Colonel Robert would like to confer with him and the democratic member of the board was ushered into Colonel Robert's pri- ate office. + Their conversation lasted for over an hour. When finally it had concluded Commissioner Ross came out with a large roll of papers under his arm and Or. Hammett went into the sanc- tum sanctorum of the Engineer Commissioner. Boing interrogated by a Stan reporter Com- missioner Ross explained that he had beea discussing the case of Prof.Gregory, the trastee of the colored public schools, who was recently charged with certain impropricties in eonnec- tion with his office. ‘In reply to the question, “WAll the Commissioners take final action on the case of Health Officer Townshend today?” he said: “tL cannot tell for certain. There will be a board meeting this afternoon, I think, and it is possible that the case you mention will be taken up and discussed, and maybe decided.” — THE HEALTH OFFICER STAKES. How the Conditions of the Race Were De- ‘lared by a District Clerk. Ono of the clerks at the District building to- Any at noon created considerable merriment by mounting @ chair and calling out: ‘Well, gentlemen, the horses are at the post for the final heat of the great race for the health officer stakes.

Smith, colored, was tried on two indictments for aseanlt and battery with intent to kill Alexander Demonds and Wm. H. Esk- ridge on April 26 last by cutting them. The parties had been drinking and got to sparring. when, it is alleged, Smith used his knife, giving each ‘of the others wounds. The defendant claimed that he acted in self-defense, but the court told the jury that there did not appear to be any excuse for drawing and using a knife after they iiad been sparring, aud the simple questidn for them to determine was as to the intent to kill. The jury found a verdict of guilty of assault and not guilty of intent to Kill, snd he was sentenced to ten months in jail’ in one case and six months in the other. este Fined for Beating a Woman, George Ferd, a young colored man, has been before the Police Court five or six times ac- cording to his own statement.

The commissioner of Indian affairs has re- ceived no information in regard to the reported disturbance. among the Chippewa Indians at Leech lake on the White Earth reservation. Some time since the commissiéner received a letter from Henry M. Mice, chairman of the Chippewa Indian commission, in which he at- tributed the trouble among the Indians to the non-paymen: of the £100,000 appropriated for reservoir damages. He said that the £901,000 paid to the Indians last fall were of little service to them, as gambling, dancing and ill- ness occupied their time, except wen away from headguarters, when whisky dri was iniged in. The present trouble is of old standing, the Indians wanting their money paid them in cash per capita, while the law re- quires its equivalent to be supplied them in agricultaral implements. Several memorials from the Indians bave been sont to Noble asking that they money capita, but he has persistently refused to com- ply with their wishes. The commissioner not believe that the trouble will be serious or of long duration. HEE Armored Piste Tests.

To the Faitor of The Bvenine Star Whenover a bicyclist is a party toan acci- dent in this city it seems to be considered moc- emary for a coriain class of persons to give utterance to a tirade against bicycles and bicy- clists im general, This has been considered necessary by the coroner's juries, as is evi denced by the recent verdict in the Schubert case, where the District authorities were called upon to stop the reckiess riding of bicycles im the city. In the Schubert case the bicyolist did not run into the doctor, but was thrown off his machine by running over astone. Now, that this was hardly to be at- by running over the pre riding fast or slow. This has been dem- onstrated pract perience of te It being adr due not to the riding of t the doctor, but solely to the that the rider was thrown from his machine by rumning Over stone, would tt not have been in muc taste for that jury to confined ttnelf facts of the case it was conmderin givinga verdict and expressing matter th: ‘That jury was called f termining who was dent (an acciden by every one, A nou-rider) and not for the purpose of inquiring into and reporéug upon bicycle riding in general. It certain! of that Jury to call upon the authorities to «top the violations of the police regulations when he, by continually blocking up the sidewalk on ‘th street, is Violating the same set of regula tions daily, to the great inconvenience of pedestrians, of which I am one, such Yiolation being carried on under the ¥ery none of the = two_—_—policemen aaually standing at the ©: Not only that, be allows his horse aud wagon to stand on the street with being secured, as regaired by law, thus lives. te to quinp bere of that jury will be tound to be equally careless im the Observance of the police regulations.

Brown might con- sider that the t outmide of its legtti- ninte line of inquiry, but he sbould remember that he isa grocer and that inasmuch as the jury was dealing with « groceryman be also Properly came within their tench. The oniy difference between such a verdict and the verdict in the Schubert case is that in one the recommendation ie specific and in the other general. This matter is of more than local import- ance, as the 1 of thix accident bas by this tume spread over the country. peared im the Ti7une recently in Tae Sraa, and last Sun- i au editorial on the subject. The importance of the jury contining itself to the fac: case becomes apparent, be- cause otherwise it conveys to the public am erroneous idea aud caste reproach upon bley- cling in general. Ihave read with considerable care the vari- ous communications which have for the two months ay in the local press, and am impressed with the fact that the real cause for inost of th In no city of equal size in this country do the pedestrians monopolize the streets as much as they do in Washington. ‘They seem to think that they can crosé the street auywbere along the square with the same or greater AapUnitT Take Pennsy wth, For 15th streets, and you will see people crossing diagonally all along the square, something you do not see on the business streets of Chicago, Cincinnati, New York, Boston, Philadelphia or Baltimore.’ This ts the cause of the accidents which we see attributed to reckless bicycle riding, and which cannot be avoided either by f day's Post b the use of lamp or bell. I have seen o- step offa car or herdic directly in frout of biescles, and persons frequently from behind a wagon or carriage directly in front of a bicycle coming from the opposite direction. Ts it any wonder then that eccsdeuts Let people learn to go to the regular c1 as they do in other cities and where they have the night of way, and they will tind that they will have less cause for complaint. Persons Violating the well-undcrstood rules of the road, if they may beso termed, should remember that they dowo at their own risk, and when they meet with an accident should not be in a to rush into print aud complain of the “reck- lessness” of and violation by others, Another and equally serious trouble aries from the fact that so many people in this walk along the streets for squares just there ‘were no sidewalks made end exclusixely for them, and just as they do im those provincial towns where the board of towm commissioners canuct aflord to lay sdewalka, Persons who, therefore, deliberately leave the sidewalks made exclusively for them and waik in the streets should remember that they do this at their own risk and invite the #o- called reckless riding by bicyclists, who now luave all they can do to rideadozen squares without being run down themscives by horse drivers, This calls to minds communication written some time ago and complaining that a bicyclist im pursing @ carriage from behind came up on the left band side. ‘This practice or rule is generally followed by bicyclists throughout the country, I believe, and is founded upon common sense and rience. If you ride behind ten separate vel cles you will find that nine of them when they turn will turn to the right, and if a bicyclist attempted to pase them on the right, as has been said we should do, we would, iu mine cases out of ten, be caught between the carriage and the curb. ‘The same result follows if the nine carriages pull over to the right to allow a ve- hicle from the oppoxite direction to pass. Drivers in this ciiy pay Little regard to the rules of the road. They are coutent to drive along in the middle of the roadway and if you are going in the same direction and wish to ‘you have to go out into the car tracks and the risk of taking off your carriage wheel.
