THE SA FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MAY 12, I895. 15 ASKED TO EXPLAIN President Cleveland Is Now After Admiral Meade. THAT HARSH CRITICISM. Administration Men Do Not Relish the Naval Officer’s Utterances. PROBABLY A COURT-MARTIAL. There Is Also a Prospect of Sec- retary Herbert’s Methods Be- ing Dragged Up. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 10.—Ad- miral Meade has been asked by President Cleveland whether or not he was correctly reported in a harsh criticism of his supe- rior officers published in the New York Tribune, and upon Admiral Meade’s reply will depend the chance of a court-martial inquiry and his possible dismissal from the navy. Nothing will be done until his reply shall have been received. The affair is an interesting topic of gossip among naval officers here. An officer said to the CarL correspondent to- day that he expected there would be trouble when he learned that “Fighting Bob” Evans and Admiral Meade were to serve together. The former stands very close to Presis dent Cleveland and goes hunting and fish- ing with him. It is believed that the two officers are jealous of each other's au- thority. Admiral Meade is smarting under the belief that “Fighting Bob” Evans’ opinions and recommendations are given more con- sideration than they deserve by the ad- ministration. The same officer said that the depart- ment would doubtless hesitate about court- martialing, as Secretary Herbert’s land- lubbering methods would be unmercifully scored by Meade if that donghty and able navigator should turn loose on the Secre- tary. According to the published interview, Meade explained his desire for early re- tirement by saying: “Iam an American and a Union These are two things that this administration cannot stand. I am a Republican, and a man who lives on the ocean is apt to imbibe patriotism and loyalty. I find these articles at a discount with the present regime.” Th erence to unionism is considered a direct reflection upon Secretary Herbert, who 1s a Southern man and an ex-Confed- erate, and was due to the supposition that the Secretary was responsible for the dis- integration of the admiral’s fleet in the West Indies long before the conclusion of the prearranged programme of evolutions. The records of the service do not show a case where an officer has made such a se- vere arraignment of the policy of an ad- istration, and if Admiral Meade is not iplined in some way for his language many officers of the navy will be consider- surprised. What particular form of on will be taken is a matter of some Some officers incline to the belief that he will merely be reprimanded by Secretary Herbert in an official way, while others are of the opinion that he will be court- martialed. In the latter event, he would undoubtedly be charged with the violation of a naval regulation which provides as follows: “‘Officers of the navy are forbiddenZJto publish or cause to be published, directly or indirectly, or to communicate by inter- view, private letter or otherwise, except as required by their official duties, any information in regard to the for- eign policy of the TUnited BStates or concerning the acts or measures of any department of the Government or any officer acting thereunder or any com- ments or criticisms thereon, or to furnish copies of the same to any person without permission of the department.’”” This article for formulated by Secretary Tracy a few months before the close of the Harrison administration, and was intended to prevent naval officers making too free use of their tongues inpublicprint. Since its publication there have been few in- stances where officers have criticized the department or administration publicly. Retired officers are subject to punish- mentforan infringement of the regulations just the same as their brothers on the active list, so that Admiral Meade’s retire- ment will not interfere with the proposed action of the department in his case. ON THE EASTERN TURF. Libertine Wins the Inaugural Handicap at St. Lowis. ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 11.—The opening day of the St. Louis Fair Association spring meeting was attended by a concourse of people numbering 12,000, who braved the elements and shivered in the cold boreal winds. The track was dusty, and from the half to the three-quarter poles each race was a typhoonin which the hinder- most horses were completely enveloped and lost to view. The event of the day was the inaugural, a handicap sweepstakes for three-year-olds and upward, the win- ner pulling down something over $5000. The distance was one mile. Dr, Has- brouck was the favorite among the young ones until his name was scratched together with that of John Cooper and David. Chris Smith’s entry, Yo Tambien and Urania, quoted at 9 to 5, was much liked. Urania was to have set the pace and Yo Tambien was to have done the winning. Libertine was well liked, and sold at3 to 1, but for some unaccountable reason O’Con- nell carried the most money at the same figures. O’Connell, with J. McDonald up, was left riderless at the half-mile post, the bridle having broken, and the jockey fell to the ground. The horse came in second to last, with his gearing and caparison aangling between his legs. Yo Tambien had a poor start, and did not_get in the bunch until reaching the head of the stretch. Libertine got away well and set the pace for the field, defying any of them to overtake him and finished easy, with the Kendall stables close up first and second. Twenty-two books were opened. Five furlonss, Magnet won, Lizzette second, Roy third, Time, 1:0134. Five furlongs, Beau Ideal won, Virgie Dixon second, Ida H third. Time, 1:08. Insugural handicap, one mile, Libertine (3 10 1) won easily, Urania and_Yo Tambien (9 to 5) sccond and third as named.

Y., May 1L.—About oyle 3000 people journeyed to Morris Park to-day at the opening races of the season in this State under the new racing law, and they were well paid for their journey, for ex- cellent racing was seen. The new betting rules were somewhat of a puzzle during the first race, but after this there was lit- tle trouble, for the men who were known placed their money on the credit system, and the betting was a thing of the past. Five went in the first race, and although Primus fell at the last hurdle the jockey was quickly on his back again. La Fay- ette led in the last half mile and then had to be content with third place, as Sayonara came up and won easily. In the second race Hiawasse led for two miles, Pat Oak- ley and Oakwood going well bebind him until the water jump, when Oakwood got over nicely but stumbled and threw his jockey, Rowan. Oakley won easily. The St. Nicholas hurdie handicap had a good field, with St. John favorite at7to 5, and Judge Morrow second choice. The flag fell to a good start, and Judge Morrow at once took the lead. None of the others seemed able to head him with the excep- tion of the outsider, Red Cloud. The two cleared the last burdle abreast. Morrow, however, stumbled a bit, and finished sec- ond by half a length, both horses being all out. One mile and & half, six hurdles, Sayonara won, Lajayette second, Winship (late Columbia) third. Time, 2:53. Three miles, ele;{slechlse, Pat Oakley won, Playmate second, Hiawasse third.

Paul Shorey’s Criticism on Professional Athletics. The chief if somewhat obvious’ lesson that our modern athletes have to learn from Olympia, if they would not remain barbarians in spirit, amid all the external paraphernalia of Hellenic revival, is that they must strive, like the young heroes of Pindar, only for the complete development of their manhood, and their sole prizes must be the conscious delight in the exer- cise of perfectly trained powers and some simple symbol of honor, says Paul Shorey in the Forum. They must not prostitute the vigor of their youth for gold, directly or indirectly, through division of gate re- ceipts, acceptance of costly prizes or coin- ing into money the notoriety that the newspaper press and the telegraph in- stantly lend to every form of ephemeral pre-eminence. Where money is the stake men will in- evitably tend to rate the end above the means, or rather to misconceive the true end. Drugs will be administered to induce sleep after heavy repasts or overtraining, the professional will usurp the place of the amateur, and highly specialized time- absorbing forms of training, leading to monstrous and_abnormal development of body and slugiishneusof mind, will be sub- stituted for the free and heaithy play of the faculties in leisure hours. But let us assume that we have success- fully banished the commercial and profes- sional spirit, and let us consent to forget, the superior esthetic grace and charm, tghe higher relizious and moral dignity that in- vest the Greek festival, there i§ another consideration that makes it impossible for us ever to take athletics and athletic exhi- bitions as seriously as they were regarded by the Greeks. The modern man is aware of the physio- logical incompatibility of the athletic habit, not perhaps with the soundest and happiest intellectual life, but certainly with the incessant, feverish, nervous activity imposed by the conditions of the modern world. This ogposition of mind and body had not wholly escaped the ancients, as recorded sayings phanes, Plato and Euripides testify. The modern scholar must toil for ten vears in his library or laboratory to ac- quire the preliminary knowledge and master the tools that will enable him to begin to manifest his powers in productive work. To be ready for hisopportunity when it comes, the statesman or captain of industry must slave eifiht hours a day, and hold clearly in mind all the tangled threads of vast and complicated transactions. At this price are won the prizes of modern life, and the men whose hearts are set upon them will not consent even in youth to loiter whole days in the gymnasium like Socrates or Critias or Alcibiades.

HARD FOR HAZLETON. Charges Made Against the Minister to Venezuela. NOW TRYING TO EXPLAIN All the Trouble Caused by the Visit of Admiral Meade to Caracas. SAYS SENECA WAS DRUNK. It Is Also Alleged That the Secretary of the Legation Does All the Work. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., May 11.—Seneca Hazleton, United States Minister to Vene- zuela, who is in Washington ostensibly on leave of absence from his post, will not re- turn to Venezuela. While Admiral Meade was at La Guayra with his squadron this spring he had occasion to communicate with the United States legation at Caracas. The President is said to have acted imme- diately and this accounts for the Minister’s sudden departute from ~Venezuela for ‘Washington. Admiral Meade’s report, according] to persons who know what transpired at La Guayra, reflects severely upon the sobriety of the Minister, and asserts that the busi- ness of the legation, almost from the date when he took charge a year ago, has been conducted altogether by the secretary of the legation, Mr. Bartlemann,who has been stationed at Caracas for the past five years, Mr. Hazleton arrived Thursday, and has since been in consultation with State and Navy Department officials. He has de- sired to present his side of the case to Sec- retary Gresham, but owing to the latter’s sickness the conferences have been with Assistant Secretary Uhl. The Minister has asked for a copy of the charges made by Admiral Meade, but the department has not felt at liberty to give them. ‘When seen by a reporter of the Associ- ated Press, Mr. Hazleton said: “I wish to be entirely frank on this subject. I under- stood Admiral Meade had made a report containing serious charges against me, but I have not seen the report. It isdoubtless due to the admiral’s feeling concerning events which happened during his recent visit to Venezuela. All did not go as smoothly as possible and the admiral was much displeased with certain features of his visit. “Before leaving La Guayra he stated he would report that I was drunk at the re- ception tendered him. This and other things may explain the animus of the charge. When the admiral was about to come to Caracas I received a telephone message announcing that he would arrive at 2 o’clock the next day. With my secre- tary, Mr. Bartlett, I at once made a list of prominent officials to be called on and to be invited to the reception to the admiral. ‘When went about from 4 to 10 . . deliv- ering invitations. “Again we were busy with the work until 3 r. M. the next day, so when the admiral arrived at 2 o'clock I was almost ex- hausted. Mr. Crespo had designated 3 o’clock for calling on him. We accom- panied the aamiral on his call on the President. Then we proceeded to visit members of the Cabinet. “After several of these calls had been made Admiral Meade grew impatient. He said it was improper for an admiral to be driving about making calls on the Cabinet. We had already made several calls, so 1 said to Admiral Meade it would be a serfous reflection on whom he failed to call after having seen their colleagues. “I reminded him that I would have to re- main in Venezuela after he left, and that I did not wish such an embarrassment to occur. He consented to proceed. Then we were delayed about thirty seconds at the door of the Cabinet officers. This also ir- ritated the admiral, and he resented what he regarded as an undignified proceeding. He consented, however, to go through with the calls after giving free expression to his criticism and disapproval. He de- clared that it was an unusual course for an admiral to be making calls on the Cabinet. I had relied on the five years’ experience of Mr. Bartlemann, my secre- tary, who said it was a local custom. “Another irritation occurred -as to call- ing on the foreign Ministers. It had been arranged that we should call on the Minis- ters of Italy, Spain, Germany and other countries represented and invite them to the reception of the admiral later. Mr. Bartlemann gave this as the custom, but Admiral Meade positively declined to call on the foreign Ministers. As a result they were not seen ana none of them attended the reception given to the American Min- ister. “These things had a tendency to anger the admiral, as I have said, and he threat- ened at La Guayra to make a report re- flecting on me. As a matter of fact I did everything I could to have his visit agree- eble and duly honored. Contrary to re- ports the Venezuelan Government was not greatly impressed with the visit of Ad- miral Meade. He had expected the Cabi- net to turn out to meet him. Two car- riages were placed at his disposal, but this was not sufficient for his party and I added other carriages at my own ex- pense.”’ Mr. Hazleton was asked as to the report that his secretary had done the work of the legation for the last year. “Ihave been in constant attendance at the legation,” said he, ‘being absent only once for four days,and then Mr. Bartle- mann accompanied me. I wished to make his work as agreeable as possible, and as his compensation was a meager $1500 a year, while mine is $7500, I asked him to my house, where he was free from all ex- pense, the only requirement being that he kept general track of affairs.” After giving these and further details Mr. Hazleton was asked the direct ques- tion: ‘Have you resigned ?’ “I have not as yet,” said he. ‘“Has the department asked for your resignation?’ “I am not at liberty to discuss that sub- ject,’’ said he. Mr. Hazleton was informed that from other sources it had been learned thar his resignation had been called for. He answered that it amounted to about that. At the Venezuelan legation much sur- rise was expressed at the news of the rouble over Minister Hazelton. No word bad come from Venezuela as to the un. R}suqnmess on the occasion of Admiral eade’s visit, and the legation here has not been apprised that Hazelton had been 4 other thian agreeable. No Rebellion Among the Natives WASHINGTON, D. ., May 11.—Dr. Guzman, the Nicaraguan Minister, re- ceived a letter from Governor Cabezas, the chief officer of the State of Zelaya, fqu.- merly the Mosquito country. It was write ten from Bluefields and is considered im- portant in putting at rest reports of rebel- lion and the arming of natives in the east- ern part of the Republic.

WHAT THE LIGHTS TELL. The Signals Displayed by Ships at Night and What They Mean. A railroad train cannot turn to the right or left at will, for it is bound by the iron tracks to go the way they lead, and the trains coming toward it are guided by an- other set of tracks to pass safely by. Therefore the engineer may rush his train along over the guiding tracks through the brightness of day or the darkness of night, with no fear save for the most un- foreseen and infrequent accidents. On the sea, however, a ship can go whichever way she is turned and other ships may meet her coming from any direction. The broad ocean, then, may be looked upon as covered with an enormous net- work of tracks crossing one another in all directions, Where a sfiip may be switched from one track to another at will. In the daytime ships can be seen from each other and be turned aside to pass in safety; for not only can they be seen, but the direction in which they are going i known. Still, even in the daytime ce rules must be followed to insure perfect safety. How, then, do ships, pursuing so many intersecting tracks, pass the gthers sa ely in spite of the darknessof the night? Imagline yourself on the bridge of a big ship. It is really a bridge, you know, high above the deck, extending from side to side near the bow, and projectin a little beyond the ‘ sides so 1bal from each end a man can see straight ahead without rigging or masts to inter- fere. It is night, and very dark. Even the ship is only a long, dark shadow under your feet. Over the sky may be a pall of cloud, and you peer away into the darkness, but cannot even tell where sea and sky-come together. All is_inky blackness above and below. Spreading outward from the bow of the ship is a foaming, phosphorescent wave, whict tells how rapidly she is rushing onw:rg over the unseen waters and into the dan- gers of the impenetrable gloom. In the middle of the bridge stands a man holding a wheel and gazing at a comEass lit up by a little lamp. With that wheel he turns the rudder to keep the ship steadily pointed in the same direction by the com- pass. That direction is her track. Other ships may be on that track; other !Mi may be crossing that track in the dark- ness, How are they to beavoided ? On each side of the bridge stands a man peering continually into the gloom ahead, while back and forth, almost incessantly, paces a fourth man, an officer,who, like the others, is continually gazing ahead or glanc- ing at the compass. He is the officer of the deck. On him rests the responsibility of avoiding all other vessels which may cross his vessel’s track or be approaching her upon it. Upon his quickness and judg- ment de; the safety of the ship. Pn the daytime he has seen one, two_or per- haps a dozen ships around him during a single hour, and he well knows that just as mnnz may be around him during any hour of the night. How, then, is he to know where they are and how to keep out of their way? Their lights will tell. ‘When you face toward the ship’s bow the side at your right hand is called the star- board side, and the side at your left hand is called the port side. On her starboard side a ship carries at night a green light, and it is so shut in by two sides of a box that it cannot be seen from the port side, or from behind. On her portside she carries a red light, and it is so shut in that it cannot be seen from the starboard side or from behind. If the ship is a steamship, she carries a big white light at her foremast-head, but if she is a sailing vessel she does not. This white masthead light can be seen from all around except from behind. So lon%,. then, as the officer of the deck sees no lights he feels sure that there are no vessels near him, and paces his watch in security.—Ensign John M. Ellicott in May 8t. Nicholas. e Troops to the East. There have taken place in 1894 some changes which unfailingly indicate the frontier’s obliteration and suggest an adjustment of the Eastern point of view. In Seftember last the honorable Secre- tary of War, Daniel Lamont, put in effect an army order which if announced in- formally and in parn%hrue might take some such form as this: *‘Ladies and Eeqtlemen of the Atlantic seaboard and ditors of the Eastern Press, you will lease observe that in consonance with he new policy of army concentration it would be advisable to modify the terms of alliteration commonly in use among you with reference to that part of the country lying beyond the Missouri River. The West is no longer wild and woolly, but peaceful and pastoral. Indian warfare is practically over; but you may have noticed that the anarchist and the striker have come to dwell ‘in our midst.’ It has been decided, there- fore, to abandon some of the Western foutp and reduce others in the friendly ndian country, transferring the troops to Washington, New York and other centers of advanced civilization, which are yet comparatively unprotected in times of lawlessness and disorder.” ‘What, in fact, was brought about by these September army orders? Certainly the most radical changes ever known in the history of ‘‘frontier’”’ defense. The companies of troops stationed east of the Mississippi were increased in number from one hundred to one hun- dred and nineteen—the West being the loser. Eight companies were contributed by the Department of Dakota, four by Colorado, and seven by the Department of the Platte, to swell the roster of troops under General Howard’s command. Less than three-fourths of the regulars remain in the West, so that about an equal yropqman‘ of soldiers to square miles of territory is now maintained.—Wil- liam T.

The famous Mayor had a bank account, of course—in fact he had several of them, but he never drew upon them in the regular way, through the medium of checks. Whenever any one came to him with a bill Mr. Vaux would fpn.y it in a very unique way. The back of an old envelope or a fragment of lpnper of any_kind or size would serve for a check, and upon this he would sribble the amount of the bill, the name of the creditor and his own char- acteristic signature, He very frequently used a strip from the m: of a news- Danor The tellers at the banks all knew of Mr. Vaux’s strange custom, and none of Mr. Vaux’s home-made checks were ever turned down.—Philadelphia Record. —————— John Quincy Adams said, “All that T am my mother made me.” 'BLAND TALKS SILVER, Interesting Lecture of the Ex-Congress- man at Denver. STRUGGLE OF THE PAST. Ruin Wrought by the Revo- lution in Monetary Systems. REMEDIES FOR THE EVILS. White Metal Men Must Unite to . Elect a President, Says the Missouri Statesman. DENVER, Coro., May 11.—The Hon. Richard P. Bland, the Missouri ex-Con- gressman, opened his Colorado lecture tour in this city to-night. An audience that filled the spacious Broadway Theater gréeted the silver champion, who was happily introduced by Senator Teller with long-continned applause, and gave the closest attention throughout his address, the delivery of which occupied nearly two hours. It was a notable fact that fully half those in attendance were women. “I have chosen for my subject,” said Mr. Bland, after acknowledging his magnificent reception, * ‘The Fight of Twenty Years in Congress for the Free Coinage of Silver and the Fight to Come.” This is the first time I have ever visited a silver mining State since this great battle began. I have no interest whatever in the States producing the precious metals, and no sympathy for them beyond the interest and sympathy 1 have in our common country. The losses your silver producers have sustained on account of the demonetization of silver are not to be compared with the losses of the farmers of Missouri in the fall of prices of farms and the products of the soil, conse- quent, as we believe, on the demonetization of silver.” Mr. Bland prefaced his review of the twenty years’ battle for silver with an ac- count of the manner in which its demonetiz- ation was accomplished and gold estab- lished as the unit of value by the act of 1873. “While it is evident,” he said, “from the mannerin which the revolution in our mon- etary system was accomplished that it was done in an indirect and stealthy manner, yet it was the most important and far- reaching legislation on money ever enacted by our Government.” The lecturer then reviewed fully all at- tempts made in Congress to remonetize silver after the effects of the act of 1873 became known. He said the free coinage bill of 1877, which was vetoed by President Hayes, was voted for by Mr. Carlisle of Kentucky, now Secretary of the ;Treasury; Mr. Foster of Ohio, who was Secretary of the Treasury under Mr. Harrison’s admin- istration; Mr. Herbert, now Secretary of the Navy, Mr. McKinley, now Governor of Ohio; Mr. Mills of Texas, now a Senator from that State, and Mr. Morrison of Tllinois, now Interstate Commerce Com- missioner, “The fact,” added Mr. Bland, ‘‘that most of these gentlemen, if not all of them, have changed their views upon this question, should be attributed to the uncertainty of human opinion and the action of public men, for surely the necessity of silver restoration is as meritorious and urgent now as it was then.” Regarding the repeal of the Sherman silver purchasing law, Mr. Bland said: “Impartial history would show that this result was secured by methods most repre- hensible and deplorable. “The moneyed power of this country and Europe had sought to bring our people and their representatives into complete subjec- tion. The vast debts throughout the coun- try were pressed for collection, and when debtors went to the banks to secure loans to meet their obligations they were coolly told that it was not safe to loan money until the repeal of the purchase clause of the Sherman act. “The friends of gold monometallists insisted that the repeal of the silver- purchase clause of the Sherman act would restore confidence throughout the coun- try, invite an inflow of gold to our shores and would bring universal prosperity. Just the reverse has occurred. We have sold bonds to the amount of $112,000,000 since the repeal in order to check the flow of gold from our shores and to maintain the single gold standard. The gold mono- metallists have given the people an object- lesson indeed—one that they will not forget—an object-lesson that has been the best educator in favor of bimetallism that could have possibly taken place. “In all the great battles in Congress on the silver question the Southern people, while enthusiastic for silver, have had that sympathy and enthusiasm ciouded with the dread of force bills or Federal inter- ference with their local self-government. Fortunately, however, in the great battle over the force bill in the Senate the Sena- tors of the West, and especially of the gold and silver mining States, in their opposi- tion to this measure, which resulted in its final overthrow and defeat, have given assurance to the people of the South that their political reliance, both for the safety of their home government and their pros- perity on economic questions, point to the West. “The day has now come when war issues cannot longer dominate our politics. The battle of the standards is the greatest battle to be fought in this country and the world over. This vast country of ours of forty-four independent States and other vast territory, with over seventy billions of wealth, increasing at the rate of more than a billion annually, is strong enough to maintain its own monetary system, to open the mints to the free coinage of gold and silver, and thus again restore, not only to ourselves but to the world, the old order of things, by which gold and silver circulated side by side, aiding and sup- porting each other in giving labor employ- ment and effecting the exchanges of com- merce. “In conclusion, attention should be called to the fact that no President since 1873 has been a friend of silver. The bat~ tle to be fought and the all-important point to gain is to secure a President who will sign a free coinage bill if sent to him, and will not use the power and patronage of his office to prevent such a bill coming to him, but on the contrary will recom- mend such legislation. If we can once secure such a President the battle is won. To this point all our energies in the future must be directed. It is not my purpose, and would be out of place in a non-partisan lecture or speech of this character to indicate how that may be brought about, further than to express the hope that every true friend of the free coin- ‘ age of silver will make a firm resolve, and stand to it, that he will not support in any manner a presidential candidate, no matter how nominated nor what party platform he stand on, unless that platform and candidate give assurance of silver restora- tion.” “LAYING” FOR BMR. Kentucky Democrats Resent His Changed Silver Views. WASHINGTON, D. C, May 11.—All advices go to show that a very lively recep- tion awaits Secretary Carlisle when he reaches Kentucky for the purpose of call- ing Democrats to duty on the guestion of finance. Free silver men, among his old constituents, are ‘“laying” for Carlisle. They are armed with every word he has uttered in pullic on the silver question, and are chargirig that the record is full of inconsistencies and contradictions. They are importunate for an explana- tion, and this will be formally demanded by men so capable and adroit that powers as great as those conceded to Mr. Carlisle are likely to be taxed to the utmost in the controversy. The silver men amonyg Kentucky Demo- crats are firmly of the opinion that Car- lisle has completely changed front on the financial question since he laid down the commission of Senator and took np that of Secretary of the Treasury, and they re- sent the change with all the more feeling because it was under his leadership largely that their own views on the subject first became fixed. His was a very rapid rise in the affairs of the State. He was almost an unknown man when he first came to Congress in 1876. The only office he had held at home was that of Lieutenant-Governor in an ad- ministration so colorless that no develop- ment of his real size and guality had been possible. But in the National House he forged at once to the front. Mr. Beck had but recently been transferred to the Senate. The two men were in closest possible agree- ment on all public questions. They touched shoulders like a pair of brothers and Carl- isle received his free silver education from Beck. AN TUP-TO-DATE JAUNTING-CAR. ItIs Fitted With Rubber Tires and Moves Along Noiselessly and Smoothly. A real Irish jaunting-car—called by tourists jolting-car—appeared in Central Park on the Riverside drive last Sunday and attracted genera! attention. The car was equipped with pneumatic rubber tires and it bowled along over the roads with a smoothness and an absence of jolting and vibration that robbed a ride in it of all the terrors which travelers have so frequently described at length. The success of the pneumatic tire on the racetrack sulky and on the bicycle has been so marked that carriage-builders pre- dict its general use on all vehicles of pleas- ure. They have already been fitted to the wheels of handtrucks for indoor use in wholesale stores and warehouses, absolute noiselessness being thus secured. Many of the coaches on Fifth avenue are run on rubber tires.—New York World. —————— Mistress and Servants in Saxony. In Saxony the laws relating to sery ans are rather curious. The mistress is ret- quired to allow the servant one pound of butter and one pound of coffee per month, or their equivalent in money. If the serv- ant furnishes ber own bedding she re- ceives 3 farthings per night for so doing. Three shillings per month_is allowed the servant for washing, and she receives 5 per cent on all purchases she makes. She must give a month’s notice before leaving her place, and must keep a book for rec- ommendatious, in which upon leaving her place her mistress is compelled to state the cause of the servant’s leaving and also her character.—Montreal Star. CARLISLE. N A FEARFUL FIX Terrible Sufferings of a Railroad En- gineer. PINNED UNDER A WRECK, He Makes Piteous Appeals to Have His Legs Cut Off. RESCUERS FAIL TO HELP HIM. Other Tralnmen Badly Injured by the Derailment of a Freight Train. e JERSEY CITY, N. J., May 11.—Shortly after 11 o’clock to-night a Lehigh Valiey freight train ran into an open switch near Klizabethport, where the Lehigh Valley railroad crosses the tracks of the Central railroad of New Jersey. The engine toppled over upon its side and the cars were piled up on top of it. The engineer, William Kessler, of Eas- ton, Pa., was caught beneath one of the driving-wheels of the engine. The wreck- age above him burned fiercely. Both his legs were caught beneath the wheels. He begged the men at the scene to cut his legs off with an ax and free him, but they refused. Jacks were sent for to raise the engine, but about three hours after the accident happened they had not arrived. Fireman Linsberger was injured about the hips and back and it is not thought he can recover. The brakeman, named Bartol, had both hips dislocated. HUNTINGTON, Pa., May 11.—This afternoon as a Pennsylvania eastbound train was passing the narrows near Mount Union a landslide occurred on Terrace Mountain, lying parallel to the tracks, and the engine, tender and eighteen cars were buried under hundreds of tons of earth. All traffic will be delayed fully twenty- four hours. The Burlington Withdraws. DENVER, Covo., May 11.—The Burling- ton Railroad Company has filed notice with Chairman Flint of the local passen- ger association that it will withdraw from that organization May 15. No reason is given for this action. Oneinferencedrawn is that the Burlington takes this step for the purpose of favoring the Union Pacific into an ironclad agreement on Westera passenger business. Another interpreta- tion of the movement is that it is simply in the interests of economy, and that the Burlington will still agree to any reduced excursion rates that the lines remaining in the association may make. . An Injunction on “Trilby.” DENVER, Coro., May 11.—Judge Hal- lett in the United States District Court to- day issued an order on application of Harper & Bros. of New York for an in- junction restraining the management of the Lyceum Theater in this city from playing ‘“Trilby.” NEW TO-DAY.
