THE PBETEHBE OF POVEETY.
Col. Fellows takes his cue from tho flop,
ping organs, nnd complains that ho is op
posed because ho is " n poor man,"
What noiiHonsel Tho opponents of Col,
Fellows are supporting men foroffloowho
aro as poor as ho is. Thoy rcspoct honornbln
poverty and tho independence that goes
with it.
But whon a man is " poor " because ho in
sists on spending $10,000 a year when ho earns
but $7,600 s whon ho is kopt " poor " by tho
claims of diamond dealers, wino merchants
and purveyors of purplo and fine- linen ;
when poker chips cat into his incomo ; when
ho is generous boforo he is just is this the
sort of poverty that entitles ft man to respect
and confidence ?
A conventional " good follow" is by tho
very tpiality of his " goodness" incapacitated
for tho storn duties of a publlo prosooutor.
There should be ImZrpcndVnce in tho District.
Attorney's oQ.cc, with all that this implies.
THE INTEREST OF LABOR.
It is for the interest of Labor voters to
havo in the District-Attorney's office n man
who will say to publio plunderers, " No
quarter 1" instead of " Go and sin no more."
It is for the interest of Labor voters to
havo as public prosecutor n man whoso nilo
of conduct has been and will bo: "No dis
tinction of persons in courts of justice but
the same law for rich and poor."
It is for the interest of Labor voters to
break down bossism, to stop corruption, to
encourage faithful publio servants in doing
their duty, and to keep the local government
honest.
Therefore Labor votors should support
Nicoll, and therefore thousands of them
will do it.
THE MATTER WITH J. B.
A Tory Grand Jury at Wolverhampton,
Englunjl, wants Andrew Carneoie's book
"Triumphant Democracy," withdrawn from
tho free library of that place because it is " a
seditious and treasonable libol against the
Queen."
it is not so much Mr. Carneoie's clever
volume as the actual " triumphant democ
racy " on this sido of tho Atlantic that dis
turbs the British Bourbons. Tho unjust aud
nristocratio English system is slowly but
surely disintegrating in tho light of our shin,
iug eiampla of self-government.
Aud that's what's tho matter with Johnny
Bull.
THE REAL TRAIT0R8.
Tho boodlo sympathisers accuse- Nicoll of
treason to tho Democracy in accepting tho
nominations tendored him.
Tho fact is that Nicoll was nnd is tho em.
phatic choice of the Democratic masses of
this city. The Itingsters had the label, but
they cannot control tho substance Opposi.
tion to Bossism is faithfulness to genuine De.
mocracy.
Nicoll abates not one iota of his Democ
racy. That is tho distinct understanding,
lie simply responds to an almost unanimous
demand of tho people. Ho who is faithful to
the people is faithful to his party.
Tho real traitors to tho Democracy aro the
boodllug Bossos and tho bussiug Boodlors.
They sacriflco tho party's best interests to
tho spirit of rovenge. They aro fulso to the
publio welfare, and therefore falsa to tho Do.
mocraoy.
These traitors will bo robuked.
The part taken by Col. Fellows in tho war
has no especial relation to his unfitness for
the District-Attornoyship. But when a
Boodlers' organ celebrates his "long light
for tho Union," it is well to remark that this
"light" lasted only until Arkansas seceded,
when Mr. Fellows, a Northern man, joined
in tho rebolliou and fought against tho Union
until taken prisouer. Tho less said about
this record the better.
The Evejuno Worlu's menu for " a dol.
lar dinner for four " is t try popular. If it
could bo accompanied with an equally good
recipe for getting tho dollar toino people
would doubtless appreciate it more. In the
absence of a newer formula try tho world,
oldouo: Hard work.
O'BniEN in prison will epeuk moro forcibly
for the cause of Ireland than could O'Bmen
at liberty. Homo llulo seems to need many
martyrs, but they are always at hand and
eager for martyrdom in that good cause.
Tho Navy Department is unable to furnish
the Quarantine authorities with tho vessel
desired. But thoro is no reason why tho com
mission should not adopt and euforco soino
ironclad cholera regulations.
Of 158 horse-car drivers and conductors in
tervicwed at random, 00 wero for Nicoll, 61
for Fost, and only 11 for Fellows. Tho
horse-car men naturally know a good Nicoll
when they see it.
Tho dally i'lopper' twaddle against Nicoll
is to its former vigorous support of him as
toy torpedoes ore to dynamite bombs.
The stupidest of all arguments is that tho
triumph of corrupt Bosses could strengthen
the Democracy.
Tho Game of Bluff with the Boodlo Bhufllo
and Desperate Deal will leave the gamblers
" busted."

Ananias. Oh, try something elso. Try once

Louis F. Fost, the candldato for District
Attorney, is belioved by labor men to
liavo a linn chance to slip into Mr. Martina's
shoes on Nov. fl, and one of the most san
gttino is Mr. FoBt. Ho argued thus to the re
porter :
" I will get tho entiro Labor Party voto to
begin with, and I believe it will bo as large,
if not larger, than last year. Then I think
I wiU roceivo from disaffected Republicans
and Democrats a percentage largo enough to
give mo n good majority. Mind you, this is

MRS. HICKS-LORD'S TEKRIER LOST.
Jack Nuddenly Yanlahe In Ik C'ourar of a
rStroll In Wneblnnton Square.
Since Sunday night last there has been
mourning at 33 Washington square, tho rosi.
donco of Mrs. Hicks-Lord. Jack, tho pet
and idol of tho household, has disappeared.
Jack is a terrier, and such n terriort Of
tho bull species and pure whito, except for
two luBtrous yellow spots just aboo his left
eyo; his pedigree is nut known, but he
is believed to bo of aristocratia
birth, for after his dnily morning bath his
ears, which ho still possesses, aro "10 trans,
narent that you can see through thorn," as
Mr. Littleton Bow ell, Jaek's quondam keeper,
said to an Eveninci Would reporter to-day.
In addition to the cognomen Jack ho re.
ceived the name of Hicks-Lord when ho was
presented to Mrs. Hicks-Lord on
May last by the owner of Jack's
father. Sinco May handsome Jack has
been dally growing in tho affections
of the household endearing himself by
overy grace that a terrier is heir to. Ho wus
I etted, pampered, fondled fed, bathed uiyl
jrushed, and now he has disappeared.
Early Hunday evening Jack went for a
short walk in the Square. Ho wasaccom
pauied by Sew ell aud seemed to bo
in even better spirits than usual. As
tho time drew near for their return home,
Jack's ioyfuliKss overcame his good man.
ners and instead of proceeding sedately along
" at heel," ho bounded ahead and with glee,
ful yelps capered off, now in this direction,
now in that.
Tho tide is told, for Jack did not return,
nor could Sow ell tell where ho was. The
police have not boon able to find him, and
Mrs. Hicks. Lord has oflered a reward.
Besides his personal qualities. Jack was
highly esteemed as a watch dog. Safeguards
against burglars havo been in demand in the
house ever smco Mrs. Hicks Lord's valuable
Biherwaro was stolen about a year ago.

YJT 1 1 mi Evening World re.
, 1.L) porlir overheard last
" eiw (l wiling at the Hoff
man IIouso Political Clearing Houso:
"Nicoll will bo elected."
" Fellows will bo elected."
" Fost will bo cleeted."
" Is there n Stuto ticket in tho flcldr"
" Don't know; never lieor one mentioned."
"Tho Labor party will poll 70.000 votes."
" Post for District-Attorney will poll moro
votes than Georgo for Sccrotary of State."
" Tho fight is between Nicoll and Fost."
" You cun't buy tho labor vote."
" The Tummanv peoplo foci sick."
" It will bo a rout along tho ontiro lino."
" It is a good year to lookout for yourself."
"If Col. Fellows withdrow from n boodlo
trial why don't ho withdraw from a boodlo
ticket?"
"Every Republican who voted for Roose
velt or Hewitt will vote for Nicoll."
" Tbero were 132.000 votes cast in this city
for Fcckliam and 78.000 for Daniels."
" If Nicoll gets 20 per cent, of tho Peck
ham voto, it would givo him 26,500 Deling
cratio voto and would leave 105,600 votes to
bo divided botween Follows nnd Fost."
"That's so, nnd if Nicoll rorcives 70.000
Republican votes, whore does Fellows
laud?"
" Tho Labor peoplo, who voted solid for
Pcckhnui, uro solid for Fost, their candidate
for District-Attornoy."
" That's so, Tammany Hall, County no
mocracy, Irving Hall aud tho Labor party
united gave Pcckhani 132,000 votes."
" How con Tammany Hall and tho Conn
ties givo Fellows moro than 80,000 votes ?
Thoy cun't do it."
" Lot me eeo. Howitt was the united nom
iueo last year. He got 00.000 votes. At least
15,000 Republicans supported him. Thcro
aro 16,000 Democrats who voted for him who
will vote for Nicoll. That takes away 30,000
from Hewitt's 90,000."
" I'll bet a hat that 40,000 peoplo who voted
for Howitt will voto for Nicoll.1'
" Tho Labor peoplo tell mo that they aro
better organized than they wero last year and
will poll a bigger vote."
" Why, if they poll 10,000 votes there is no
show for Fellows."
" The bosses who aro thinking Fellows will
bo elected won't bet a cent."
"Do you remember poor Mlko Cregnu?
Tho Republican bosses won't sell out. What
cuu they deliver anyhow ? The mon who
will vote for Nicoll will como to the polls
with their bnllots."
" I think tho best thing Fellows can do is
to withdraw."
"Boss Fowor should also resign."
" Go in tho cafe. Thoro is a good chanco
for you, I just refused four drinks."
"In a fight agnlrlsttho peoplo tho machines
aro only machines and will poll only tho
machine voto."
" This is not a fight against tho Domocratio
pnrty. It is a fight of tho Dcmocratio party
nguiust tho machines of Tammany Hall and
tho County Democracy."
"Boforo Power became n Folloe Justiro
and a Boss, ho used to be seen on First
avenue. He has not been sccu cast of Second
avenue in sevou years."
"Tho voto of tho Sixteenth District last
ear was: Hewitt, 8,380 ; George, 3,218 and
ltoosov elt, 1,255. Howitt got 400 Republican
votes in tho district."
" Nicoll ought to get 2,000 votes in the Six.
tecnth District. He will carry every election
district botween Socond and Third avenue
but one, and tho Labor party will carry all
but five districts east of Second avenue."
" Did you ever know Boss Powor or Boss
Crokor to say anything olso before election
but tlmt their organizations, combined of
separate, would win?"
" I am a Tammany Hall man. Of course I
think Fellows will win. No, I won't hot; I
am not a betting man."
"Ahl"
"This is my last election. I am going to
get out of politics."
" That is what Boss Power says. Tho peo

NO FEAR OF A COAL FAMINE.
a
IHG DEALERS SAY THAT Till' PRESENT
SCARCITY WILL NOT LAST.
Tide Vcnr'n Product More Than Two.tlllllon
Ton Ahrnd of I.net Yrnr IVwneso of
Freight Cnr nnd the Intrr-tlate Coin,
mrrre I.nvr (liven an Cnimea for the
Trouble The Poor Flrat to I'ccl n liaise,
"There is no danger, according to tho larger
wholesale dealers, of any prolonged scarcity
of coal in Now York this winter.
That thoro is great scarcity just at
present, however, is generully admitted,
nnd there nro not a few who say that tho
stringency will bo moro sovero before thcro
is any easing up of the pressure.
According to 0 prominent official of tho
Delaware and Hudson Canal Company.which
is also ono of tho largest producing companies
in Pennsylvania, thero can bo no danger of a
famine, liecauso tho actual production
of the nuthrncito coal field up to
Oct, 1 of tho present year is 25,522,000
tons, as compared with 23,10'l,000
tons in tho corresponding period last year,
showing un increaso of 2,413,000 tons for the
present year, and the discrepancy during the
post month has been decreased rather than
diminished.
This, ho says, shows an enlarged demand
for coal, and that there is a lurgcr demand
cannot bo denied, but it is not sufficient to
couso any real shortage,
Tho productivo capacity of tho mines is
about 150,000 tons a day, whilo the actual
output at tho present time is only 120,000
tons a day. This is becauso there
is a scarcity of cars for transportation. And
this is tho principal cause of what stringency
there may bo in tho market at the present
time.
If tho increased fricght charges caused by
tho pussago of the Interstate Commerco law
wero taken into account, ho thought
that tho figures for actual bales
sales at tide-water by producers would not
show much of an increaso over last year's
prices. If there was a material advanco it
was due to tho speculative operations of
smaller dealers.
Albert Darling, manager of tho wholesalo
firm of Whitney it Kemraorer, said thnt thoro
was a scarcity of coal now and there would
probably bo a btill further advanco in prices
during tho next two or throe weeks. The
wholesale prices at tide-water for domestic
grades of coal ranged from $4.10 to $4.85 a
ton as compared with $3.60 to $3.00 at tho
same time last year.
The causo of this was tho greatly increased
demand for coal in tho West, which had
made it necessary for the transportation com
panies to use all their cars.
It would take them about threo weeks or a
month to get them back again, when they
could ho used for tho tido-woter trado. It
was not the companies who wero forcing up
prices, but the consumers in tho East, who
wero offering them to get tho coal.
There had been a general Ineglect on tho
part of largo consumers to get their
coal in tho summer and all tho orders
coming in together forced up prices.
Tho railroads wero now charging
20 cents moro a ton than they did last
yenr. It waB not probable that prices would
go down as low as last winter on this ac
count. As high as $5 or $6 a ton was offered now
for coal alongside, but only in special cases.
Among people who buy coal by the pailful
any rise in prices is very soon to 00 felt. The
small dealers pay $5.25 a ton for coal aud sell
it out at 11 conis a pailful, which gives
them a profit of about $ 1.60 a ton. Poor peo-
iilo aro apt to mako troublo for the smail
lealers when the price of coal is increased
ono cent a pail.
Dealers who wero seen this morning by an
Evening World reporter said that the retail
price would havo to be advanced, as they
could not afford to do business at a loss.
The present outlook-in Brooklyn is a far
from pleasant ono. During the past ten or
fifteen days tho large dealers have advanced
prices from $5.25 per ton for freo burning coal
to $5.50. For Lehigh coal they are charging
$5.75. They all agree that owing to the lim
ited supply of cool in the market prices will
go still higher.

MRS. POTTER'S DEBUT.
I feel I ought to be burned at a heretic at the
ttake of II. Clay Miner's Indignation, but I can't
help contesting that I enjoyed the debut perfonn
unco of the little woman who recently appeared nt
the IJIJou Opcra-Houte, with wonderful success In
spile of an execrable company, morothan the long
promised, plctorlally udvertlsidnppearunccof so
ciety's darling, Mrs. .tame Drown Potter.
From tho time Mrs. Potter Btnrtled the good peo
ple of Washington with an unpremeditated recital
of "'Ostler Joe" we have bten carefully kept
posted as to her movements, from her dainty In
dorsement of n fasnlonablc cosmetic to the talc of
anguish dramatic anguish cabled from Loudon.
And now to quote the clown In tho circus here
we arc again I
Mrs. Potter was at the Fifth Avenue Theatre last
night tinder tlf auspices of Mr. 11. Clay Miner,
and watched by an uudlencc whose extreme good
nature wus equalled only by Its display of dia
monds, of pretty girls, of exquisite costumes, of
gleaming necks and of metropolitan rediiemeut.
When the dibutiinto appeared by no means
blushing, disconcerted, nervous or Intense, thisu
charmingly good-natured people burst Into ap
plause, such us I have heard l'attl receive, but no
one else. Somebody In the audience sild It lasted
two minutes. During that time Mrs. Potter stood
bowing, and whin the applause ccused she put her
handkerchief to her eyes. Yes, she wus flattered
Into tears. That was us It should liav e been.
Mrs. Potter Is a beautiful woman, none of your
milk and witter beauty with dimples starting nt
every giggle, but a piquant, provoking beauty of
an utterly unconventional nature. Shew-as craftily
attired In a loose, white gown the kind you don't
fed yourself culled upon to call a costume. It
showed her long, lissome form to great advantage.
This simple dress suited Mrs. Potter ten times
better than the marvellous Farislau workB she sub
sequently donned. Mrs. Potter cannot gracefully
wear a low bodice. She should confine herself
to high dresses, If my sisters and my cousins
and my aunts told me truly.
How could I describe those dresses? Frankly,
I don't know. I am quite convinced that one of
Mrs. Potter's acts that provoked applause was due
entirely to the exquisite manner In which the dark
emerald green pluah train fell around her form.
I labelled It mentally "the green plush act."
The applauso could havo come from no other
canse. The lines Mrs. Potter had to speak wero
commonplace and she spoke them like a school
girl. The " salmon-tinted velvet entrance" too was
extremely effective. This was the color of a mag
nificent cloak Mrs. Potter donned. It was
trimmed with fur, nnd Mrs. Potter w as extremely
graceful In It. Worth could have chosen no better
model to advertise his goods In this country. The
debutante was adorable In them. Worth should
not havo charged her a sou.
I was truly sorry that Mrs. Potter selected such
a dreary, funereal play as "Mile, de DreBslcr"
in which (p appear. It Is a miserable thing, ut
terly devoid of plot, situations, or well-written
dialogue. It was written by Dclplt. Tho trans
lator who In this enlightened century made Mrs.
Potter exclaim, "I love you, but I cantilever be
yours," ought to be kicked. No kicking would be
bad enough for him. He deliberately pots Into
Mrs. Potter's mouth a sentiment so Idiotic that It
Is used In every burlesque and parody.
; In the emotional portions of her role Mrs. Potter
once or twice did well. On one occasion I could
detect the tears In her voice. They did her credit.
But the way In which Bhe received the news of her
father's death was amusing. You could Imagine
her schooling herself thus:
" My father (count two) Is dead. (Connt
four.) My dear (count one) father (connt two)
has been (count Ave) murdered. " It was the
emotion ol the coldest of elocutionists, and that Is
all.
I admire Mrs. rotter's pluck, ami that, for the
present, la all I find to admire. In tho years to
come Mrs. Potter may bo an actress. I believe
sho will bo ono If she perseveres. But let us net
gush Just now. I can't help thinking of tho dobu
tantes, with ten times more talent than Mrs.
Potter, whoafter one performance, arc forced to
hldo their poor, diminished heads.
If Mrs. Potter were anybody else, tho Fifth
Avenue Theatre at the end ot the week would be
empty.
Just one word In conclusion. Mrs. Potter should
know that tears do not spring from tho fore
head. Several times when she was supposed to
be weeping I noticed that she mopped her brow.
Now, the only thing the forehead ever does Is to
perspire occasionally, and that fact is not recog
nized In good society. Alan Dale.
What the Critics Hay of Her.
On tho whole, Mrs. Potter's appeal from the pro
fessional stage may be said to have been an ex
ceedingly mild one, considering the preliminaries,
and It cannot, by any stretch of courtesy, be said
that her first play Is worthy of commendation, or
that her flrat efforts are Indicative ot artistic suc
cess. Sum (MiiWe in World.
bhe has much to learn. It is true, bnt she has
already learned much. She must not pause to re
joice over the victory, but must push forward with
the new vigor that ought to be Inspired by the
warm encouragement she has received. Sho has
overcome obstacles, hut there are plenty more In
the road to artistic perfection. Yet, for those Im
patient peoplo who demand u verdict upon tho re
sult of the evening In one word, that word must to
"success." -Veu) York Times.
To convey a meaning by handy comparisons,
Mrs. Potter Is now no moro unskilful than Mrs.
Langtry during her first American tour; there la a
marked similarity between the two women In their
ability at the outset to be ladylike even In their
awkward moments; and in tho adventurousneas of
their undertuklngB: but Mrs. Potter has the better
natural voice, the greater emotional quality, and
Bhould quicker become an acceptable actress.
More than that It Is too early to Judge. The Hutu
Mrs. Potter, though at times she overacted and
was consequently unreal, and though she tried
little effects, like pulling her hair about her face
when she was emotionally ovei wrought, which
savored more of artltlce than of art, was, on the
whole, quite a revelation both to those who had
seen her as an amateur and those who had not. To
the former her Improvement was remarkable,
while the latter, who came expecting to see u
novice, found a professional and onu who had a
distinct charm of her own. .Veto I'oi Ilerata.
Mrs. Potter has conspicuously manifested cour
age, perseverance and enterprise, and Bhe has
gained the eager attention of the whole public.
But publicity is not reputation. Newspaper talk
must not be mistaken for the recognition of judi
cious men anil women. Thero Is no solid fortune
and no true fame except In the esteem which
once gained can never be alienated of those who
think. Mrs. Potter has carried the outworks; but
her real battle has yet to be fought and her real
victory yet to he gained. .Veto York Trloune.

but: Let mo tell you the facts concerning tho S
death of Utile liojle. About fonr weeks ago a V
man giving his name as Isham McKaddcn tat
came to this vicinity and hired to me M
to pick cotton. Ho Is an Irishman. W
some forty years old, fond of drlnt 9
and n great talker. Ho seemed to have two or WE
threo hundred dollars, which excited surprise, as K.
It Is unusual for men of his appearance going W
about tho country hunting work. I had a negro
man hired, also fond of drum. They kent W
whiskey all the time and did but llttlo work. They M,
soon occupied the same bed, which gavo the key W
to his character. I ono day picked up a New York m
Snn at his tent, in which was a long article of the
history and death of this girl, tho first I
J hud seen of It. 1 called his at- 1
tentlou to It. He was then drunk. The
negro then spoke and said he had told him all I
about It. To mo ho confessed to knowing Dr.
llrpwn, Dixon cow Ic, Mrs. Taylor, and Inow
Orlmley by sight, but was not disposed to
talk. I got a chance and read the long
article to the negro the next Sunday
and he said the Irishman told him he got his money
for nelplng to put that girl away, and was under
promlho never to go back to Webster. Ho had
only been some four mouths In that town and was
going to tho mines In Mexico. Ho said that Dixon
It. Cowlo was the girl's betrayer and murdcrer.but
she was killed by accident. Cowte had got a doc- 1 1
tor living towards the river to promise to get her I
out of her troublo and she was to come to his house II
ou a certain ulght not known to tho girl, hut Cowie
was to give her the signal by passing before 10
o'clock- whistling (from the best I could under
stand from the negro), a verso of that old song:
" There Is not in this wide world a valley eo tweet aB
As that vale In wboee bosom the bright watere meet.' H
The signal was given, Cowlo met her up the "
Btrect past the house of Dr. Brown, but when thoy
reached tho unpointed place, Cowie was so drunk aa?
the Doctor refused to do anything. Cowie Insisted V
that the doctor give him the necessary medicine fl
and instruments and directions, and he would go "
to his room ut once and have It over. 1
He took Orlmley to administer the chloro- m
form. She died from the effects of fl
the chloroform before he got ready to do fl
anything else. Cowie and Orlmley carried her m
Just before day and sunk tho body In the river 9
until the third night. He was driving a team m
for another man, and, after much talking and fl
pumping around, Cowie promised to meet him at
the place at 8 o'clock aud haul the body to some fl
place not over three miles away, and pay $50 down '
nnd send him $150 at Little Rock, Ark., whltm he fl
did. Cowie and he met In a saloon a few B
davs before, and he had spoken of fl
going to Mexico is the reason, hs sap- S'

them when the body was removed. The hands V
and feet were tied to fasten a weight to. This Is ffl
the substance of what I could gather from the fl
negro. As usual, I BCttled with McFaddcn Satur- flj
