This govo tho fascinating young women with articlos to be "chanced" on a better show. Tho victim could not say. "Thanks.no," and glldoolo gantly, but briBkly, away. It was a bustling throng, and the bustles must have had their simplo symmetry somewhat marred. The visitor to tho fair who is a stranger to the Masonio Hall is surprised to find through how many stories and rooms the big salo ex tends. The elevator is in constant req.uisi. tlon, because the restaurant is on tho upper floor, as well as the smoking-room. The voting for the various pbjocts is progressing with a great deal of vigor. The mysterious goat, " so young and so strong," which is awaiting an owner, will doubtloss have Inspector Williams's name on ms col. lar. as that worthy has a big lead. The goat will not buck against this. Ho is not that kind of a buck-goat. ... , Last night a huge cako, frosted and adorned, was put into competition for the most popular newspaper.

It iR a Commander's sword, and will grace the thigh of the most popular of those worthy chieftains. The handlo is of whlto ivory, with the arms of the Grand Chapter of tho Stato of New York engraved on it in colors. Too strange almost for belief, something was sold laBt night at the fair for loss than its valuo! Orchestra seats at tho Bijou which had been presented to Hope Lodge wero dis posed of for 60 contB, which is only a third of what one would havo to give at the box offlco. The flower-stand will bo on tho platform after this, and thus more space is obtained for the floor. This part of the change iB a great advantage to the visitors, but possibly not so good for tho revenues of the tablo. Rebecca at the well dispensed the waters of immortal youth to gentlemen of every ago. Tho gentlemen apparently were moro desir ous of possessing a perennial juvenility than tho ladies. Possibly if some comoly Jacob woro found to dispense five-cent draughts of the same to a thirsty world tho Rentier sex would be on band in larger num. ers. Tho cruel maids with the books read a painful lesson in human nature to their vic tims. Bofore a sharo is taken, tho winning and appealing interest that is exhibited in the victim would cajole Mr. Crowley himsolf. Onco tho chance is taken, he is dropped with an unooncern that is very mortifying. Tho concert givon in tho Commandory Room last night was by a variety of musical talent, tho strong card being tho Vonetiau Troubadours. Galatea the illusivo held her seances to ft good attendance. A young man explained to tho spectators that they knew all about " Pygmalion and tho Galatea." and ono un classic yachtman became aroused and wanted to find out who built the Pygmalion. The Etruscan English of tho onnotator was moro cosily understood, however, than tho transi tion of Galatea from n strong young woman on a " bust " to a strawberry blonde, then to a bouquet of flowers, and back again to tho stone age. Tho Grand Mastor of tho Ithode Island Masons was present last evening, and what he didn't take chances in is not worth men tioning. " Do take n chance in this sot of glass tumblers," said a young woman, with such an intensely vivid red in nor hair that a white horse would have to bo bleaohed before no Would dare to show up in conjunction. " What are thoy for ?" asked tho young man. " Wine or whiskey." "But I don't drink." "Oh, you can uso them for seltzer." was the retort. And so he could, or for milk, or for soothing syrup, or for keeping stray buttons in. Hence he had to take a chance. The fair is progressing most satisfactorily, and tho self-sacrificing ladies look forward to the golden harvest whioh the widows and orphans will gather from their efforts as abundant compensation for their zeal.

Thoro are 600 of them now and thoy are quite skilful cooks. .. .. "Tlioir bread is dolicious," snid Mrs. Thcodoro B.

You don't know what a very appreciable value this has in regard to temperance. Tho children aro taught the raarkot value of tilings and thoy can pick out better and clamper material for a dinner than thoir mothers. "The children like it.

They Havo Nothing to Say About Mr. Faw. derly'e Hecent Utterance. Tho interview with General Mastor Work, man Powderly in this morning's Woiuj has been tho subjoot of much excitement and comment to-day among tho Knights of Labor in this city and vicinity. It is g'enorally admitted that Mr. Powderly is level-headed nnd wise in his administra tion, and his most erudite critics are loath to say a word against him, for they have been with him heretofore, and to place themselves on tho record now as antagonists would put them in n ridiculous position before the Knights and the public It is singular that men who aro prominent in tho order in this city were a year ago strong hud uncompromising supporters of Mr. Powderly, but now they aro his severest critics. They oppose him at every step, but thoy do not quostion his honesty. These same men ridi cule tbe idea that Mr. Powderly intends to resign. They say that he will remain in his present position until his successor is elected, which, they assort, will certainly bo dono at tho next General Assembly, Five prominent Knights, who wero asked by a world reporter for an expression of opinion upon tho matter printed from the General Master Workman, refused to speak for publication. One man said that if he spoke ho would mako a sensation, and others said that it was not proper for thorn to speak, but they wore in full accord with the present ad. ministration of tho order and declared that tho half million members still in the organi zation fully sustained tho administration. All tho Knights who wero seen were unan imous on one point that Toe World, in printing the two columns and a half inter, view, had given the Order much needed in formation, and, as usual, kept in the van in all such matters. Moat Not Troubled bv Rats Lnst Night. Anarchist John Most, who la always expecting the worst, waa duagreeably disappointed In his pessimism by getting a better cell In the Tombs last night one that la not lnfeateu by over-frlendlr rats.

Tbia being his second offense. It Is not probable that bla sentenoe will be lighter. To Confer About a Labor Candidate. Regarding tbe question as to whether the United Labor Party will nominate a Presidential candidate of Its own next year, It Is said that It will be deter mined by a conference to be called some time In January. Home of the leaders think that it would be poor policy to place a candidate In the Held for the Presidency, and aay that all their efforts ahould be con centrated on Congressmen and State Legialatora. A few bellevo in making a bold atand and no compromise. 1 r- On Their Way to Europe. Wallace Boas, the oaraman; C. F. Baker, Hiss M. Iloran, O. C.

Iitxciil to Trot wobld.1 Cut or Mexico (via Golveston, Tex.), Deo. 8. Considerable excltomont bias been occasioned hero by a report that Secretary Bayard had Bent tho Mexican Government a claim on bohalf of Cutting for n largo sum of monoy alleged as due for illegal imprison mont in Chihuahua and l'aso Del Norto. Information from Government circles, how ever, is to the ofloct that tho Unitod States hove not niado peremptory demands on Mox ico, but havo urged Mexico, for tho sake of future amicablo relations, to modify hor laws regarding extra territorial jurisdiction, and has suggested indemnity for Cutting, leaving Mexioo to name the amount. Thore is no bad feeling in Government circles, but likely to be much angry talk in tho press. Tho United States made the re quest three weoks ago, since which tho Presi dent and Ministers havo bean especially cordial to Amorican visitors. The matter, it is said, will go through the usual diplomatic channels, and satisfaction is expressed that Mr. Bayard has handled tho caxo so as to avoid placing Mexico in an embarrassing po sition. No decent American hero would support a olaim for Cutting, for all bellevo him to be simply a notoriety seeker, who deliberately attempted to make trouble between tho two countries. Gen. Jackson was Minister hero at tho timo, and never believed that Cutting's case had a leg to stand on, and regarded it as absurd. Tho reopening of the case would be sure to moke much feeling against American There has of lflto sprung up an exoellent feeling towardB Americans and the Unitod States, and tho Kansas City delegation now here has been superbly treated. AMANDA'S TOWS OF VENGEANCE. Charged with Having Poisoned Tbree Peo ple Strychnine In Drinking WsUer. UPICIiL TO TBJC WOKLD.1 Oaiitzbsvtxxi, Go., Deo. 8. Amanda Bow land was put in jail horo yoBterday for tho poisoning of three people. She went to the residence of F. H. Ferguson, noar Tnylors villo'sovoral days ago, nnd asked the privl lego of drawing water from his well. Ho re fused. She left vowing vongeanco, saying she would soon walk over Ferguson's grave. Two nights afterwards Mrs. Ferguson, hor eldest daughter and Mr. Warren Gaston, who was a visitor, became suddenly ill. A physician was called in, who declared that the victims had been poisoned with strych nine. The bucket of water in tho rear por tico looked peculiar, and the throe sick ones were the only ones who had drank of it. Upon investigation traoks corresponding to a woman's shoe were found, and at once Amanda was suspected of the work. She is twenty-one years of ago, married and the mother of three children. The poisoned pooplo are in great danger. NO TRUTH INTHE CHARGES. What Collector Blagone Says of tho Insinua tion! Against Weatbroek. Gustom-House circles wero considerably excited to-day over implied charges, mado at great length in tho columns of a morning paper, against Charles B. Westbrook, who sinco May has had, in connection with United States Dls tricUAttornoy Walker, the conduct of tho defense in various suits brought by import ers against the Government. Collector Magone, Special Deputy McClel land, in chargo of tho Law Department, and Deputy Collector Magono denounced tho accusations against Mr. Westbrook as being utterly baseless, and as instigated by a corrupt ring of importers, aided and abetted by various Bepublican office-holders in the Custom.House to throw discredit upon Mr. Westbrook and tho Democratic adminis tration of the Custom.House. George and BlcGlynn Not Estranged. Humors havo been circulated lately that Henry George and Dr. McQlynn were drifting apart, and that those Anti-Poverty leaders would henceforth be estranged. Such la not the fact. Dr. McOijnn will talk to-morrow night before the Antl-Porerty Bocleij In Ibe Aoademr of Music, while Mr. George will fill another engagement elsewhere. Last Sunday Dr. McQlynn lectured at Dunkirk while Mr. George addressed Us Anu Povertyltes In the Academy of Unalo. Dinner of tbe Police Captains.

It Is Humored That They Have Been Sent Hark la the Commissioners. Secretary Lee Phillips, of tho Clvll.Sorvice 'Examining Board, is very willing to talk about thoso interesting vouch ers, which tbreo political workers gavo tho Commissioners in recommen. dntion of character, honesty and ability. Tlicso vouchers, according to tho rules of the Municipal Civil-Scrvico Board, direct that four persons must vouch for tho character of an applicant. Tho threo workers obtained the positions of inspectors of masonry on the now Aqueduot, after passing the necessary civil-servlco ex amination. Then it was hinted that thoy ob. tainod thoso offices through political work and not on their individual morits, and a copy of their vouchors was demanded nnd re. fused. Finally tho pnprs wero turned over to Inspector Byrnes for inspection. In relation to tho transfer of these papers Secretary Phillips told a Would reporter this noon that it was done after consultation with Everett P, Wheeler, Chairman of thn Supervisory Board. After an examination of tho documents thero was sufficient evidence to lead to the belief that the vouchers wero not oil the department roqnlred, and thon thoy wore turnod over to Inspector Byrnes for a closer examination. There was no iutontion of preventing tho public from obtaining nil tho information regarding them save that any prematura statement might defeat the ends of jtiBtico. When tho authorities are satisfied that tho vouchers wero not legal, then steps will bo taken to bring tho ouendprs to justice, and the details of tho matter will bo given out. Secretary Phillips says that ho looks on tho affair more as a fraud on tho Board than an attempt of the Board to defeat the objects of tho Civil-Service law, and that while ho has reason to suspect that thero has boon illegiti. mate work somowhero. he will not commit himsolf fnrthor. Should the authorities And their fears true, the throe inspectors will be dismissed and criminal action taken, against them. Inspoctor Byrnes would neithor admit nor deny to-day that he had tbe papers. It is said that he copied them and turned them nvAr In tlin fHviLHnrvlrtA nnmmlBAinnnrfl- HUNGRY LEGISLATORS. The Speakership and Members Who Want to Get on "Good Committees." Two-thirds of tho 128 members elect of tho Assembly aro anxious to know who will bo Spoakcr. These aro the men who wish to be appointed on tho Committees on Cities, Ball road, Insurance, Excise and others known as "good committoes." Nearly all tho important work of tho Legislature for years past haB boon mapped out and decided by committees. Jobs and steals are killed or inaugurated in commit tee. If thero is any money in Albany legis lation tho committoes hove the first chanco at tho boodlo. It frequently happens, so it is rumored, that thoro is a boodlo to bo secured by being a member of several of tho committees when those who aro not bo fortunate have to use their salaries to pay thoir hotol bills. If Gen. Hustcd is ro-olected Speaker ho will be bothorod to death by members who desire to go on the Committees on Cities, Railroads and Insurance. - He, howover, knows how to arrange committees to suit him. self. If Fremont Cole is elected Speaker he will havo to hide himself from the hungry crowd of legislators who take a commercial view of politics, and who wish to be mem bers of a " good committee." RUINED BY DRINK. Dr. Orlando L. Walts Found Dead In a Hallway After a Debaueb. Dr. Orlando L. Walto, fifty years old, once a respectable and prosperous dentist, died in the hallway of the tenemont-house 37 Seventh avenue this morning. Ho had wan. dered thore while suffering from tho effects of a prolonged debauch. Ho was a son of Dr. Thomas G. Waite, of 15 West Twenty-third street, and a few years ago practiced dentistry with his father and gave nromlso of a successful future. Ho fell into bad company, became a drunkard, and sunk so low that tils father refused to have anything to do with him. For two years Orlando had been a drunk, ard, without home or friends, and led tho life of a tramp. The venerable father of the dead man was summoned and he fully identified tho body as that of his wayward son and made ar rangements to give him a decent burial from his old home. He said with much feeling that he hod tried oi every way to redeem his son, but tho latter was bent on going the downward path. GONE TO JOIN MR. BLAINE. Gall Hamilton Halle for France on La Oss. cogne This Morning. Tho most distinguished personago aboard the French steamer La Gasoogne, which sailed for Havre this morning, was Miss Mary Abigail Dodge, mora widely known as Gail Hamilton, a cousin of Mr. James G.

It has beon rumored for some time past that Miss Dodge was to spend the winter abroad with the Blainos, but it was not defi nitely known until hor name appeared this morning on the passenger list of the French steamer. It is said that Miss Dodge joins Mr. Blaine at his special request. The arrangements for her departure and the purchasing of her ticket were all mado by Stoption B.

DRISCOLL IN A SURLY MOOD. - HE REFUSED HIS BREAKFAST AND DEMANDS HIS "GIRL'S" LETTERS. ne Afterward Changes His Blind About Ibe nrenkfnsl and Takes It Gladly Warden Wnlah Cannot Find rtrlaeoll's Maw-The Dentb Watch to be Het on Dee. 11 (Searching tbe Murderers' Cells. Tho discovery and frustration of his plnn of escape and a night in condemnod cell No. 0 put Murderer Dan LLWf. Driscoll in a bad hu- J-A ruor this morning. JRRF ? When a plontlful Bv Ax breakfast of tender- J i&- loin steak, friod po- ' v x- ' tntocB, eggs and collco ySJs, vns carried to him at VT ing, ho callod out to V' N Deputy Wardon Fin dan DnisooLL. loy i " Don't bring that in here or I'll break tho crocks to pieces. Tell Mr. Walsh that I won't eat any break fast until ho gives mo back my girl's letters." Driscoll referred to a uackaco of letters which woro found in Ills cell during tho soaroh instituted while he was at court yes terday. It mado him vcry angry when ho realized that he had been deprived of thorn, and his constant grumblo lost night was t " Ho might have been content with half starving me and taking away my exeroiso without collaring my girl's letters. " When tho wardon ncord that there was great danger that Drieooll would not oat his breakfast ne laughed and said that he didn't care. In half an hour the Whyo chief thought bettor of his terrible threat and took his food gladly, despito tho fact that his letters were still withheld. Warden Walsh is determined to rendor it impossible for Drisooll or any of the other oondemnod men to got as near escaping as Lyons and Drisooll were yestorday. Dan Lyons, who is to hang for shooting young Quinn, has beon taken from the second tier to oell IS in Murderers' Bow. Lorenz Reich, tno who muruorer, nas also naa ms quartors ohanged. Each of tho condemned cells were searched this morning by the Warden in person, accompaniod by two keepers. This pro gramme will bo followed twice daily in tho caso of every man under sentence of death. Tbe puzzling thing about tholittempt of Lyons and Drisooll Is that all attempts lo find the saw with whioh tbe thick iron bars were severed have proved futile. A thorough search has beon mado not only of tho cells formerly occupied by the condemned mon, but of the surrounding passageways. The Erisoners, who were at exercise yesterday, ave also been searched, and the conclusion is irresistible that the Implement has boon conveyed outside tho prison. Wardon Walsh's theory is that a friend of Lyons, who has visitod him dally, passed him the saw through the grated door of his oell, . and that after Lyons got his bar sawed through ho passed it to Driscoll. He thinks that Driscoll got wind of the discovery yesterday in time to get rid of the saw in a similar way before he was searched. Tho Warden says that ho knows tho name of tho man who brought the saw into tho prison, but will not make it publio booausa in the absence of the Implement he cannot prove anything against him. Driscoll's desperate attempt will have tho effect of bringing the death watoh to the prison earlier than usual. Hitherto the Sheriff has put his men in the condemnod cell ten days before the execution. As Driscoll's execution is fixed for Jan. 20 the death watch is not dne for five weeks Sot, but the Sheriff is said to intend setting lo death watch on Dec. 16. Whon Warden Walsh was asked about this ho said : " I wish Sheriff Grant would send the death watoh right away and take tho responsibility off my hands. Driscoll is a desperate man and ho seems to havo friends who know how to help him. ' ' You must remember," Bald tho Warden, " that this is not the first attempt at escape from tho prison mado by Drisooll. Eight months ago he and the murderer Smith con ooctod a pretty clever plan to get free. Smith tried to dig through tho floor, but Driscoll managed to get a key made whioh fitted his oell door. He also had a false beard and mustache smugglod into his cell. " Bee." continued Mr. Walsh, opening a drawer in his desk t " here are the articles. It was arranged that in the dead of night tho friend who had the key should open Dris. ooll's door and he should come out dis guised in this falso beard.
