It is this amount wili be largely in- a general invitation to con- indicated, is extended, the small- thly payment being appreciated as the interest of the contributor in t_work of extending the influence the best association methods through- the whole country and into foreign nds. As your committee is (ostensibly at least) ‘at the head of the spiritual work of the as- Sociation, a brief summary of what has deen accomplished and attempted in that department may be properly inc! in this report, although the results under God, are due more to the devoted attention of general secretary and his office assist- ants and the efforts of individual workers, than to any plans or concerted action of your cornmittee. A good beginning was made this year in the series of services conducted by Rev. F. M. Goodchild of Philadelphia during the week of prayer for young men. The direct Feqults in the way of conversions were quite jarge, the average attendance of men at each meeting was over one hundred, and an impetus given to the spiritual life of the association which was evidenced by imereased integest and attendance at the regular meetings of the next month. The services of Rev. Bir. Goodchild have been jal ce i HA f This year has been an active one in re- Ugious work. The high-water mark in at- tendance and reported requests for prayer ‘Was reached in the month of January, a month's record being then made which has Rot been equaled, it is believed, in the his- tory of the association. During the year, jn the several prayer meetings, there Lave been made 1% public rex «3 for praye and the shows, resulting or fol Jowing from these, eighty conversions. ‘The Sunday, Tuesday an] noomlay ineet- ings have been held this year with unfail- ing regularity. The average atten/lance on Sundays_has been 176, on ‘Tuesdays thirty- Zilne, the totals for the year being 9,176 and ‘2.014 respectively. An attempt was made this year to in. erease the attendance at the noonday Meetings, but. though successful for a time, the daily average for the year stands at nine., being the same as ast rear. Let these midday seasons of prayer be borne jim mind and advertised a little by every thoughtful member of the association. ‘Then, whenever practicable, “drop in” and wet the blessing of the servic. ‘The Sunday afternoon Bible class and the Sunday school teachers’ class (held Satur- day) have held the recor? inade in former years, which fact is in itself a high testi- Mmonial to their value. ‘Two training classes, where instruction in the Scriptures 1s a:temptel in accordance with a system specially adaptel to the Reeds of active workers with the unconyert- ed, have been carried on, irzetiag on Tues- day and Saturday nishts respectively. Highty-seven sessions have been held, with @A average attendance for each class of seven earnest young men who desire to Jearn how to use the Word both as sword and shield in the Christixa warfare. Athletic Interests. ‘the athletic feature of the association has reached large proportions, and the re- port of the athletic committee, E. C. Quackenbusch, chairman, was lstened to ‘with interest. The report stated: “Anoth- er year in the athletic department has closed, a year in many respects, like its Predecessors, in some better, in others not quite as we could wish. ‘The quadrennial change struck us at the beginning, and took from our ranks a wumver of those ‘who were among the most regwar in their exercise. Notwithstanding that, the work fa the gymnasium was combicted with the usual activity, and all thro it was a busy scene. Class exercises were given regularly under the direction and supervision of our phy- steal director, Mr. J. W. sim: During the Months of October, November, December, January, February, March aad April class instruction was given nine tines each week, three ‘times for boys and uine times adults, alternating afternoon: ings. The approved licht and ¢ xercise was giv- €n so that men and boys, however weak or | 2 with pleas- strong, were able to partic:ps ure as well as profit. Class drills were very Popular, and many who diJ not at first ap- we of them through lack of knowledge me the most enthusistic afterward. The purpose of our work t» make stron: healthy. systematically te as en and carried spending time in makin= dulging in fancy gymnastics, interest because they viease the eye while they abound in dangers to th particip: A larger number of our members avi themselves of the physical «:aminattons than before, and followed out the carefully Prepared exercises given by Mr. Sims. Thi brought the most gratifying and ing results, as many who wee Witness to the heipfuine sh the winter | special Girections. The aggregate attend- ance exercising for each month wus 2,36. A New Building Needed. “There have been hindering causes which we of the athletic department would gladly have removed, and hope the result of the annual meeting may be in that direction. We do need a new gymnasium and better equipment; we need better baths, better dressing rooms, a plunge bath, bowling al- ley, new mats, new apparatus. We do not hesitate to state that the usefulness of our department would be increased a hundred fold If our equipment were as it ought to “There has been standing between us and the finance committee a watch dog in the person of our general secretary, and we had to be so economical that the economy we had become accustomed to in other years seemed reckless extravagance, but we were met with his usual smile and the assurance that the board would not listen to talk of deficits, so we know what econ- omy means and are real glad that the work has not appeared to suffer because of it. “It is not inappropriate just here to speak of what was done by our genezal secretary and the former chairman of this committee, Mr. W. A. Wells. Aj the beginning of the season, knowing the condition of the treas- ury, and that an appropriation could not be made, they pledged themselves to the fitting out of our base ball team, incurring quite a large expenditure of money. We are glad to report that they planned so well that not only that but other absolutely necessary expenses were met, and to our secretary's management and ‘enterprise is due the fact that our base ball team took the trip through Virginia without a cent's expense to the association. “Outside the regular exercises there was great interest created by informal exhibi- tions. All that was necessary to crowd every available spot was to make known the fact of an exhibition. Four of these were held with every indication of success, and an ubundance of enthusiasm. Outdoor Athletics. “Theclose of last year witnessed our great victory in football. Under the greatest dif- ficulties our team was organized, and with- out calling on the board for more than $60 a team was put in the fleld that made every young man who wore a Y. M. C. A. button proud of the organization. A more gentlemanly set of kickers was not to be found, but they kicked just the same and won the victory of the season when the winged arrow ‘of the Columbia Athletic Club had to fall before the red triangle of the Young Men's Christian Association. ‘The session of 18% began with a game of base ball with Yale ‘varsity boys, March 31. It was a glorious defeat, as the game was im our favor until the sixth inning, though it closed with a score of 13 to § against us. The team played twenty-six games and lost but five, only four of which could be count- ed against us. The trip through Virginia was the feature of the season, as ours was the only club that did as much for their boys, and our treasurer can witness that the same economy prevailed outdoors as in- doors. “The open games, June 24, were successful and were the only ones held in this city this season, so that we, an organization do- ing complex work, took the lead of those organized for the special work of athletics. “The value of the training under the supervision of Mr. Sims was manifeat when we have a record of 222 points, or thirty-one first prizes, seventeen second prizes and sixteen third prizes won by our members, though not always won in our name. We Were successful in Philadelphia, Baltimore, Norfolk and Roanoke, Va., and had repre- sentation at Chicago in the amateur ath- letic championship games, though we did not win. About the Finances. Finanées are reduced to a fine art, as the association succeeds in doing a great deal with comparatively little money. The re- port of the finance committee was pre- sented by the vice president, Mr S. W. ‘Woodward, and stated that the committee has fully realized the responsibility piaced upon it during the forty-first year of the association's history. “We have passed through one of the most critical years, one full of causes for discouragement. At the beginning we were face to face with diffi- culties which are recurrent every four years, and always make for an unsettled state of the finances of the association. This we felt would be sufficient for one year, but in the course of events another and greater obstacle confronted us, and we were fearful of what would be the report that should be made to you at this time. From the beginning it was the policy of the committee to cut the garment according to the cioth, and if it was not possible to re- duce the floating indebtedness we would make a strenuous effort not to increase it. It was very soon quite evident that there would be a reduction in the income from new membership and renewals, and your committee sought to supply the deficiency by subscriptions. The indications pointed toward success in this direction when $3,290 had been subscribed, and but for circum- stances, sad in character, beyond our con- trol, a’ very much larger amount would have been ‘secured. The financial depres- sion and other causes have somewhat de- layed the paying of the amounts subscribed, which we believe are good, and our hopes have not been realized. Yet, notwithstand- ing this, your committee comes before you tonight with a report that is an agreeable surprise to themselves, and we hope will not be a great disappointment to you. October 1, 1892, found us with @ floating indebtedness of '$,8%.%, for which we re- ported at that time. Our expenses had been $13,291 and our income from all sources $11,607.68, making a deficiency of $1,886.29, $500 of which was a note due on Athletic Park improvements. The income for the year just closed was $11,196.%, and the expenses $11,6%.%5, with another note due on the improvements, which had to be included, making the deficit for the year total of $00, or, without the indebtedness brought over from previous years, we have met the current expenses of the year. This shows that, notwithstanding that the i come has been less than the year before by ‘$410. the amount of the disbursements |has been reduced also to $11,69.%, or | $1,597.05. In this we find cause for encouragement, especially as we know that the work of the aSsociation has been so successful. The burden of the association has not rested lightly upon us. We had hoped for greater things. Our minds had taken hold of posstbilities in the way of a new bulld- ing, but that cannot be until we can not only meet the current expenses of the year, but wipe out this total Indebtedness un- paid, $4,393.95. That this is possible ts evi- dent from the report of this year. With a continuation of economical administration and an addition to the subscription lis which ought not to be hard to secure, the coming year should see us free of all in- debtedness, in fact, must see that accom- plished and the new building more than a myth.” The Education Classes. The report of the educational committee, submitted by James S. Westcott, gave an interesting summary of this important de- partment of work. It is stated that the educational course for the winter of 1892 and 18% consisted of the eight branches usually taught, arithmetic, bookkeeping, stenography, typewriting, English, algebra, geometry and drawing, together with the addition of a chautauquan course taught by the Rev. George Elliott. These, with the exception of the Chautauquan course, were open, as far as the association is concerned, only to young men. The Chautauquan course was largely patronized by ladies. No changes were made in text books during the year, but, with the exception of stenography ‘and mechanical drawing, the teachers were all new men. The meth- ods of teaching were left largely to the genius of the teachers, and only such hints given them as might serve to correct pal- pable errors of method or practice. Whenever the work seemed too great for the teachers, some member of the commit- tee would be present and endeavor to aid 2s far as possible in the work of the ses- sion. Every member of the committee was present in the classes more or less during | the term, and Mr. Pugh and Mr. Harris assisted In the work when the teachers were unable to be present and the commit- tee were otherwise engaged, as well as in securing accurate statistics of attendance. During the month of March forty young men were present at every session. Three of the young men did not miss a recita- tion during the year. There were enrolled exactly 3» pupils, and the average attend- ance for six months practically agreed with | the average attendance for October, the first month of the course. The total num- ber of sessions was 31, and the total ind!- vidual attendance 10,350. The average at- tendance in each class for the six months was twenty-nine, while the average attend- ance for October wag twenty-eight. The Chautauauan circle was held in the parlors at 6:15 each Wednesday evening jand was weil attended. The hour was not | favorable to the attendance of young men, but so great an interest was manifested | that the class maintained its sessions until June, Other Reports. D. F. Harris, chairman of the boarding | house committee, submitted a report giv- ing the details of the work in aiding young men who came to the city as strangers to find homes. On behalf of the membership committee Jerome F. John: chairman, re- ed that the membership October 1, 1 x por OM, was 1,215, and since that time there have been 445 new members enrolled. The loss in membership has been 038, making a net loss of 93. ‘The report of the reception committee was made by W. J. Fay, the chairman, in which he spoke of the advantages of the work of the committee in receiving and welcoming young men. ‘The jail committee reported, through Geo. W. Wheeler, showing that the association has worked’ from the lowest class up to the best. It 1s estimated that 15,000 peo- ple have heard the gospel at the jail during the year. There were 520 requests for prayer and 75 professed conversions. Reports were received from the lecture committee through the chairman, H. W. Olmsted, and from the Literary Society by F. E. Tasker, chairman. sei tos FALLS CHURCH. Mr. 8. R.

LAUREL, Md., October 2, 1893. The populists and independents of Prince George's county held their first meeting of the campaign at Flester’s Hall Saturday uight. John P. Duvall, lately a democrat of some prominence, presided and intro- duced the speakers. Mr. E. M. Burchard of Hyattsville was the first to address the audience, and he was followed by Mr. J. H. Ralston, the candidate for the state senate. Mr. Ralston declared that the re- publican party was dead and the demo- cratic party dying, and that in five years the populists would dominate the country. The star speaker of the evening was Mr. Jerry Simpson of Kansas, who held forth for an hour. Mr. Sfpson is rather an in- teresting talker, and intersperses his speeches with quaint stories very much to the point. He announced as the cardinal principles of the populists—free coinage of silver, government ownership or control of railroads, telegraphs and telephones and land values as the ohly basis of taxation. Quite a large crowd, among which were several ladies, was present and distributed quite liberal applause when any good points against the two existing parties were made. After the meeting was over the visitors were entertained by Mr. Jesse Smallwood, candidate for the legislature on the popu- list ticket. —_——_ CHARGED WITH ROWDY CONDUCT. Investigating Complaints Against United States Soldiers. A special from Kansas City, Kan., says: In consequence of the killing of J. R. Hill of New Jersey by a United States soldier on the day of the opening of the Cherokee Strip, and because of other outrages charged to the troops, Col. E. M. Hyde, special agent of the War Department, arrived here Friday night from Washington to investi- gate. He began to take testimony Saturday and most of it is very damaging to the ac- cused. The Rev. J. G@efton testified to rowdy- ism on the part of the soldiers, and said that one man, while drunk, arrested him in the city and was taking him to camp under cover of a revolver, when, by strategy, he escaped. Wm. Brierly saw the shooting of Hill. He ran from the state line west of Chilocco and so did Hill. The crowd started on the run hecause of the firing of two shots by the soldiers. These shots were supposd to be the signal. Hill was among the first. The Rev. D. D. Delong was at the south- west corner of Chilocco. There were thous- ands ahead of Hill when he was shot. He also testified to drunken conduct on the pert of the soldiers when in the city. G. W. Vaughn said he had bribed the soldiers at the booth in order to get reg- istered without delay. NO GUARANTEE POSTED. The Coney Island Club Uneasy Over Opposition to the Fight. It is said that the Coney Island Athletic Club have not lived up to their agreement with Corbett and Mitchell. When the arti- cles were signed by the pubilists recently it was stipulated that the club should post $10,000 as a guarantee that the contest would not be stopped. This money has not been forthcoming, and rumor has it that the club will not post it at all. The agitation against the fight and the attitude of Gov. Flower has caused the Coney Island people to become somewhat flustered, and it is sald that they will not put up $10,000 where Mitchell and Corbett can get hold of it im case the battle is stopped. In other words, their agreement to forfelt this-amount of money is generally regarded in the nature of a bluff. Mitchell is growing quite anxious, He wants to see the money deposited in a bank, but as he has already signed the club's ar- ticles, he feels that Judge Newton holds the big end of the stick. Corbett went to New York from Asbury Park on Saturday and is said to have inquired promptly about the $10,000 forfeit and the club's ability to pull off the match. Big Robbery at the Fair. Half a dozen exposition and as many Jmore city detectives are working on the case of the theft of $10,00 worth of un- dressed furs from the exhibit of Pavel Greenwaldt, St. Petersburg, in the Russian section of the Chicago fuir Saturday night. Several persons in the manufactures building are under surveillance, and the suspicions of the Russian furrier need only a little strengthening with evidence of com- plicity to result in several arrests. The crime was committed by amateurs who possessed themselves with a duplicate key to the chest from which the furs were stolen. It will be difficult for any one to sell undressed furs in such quantity in this country without being suspected of having stolen the goods. ‘This is the second theft of furs from that exhibit, but on the first occasion the prop- erty was recovered. The Russian section 1s patrolled night and day by Russtan sailors, as well as Columbian guards. World ‘air Attendance.

THE CLERKS’ UNION. A Meeting in Favor of the Early Closing Movement. t Addresses Made by Representative MecKaig, Rev. Mr. Eldridge and Others Advocating It. Two hundred or more members of the Clerks’ Union, an organization having for {ts object the closing of the stores and ‘shops of the city at 6 p. m., met at Typo- graphical Temple, G@ between 4th and 6th streets, last evening and listened to ad- dresses by Congressman Wm. M. McKaig of Maryland, Rev. E. O. Eldridge of the Douglass Memorial Church and President York and Vice President C. C. Groomes of the association. In calling the meeting to order, President York stated that all great movements should seek the Divine blessing, and he therefore invited Rev. Mr. Eldridge to offer prayer. Vice President Groomes briefly explained the object of the association, stating that its members believed that the early closing hours of the summer months could be suc- cessfully maintained throughout the rest of the year. The movement had originated among the larger clothing establishments, but all clerks of mercantile houses were earnestly invited to join. President York then introduced Repre- sentative McKaig of Maryland as a friend of all who labored. Representative McKaig’s Address. Representative McKaig said that he had been connected with labor organizations, but never with one which had so inspirit- ing an object as the arly Closing Assocta- tion. Man was but a machine, but he was @ machine which should be given every care and advantage, and every care and ad- vantage given the employe by the em- ployer exercised a mutual benefit. Urging the importance of organization among the employes, he recited the success of organi- zation among railroad employes in securing the passage of the safety coupling bill by the last Congress. There should be the greatest harmony said Mr. McKaig, between the employer and employe. The employe should not permit himself to become a mere automaton, but he should be a man at all times and in all ways. Treat the employer with every con- sideration, with ally politeness, and rarely indeed will the employer fail to reciprocate with consideration and politeness. As had well been explained by the vice president of the association, the same volume of sales created between 8 a. m. and 6 p. m. dur- ing the summer months could be effected during the same hours during the rest of the year. No city in the country was so favorably situated for the purpose of ac- ceding to the object of the association, as the city of Washington, for here there was nothing in the world to prevent all ehop- ping to be done by 6 p. m. every season of the year. There was absolutely no neces- sity for holding open the shop doors a mo- ment later than that hour, and when the merchants of Washington realized that and gave to their employes shorter hours, then would the employers realize that they would be benefiting themeelves no less than their employes. Early closing, sald Mr. McKaig, made better men and boys, women and girls of the employes, for it gave them greater time for rest, for social advantages and all else that made life better and sweeter. So the Early Closing Association should grow, and he felt that it would grow. In conclu: sion, he counseled moderation and perfect fairness on the part of the association, id as a result of that and earnest, per- sistent endeavor he felt assured that the object of the association would be secured at no very distant day. Rev. E. 0. Eldridge’s Remarks, President York then introduced the Rev. E. 0. Eldridge, who, although suffering from a severe sofe throat, spoke for several minutes. In this country, he said, there Was no class distinction, Here every man was a power in the land, and if he failed to exercise that power it was his own fault. Here, without noise, without bloodshed, would be worked out the many social prob- lems which were so agitating the countries across the Atlantic. And that would be done, he believed, at no distant day. So, he believed that the Clerks’ Union would in a short time effect their object. On the motion of Vice President Groomes a rising vote of thanks was tendered Rep- resentative McKaig and Rev. Mr. Eldridge, and then, after Mr. Groomes had invited all clerks present not members of the asso- ciation to send in their names and to en- list all others, the meeting adjourned, after President York had read a letter from John F. Ellis & Co., announcing their intention to close at 6. He also stated that Wood- ward & Lothrop and Mr. Lisner of the Palais Roya} were heartily in favor of the movement. —_——__ Monmouth Park's Libel Suit. W. H. Vreedenburgh, counsel for the Monmouth Park Association, has filed in the New Jersey supreme court the deciaration in the association's libel sult against the New York “Times and the New York ‘Tribune. ‘The suit Is to recover $100,000 ana is based on an article published in the Papers named on the 18th of August last. The article was signed by the executive committee of the Monmouth county citizens’ league and called upon citizens of New Jersey to agitate for the repeal of the gam- bling laws enacted last winter. ‘The article also called Monmouth Park a “monstrous gambling hell,” and added that its present owners were notorious charac- ters, “one of whom made his fortune out of the ignorant and foolish who were duped by the Loutsiana lottery.” ‘Tracy Bronson, racing reporter of the Times, and John 8. McDonald, racing re- porter of the Tribune, are charged with pro- curing the publication of the article, and they are therefore made parties to the sult. “In consequence of the article,” says the declaration, “the association's business has fallen off greatly.” ‘The defendants have a month in which to make answer. —+e+- A Cardinal's Assailant on Trial. ‘The trial began at Buda Pesth yesterday of Csolics, on the charge of attempting to kill Cardinal Vaszary, primate of Hungary. The prosecution showed that the prisoner had been, prior to April last, employed as cellarman in the cardinal’s palace there He had been discharged from the position, and, being desirous of being taken back into the cardinal’s employ, prepared a peti- tion addressed to him. The cardinal, how- ever, was ignorant of the merits of the case, and when the petition was presented to him by Csolics he told him that he must first consult with his household officials be- fore he could give a decided answer to the request. This answer enraged Csolics, who drew a carving knife and attempted to plunge it into the heart of the cardinal. The latter's secretary, Rev. Medurdas Cohl, saw the movement and sprang upon Csolics and prevented him from stabbing the car- dinal, but was himself stabbed five times. —— Trade Marks and Copyrights. Matters religious give way in a measure before secular in the series of the world’s congresses at Chicago for the present wéek. A congress having an unusually strong and interesting program was formally opened shortly after noon yesterday in the hall of Columbus. Its purpose is to discuss matters relating to patents, trade marks and copyrights, and delegates from England, Germany, Belgium, France, Sweden, Austria-Hungary, Holland. Switzerland, Canada, Japan and Mexico, in addition to'over 100'from this country, re- sponded to their names. ‘The opening session yesterday of the women's congress of Christian missions was participated in by a large number of men and women noted for their efforts In mission work. tee Mow the Stolen Money Was Recovered The true story of the recovery of the en- tire $50,000 stolen from the Mineral Range train September 15 has just come out. It will be remembered that Shoupe and Winters, two railway employes at Mar- quette, Mich, were arrested and then re- leased. They stole the money from La Liberty’s trunk and La Liberty knew it, but could say nothing without giving him- self away. They were offered a reward and their liberty if they would confess ani re- veal the whereabouts cf the money. The offer was accepted und the money found buried in the ground four miles north of Marquette. Collapse of a Rhine Resort. ‘The Golden Dragon, a hotel at Konigs- wirter, a resort of Rhine tourists, a short distance below Drachenfels, a noted moun- tain, collapsed yesterday, killing seven per- sons. —_—_—_—_—— MORSFORD'S ACID PHOSPHATE For Impaired Vitality And weakened energy is wonderfully successful! c2a&dbs FUTURE OF THE HUMAN FOOT. The Possibilities a» Shown by Differ- ent Shoes. The boot and shoe exhibit at the world’s fair leads one to view with alarm the pros-| Ix BRICK DWELLINGS SITUATE ON Nori Pective fate of the human pedals, says the Minneapolis Tribune. The wild variety of ingenious shapes exhibited in shoes discloses the fact that the human foot in modern times has ceased to have a shape of its own. It is putty in the hands of the ingen- fous artist. In short, the foot, as to shape and size, is purely a shoemaker's product. If, therefore, we want to know what the foot of the future is to be we must study the trend of the cobbler’s art. In spite of the fearful variety of shapes and dimensions exhibited in the world’s fair shoe exhibit, there are certain tenden- cies of the shoemaking art that are clearly marked and show progressive development. Between the shoepack and plowshoe on the one hand, and the patent leather ballroom slipper on the other, there is a broad varia- tion in the shape and dimensions which the human foot must assume; and yet there are one or two principles which apply more or less in common to all of the widely differ- entiated styles. The one principle which stands out most Prominently in all the schools of the shoe- art is this: that there is but one recognized toe on the human foot. The other excrescences are not to be counte- nanced or tolerated. ‘The definition approved by all shoe modistes is that the human foot is a variable aggregation consisting of four parts—the heel, the instep, the ball and the great toe. The latest and generally adopted canon relative to the proper shape of the, front part of the shoe is that {t should con- sist of a straight line drawn from the outer edge of the bail of the foot to the tip of the great toe. It is true there are many styles of shoes that do not conform rigidly to the canon, but the variations are permitted ‘simply on aesthetic grounds to secure vari- ety, and not at all that not more than one toe is recognized. There 1s sald to be only one shoe in the world’s fair exhibit which distinctly recog- nizes and countenances five toes on the human foot, and that 1s the wooden shoe from Belgium. That shoe, which allots five compartments of space to the toe family, is the exception which proves the rule— namely, that the great toe Is the only au- thorized projection on the portico of the structure. A generation or two more of culture and heredity under the Draconian laws imposed by the shoe artists will doubt- less see the human foot simplified and im- Proved by the gradual elimination of four superfluous, useless and inartistic frontal projections. ———__+e+_____ THE THIN MAN. He Has His Summer Sorrows as Well an the Fat M “Whew!” said the fat man as he mopped the perspiration from his brow and crowded the thin man againstythe side of the seat of the open car. “No one suffers like a fat man in this weather.” “Indeed?” remarked the thin man sar- castically, as he tried to get a little more room. “Yes,” continued the fat man, “we have “more troubles than any one in the summer time. I haven't had a comfortable moment today.” “You haven't?” Do you think I look com- but possibly you think that I am comfortable. A fat man always thinks he has the worst of it, but he isn't in it with thin man. Do you suppose if you had got this seat first any one would have come along and squatted down beside you and crowded you up against the rail? No, sir. You'd have spread your anatomy over it and held the whole seat until you got off. But it’s different with a thin man. He walks three or four blocks, so as to be able to get a good seat and gets it. A fat man drops Into the one behind him and a medi- um-siged man into the one in front. Then along comes another big fellow—one ef those fat freaks who couldn't stand up without blocking the aisle or even the plat- form. He looks along the car and spies the thin | man, and then he comes along and plunks himself into the seat, and the thin man is crushed up against ‘the sides and heated by the great mass of flesh, and prac- tically isn’t in it. He's in luck If he doesn’t have some bones broken. Why don’t you pick out a man of your own size some time?” “Look here, sir, you're getting personal. Do you mean to say that a fat man has no rights on a car?” “No, sir. He has too all-fired many for the price he pays. They ought to have scales on every street corner, and charge for avoirdupois. Then a thin man would have some chance.” The fat man was breathing so hard that every breath made the thin man groan as he was squeezed against the seat, but the latter was game. Finally the fat man blurt- ed out: “I'm @ bigger man than you are, but I have half a mind to punch your head.” “That's all right,” retorted the thin man. 'm a smaller man than you are, but I’m quicker, and you'd never hit me but once.” “What would you do?” “I'd belt you in the stomach.” ‘They glared at each other for a moment, and then the fat man surrendered. “A thin man does have a pretty hard time of it," he said. “It's these medium-sized fellows that have it easy.” id ‘They agreed on that, and trouble was averted. ——__+e+_____ Courtesies to Russian: As soon as the fact became known that the local authorities at Cadiz had ordered a three days’, quarantine of the Russian fag- ship, that arrived there Saturday to await the rest of the fleet that Is to visit Toulon, the Spanish government issued instructions that the quarantine be at once raised. The government also ordered that the visit of the Russian officers and crews shali be made @s pleasant as possible to them, and the local authorities at Cadiz have been in- structed to prepare fetes for the entertain- ment of the visitors, oeee Return of the Navahoe. The American yacht ‘Navahoe, with its owner, Mr. Royal Phelps Carroll, and his wife on board, sailed from Cowes, Isle of Wight, yesterday on her return to the United States. The Navahoe will go to Madeira, and will afterward make a cruise in the West Indies. It is therefore probable that at least two months will elapse before the Navahoe gets to New York. AUCTION SALES.
