give publicity for the first time to a
system wrong 1" principle nml oppres
sive In practice. When tho building
on C street was llrst icnto'dnnd the plan
of sending nil tho loin and dilapidated
mnll sticks of the postal service hero to
be mended was put In operation, there
vf as a great flourish of oilleial trumpets
over tho "reform" and the "saving" It
would bo to thu Government. Tho
credit of this new arrangement was
claimed, justly we bellcvo, for the new
Second Assistant Postmaster-General.
A superintendent of the shop was
bronght-on from Ohio. Tho work was
begun.
The result up to date seems to bo to
involve tho Government in a system
which looks like an ugly combination
of the "sweatitig system" of England
and tho "pluck-mo" methods of the
Pennsylvania regions. As tho shop
has been conducted it was rapidly be
coming a public scandal. It is hoped
that Tin: Cmtio's exposure will remedy
the matter. It is not believed thnt Postmaster-General
AVanamakcr, or his Sec
ond Assistant, Mr. "Whitfield, or oven
Captain Cullcn, the superintendent, is
really cognizant of tho full hardships to
wl ii-.h the employes of this shop arc
subjected. Tun Ciirnr has no desire
lo hold llipin responsible for the
wii-tehed work-room provided, which
lendeis all who lull therein miserable,
ccrforlhe ciuel regulation which ro
quiips forty sack to be repaired each
day by each worker. Nor yet perhaps
are they responsible for the fact that
the wages paid are so scanty. Yet, if
these things be not promptly remedied,
wo shall bo compelled to so hold thorn.

school class, Let him not forgot the

Why would it bo wrong to go to tho

Why would it bo wrong to go into the

Why is it wrong to enter tho National

Why would it ho wrong to visit on

CHICAGO'S ADVAXTAGES.
Mr. Davis and his worthy co-talkers
should not suffer geographical and ter
minal considerations to overshadow the
other advantages the Garden City pos
sesses for tho World's Fair site. Iu the
mutter of substratum, Chicago has a
foundation of quicksand and mud con
ducive to the development of tlio high
est forms of architecture ever attained
on stilts. Many of tho buildings are
the most magnificent structures that
ever rested on piles which rest on noth
ing; many of them tho most daring ex
periments man has yet attempted in tho
way of making a building scltlo down
soberly and squarely all its life.
Tho process of sinking is perpetual
there. Tho city is built on a bog, Eig
structures of any considerable age, like
tho County and Federal buildings and
the Chamber of Commerce, are rent as
if by earthquake. Walls of porcelain
sheeted bricks ami mammoth blocks of
marble In tlte latter are deeply Assured
by the unequal sinking. Whoro it Is
designed to erect tho great works a
World's Fair would require efforts to
drive deep wells havo been stopped by
quicksand. Toward tho north, in front
of tho Lcland Hotel, water was tapped,
but thcro Is every reason to holievo It is
thu water of a sub-Chicago ocean, for
every now and then the pipe vomits up
kinds of creation known neither to this
jior any other ago.
Tho entire lake front, as a matter of
fact. Is unpacked debris of tho fire,
jesting upon marsh land. Such a
building, for example, na the l'rls
Machinery Hull, which, if anything,
should bu ecllpu'd, might just as Well
be put up on one of the floating sand
bnts of tho Missouri. As for n tower
which shall humble tho dating of
Klll'el well, tho Chicago people would
doubtless build it on barges and Ileal It
up and down the lake shore.

A word about tho bill which is to put
a stop to all Sunday labor, "except
works of necessity mid mercy." What
nro works of "necessity and mercy?"
Who is to be the judire? llow is it to
bo ascertained whether a particular
plcco of work is exempted from the
penally of the law? No tribunal Is
provided for to determine beforehand
whether thu work ono feels called upon
to perform comes under the law or
forms an exception. The words used
seem to make an omnibus phrase, which
shall Include everything or nothing,
just ns the courts may decide.
Would the railroads have to ccaso
running trains and tho tramways cease
running cars on Sunday? Would tho
hotels havo to quit sending 'busses to
meet the trains? Frequently thcro is
no necessity for it. Could tho owner
of a private turnout use It on Sunday?
If so, could a pccunlous person who
didn't own a private turnout go to a
livery stable and hire a turnout? Could
a person wall; abroad on Sunday with,

a mailer of uceessby or mercy?

One sentence of tho littlo speech Sir.
Gladstone made lo Dr. Talmago at
Ilnwardcn is intended to glvo some
thinkers pause. "My only hope for
tho world," said he, "is in bringing
the human mind into contact with Di
vine revelation:" Whether tho distin
guished statesman and philosopher
bases his expectation of human prog
ress on revelation by belief, as con
trasted with revelation through knowl
edge, does not appear. Doubtless he
docs. Many profound men who are
trying to guidu human destiny in the
present ago do. The Lichtcnstein
group in Austria, .lules Simon and the
clericals in France, lllsmnrck in Ger
many and Mr. Gladstone in England,
all see tho preservation and promotion
of tlte Stntc iu the stability of tho
Church. So, loo, does tho Czar of
Russia.
Such is the tremendous span of re
search and mental hardship between tho
point where the soul is swayed by tho
ceremony of Divine revelation and the
point where the intellect bows down In
sceiet confession to it, that no consid
erable mass of any people has ever ac
complished the perilous journey.
The dawn of science in every nation
hrts marked tlio rising of its rovolu
tinnaty sun. Every disclosure of sub
lime knowledge has shaken the founda
tion of society and the statu, which are
invariably supporied with religious
form. It was tho wisdom of Greece
and Rome, wantonly voicing itself, that
upset standard faiths. Dcscarte opened
tho way for thcReign of Terror. Kant,
Leibnitz and Hegel are tho parents of
socialistic Goimany. Darwin, Huxley
and Spencer are tlio inspiration of the
English Demos, and tho microbe hunt
ers of Paris nro the apostles of ma
terialism. Far-seeiiiL' and sentimental men of
slate realize how violent is the egotism
of scientific tnith, and, if they could,
would make its discoverers be silent or
teach it in the closet. For this reason
it was that Mnehiavelli ever inclined
backwmd toward primitive conditions.
11 ather than teach the operation of the
Supreme Intelligence in tlio vital cir
culation of a plant, like Whoivoll,
they would Impress Divine Truth
with the idealistic exaggerations
of Raphael and Angclo for nil to
worship without question. Un
happily for this acute conservatism in
stalescraft, Divine revelation is no moro
tusccptiuluto tho control of man than
I) Ivino conditions arc. Man cannot at
will bring it into contact with the mind
of man. And it casts Into contempt all
who aim to mediate between it and
human variety by confenng its bless
ing arbitrarily. He whoso soul seeks
God in tho technical harmony of the
planets or the anatomy of a molecule
has a totally different sense of Divine
revelation fiom thu mortal who finds it
in tho murmuring. of a prayer or tho
adoration of a symbol; yet theso two
have each a disdain for tlio Inspiration
of tlio other.

Tho eighth wonder of tho world lias been
found. Living about twenty miles from
Columbia, S. C., is an aged lady who for
tho Inst forty years, according to a Phila
delphia Timet correspondent, lias had a
snake hi her left upper arm. When first
noticed, forty years ago, it was very smill,
but It 1ms now grown to he about ono foot
in length.
It lies hi U-shapc, with the tall and head
pointing to the elbow. It is just boucath
thb skin and can be plainly seen. Tlio head
and eves can bo clearly distinguished and
the pulsations of Its heart felt. Tho scales
of tlio snake can also he felt, and when
much disturbed a slight movement cau be
seen about the head and tall.
The possessor of the strange pet has al
ways been unwilling to havo tho serpent
cut out, but has consented to allow it, to be
done after death. How tho snako ever
found its homo in such a place Is not
known, but it is known that the lady was
bitten by a snako about forty years ago.
It should bo added that tho eighth wonder
icferred to is not tho old woman, nor Is it
the snake; it is the correspondent.

McD triLott. For weary ' months and
monil.s tho English Liberals havo been
tinchlDg the protean dynamiter all over
EUropc while he has been innocently dis
poning himself In Loudon under tho
clcoronngo of Tom Fielders ot the Now
York Ha aid. They had hoped to get a
"squeal" Lorn McDcrmott before tho Tar
nell Commission, and wero particularly
industrious in their, search for him Just
previous to tho tragic end ot Tlgott. Ono
of their agents', n priestly-lnoklng Irish
detective, who assumed tho namool Wilson,
ransacked Tails nt tho trifling expenso of
10 a day, accomplishing nothing more
w ondcif ul than tbu Inspection of the con
cert halls and cafes, nnd tho confusion of a
young countryman who was imposlus on
tho Latin Quarter as a suspended clerical.
How many Wilsons there were doing tho
gaieties of the continent nt $!i0 a day the
Lord and the Liberals only know. Where
tho money camo from for this folly will,
perhaps, bo appreciated by the Irish Amer
icans who could havo put their contribu
tions to better use.
McDermott tricked all his pursuers by
staying most of tho timo where they least
expected to find him. Hla surrender to
Fielders is an illustration of what good
manners and genial disposition do for the
journalist where the scent of tho sleuth
hound often fails. Fielders was sharing a
bottle of wine with some .friends in the
Grand Hotel one night when another party
of friends camo in with a stranger, whom
they introduced as a. French nobleman.
Whatever his suspicions, ho (Fielders) did
not, like his comrades, sutler them to
betray him into silent expressions ot con
tempt for a Trinco who spoke with a dis
tinct fusion of tho Irish, Bowery and Chi
cago Bridgeport tongues. On the contrary
he listened with the gravest and most
amazed attention to th wondrous talcs
the nobleman told and was rewarded
later in tho night, when tho fumes of the
grape had done their work, by tho blue
blooded stranger falling into his arms.
"See here," said thomystcrj-, on thequiet,
"I llko jou. You're a trump. I ain't no
Frenehmauf I'm 'Bed Jim' MoDennott."
Fielders Immediately cabled a two-column
Intel view with the supposedly dead suspect,
and has had him within call ever sluce.
MeDennott's story was largely fiction, how
over, as there ts no such titled woman ti
Franco in ho pretends to have tnarriel.
Though McDermott asserts that ho Is un
protected and unpumped, it is evident to
all who aro familiar with tho situation that
hu is lu the bauds of thu Government's

AMUSEMENT3.
"Tin: Ooun". Tho merry "Oolnh" (Hied
every seat Iu tho National last night, and
bonked a trlplo row of slanders behind tho
orchestra circle. Tho opera has seldom
been preseufed In better form, and Francis
Wilson, always a favorite, was at his best
lu tho chnrncter of Itootithgoolah, tho
"Oolnh." Wilson Is In all respects a por
fect clown, and tho part seems admirably
fitted to his gymnastic and laughable ccccu
liitltlcs. His topical song, "Tlio Tiling
Which Nobody Knows," caught on vigor
ously, and was repeatedly encored. Mario
Janecu, In a somewhat humblo part, Illus
trated tho perplexities of the Persian mar
riage laws In her own pleasing way, while
Nettle Lyford and Laura Mooro sang to
plenty of applause. The company ts tho
same as that which produced tho opera for
tho first time nt tho Broadway Thojtro In
N6w York, slid neither tho words nor tho
music havo been materially changed.
"Listen to My Talo of Woo" still forms
the Wllsen-Jatisen duet, and it has ap
parently lost uono of Its charms to plciso
a Yasblngtol nndlcuco. Tile "Oolah" will
sty with us all this week; and It' deserve
the patronage ot tho Capital theatre-goers.
In tho lino of comic opera it Is decidedly a
success.
"La TOsca." Fanny Davenport ap
peared In tho title rolo of Sardou's power
ful tragedy, "Lit Tosca," roprodUcod in
this city at Albaugh's Opcra-House last
evening. She was grcetedhy a largo audi
eiice, brilliant ond appreciative, who re
warded her efforts by repeated encores and
twice summoning' her before the curtain.
Miss Davenport us la Turcu, Melbourne
McDowell, ns Scurjua, Thcodoro Kohorts as
.liirio Caivruilosti and Frank Willard as
Tiisflxr oro the only members of tho com
pany who havo been seen hero before, tho
minor parts having been changed since the
Inst appearance of "La Tosca" in VVushing
ton. The performance throughout was a
most credltablo one, Miss Davenport's
work being marked by her usual earo und
conscientious endeavor. In tho torture
scene, with all its realism, when La Tosai
writhes in mental agony at each entreating
groan from her suffering lover, and again
when she sacrifices tho life of Srorpia
rather than yield to his demands, tho in
teiisoenrncsttiess of tho gifted woman held
tho audience enthralled. MoDowcll por
trayed tho haughty llaron In his own Im
pressive stylo, with no lack of mnnuertsais.
It secmsas If Sardou had created the part
for him. Ccsare Angcltolli, Oscar Eagle,
tho refugee, showed a marked improve
ment over his previous work iu this part.
MUs Alfa Terry Dyers seemed a trifle ma
ture as Gcrmarino, Mario's littlo body ser
vant The rest of tho company appeared
to good advantngo In their several parts.
Tho costumes and scenery aro mainly ef
fective, although it Is a matter of opinion
as' to whether Miss Davenport's brilliant
scarlet apparel lu tho first act Is entirely
becoming. Tho court scene .seems somo
what hurried and tho intervals between the
acts intolerably long, but to sea "La
Tosca" Is, on tho wholo, to see about as
powerful, If not as sensational, a drama as
tlicic is on the American stago to-day.
"Tnc Fakiu." Hamlin's Faico Comedy
Company taxed tho scaling capacity of Har
ris' little theatre last ovening, and pre
sented their "Fakir" to unbounded ap
plause. It Is a farco far superior to the
general run, with situations that arc really
funny nnd a bright, crisp dialogue. Tno
plot of tho affolr is turned aside occasionally
to allow the lending lady to slug about tho
misfortunes of Mcdinty or to propound a
musical request for some one to listen to
her talc of woo, but no ono in the nudlenco
objected to this arrangement, and tho
entertainment went on swimmingly. "Tho
Fakir" is written about a' series of diffi
culties In which tho Whirligig Opera Com
pany find themselves involved, and this
central idea gives lots of room for those
somewhat antiquated songs and dunces
which go to make up farce comedy. Ed
ward Morris, Charles V. Seaman, Leslie
Edmunds and Mario Cahlll sustain their
parts iu their own merry way, nnd tho rest
of the company come in for a good share of
applause. "Tho Fakir" will stay at Har
ris' all the week, with the usual matinees.
Thu Bxstz-Stani.kv DuuMisqiu:. The
return engagement of this troupo drew a
good audience into Fortran's last night,
and standing-room was at a premium long
before 8 o'clock. The company is nn ex
cellent one and tho burlesquo of "Antony
aild Cleopatra" hoautlfully 6taged. Tho
music is mainly good, and tha dancing,
particularly tho Indian nautch danco, much
hotter than tho tioupo presented here be
fore. Beatlo and Minnie Howe were
warmly iccclvcdand repeatedly eucorod.

There are only 83,000 greenback' bills i
now outstanding, although the Treasury ,
Department has endeavored to call In i
all bills of large denominations. There !
is but one 10,000 greenback bill in ex

Rottcrman of Cincinnati says that for
years his ollico has carried a $.",000
greenback as a relic, and that every
treasurer kept tlio bill and will not send
it back to the Treasury for redemption..
Henry Cabot Lodge, the literary
statesman, is surprised at tlte appoint

over his glasses twice when lie saw tlio
announcement, becauso ho supposed
that Corea was entitled to both a Min

Mr. Fowler of Winchester, Mass., was

Hoar. Fowler is a son-in-law of Marcus
C. Cook, a very rich merchant of Hos

dorsements from Now York importers,
whose influence with tho Administra

family has for years been interested in
Chinese importations, and the Minister
just appointed lived for several years in

It. is not an uncommon thing lo see a
dycd-iu-the-AVool Democrat hovering
around the Capitol, but when you sec
one shadowing Republican Congress
man it looks suspicious. This" was
what Hon. Adair Wilson was doing in
the i otunda at Willard 's, but ho declared
most emphatically that his visit hero
had no political significance. Mr.
Wilson hails from thnt section of the
Centennial State where sago brush
thrives','' irrigation ditches uru numerous
and wbcro ex-Senator Tom Ilowcn de
rives enough income from Ids silver
mine to make tho manipulators of tho
red nnu uiuo cntps leel weary when tlicy
como in contact with him. Ho has
been a conspicuous llguro in Colorado
politics for years, and It would bo con
sidered very tame to havo a StatuDcino
cratlc convention without Adair Wilson
picjent. "Tho gentleman from Del

the Mexican colony in tlio San Louis

Legislature ns well us on the bench.
Among the prominent uuests nt tho

World's Fair, hut In response to u ques
tion from Tin: Ciutic representative as
to whether that was tho object of his
visit hero, ho said most decidedly no.
His sympathies are naturally with Now
