This gavo tho fascinating young women with artiolcs to ho " chnnccd " on n better show. Tho victim could not say, "Thnnks.no," and glidoelo gantly, but briskly, away. It was n bustling throng, and tho bustles must hnvo had thoir limplo symmetry somewhat marred.

Tho olovntor is in constnnt rcqulsi. lion, bocause tho" restaurant is on tho uppor Boor, as well as tho smoking-room. Tho voting for the various objocts is progressing with a groat deal of vigor. Tho mysterious goat, " so young and so strong," which is awaiting an owner, will doubtloss have Inspector Williams's nnmo on Ills col lar, as that worthy has a big lend. Tho goat will not buck against this. He is not that kind of a buck-goat. Last night a hugo cako, frosted and adorned, was put into competition for tbe nyst popular newspaper. Tns Would headed the list of competitors. Another handsome addition to tho objocts to bo milled for is a superb sword at tho Execu tive Table. It -is a Commander's sword, and I will grace tho thigh of the most popular of thoso worthy chieftains. The handle is of white ivory, with tho arms of tho Grand Chapter of tho Btato of New York cngravod on it In colors. Too strange almost for belief, something Xros sold last night at tho fair for loss than its valuo!

Tho Etruscan English of tho annotator was moro easily understood, however, than the transi tion of Galatea from a strong young woman ono" bust " to a Btrawberry blondo, then to a bouquot of flowers, and baok again to the stone age. Tho Grand Master of the Bhode Island Masons was present last evening, and what he didn't take chances in 1b not worth men tioning. " Do tako a chanco In this set of glass tumblers," said a young woman, with suoh an intensoly vivid red in her hair that a white horse would havo to bo bleached before ho would dare to show up in conjunction.

And so ho could, or for milk, or k for soothing syrup, or for keeping stray bhttons in. Henco he had to tako a chance.

Tho Day When a linn or Blx l'olnt War ltesardcd n Fbeuoinvnal. rrVom l riilhldtlphla i)lrn.1 " It wtuld be au almost endless task to call to mind all tho noted player of twenty or thirty years ago and their achievements," Mr. Palmer eon. tlnued. " llowover, I cau tell you Incidents of some of them, Bpeaklng of old billiard player, tho first name that comes Into one's mind Is, of course, that of Michael Thelan. Ho was the Hist plyer of note In this country, and probably did more for the establishment and development of the game than any ono else. Ho died In 1S78, 1 think. He was a Una man. I'oaicsscd of a good educa tion, mil of business tact and energy, tie made his mark In the world. Ho was vi ry popular and made us sood a companion as ever aruunhad. 1'hclan waa born In Ireland, I think, and his father kept three billiard rooms In New York in 184. Michael himself opened tho Arcade Billiard lloom Iu Barclay atrcet In 1847. After that ho went to Europe, and In ls53 he opened a room on Broad way, New York, In partnership with Joseph N. White; soon after he went to Ban Francisco In the hoUItt of the gold fever. Heplajedn match with M. Damon, of Paris, for f 1,0(0 at Han Francisco, In lbM, and won. In the same year ho commenced the manuracturo of billiard tables In New York wltn II. V. Collcnder, tin Bon-lu-law, continuing In this business until hla deatn. Iu 1MT rhelan played a big game with ltalph Benjamin for $2,ow. It wis rt bIx by twelve four-pocket table, aud, to show how difficult play ing waa under these conditions, the highest run made was six. That would hardly satisfy tne plaveraof to-day, would It T Fhelan also played ono of the biggest matches ever played in this country, and ouc of the first of any account, it was with John Beerleter for f 15, OOO. The outside betting amoanted to about two hundred thousand dollars. ThU waa April, 1SS9, and It excited groat Interest. I'helan won by ninny-six points, making the highest run, lot That match was for the big gest stake ol any overplayed. Phelan was a splen did player and was unequalled In his time. "Joo Whlto was a great player, too. nawas celclebratcd for brilliant shots and his draw shots. Ho was a very unassuming man and generally liked. He played and won the first publlo billiard match for a stake In this country at Syracuse, N. Y., with Georpo Smith, of that place. White was a Philadelphia boy, but lived In New York, where he was run over by an omnibus about 1302. John Beerloterwas among the good players of that time, and ho wanted I'helan to play a return match for $10,000, but I'helan would not do It. "Barney Chrjatnl wob another oid-tlmcr. He waa a bright, curly-beaded fellow and helped James McCormlck In his room In the Assembly Building at Tenth and Chestnut streets, this city, that Is now being torn down. Ho, with Michael I'helan, Joseph N. White and Christopher DIM, who will play in the room-keepers' tour nament this werk, played n match at tho open ing of Crystal Falace In New York. Then there was Prof. Claudius Bcrger. He was a French man and a real profeswr of the game. He was a revelation to American players when he came here In 1S81. Nothing like him was ever seen. I played a game with nlm once and I waa bewailing my luck, when I'helan said to me: "Never mlnJ. yon uld as well with him as I did. " We never heard of tho massi shot before be came hero, but wo soon learned It from him. Ho also was the first to Introduce a smaller table than the big ones on which we nscd to play. Prof. Berger waa ooly In this country about nlno months, but when he returned to Franco he took with blm fu.ouo clear profit, ne was travelling through tho South, when the Confederate army seized his tables and appliances, and that disgusted, blm so that he left tho country. "mil Tieman was another old-timer and a mighty good player. He died not long ago. He wai beaten In September, 'U, for the champion ship of America by Dudley Kavanagh. Kavunigb had tne biggest nerve I ever saw, and It would pull htm through many a game that would seem to be lost. Ho playeu a number of matches, and In June, 1RC3, played In a tournament In Irving Hall, New York, for tho championship of America against Beerleter, Foley, Tieman, .Hstcphc. Deory, (loidihwalt and Fox lie won that match and be came champion. Ho playeu a big matoh with 'lleman in Irving Hall In April, ISM. It was for the championship of America and -f 1,000. Both men played excellently and won a meat deal of admiration, bnt Kavanagh won by 205 polnu. The Mayor or Mew York at that time, Edwards I think It was, gave a dinner to tho con testants and their friends, among whom I was In cluded. When we got down to talking, tbe Mayor pulled ont Ave one hundred dollar bills and wanted to bet that Kavanagh and Tieman could beat any two men In the world. The bet waa taken up. In May, '60, Kavanagh forfeited the championship to Fox In New York, as be waa too sick to play. ' John McDevltt was a good player and a very popular man. He playad a most memorable match with Joe Dion, a Canadian player, in Chicago. It was tho laat professional game over played with tna push shot. Dion had 435 polnu to hi credit when McDevltt had but flneen. McDevltt then took the cue and commenced to ahovo the ball around. He ran up SO, 100, 150 without stopping and the enthusiasm waa unbounded. People cheered and applauded, and It was very lively.. He did not stop at ICO though, but kept right on until hut ran was 1, 4851 With tho 15 oe had, this put blm out, the match being for l,eoo points. Tbls ts tbe largest ran on record. And you can imagine the scene when he was done. Tho people could not contain tnemselvea. They carried McDevltt on their shoulders, and he was a big man for a time. m m Napoleon nt. and Hla American Guest. irrom Jfail.ni Awfcry.J The following relating to Napoleon III. the au thenticity of which we absolutely guarantee Is not generally known. On a citizen of Yankeeland being presented to blm by Mr. Dayton, the Ameri can Minister to tbe Court of the Tullerics, Napoleon IIL , wishing to be most gracious, remarked pleas antly, " I know New York well, and have some very pleasant reminiscence of my visit there." The feelings of the occupier or the unsteady throne foun led by the ooup a'tlat may be more easily Imagined than described, when the Oolh nmlte, not to bo outdono In civility, blandly replied, "I am glad to hear It; f none we shall have tbe pleasure or seeing Your Majesty there again beforo long." Bnt the poor Emperor was used to this sort of thing, for when Lady Bleaslngton, shortly after he bad been proclaimed Emperor, went to the Tnllerles, expecting a hearty welcome for the sake of the old days at Gore House, Kensington, and met with a chilling recep tion from the French Sovereign, who, full or his now dignity, could not overlook the scandal which her ladyship's known lntlmary with Count d'Oraay ooul l not f.ll to give rlie to, the nephew of the Petit Capornl distinctly got the worst or It.

It was dug In the ground at tne bead of a ravine. The opening was covered with chestnut stnnchlona, and over these was placed tho earth from tbe excavation. The mound was covered with brush, which made the concealment complete, 'save for tho smoke arising above It through a rent. The still was of recent construction, and it the Walknps bad not been molested they would have gotten rid or the tell-tale smoke by pining It to their kitchen, abont one hun dred yards distant, and running It out through tbe chimney. They had completed their plana and were on the point or putting them Into execution When we interrupted operations. There was a third party In the conduct of the still, bnt be got away with the tint pro luct tne night before onr arrival. We found l.EMO nations of beer and unbroken mash for abont 500 gallons more, besides ISO gallons of slngllngs or low wines.

No Dad Feeling Among Government Oftlcer, Jlecause the Case Ha Itecn Managed Ho Diplomatically that Tbey Will Not be KmbarraMed No Lack of Cordiality to American in Mexico. fSriCtlL TO TOM WOSLD.I Orrr or Mexico (via Golvoston, Tox.), Deo. 8. Considerable excitement has been occasioned hero by n report that Hocretary Bayard had sent tho Moxioan Qjovernmont a claim on behalf of Gutting for n largo sum of monoy alleged as duo for illegal imprison ment in Chihuahua and Paso Del Norto. Information from Government cirolos, how ever, is to tho olfect that tho United Btatos havo not mndo poromptory demands on Hex-" ico, but have urged Mexico, for tho sake of futuro amicablo relations,. to modify her laws regarding extra territorial jurisdiction, and has suggested indemnity for Gutting, leaving Mexico to name the amount. There is no bad feeling in Government circles, but likely to bo much angry talk in tho press. Tho United States mado tho ro. iptcstthroo weeks ago, sinoo which tho Presi dent aud Ministers havo boon especially cordial to American visitors. Tho matter, it is said, will go through tho usual diplomatic channels, and satisfaction is expressed that Mr. Bayard lias handled tho case so as to avoid placing Mexico in an embarrassing po sition. No dooent American horo would support a olnim for Gntting, for all believo him to be simply n notoriety seeker, who deliberately attempted to make trouble between tho two countries. Gen. Jaokson was Minister hero at tho timo, and nover believed that Cutting's caso had n leg to stand on, and regarded it as absurd. The reopening of the cose would be buto to mako much feeling against American interests here. Thcro has of lato sprung up an excellent fooling towards Americans and tho United States, and the Kansas City dolcgation now horo has boen superbly treated. TRELAIES OFF TO ROME.

IVom ( Omakn ITorM,) "Of all the queer fellows 1 ever met, and I have met a great many peoplo In my time, that little ahrlvelled-np man you ace there Is the queerest," said an old traveller the other evening to a irortd man ns the two were lounging In tho rotunda of tho Millard Hotel. The man Indicated waa a gray haired, nervous individual, who kept continually sliding back and forth in tbo huge chair that ho was vainly endeavoring to occupy, thrusting his egs around, clutching continuously at the arms of tho chair with hla hands and Jerking Ms bead arouud as if trying to see everything going on In every direction at once. "That man Is a regular Jumping Jack. I have Jnst arrived from Ban Francisco on tho same train with him, and It has afforded us a great deal of amusement to watch his antics. He haa been all over the world aud Is on on his way East after spending the summer In Alaska. He'll be all over this town In less than two hours, and then prance up and down tho depot and fume because the train 'does not leave Imnicdl dlately. Ho can't remain quiet long enough at a tlmo to get shaved, but gets up and charges arouud the room two or three times beforo the Job la completed. Hd la forever on the go, and carries more baggage than tne average watering place belle, taking better caro of It than most people do of their babies. Be fore leaving Ban Francisco ho procured aeveral crates of choice frnlL Ho wrapped several lavers of paper around the crates snd seenrod the whole by buckling inree or four leather straps around them. Actually, I don't think he slept three hours on the whole trip, for ne spent all hla tlmo bobbing about looking after his fruit and bags, washing his handa and pulling hla ulovet on and off. Fuasy Is no name for 1L He wonld Jump out nf his seat, rush rrantlcally Io tho lavntory.wash his hands, throw tne towel on the floor, snatch np the packages containing his precious fruit, undo tho wrappers, gazo admiringly at It, carefully tie It up again, deposit the packages In a corner, wash hla handa, throw another-towel on the floor, pull on his gloves, gazo at himself in tbe glass, rush back to his soat, fidget about for a few minutes, ralao the window, lower It, Jump up all at once as If stung by a wasp, cqarge wild eyed to tho lavatory, and go through tno previous performance with elab orate variations. At night be would get up about1 every half hour and satisfy himself that nobody had tampered with his belongings. " Among other things he nud a splendid Turkish travclllng.bag, one of those affairs With a oount Icsh number of pootcta that you can load up with almost everytntng Imaginable, glvolta few kicks, bucklo the straps, and there you aro with a bundle that looks to tbe casual observer like a huge roll of blankets. Ho wonld lug this into the smoking room about nvo times every day, and take out everything It contained, piling them up on the seats around blm. 'J hen he would shake tho bag, examine It minutely and proceed to repack It, scrutinizing every article carefully beforo putting ll In its particular pocket. He informed mo on day in a burst of confidence that he bud purchased the bag In Con stantinople, and had carried It to every quarter of tho globe. Ho laid particular stress upon the fact that It was as good aa new, That's what ono gets for taking caro or things,' said he Tvo got a a nephew, a harum-scarum sort of fellow expects to get some of my money when I die but I'll fool him, d n him. lie Is at school. If I were to loan this bag to blm for one vacation what do you think would becomo of It 7 Why, sir, the hogs wouldn't look at It again,' and the old gentleman slammed a shoe-brush on tbe floor, glared at the boy snd danced around as 11 the very thought of such a catastrophe was enough tojustlfy him In slaughter Inn Bome one. 'Everything he 'sees excites his curiosity and he has to Investigate it. This samo trait got him into trouble on this trip and nearly soared him to death. Three or four of us were seated In tho smoking room enjoying our weeds and discussing tho health ot tho German Crown Prince. All at once we beard a terrific roar and Instantly tho train slacked Its speed. We Jumped up aniTrusbed out to Investigate. In tho lavatory stood the old man, his eyes sticking out,, bis few remaining hairs standing on end and but' knees wabbling In a manner that threatened momentary collapse. He waa a ridiculous sight. When questioned hla tongue refused to perform It func tion, and he muteiy pointed to a aecllon of cord on the side ot tho car near the roof. Tho mystery was explained. Ills coqoslty had gotten the bet ter of his Judgment, and he had pulled the air brakes on ns and brought tho train to a standstill with a suddenness that startled overy one on board and took them off their feet. Thero waa a hurrying around of trainmen to dlacovcr the cause of the stoppage, but none of na gave tho old man away, nnd after a great deal of needless profanity the crew got the train under way again."

VhiladiipKia BIUlU.i ' The man who goes to housekeeping after hav ing lived lu a boarding-house most of his llfo .naturally rejoices at tho change, because, after all, there Is nothing like putting one's feet under one's own mahogany, don't you know r" remarked a Benedict tbls morning; "but those who are not so privileged shonld not Imagine vain thing. The man of the house haa a thousand more responsi bilities than the man who boards, and these. In a measure, balance the advantages. For Instance, It not infrequently happens that the servant be comes obstreperous and has to be discharged. Then he finds that there Is coal to carry np; that there aro furnaco Area to rake down and keep ablaze; that there areywlndow-shutters to shut, and that the milkman and the baker come at a disgustingly early hour In tho morning, and that If he wauts cream for his coffee and rolls for hla breakfast be must get up and ansner their knocks at the gate. He finds, too, that there are clocks thst all the tlmo demand winding, thattbt-re are people who seem to make It a business to ring bis door bell and ask where Mr. Smith live, and that there are a thou sand and one little errands that Bridget nsed to do that he baa to do now himself. OS, ye; there are a good many thlnga to mitigate the Joys of house keeping, espeolslly when you happen to be with out a servant-girl' i m "Pant" at Ded-Uock Price. From a Jto.ro llr.J Tbo somewhat atartllng and 'amusing Inquiry, " Do you wear pants;" which appears In large let ters upon tho fences, sides of bulldlnrjr and the bill-boards In different parts ot this city Is tbe unique stylo of advertising which has been adopted by a Boston clothing firm. Clothing was never so cneap as now, bnt this enterprising Yankee Arm are selling men's trousers at $3 per pair, made to order. Their factory. In which many hundreds of handa are employed, Is being rnn ntgbt and day to lbs fullest capacity, to meet the constantly Increasing orders lor cheap pantaloons. This Is the way the manufacturers of this specialty figure the cost of the popular " unmen tionables. " The average pair of iiouaers calls for lit ysrds of cloth, double width. It costs from CO to So cents per yard. Two snd one-naif yards at 60 cent Is U for the cloth. The wslst and lining are made of lnexpensli e cambrto and the pockets of cheap cotton cloth. The but Ions cost a total of 5 cents, making the total outlay lor one pair of pants it is. Allowing a sufficient percentage for lalxir and rent, one can readily perceive that a small margin of profit la left torthe manufacturer.

DKISCOLL IN A SURLY MOOD. e HE REFUSED HI8 BREAKFAST AND DEMANDS HI8 "GIRL'S" LETTERS. He Afterward Change HI Mind Abont tho nrrakrnat nnd Take It Gladly Warden WnUh Cannot Find DrlM-oll' Man Tho Death Watch Io bn Met on Dec. 11 Scorching the Murderer' Cell. Tho discovery nnd frustration of his plan of cBcnpo and a night in condemucd coll No. ffi put Murdorcr Dan Driscoll in a bad hu mor this morning. When a plentiful breakfast of tender loin steak, fried po tatoes, eggs aud coflco was carried to him at 7.30 o'olock this morn ing, ho callod ont to Deputy Wardon Flu DAW DBiscoi.t,. ley : " Don't bring that in hero or I'll break tho crooks 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 paokago of letters which wero found in his cell during tho searoh instituted whilo ho was nt court yes torday. It mado him vory angry when ho realized that ho had been dejirivod of them, and his constant gruiublo last night was : " Ho might hnvo been content with half starving mo nnd taking away ray exorciso without collaring my girl's letters. " When tlio warden henrd that thero was groat danger that Driscoll would not cat his breakfast he langhod and said that ho didn't caro. In half an hour tlio Whyo ohlof thought bettor of his terrible threat and took his food gladly, dospito tho fact that, his lottcrs were still withhold. Wardon Walsh is determined to render it impossible for Driscoll or any of tho othar condemned men to got' as near escaping as Lyons and Drisooll were yesterday. Dan Lyons, who is to hong for shooting young Qulnn, has been taken from tbo second tlor to cell IS in Murdorors' How. Lorens Itoich, tho wifo murderer, has also had his quarters changed. Each of tho oondemnod colls woro searched this morning by tho Warden in porson, accompanied by two keepers. This pro. gramme will bo followod twico daily in tho caso of every man under scntenco of doath. Tho puzzling thing about tho attempt of Lyons and Driscoll is that all attempts to find tho saw with whioh the thick iron bars wero severed havo proved futile. A thorough Benrch has bouu mado not only of tbo colls formerly occupiod by tho condemned men, but of the surrounding passageways. Tho Erisonors, who woro at exorciso yesterday, avo also been searched, and tho conolusion is irresistible that tho implement has bcon convoyed outside the prison. Wardon Walsh's theory is that a friend of Lyons, who has visited him daily, passed him the saw through tho grated door of his cell, and that after Lyons got his bar Rawed through he passed it to Driscoll. Uo thinks that Driscoll got wind of tho discovery yesterday.in time to get rid of tho saw. in a similar way beforo ho was searched. Tho Warden saya that ho knows tlio namo of tho man who brought the saw into tho prison, but will not mako it publio bocauso in tho absenco of tho implement ho cannot prove anything against him. Driscoll's dosperato attempt will liavo tho effect of bringing tho death watoh to tho prison earlier than usual. Hitherto tho Sheriff has put his men in tho condomned coll ton days before tho oxecntion. Ab Driscoll's exeoution is fixed for Jan. 20 tho death watoh is not duo for fivo weeks yet, but tho Sheriff is said to intend setting the death watch on Deo. 15. When Warden Walsh was asked about this ha said ; " I wish Sheriff Grant would sond tho death watoh right away and tako tho restKinsibilitvoff niv hands. Drisooll is n dosperato man and ho seems to have frionds who know how to holp him. ' ' You must remember." said tho Warden, . " that this is not the first attempt at escape , from the prison. mado , by Driscoll. Eight , months ago ho and the murderer Smith con cocted a pretty olovor plan to get freo. ' Smith tried to dig through tho floor, but 1 Driscoll managed to got a key mado whioh , fitted his coll door. He also had a falso beard i and mustache smuggled into his coll. " Soo," oontinuoa Mr. Walsh, opening a 1 drawor in bin desk ; " horo aro the articles. It was arranged tha t in tho dead of night tho friend who had tho koy should open Dris coll's door and ha should como ont dis guised in this falso board. Smith expected to work his way out at tho some time, and the two had planned to catch tho koepor off his guard, hit him on tho head and get out. But I managed to intimato to Driscoll's friend that I knew all about tho key and that tho scheme wouldn't work." Tho key produced by tho Warden was of muss and was vory cleverly mado. Tho falso beard was also of thoxilnest make and was of such a slzo ns to render a man totally un recognizable by his best friends.

In tho first plnco thoro was no James Don aldson on tho Alosia nor tho other Fabro steamer, tlio only cholera vessels which reached this port.

At the ofllco of the Quarantine Commissioners there is no crodonco given tho cholera story, and nt tho offico of tho Board of Health it is said tho disease must have boen caught in somo other way than aboard ship.
