would be provided with a clerkship as a reward for his party services. Candid consideration of the two systems will lead every intelligent man to admit that the English practice is immeasurably superior 0 the American practice. The office-holders and employee under the English government are not offensive partisans because they know that their places are not contingent pon party success. They are aware that they are expected to serve the government with the same fidelity and zeal as if they were working for a private employer, and that revulsions in politics will not disturb them if they discharge their duties acceptably. The business of the government is always in the hands of experienced men.

THE WEEKS CLEARING3. Hamas City Shows the Usual Increase-Ahead ol Nearly Every Other City In the Country. Bootos, June 14. The following table, compiled from special dispatches to the Pott, from the leading clearing houses of United States gives the gross clearances for the week ended June 13, with percentage of decrease and increase compared with corresponding week of 1884: on he turn-table to the music of a Strauss waltz. I will next ccme in and fall down three lines in rapid succession, after which tre will be an intermission of two weeks for refreshment and change of scene.

When new etin has grown on tbe places where I collided with my new rink, tbe programme will Lw again resumed and carried out from day to day until it is completed, or death comes to my relief. Those holding Reason tickets will be entitled to remain nntQ after the funeral. Mourners need not be identified. Those who know me best and the people who have noticed my graceful carriage say they wonld go farther to see me okate than any other professional rinkint they ever saw rink. Many claim they never sew a skater fall down and hnrt himself with mere genuine pleasure.

When I get on roller skates somehow people lcBe all interest in the admisistration and almost everything else. People would walk miles to see me come out in tbe rinlr with my new costume and kill myself. I do sot say this egotistically or to attract attention to myself, but I say because it is true. Friends have come to me and told me so. And still there is a nameless fascination abont roller skating.

Though the owners of the rink will not allow me to skate while other people are in the building, I love to go and watch tbe skaters and hold their shawls while they skate, or hold hands and feet while they are in repose. I love to buckle a young ladys skates on her fair young feet, I love to linger over them and chat with them the young ladies, I mean and ask them if they are well, and how their mother is teellng, and if they do not think we are having a rather backward spring. I am an easy and very fluent conversationalist, having moved in some of the very best Society, and thus acquired a flow of small talk which the most feeble-minded can readily comprehend.

Raymond was in the habit of calling on his wife as a friend, but was never looked on with favor by Dudley P. Ely. He did not wish his daughter to marry a poor man. and Raymond was placed in that category. Mr.

St. John and Mrs. Raymond were much in each other's company, and finally it was stated that they were engaged. His fiancse had $25,000 in her own right, the gift of an aunt, and it was expected that on her marriage her father wonld provide for her handsomely. In the meantime Mrs.

Raymond had grown tired of her huBband. When she began proceedings for a divorce in this state he made no sigD. Her intention was to procure the divorce quietly so that her secret marriage with Raymond might remain a secret. Mr. Ely and his family were unaware of this complicated history until about three weeks ago.

Miss Uussie Ely, on elder sister, was engaged to a Mr. Frost, of Delhi, N. Y. Last Wednesday was the day set tor their marriage. As the day approached Miss Gussie spoke to her sister about the latters marriage to St.

John, expressing her wish that they should be married on the same day. The youngest sister laughingly replied that ehe couldn't get ready in time. This exenre was characterized as preposterous by tbe elder sister, who said Bhe wouldnt be satisfied without a better reason. This the youngest of the flock promptly furnished. When she coolly said that she was already married her sister considered it a joke and was horrified when the truth of the statement was finally fotced npon her.

She informed her father. At the marriage of Miss Gussie Ely to Mr. Frost it was announced that Mbs Dudlena Ely, as she was known to every one, was Mrs. Charles Raymond. The announcement created the most unbounded surprise, and tbe one who seemed the least affected by it was the young woman in question.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR ARRESTED. A Joke Slatted by the President Turned on Him by the Members of His Cabinet. ISan Franciscan. Now that the majesty that doth hedge an executive is being dissipated in Mr. Arthurs case by his retirement, his ex-cabinet is beginning to let out a good many little incidents of the reign of one who will deservedly go down in history under the sobriquet of The Jolly President." For illustration, one of his constitutional advisers, in a recent letter to an old crony in this city, says: Did I ever tell you of the fun we had during the visit of the presidential party to Florida summer before last? You must know that, besides being a confirmed praetleal joker, Chet is quite an adept at certain sleight-of-hand tricks, a proficiency in which he ha3 kept up from boyhood.

He flatters himself he can remove a handkerchief or watch from a pocket with as much adroitness as a professional nipper. He has perpetrated many a queer joke in thij way, the exalted position of the perpetrator naturally protecting him from suspicion. While at Jacksonville, the White bouse gang determined to attend a monster darkey camp-meeting about ten miles back in the country, end, to avoid the eternal "reception' nuisance, we went incog. When we left the train, and were awaiting for conveyance at a small tavern, Chet noticed a fat planter dozing in the barroom, and displaying a preposterous bunch ot seals on his fob-chain. Arthur watched bis chance, snaked out tbe mans watch, and bid it in the saddlebags of an her traveler that was hanging on tbe wall.

Now, Bill Chandler had been waitirg for a chance to get back on Arthur for several days, so he in turn cellared the planter's property and slipped it into tbe pocket of Chets big duster. Then he quietly led each member of thee party aside and let them in'o the tbe conspiracy, to their great delight. When the vehicles returned from the camping ground, Arthur was immediately collared by tbe planter, who savagely demanded his property. What do yon mean, fellow said the president, trying not to laugh, and winking at his staff all of which, however, remained auspiciously indiflerent. Oh, you cant come any funny business with me.

One of these gentlemen saw you stdal my watch and put it in your pocket. Here, constable, 1 want this man searched I Very well, then, eearcU me, said our first citizen, almost exploding with laughter. 1 thought so, said the constable, and to CbetS petrifaction be fished out the watch from the first pocket he dived into. Ill just slam you into the calaboose, my fine fellow. You will, eh? said the president with a chuckle.

Here, Mr. Frelinghuysen, just tell this man who I Did you speak to me, my good man? said the tecretary of state innocently. Yes, yes. Hurry up and explain this thing, said Arthur, as the constable began taking ont a pair of handcuffs. Explain what? I dont know you, sir, and the state department walked off.

Great Scott 1 stammered Arthur. Say you there Chandler! What does all this mean Tell these people who I am quick. If you are addressing me, 6aid the secretary of the navy, putting on his glasses and taking a benevolent survey ot the prisoner, my name is not Chandler, and I never saw you before. Great heavens! this is outrageous I screamed Arthur, fighting desperately with the conetable. I tell you I am the president.

The most impudent rascal I ever saw 1 Said Folger. Hard looking face, chipped in Bob Lincoln. Dont be rough with the old man, said Teller, kindly. Perhaps hes a little gone in the What are you president of, my good fellow?" Im president of the United States, as youll pretty scon find out? gasped the prisoner, furiously, Tut, tut, tut 1 murmured Chandler, pityingly. Clean gone clean gone Intelligent looking man, too.

Escaped from some asylum, likely. And to his unspeakable horror, Arthur was loaded into a wagon and carted off to the county bastile, where he was kept almost an hour, until, in solemn caucus, the cabinet voted for his release. To Chets credit, however, be it said, that although he was extradited in a white rage and vowing to smash the entire household slate, he cooled down before we reached Jacksonville, and concluded to set em up for the crowd iu true White house style. But the jcke business had a rest after that. A GEORGIA GHOST.

A Wife Murderer Haunting the Scene of Hla Crime Converting With a Spook. Macoh, June 13. The terrible murder of his wife and suicide of the husband, com-mitted in this city a short time ago, are still fresh in the memories ot the people of Macon. The affair was the most horrible that ever occurred here. Just now, people who live in the neighborhood of Joness former residence are excited over certain ghostly figures that are said to be seen about the house every night.

Mr. Robert Sinclair, who was a warm friend of Jones, heard of the appearance of the gho3ts, and accompanied by his dog he went out to the suicides house to investigate the matter. To-day Mr. Sinclair told a gentleman that he remained at the house for several hours, and that abont midnight Joness ghost appeared to him and had a conversation with him. I asked Jones, said Mr.

Sinclair, why he killed his wife? Because I loved her, Mr. Sinclair, Bays Jones, and I shall hannt the man who robbed her of her virtue until the day of his Mr. Sinclair scouts the idea that he was deceived by his own excited fancy, and strenuously insists that he did see Joness ghost, and that the conversation here recorded really did take place. Whether Mr. Sinclair was deceived or not the fact remains that many people believe that Joness house is haunted, and they give it a wide berth at night.

The negroes will not go about the place, even in daylight y-v Holding tho Lino. The editor of Track and Road, The Spirit of the Times, N. Mr. E. C.

Dr. Lores tests were made to determine what brands are the mo3t economical to use, and as their capacity lies in their leavening power, tests were directed solely to ascertain the available gas of each powder.

I BUI Nye 1 For a long time I have evaded the task of grappling with the great national question, but now I fear that I can escape its responsibility no longer.

Hundreds of anxions eyes today are watching for the coming man to rise fearlessly, and clarion tones refer to this matter in terms that cannot be misunderstood. In the language of one of oar greatest statesmen, I have come. I now express my opinion of the rollerskating rink, and I say fearlessly that, as soon as I entered the arena and had put on the skates, I was down on the rink. I was also down on roller skates. When I get roller skates on it dont take me long to drop on myself.

After thoroughly investigating the subject I have fully decided that, naless this great corse 'of a free government can be wiped ont, tbe whole nation will be plunged into arnica. I tried on roller skates the latter part of August, A. 1884, and on Sept. 9 I was canght in the bosom of a vigorous cyclone, but how peaceful and -restful the cyclone seemed after my matinee at the rink How the wearied and battered balk of humanity that now pens these lines cuddled up to the fierce Jamescane After I got down on the rink I got the authorities come and remove my skates. I had paid 25 cents to enter the rink, and when I came away I was almost tickled to death became the proprietor did not make me pay damages for sitting down so hard on his nice, new rink so that the floor has always sagged a little ever since.

I am having a ri.k designed now for my own ppeciel use next season. It is to be a large structure, covering abont two acres of ground, and floored over with half-inch iron plates, on top of which will be laid half-inch sheets of rubber. In the center there will be a turn table, on which I can glide when I wish to tarn around. The skates will be roomy to a fault. They will be made to order ont of condemned fiat cars.

My rink costume will be unique and attractive, consisting of a large overcoat stuffed with curled hair, rubber pantaloons filled with hay, and woven-wire mattress buBtle, trimmed with overskirt of the same. In front I will be protected by a large feather-bed cow catcher, held in place with extension draw-heads. I will then get into that rink and run wild. Regular trains will have to side track and wait for ordtrs. Parties desiring to come and witness my little flat-car tournament will do well to wear baseball masks and settle up their business before they enter the rink, for I want it understood that I am only a novice.

I am not accustomed to ride the roller skate, and my legs are a little eccentric in the orbits. The perfoimance will open with a flat-car promenade to slow music. I will then enter the sink on my graceful skates and glide around He Tells the Story of His Life, and Declares the Charges Against Him raise. The announcement that Father Jardine would in his sermon answer the grave charges made against his character, drew a large audience to St. Marys church yesterday.

The text was from 1 John Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. Father Jardine dwelt on the antagonism that exists between the world and the church. The servants of the church have ever been and will always be subject to persecution. For himself he trusted implicitly in the Almighty God, and not in his own strength, to bring him through the trials that beset him. He spoke of his connection for tir years with St.

Marys cbnrch, and said there were men who had known him intimately daring all that time who had never doabtei, nor doubted now, his sincerity in the cause of the church. His life was well known to these bis intimate friends, and they had never found any cause to distrust or condemn him. Certain charges were made against his moral character by designing persons, and he stood now before the congregation and in the presence of God to declare them as false as hell they had not a shadow of foundation in tiuth. He then told the story of his early sin and its punishment. He was a mere boy, he said, only 16 years of age, when the theft was committed, and it had been long and bitterly repented.

He was led into it by the infl uence of a companion, and it was a senseless, boyish thing, which had more of foolishness in it than of crime. He afterwards attended school and prepared for teaching, and for a number of ears taught for a living. He constantly read the bible and church books, and the tboughtcame to him that there was a chmch in the world which was not known in its integrity, and that it might be hismission to nrge its claims on the world. He prayed and pondered over the thought until it became a resolution, and he went to Bishop Potter, of New York, to ask permission to study for the ministry. He told the story of his 'past life, and the bishop determined that a sin which had been repented of and atoned for ought not to keep him out of the ministry.

He began his studies iu New York, where he was first made a deacon and then ordained a priest. His first charge was a mission in St. Louis. He left that mission to come here and take charge of St. Marys.

His work since he came was well known. Against those who assailed his character he bore no ill-will. The whole matter lay in the hands of God, who wonld be the judge. HOW BOSTON TREATS TRAMPS. A Shampoo, a Bath, a Clean Nightshirt, a Bed, and a Little Work in Betnrn.

Washington, Jane 10. At the session of the conference of Charities and Correction today an interesting paper, prepared by Thomas F. Ring, one of the overseers of the poor in Boston, describing the operations of the Wayfarers lodge, of that city, was read. This institution was established for tbe purpose of receiving homeless men who had previously been lodged only In the station houses, leaving the latter to be used only for the safekeeping of offenders. Applicants for lodgings were required to apply to the nearest police station for cards oi admission, and such applicants a3 were intoxicated or noisy were detained at police headquarters.

Lodgers were received between seven and ten oclock, when the doors were locked. Each lodger was required to take a warm bath and a shampoo before going to bed, and was furnished with a comfortable night shirt to sleep in. If his clothes were troublesome they were bundled into a steam boiler at a pressure of sixty pounds, where they remained for two hours, and were then dried out. At six oclock in winter and earlier in summer the lodgers were called, and were required to do a certain amount ot work in the woody ard before breakfast. Usually by 9 oclock the lodgers were all gone away.

The lodge was established in 1879. and the experience of six years had established the fact that a vast majority of the poor men who came asking for foot and shelter were worthy of being encouraged and helped. They had been docile and tractable, and coming footsore and weary they had accepted in quiet gratitude the bath and clean bed they had performed their work willingly, and in so doing had felt that no charity had been inflicted upon them. Up to April 30, 1885, lodgings and 257,940 meals bad been given, while in not more than two or three cases had it been necessary to bring lodgers before tbe courts for refusing to work, for destroying tbe tools or for assaulting employes. The coBt of operating the establishment is not far from $10,000 a year, which is reduced by a profit of between $3,000 and $4,000 from the woodyard.

A delegate from Indianapolis described the Friendly Inn, of that city, modelled after the Boston institution, which made an annual profit from its woodyard over ail expenses ot about $500. A BELLES 8ECRET. Married for Two Years and Still Receiving the Attenttone of Other Snltora Seeking; a Divorce. The New York Times publishes the following: Heres health and happiness to all the married single girls in Norwalk, and the proposor of this unique toast swallowed a bumper of champagne and drained his glass on the floor. His companions, a young bloods from the placid Connecticut town mentioned in the toast, followed bis example and indulged in many and wild hurrahs.

The little party had been several bours at Dorlons Point, on tbe sound, and the toast was apropos to a bit of information that had been furnished by one of tbe leaders the evenings amusement, Charles St. John, a society man of Norwalk. The visit to Dorlons Point was made about two weeks ago. One of the party asked St. John if his wedding day had been fixed.

The inquiry met with no response at first, but finally St. John announced his willingness to present them with a piece of intelligence that would knock them off their feet. He kept his word, for when he said that the woman to whom all the small world of Norwalk believed he was engaged had been married to Charles Raymond for over two years, the barkeeper in the next room could have heard a cork drop. Dnfllena Ely is the youngest daughter of Dudley P. Ely, the richest man in Norwalk, and an acknowledged belle.

Mr. St. John had been paying marked attention to her since last summer and to all appearances had worsted all competitors. He is a widower, tall, with dark complexion and rather fine looking. His wife, who had been a Miss Sherry, died within two years.

She left an estate valued at $100,000 to her daughter, a beautiful child of 11 year3. Father and daughter live in a fine old house shaded by magnificent trees and surrounded by a velvety lawn, bounded by hedges which are models of taste and neatness. Mr. St. John is about 40 years ot age and is a man of leisure.

Miss Ely had for some years been considered a prize worth trying for, and several had tried their fortune. Her manner is vivacious and she possesses in a marked degree the faculty of impressing each of adorers with the belief that he is the favored one. About five years ago Charles Raymond, son of the senior member ot the batting firm of Raymond Comstock, Norwalk, sought her favor. He is a bookkeeper for Hitchcock, Dermody furriers, of No. 91 Greene st, this city.

He is a quiet mannered, self contained young man. lie seemed impervious to rebuffs that cooled the ardor of other admirers of Miss Ely. He eventually won the day, and in December, 1882, Miss Ety accompanied her admirer to New York and was married to him. Mrs. Raymond returned to her fathers house while her husband conducted himself as a single man who was very much in love with her.

Marriage made no apparent difference in Mrs. Raymonds mode of life. She amused herself as of yore, and was seldom seen on the street without a male appendage. Raymond spent his days in New ork. Little by little he discovered that he was scarcely a factor in her existence and that the rest of Norwalk was wondering whether Charles St, And People's Shoe Store, 505 Main St Will Be No More.

in proportion to the population as anywhere in the country. Does it pay? Chicago demands of the Illinois legislature an election law, modeled on that of New York, which will provide some protection against the frauds and outrages which have disgraced elections and defeated the popular will iu that city for several years. The bill passed -the senate feTeral weeks ago, but the Democrats in the home are fighting it by dilatory tactics, noping that the day agreed npon for adjournment will be reached before the bill can be put on its passage. The Democrats are acting not only badly but foolishly in this matter. They cannot afford to go on record as condoning and encouraging election frauds.

It would be in the Interest of the Democratic party of Illinois and of the whole country if the disreputable Chicago gang could be suppressed, and they will be if the elections can Jbe protected from fraud. Thh spread of the cholera in Spain and the apprehension of its appearance in France unquestionably Increase the probability of its transmission to American shores this cammer. This is a matter for eelfish consideration. Every community must prepare to take care of itself every family and every individual must do the same. The thought of flight is impracticable.

Suppose the cholera comes to Kansas City, where can people go to avoid it? If it reaches this remote point from the seaboard the epidemic will be universal, and the country with its snrface drainage and the lack of first-class medical at tendance will be more dangerous than the city. Preparations for fightiDg the plague must be made. They must be made early and efficient. The only prevention is cleanliness cleanliness of the Btreets, of the house, of living. The first responsibility rests npon the Municipal authorities.

They mast provide the necessary meanB for cleaning up and the necessary inspectors for compelling the householders to do the same. Let every household begin immediately to burn its garbage. A regime should be inauguarated immediately which will assure absolute purity of surroundings. Leek to yourselves and your neighbors in this matter. THE ENGLISH CIVIL BEK VICE.

An excellent Illustration of the character and Workings of a permanent and business like civil service is furnished by the change of ministry in Great Britain. This change is equivalent in every material respect to the election of a new president in this country by the party opposed to the previous administration. The letirement of Mr. Gladbtonh and the calling of Lord Salibbcby to the premiership is substantially the same as the retirement of -HtTAbthcb from the presidency to make way for Mr Clsvilabo. The Liberal party in England, like the Republican party here, abandons the executive authority, and the Conservative party there, like the Democratic party here, assumes for the time-being the responsibility of government.

To make the case still stronger it may bs added that party feeling has rarely run so high as it does to-day in England, and the Toriei are undoubtedly disposed to take every advantage which the system of politics in rogue there will give them. In spite of all this there is no suggestion that the change of parties in control of the English government will create the s'ighte3t disturbance in the working forces of the civil oervice. The cabinet offices will be assigned to leaders of the conservative party; men in sympathy with the policy of the party which assumes control may be appointed to the places which direct or influence the affairs of government. But there is no perturbation among the office-holding class. The British minister at Washington does not apprehend that he will be recalled as a result of Gladstohb3 defeat in parliament.

The department clerks who have earned a claim to retention by long and faithful service know that they will not be dismissed to make place for favorites of the new ministers or party workers. The poatofficea remain in the hand3 of those who have been administering them. The law officers, the tax gatherers, in fact the entire force engaged in the public busiae33 will be the same as before. What a contrast this presents to the American system! When Mr. Clivelasd succeeded to the office of president the one absorbing question wa3, and has been ever since, the redistribution ef the offices.

It was assumed as a matter of course that the entire personnel of the government service wonld be changed. The politicians of his party complain that be lu not been prompt enough or sweeping enough in his removals and new appointments. They demand that he Ignore the short teim3 for which the leading officials ere appointed and break over the civil service roles which have been adopted for the protection of a small proportion of the employes. Mr.CtiviLASD has shown some moderation in disposing of the patronage, but if a spoils politician had been elected president a man like HiSDbicES, for instance scarcely a single Republican wonld remain in office to-day and every ward worker on the Democratic side Omaha and Minneapolis not included In the totals.

The sanitary officers while walking about tho market bouse this morning, caught the odor of decaying animal matter and followed the scent until they located tho cause of it. In a large barrel they found a quantity of spoiled chicken meat, and the odor which the rotten flesh gave forth was so Bickening that the officers were soon forced to beat a retreat.

Warrants were at once sworn out for the arrest of Henry Sageir, Tony Lapitina and Anthony Craytensia, who are charged with having thrown the foul meat into the barrel. While the steneh was sufficient to make the officers sick, the Italians seemed to give it no attention whatever. Police Court Motes, Twenty-four plain drunks were fined in police court this morning.

The saloon keepers of the city, a3 a rule make no open effort to violate the Downing law, but close their front doors promptly as the clock strikes the midnight hour on Saturday night, and keep then closed for twenty-four hours. Of course a very thirsty customer who knows the ropes will have but little difficulty in finding a saloon where the back door swings open and shat noiselessly whenever the prying cop is not visible. Yesterday only one arrest was made for violating the Downing law, although the police claim they kept a sharp lookout for open doors. The Wounded Patients.
