CHICAGO, Oct. 19—Commissioner Gen- eral Palitschek, representing Austria at the fair, went to Washington yesterday to con- sult with Secretary Carlisie and other of- ficials connected with the customs service. He is making the trip in the interest of all the foreign exhibitors and {s practically a i delegate from the foreign commissioners. | It is claimed by these exhibitors that there is so much red tape tied around the meth- cds of getting foreign goods into and out of this country that they will be seriously de- layed when they begin to pack up the ex- hibits sent from their countries and try to ship them home. . Commissioner Palitschek hopes to influ- ence those in authority to issue orders which will simplify methods and expedite shipments. When the local inspector has certified that a package is all right. the ex- hibitors want to be permitted to make up a | cart load and have no further trouble. They have no understanding with Collector Clark and do not criticise him for enforcing the rules of his department; they say they sim- ply want the rules modified so as to permit quick action. When the time comes to go they want to move quickly. —_=_—— BLUCHER RECOVERING. COUNTESS She Did Not Dic, us First Reported, From the Gardener's Shot. BERLIN, Oct. 19.—A dispatch from Weitzow, Pomerania, states that Countess | Blucher, who was shot on Tuesday by a | gardener, is recovering from the effects of | the wound in her neck. A representative | of Emperor William will be present at the funeral of Count Blucher, who was killed the gardener at the same time his wife was wounded. It has transpired that an old servant of the Blucher family, a man named Ewald, seventy-three years of age, heard the shots in the wood fired by the! gardener when he attacked the count and countess. Ewald ran in the direction of the sound, fearing that someone had at- tacked his master and mistress, and on the| | way he met the gardener hastening to the castle, where he subsequently shot and killed’ himself. Ewald attempted to inter-| cept the murderer, but was himself shot and severely wounded by the fleeing gar- dener. —-___ RED WARRIORS KEEP DANCING. Osages in Okiahoma Dety the Com- mands of the Agent. GREY HORSE, Oil. Oct. 19—On « high plateau, some miles west of here, the Osage | warriors are holding their annual war | dance, and have been joined by about 300 Cheyennes, under Yellow Bear, and several hundred Poncas and Otves. They have | | been dancing now for four days and nights without intermission, and will keep it up for ten days or more, after which they wiil | hold a grand feast. | ‘All the unruly Indians in the territory are present at the dance, and it is feared that they will make mischief. The Osage | ent has ordered them to stop the dance, but they pay no attention to him, and, as all are armed, any attempt to ‘stop the) dance by force will result in bloodshed. The troops on the Cherokee strip have | | been ordered to be in readiness to move lover into the reservation should the In- dians make any attempt to make trouble. ec lea aR OUT OF POLITICS. Ex-Seeretary Whitney Not Troubled wi a Presidential Bee. CHICAGO. Oct. 1%—Mr. W. C. Whitney viewed the beauties of the fair yesterday and expressed himself as overwhelmed. | To the suggestion that he was considered a presidential possibility in some quarters, Mr. Whitney said quietly, but with marked | emphasis: “I am entirely out of politics | "ll be well for | and would not for an instant entertain any| thirty states and territories yesterday, | such idea.” He gave as his opinion that President Cleveland would not accept a compromise | in the fight for the repeal of the silver pur-| chase act, but would insist on unconditional | repeal, and he thought he would yet win. “Senatorial courtesy,” said Mr. Whitney, | “must give way to the popular demand for immediate action. The Senate rules do not include one calling for the previous question, but rules can be changed. The | President {s firm, and it is evident he will | stand by his message.” | eg nine ADMIRAL MELLO’S PLAN. ‘To Land and Establish « Provisional vernmment at Desterro.

I do not think there is much likelihood of the principals coming here, but if they do I shall cer- tainly take steps to prevent it.” How" will you do it?” “That will be found out later,” and he dded significantly, “Sufficient the | day is the evil thereof. — ONE DEATH AT BRUNSWICK.

LOUISVILLE, Oct. 19—Rditor Henry Watterson in the Courier-Journal in a two- column leader this morning reads the riot act to those southern Senators who have obstructed silver repeal and predicts dis- aster for the democratic party. He says: “The Spectacle of the extra session and more particularly the scenes of last few days and nights are enough to call the dead to life in defense of the beleaguered interests and “the departing glory from the clique of southern Senators obsequiously serving a combine of silver mine owners; using their experience and such wits as are left them *o obstruct the will of the peoxle as it was never obstruct- ed before, precisNy as if their own dear lives were at stake.” “Perhaps the immolation of leveland may be retribution upon | the democratic party for nominating and electing him President, and perhaps it may destroy the party outright; perhaps it is ever the will of God for evil to come to bass that good may follow, but the guilty ones will not escape. That is one comfort | amid the desolation which has enveloped democratic opportunities and the irretrieva- ble disgrace which has fallen upon the Semocratic party in having approvingly to submit to the wise rebuke of a republican statesman, and that statesman John Sher- Of the platform pledges upon which the democracy came into power and the stub- born betraying fight within the ranks now waged against. them Mr. Watterson ob- serves: x “We see the official head of the demo- eratle party ruthlessly insulted without a word of reply or defense from Senators who, holding democratic commissions, are | quick to rush to the aid of the mine owners, | in the meantime insulting their democratic colleagues. We see the organization and discipline of the democratic party blown to atoms, not by intellectual dynamite, or the combustion of great ideas, but by a most questionable train of depreciated dollars laid in the darkness, and it is much to be feared, in the corruption of a few silver mines. That is what we see.” And in conclusion: “When tariff reform 1s beaten, when the rescinding of the fed- eral election laws is beaten, when demo- cratic victory ts converted into democratic obloquy and defeat, and when the businv-ss interests of the country, detached from healthy intercourse with the commercial world, are relegated to a plague-stricken comradeship with those nations, to wit, Mexico and Central and South America, whose monetary, like their political condi- tions, are in a state of chronic distemper, then will these southern and so-called dem- ceratic Senators learn in sober earnest that there ts a people to condemn and a God to punish alike the faithless and the in- capable.” ee eS THE GAS PIPES LEAKED. Three Central Park Policemen Over- come in Their Slee, ‘ NEW YORK, Oct. 19—Three policemen who were on patrol in Central Pack last night met at a cottage near the croquet ground early this morning and turned in together. With them was a fourth man, a young blacksmith. All four were found senseless in the cottage after daybreak, overcome by gas that had in some way leaked in during their sleep. Three of them are dead and the fourth lies dying in the Presbyterian Hospital. ‘The dead are: David Lyons,pazk policeman; James Hayes, policeman; Thomas Furey, a blacksmith. George Rogan is the name of the ofllcer who was taken to the hospital. eA eke DIVIDING A BIG ESTATE. ire’s Bequests to Educa- tion, Charity and Refor NEW YORK, Oct. 19.—Charles Bathgate Beck, the West Farms millionaire who died A Mil a week ago, it is said left an estate which | will foot up five or six millions. After vari- ous bequests the estate is divided into seven parts, to be devoted to educational and charitable purposes. The first Institution mentioned Is Colum- bia College, of the law school of which Mr. Beck was a graduate. Nearly a million dol- lars is set apart to endow four law scholar- ships, to establish prizes and for the benefit of the institution proper. ‘The board of Presbyterian missions is re- membered by a gift of many thousands of dollars. The Peabody Home for Old Women, the New York Hospital, the Home for Incura- bles and Dr. Parkhurst’s Society for the Suppression of Vice complete the list of beneficiaries to whom shares of the residue of four or five millions are either given out- right or left as an endowment. ‘The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals also comes in for a big slice of the estate. i pee ened MR.

CHICAGO, Oct. 19.—Between twenty and through their executive commissioners at posed to the entire Thacher system of awards. At a meeting in the Missouri state build- ing the state commissioners appointed a committee of eleven members to investi- gate the whole award system as it applies to states and individual exhibitors. ‘As one commissioner ex) it it is belleved the state boards will wash their hands of all responsibility of the world’s fair system of awards and will go on record as uttering a final protest against the methods adopted by Mr. Thacher and the national board. SECRETARY MORTON'S ADVICE. Farmers Should Let Pablic Questions Alone and Attend to Their Farms. CHICAGO, Oct. 1%—Mr. Morton, Secre- tary of Agriculture, spoke to the national commission yesterday in a way that body has not been in the habit of being address- ed. The vigor and originality of his re- marks provoked loud applause from the commissioners. Speaking of the farmers he said: “They have been ‘worked,” to use the parlance of the day, by jourrteyman farmers who have, for political purposes, farmed the farmer. ‘These organizations, ‘as a rule, have at- tended to every other thing except agricul- ture. They have instructed the public how banks ought to be organized and how rail- roads ought to be managed. They have even gone so far as to prescribe methods of coinage for the general government. The many facilities which have been involved for the allurement of the farmer for his best interests are very catching. There is nothing so attractive to humanity in this world as the possibility of making some- thing out of nothing. The teachinge of many of the journeymen farmers who have organized societies throughout the country are simply a legal fiction. sean Oa An Open Market for Glass. CHICAGO, Oct. 19—The American win- dow glass trust has made an open market for an indefinite period. A meeting was held at the Auditorium Hotel yesterday af- ternoon. President James A.

Reports From Washington Diffe: Construed by Operators. Special Dispatch to Tre Evening Star. thy NEW YORK, Oct. 19.—The opening) of |' today’s market was dull and irreguldy. Fluctuations throughout the mornjhg wéte unimportant, and prices were kept. almost stationary. London was below our closing and did nothing on this side. hep Washington advices predicting a comipro- mise were in circulation, and were differ- ently construed by operators. The genera! opinion heretofore has been that ‘uncondi- tional repeal alone could restore’ values and insure prosperity, but now a period of inflation and speculative activity is. as freely predicted should any reasonable measure be agreed upon. Whatéver''tnay result from senatorial action on the silver question will, in all probabitity, bé only temporary. The marketing of ‘stock on hand would be sufficient to counteract any rally that might result from the. closing out of the existing short interest, should developments at Washington prove favor- able. The professional element is still tm con- trol of speculation and traders are becom- ing extremely cautious in their dealings because of the uncertainty as to time snd character of silver legislation. ‘The only important news of the day was the passing of the dividend on the common stock of the National Lead Company, and as this was not wholly unexpected, had no perceptible effect on prices. : Louisville and Nashville earnings for the second week this month decreased $118,970.

Diane de Poictiers was thizty- ste’ when she won the heart of Henry 1. ‘Pie Ririg was half her age, but his devotion néver ¢hanged. Anne of Austria was thirty- eight, when described as the most beautiful worth in Europe. Mme. de Maintenon was forty-three when united to Louis, and Cath- erine-af Russia thirty-three when she seized the throne she occupied for thirty-five years. Mile. Mar was most beautiful at forty-five, and Mme. Recamier between the ages of thirty-five and fifty-five. The most lasting and intense passion is not Inspired by two-decade beauties. The old saw about sweet sixteen is exploded by the truer knowledge that the highest beauty does not dwell in immatuczity. For beauty does not mean alone the fashion of form and color- ing, as; found in the waxen doll. The dew of youth and a complexion of roses some- times combine in a face that is unmoving and nsive, as though lacking utterly the IWd'spark. A woman's best and richest yeafs “are from twenty-six to forty. It is “atignt error for any woman to regard herielf as passee at an earlier day. Th’ the course of years, however, a time arrives when the coming of age must be recognized, when the muscles begin to re- lax, the skin to lose its polish and round- ness and softness give place to angles. Cententment and good humor will still out- rival all medical inventions as a preserva- tive of youth. A woman, beautiful in all else, but wanting mirth, will grow old, sour, thin and sallow, while the merry, fun-lov- ing woman will’be fresh and sweet, despite life’s happenings and sorrows. ‘ eo oe : Criminal Festivals, Ffoth Popular Science Monthly. $ ‘great solemn popular festival of th Khonds included the annual immolation of a-vietim. After three days of indescribable orgies, in which women often participated @ressed lke men and armed like warriors, the victim was bound to a stake in the midst of the forest, and left there all night alone. In the morning the people returned, with a great noise of bells and gongs, sing- ing and shouting. When the multitude had become well intoxicated with the uproar, and greatly excited by disorderly dances, the grand priests would command silence and recite a long prayer, and would then slay the victim, usually with a single stroke of thé knife. “The multitude, which had been waiting for that moment, rushed upon the quarry with piercing cries, each one trying-to tear off a piece of the ‘palpitating | flesh, ‘to hack the body to pieces. ‘A’ etiminal ceremony exists among the trtbes of the interior of Sumatra, which is, without doubt, the survival of an ancient Md.

K. Astor's right and ability to lead New- port society when she elects to come out into the world. Mrs, Astor has a peculiar tad about her dining room and the drawing | room, from which the former opens. The | drawing room is Mrs. Astor's favorite room in the Newport villa—not the one where she 4s most often to be found, but that one as to the appearance of which she manifests most concern. It is described by the St. |Louts Republic as not at all fin de siecle. Everything is rich and stately, and except for a few modern lamp shades and stray bits of bric-a-brac commands that respect everything does after memory has had time to attach itself. The modern pillow loaded divan would be as out of place here as a baitet girl at a camp meeting. Mrs. Astor evidently feels all this and more, too, |for she has most stringent ideas as to where every article in the drawing room must be located. Each chair, every table and every | jar must be in such’a spot, and every cur- tain must hang in a precise arrangement After Mrs. Astor leaves Newport in the fall, of course the rooms are partly disman- tled, and many things are packed away till next spring brings orders to prepare the |house again. This order produces: a- fine excitement, for Mrs. Astor expects that when she walks into the house on her ar- rivai every individual article in the drawing | room shail stand as it did when she left it. Of course this is quite a feat to accomplish jyear after year, and although the Astor butler has been’ with the family twenty- four years, he found awhile ago that his memory was playing tricks with the Astor chair legs and the table legs had a ten- dency to hunt for new pastures, and the rattan chair might draw the space allotted to the Roman ottoman. Of course this | Wou'd never do, so a photographer was | called in. The drawing room was arranged to a dotlet, with every chair leg in its proper place. ‘Then the photographer made @ large picture, which the butler has since been using as a chart to guide him in ar- ranging the drawing room. Mrs. Astor is also quite as particular as to the arrangement of every detail in the dining room, and that was also photo- graphed carefully with. the table in the desired relation to the chandeliers and rugs, copies left with the butler for his future guidance. Now the butler’s serenity is not at all disturbed, for he knows that as long as he has those pictures Mrs. Astor is as sure of finding everything when she comes back next summer in the ‘she had de- creed as if the tables and chairs grew to thelr respective positions. —— ses Why the Body Should Be Caltivated. From Lippincott. ¥ ‘The important subject of physical” culture is not considered as it ought to be by the majority of men and women, and there is almost absolute ignorance of the make-up of the body on the part of even inteliigent People, with little desire for such knowl- edge, although health, beauty and success depend largely on the treatment given to the body. Mental acquirements are blindly worshiped, while the essential question of health receives little thought, and hence it is almost impossible to find men in, the ordinary walks of active life, at middle age, who do not complain of” impaired health and want of vital force. Without a sound body one cannot have @ sound mind, and, unless proper attention is given to the culture of the body, good health cannot be expected. Plato is said to have called a certain man lame because he exercised the mind while the body was allowed to suffer. This is done to an alarming extent nowadays. rain workers, as a rule, exercise no part of the body ex- cept the head, and consequently suffer from fndigestion, palpitation of ‘the heart, insomnia, and other ills, which if neglected generally prove fatal. ‘Brilliant and suc- cessful men are constantly obliged to give up work though the growing malady of Rervous prostration; the number of those who succumb to it has increased to an alarming extent of late years, und that of suicides hardly less. Few will question that this is owing to overWorking the brain and the neglect of body culture. Vitality becomes impaired and strength consumed by mental demands, which are nowadays raised to a perilous height, and it is only by careful attention to physical develop- ment and by judicious bodily exercise that the brain worker can counteract the men- tal strain. Women rarely consider the im- portance of physical culture, yet they peed Physical training almost more than men do. Thousands of our young women’ are unfit to become wives or mothers, who might be strong and beautiful if they gave @ short time daily to physical development. Alma-Tadema. From Where Art Begins. Alma-Tadema has shown how an artist can imitate marble in his Roman master- pieces by his care and tender manipulation. He has raised the art of the grainer to a very lofty pedestal indeed. In the Royal Academy exhibition, when crowds gather round his antique revivals, it is not the noble Roman men and maidens who force the cries of admiration from them so much as the broad spaces of white and colored marbles which predominate in these compo- sitions; those time-stained, rusted blocks, with the slight suggestion of a flaw here and there; the fron stains showing through the subdued luster of the Roman limestone: the polished pillars and ihlaid floors kept under control, with the veins ‘offered only as an apology at rare intervais. ‘This art of fidelity to nature and rigid restraint have made him the grand master grainer of the age. And yet I have seen as fine specimens as ever Tadema produced on his canvases wrought upon a show pan- el, only that I have not seen the same mod- esty and restraint. The producer of the show panel, as a rule, exerts himself too much and attempts to put into one panel the results of a whole palace, and that is the mistake which makes his work appear superficial and unreal. Alma-Tadema puts no more work in his slab than appeared in the slab he copied so literally, because he never permits his imag- ination to run away with him while he has nature to guide him, and that is the secret of his wonderful success. Se neees Rank of Engin: From Chambers’ Journal. With the Bank of England the destruc- tion of its notes takes place about once a’ week and at 7 p.m. It used to be done in the daytime, but made such a smell that the neighboring stock brokers® petitioned the governors to do it in the evening. The notes are previously canceled by punching a hole through the amount (in figures) and tearing off the signature of the chief cashier. The notes are burned in a closed furnace, and. the only agency employed is shavings and bundles of wood. They used to be burned in a cage, the result of which was that once a week the city was dark- ened with burned fragments of notes. For future purposes of reference the notes are left for five years before being burnd. he number of notes coming into the Bank of England every day is about 50,000, and 350,000 are destroyed every week, or some- thing like 18,000,000 every year. The stock of paid notes for five years ts about 7,745,000 in number, and they fil 13,400 boxes, which, if placed side by side, would reach two ‘and one-third miles. If the notes were placed in a pile they would reach to a height of five and two-thirds miles, or, if joined end to end, would form a ribbon 12,45 miles long. - co ‘The Use of the Word “Ain't” Wrom the Kapsas City Times.

Notes, PEACE AND QUIET Reign in Egypt, Soys Ex-Oonsul General Edward Little. The Khedive Makes a Present to the National Maseam—How a Diplo- mat is Received in Cairo. Until a short time ago Mr. Ed. Little was the American consul general at Egypt. The change in administration, however, caused @ loss to the land of Cleopatra, and a gain to the state of Kansas. Mr. Little, by the way, is a Kansan and one of the rising republicans of the younger generation. For the past few days Mr. Little has been in this city engaged in the usual collar and elbow wrestle with the Treasury Depart- ment, the set-to that is the inevitable end of all diplomatic service for Uncle Sam, and is usually fought on the lines of whether certain bundles of accounts should be tied with red or blue ribbons or certain others be sealed with green or yellow wax. Mr. Little has been unusually fortunate, the department having ruled that he showed a rare judgment in his selection ‘of ribbons and sealing wax, and therefore managed to settle his accounts in a few days, Mr. Edward Little. “Affairs of a political nature were quiet in Egypt when I left,” said Mr. Little to a Star reporter, “and there seemed to be an amicable feeling existing between the En- lish representatives and the Khedive.- The much talked of cabinet crisis, which ac- cording to many correspondents threatened the stability the Riaz cabinet, was a mere flash in the pan and arose simply from a difference of opin- fon on a question of policy, between Riaz Pasha, the prime minister, and another member of the cabinet.

However, the real oficial recep- tion and introduction did not take place until I had been in Cairo some time. Every- thing that had gone before was mere child's play to this reception. By the time ft came off I had become somewhat used to the change from Kansas simplicity to a certain amount of gorgeousness. I could go into my own house, past two glitteringly appar- led gentlemen, with swords, gold lace Jackets and baggy trousers tied in at the ankles, without turning an eyelash. Even in the first days, when I felt myself being overcome by the grandeur of these attend- ants, it had always been a comfort to me to reflect that their combined salaries, .swords and gold lace thrown in, was only S12 a month. “The morning of the presentation there was the greatest stir around the house you ever Baw outside of a fire. They woke me about o'clock in the morning and every inmate of the establishment from the wise consul down to the cook took a hand at helping me to dress. It was a tremendous operation. Pretty soon there was a rap on the door and somebody said the master of ceremonies was down stairs. Down stairs we all went and there was the grandest master of ceremonies ever seen outside of a spectacular perform- ance. The master of ceremonies asked if I was ready and I said, ‘In a minute.’ Then I commenced to put on some white gloves.
