As the great majority of nais belong to New York, we propose to send them home where they belong. We have no use for them on this of the Hudson. The race track at Guttenburg has always been a place of moral corruption, but it has multipiled its virulence of late.

for the gambiers, sharks, and swindlers who used to distribute themselves over various tracks in the State are now massing themselves in this locality. This track is like the man we read of in Scripture who was possessed of the devil. and who after walking through dry places took unto him seven other unclean spirits more wicked than bimself. The last state WaS worse than the first. Within the last month Guttenburg has become the headquarters of the horse-racing fraternity in all these parts.

"Among all forms of gambling, this racetrack gambling, with its attendant pool selling in our cities. is by all means the worst. It seems to bave numberless patrons. and has grown in popularity in recent This and other forms of gambling, such as policy, Louisfans lottery, bucket shops.

The people as 8 whole are to blame for much of this flagrant wickedness against which we invoigh.

Sullivan made some remarks about Archibald'a connection with political machines, and paid he was working the labor movement for all it was worth." Mr. Archibald, in reply, called Sullivan one of the ours who hang at the heels of labor organizations. The delegates were all on Archibald's side, and passed the resolution.

There are rival Pavers' Unions, and at the instance of one of them the C. L.

and that unless they are discharged to-day a strike will be ordered. Delegate Callanan of the Painters' Union said that the the men who were emplored in repairing damage in the general Post Office building occasioned by the fire were getting only from $1 to $1.50 a day. The doors loading into the rooms he said, were kept locked. and no walking delegate could enter. A committee of three will wait on the Postmaster to-day and ask him for a pass to enter the rooms.

Me Donald's Mother Brings BIll Against Her Aced Estate. I DANBURY, April of the oldest and most respected oftizens of Danbury was Allan McDonald, a retired blacksmith, and man who owned much real estate in this and surrounding towns. He was an active church member, and every Sunday, in storm and sunshine, he bitched up his old horse and drovo to Starr's Plain, five miles south of here, and conducted religious services in the little red sohoolhouse. Mr. McDonald was 80 years old.

He buried his wife late in the fall of 1888. One day in September, 1889, there entered his l1- brary a pretty young book agent, Miss Addie Bowne of New York. The old man refused at fret to look at her book, but her engaging manners. her gentle persistency. and her pleasant laugh had their effect, and Mr.

MoDonald Anally subscribed. This was a turning point in the lires of both. The old man felt young again an he sat talking with Miss Bowne, and then and there be fell in love. For three months he courted the book agent, and in December he sent for the Rev. Dr.

Hubbard to come to his house, where May and December plighted their vows. After a short season of happiness the aged bridegroom was taken eick. He urged the young wife to send for her mother, and that lady came. For over three months the motherIn-law assisted her daughter in caring for Mr. MoDonald.

and then he was gathered to his fathere. After the funeral the will WAS read. The young wife faired fairly well. though she by no means received the property she and her mother expected. Yesterday afternoon.

He told her of his circumstances, that he owned much land, but had very little ready money. and be asked her to provide the wedding outfit for her daughter. promising that when he could sell some of his real estate be would repay her.

He wanted everything to be new and gay, as youth and beauty of the bride. Mrs. Bowne agreed, and expended the money. Mrs. MoDonald corroborated her mother.

She received the clothes from her mother, bnt had nothing to do with buying them. She tried on the garments at, Couches', on Sixth avenue, and saw the bill for the goods, bat con- it bad been destroyed. The case is being tested by A. N. Wildman.

The Suspender Man That Got Arrested the Women Who Set Him Free Again. an Through their tribulations Ellas Omstead and his wife have become famous in all that thickly habited region in the neighborhood of the corner of Hester and Ludlow streets.

Ellas Omstead and his wife live and hare lived in 29 Ludlow street for the past six months, or ever since they reached this country from Russia. No one either in the tenement or in the neighborhood know Elias by name. They call him the suspender man that got arrested." When the Omsteads reached America they were not in very good health, nor did they have any money. Somehow or other, probably by Mra Omstend's endeavors with washboard, they got together a few cents and Elias went into the general notion business. That la, be bought a few shoe strings, a few cheap gaudy handkerchiefs, pooket comb or so, feW pairs of flowered suspenders, and some cheap brass ringe and pins.

With an investment of a dollar or two Ellas entered the trade AB potion dealer. He chose the corner of Hester and Ludlow streeta his trading place because he did not know Now York well and was timid about venturing far from home. So he took his stand there day after day with his tray suspended from his nook and sold what he could. When he made fifteen centa it was good day's work. and Elias and his wife were happy in the evening.

When be only sold seven or eight cente' worth. which more often happened. they thanked God in orthodox Hebrew fashion and were content. When he didn't sell anything he and bia wife still thanked God, but felt quite blue all the same. The wife meantime was not idle.

She went out to work every day and made fifty and sixty conte. They live on the third toor of 29. They do not occupy a whole apartment. They can alford only the back small place, with no widow in it. Here they cook and eat and Bleep and pray: they do a good deal of praying nt times.

The men looked savage and cursed the police. When the woman found out how much the fine was sho was stunned. Five dollars was more than she had ever had at one time.

She went to the little room above and sat in the darkness on the floor with her head covered. moaning and rocking to and fro. In the Ing she went to the police court. and, when the Justice found that she couldn't pay the fine for her husband he sent him to the Island. She stood outside and screamed and clung to him AR they were putting him in the van.

When they wrenched her away she fainted and fell to the street. When the Justice heard all this he remitted the Ane, and the woman. coming to. had the order for her husband's release thrust into ber hand. She wept agalu and started out to get him released, for he had reached the Island by that time.

Now she found that she had not a cent of money. 80 she went to the tenement house and told the women about it. And one of them canvassed the house from top to bottom to get the money to take her over and bring her busband back-20 cents.

The riotous demonstrations attendant upon the presentation of Thermidor" a Paris hare started a new agitation against the theatrical censorship in the French capital. This censorship was abolished with the fall of the empire but was revived by MacMahon In 1874. It has been long denounced AS AD inefficient and antiquated institution, and its complete incapaoity for fulfilling the expectations of the MacMahon has been conclusively shown, It is declared, by the scenes at the production of Thermidor," a plece which had been read and approved by all six censors. Antonio Proust. Minister of Arts under Gambetta.

leads the attack on the censorship, and in the Parliamentary the Commission of it appointed to consider a bill for abolition he has presented at length his reasons for opposing the continuance of the institution. He argues that the Board of Censors is directly responsible for all the obscenity prevalent as never before in the chantante of Paris. The cenBors Are kept so constantly oocupled with the reading of new plays, he says, that they find little time for watching the chantant performances, and even their sporadic efforts to cleanse these resorte are rendered futile by the ease with whiob a variety programme can be altered. Whon the police make au effort to stop immoral 80n25 and indecent dances, moreover, the proprietors of the variety shows full back on the position that they are under the supervision of the censors, and nothing can then be done. Proust's plan is to organize be a theatre to police force, from which men shall detailed attend in person all plays and variety shows in the city regularly.

A SPRING SUNDAY, Bat with Midsummer Temperature for Strollers In Winter Garments, The windows of the town were raised yesterday, and the house fly crawled out on the sill. basked in the radiance of the Run, and looked around smilingly for a bald- headed man to begin his spring campaign on. There were lots of bald men out, and it was so warm that some of them couldn't keep on the their hats.

Republican Merchants WIll Not Chip In for Campaign Fande Unless the Under. valestions Are Stopped The Chief Clerks All Secure-A Chinese War. The forthcoming reports of the Investigating Commission headed by Solicitor Hepburn are awaited with the deepest interest. Secretary Foster while in town last week said that he would take no serious steps in unravelling the Ous'om House tangle until all of these reports bad beon sent to Washington and thoroughly conned. Mr.

Hepburn says he believes all the reporta will be in Washington before May 1, A number of preliminary reports have already gone on. Mr. Hepburn says the scope of the Investigation has been extended from time to time by the Washington authorities. At frat Mr. Hepburn thought he and his associates would be in New York only a month, 48 they were directed to investigate the workings of the Appraiser's stores only, Since then the Treasury Department has forwarded special cases which called for the Commission's probInk.

and as these special casos have increased the importance of the investigation has Bolicitor Hepburn of course would not reveal the nature of the reports already sent to Washington. He deolined also to intimate in Any way the nature of the consultations between him, the Secretary. Senator Hiscock. and Collector Erbardt at the Fifth Avenue Hotel and the Sub- Treasury. It was said yesterday that these consultations had to do entirely with the Anal reports of Mr.

Hepburn and his coadjutors. It 18 believed that two and possibly three assistant ADpraisers will be removed if the Secretary decides to accept the evidence in the Vommission's reports. This evidence. it is claimed, refleots on the competency and industry of the assistant appraisers. It is believed.

though, that the greatest sweep will be among the examiners. For many years the examIners olamored that their salaries were too small, and incidentally scandals cropped out in the Appraiser's storos. The salaries of the examiners were advanced very materially about year but from the evidence before the Commission the efficiency of the stall has not Improved. As the salaries have been raised to the limits current in dry goods and commercial houses generally, there will now be no difficulty in filling vacancies, Pollticians of eminence behind the delinquents will not lift their hands to the Impending crash. They any very frankly that this would folly in view of the Hepburn reports.

It these reports so reflect on the 88sistant ape praisere and the examinore as to warrant the removals, there would be no sense in attemptink to interfere. It is declared that there is a good deal of dead wood, not only at the Appraiser's stores, but in all the departments attached to the Federal service at this port. It is stated that there are nearly one hundred employees who have long since outlived their usefulness. 10 the words of one olose to Secretary Foster: 'He 18 a hustler, and the business methods at the Appraiser' a stores must be vastly improved. They are antiquated and often obsolete, but old fogies continue to stick to the letter of the Treasury regardless of banged conditions and systems which call for discretion based upon broad common sense.

It looks as it the old fogies and the careless ones among the younger element would bare to go. Secretary Manning started the severe Investigations of the Appraiser's stores. Un assumIng the portfolio he was shocked at cortain discoveries. and he applied himself diligently to revolutionize the businesy methods at the stores. On his sickness and death the work was left as a heritage to Beoretary Fairchild, who faltered when he should have struck and struck hard.

Mr. Windom developed a more determined spirit. and Mr. Foster has demonstrated a determination (n the matter which all his friends will bring about solid results. Some of the heavier New York merchants balonging to the Republican party are sald to have announced that they will not be on band when the bat is passed around for campaign funds if the evils at the stores are not remedied.

The undervaluations. they add. of certain well-known importers. as shown by the deliberations of the Board of General ADpraisers, are suffiolent to rile" them. They cannot compete, they declare.

with these undervalued invoices, and unless the men who are charged with conniving at the tions are turned out of office and etraight business methods are adopted, the National Republican Campaign Committee need not come to them for funds when the battle is on. People close to the Secretary seem to think that the vexed chief clerk question, which has so greatly agitated the local G. U. P. machine, has been permanently settled in favor of keeping the places in Chinese shackles.

mAD eminent in Republican councils said: would not advise the President to take these places out of the oivil service rules. I am glad he has not regarded the Collector's petition concerning them. These men know their business. and I don't mind if they are Democrate. We cannot afford to tumble in outsiders and have the Custom House upset while new men are broken This is repeated merely to show the driit of sentiment among eminent Republicans, who believe that Secretary Tracy was right in his famous order concorning the big places in the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

Other Republicans of equal renown say, though, that there will come 8 day of reckoning. and that men in bigh places who bar the doors against the rank and die of the G. 0. P. will be struck by lightning.

More employees have been suspended in the last week or more than in montbe. It is reported that these employees thought to take advantage of the agitation over the reports of a change in the Collectorship and were absent without leave and otherwise negligent. The Collector, has come down upon them all, and even while sick at home he promptly snepended from duty all delinquents reported to him. No matter what might happen. the Collector seemed determined to maintain discipline and the efficiency of the force.

All hands will have a hearing, but it looks as if their conduct would meet with severe punishment. The frienda of Surveyor say that Mr. Gibbs's friends in the Surveyor's department are quaking.

A Comparison With the Export of Wheat Since 1088. The amount of four that is exported from this country is growing larger every year. According to the last report of the Produce Exchange, the export of flour has been in proportion to the export of wheat up to the year 1887, as the following figures show: Exporta from all United States ports to alt foreign countries 1893-4. 1884-5. 1695-d.

1886-7. Wheat (bu 70,848,012 84,653,714 57,768, 200 Flour 0, 10,648,145 179,241 11,518,440 It will be seen at a glance that the proportion of the export of flour to the export of wheat remalued about the same for these four years. For the following two years the table reads: 1887-8 Hour Wheat (bushels) .65, 784 261 do 48,414,129 So that in 1887-8, when we exported 65.000.000 bushels of wheat. we sent along with it more four than we did in the year when we exported nearly 102,000,000 bushels of wheat. and in 1888-9 the proportion WAS about 1 barrel of four to 5 bushels of wheat, while in 1884-5 1t was 1 barrel of flour to bushels of wheat.

People who are not familiar with the grain market may ask. Why not convert all our wheat into flour before exporting it? We have plenty of labor to do it and plenty of natural and artifloial power to do it with." True enougb. and here is the answer which a prominent member of the Produce Exchange made to this very question: In the first place, wheat is much onsier to handle than flour. The elevators can SCOOp up ship load of it in less than no time, while to load a cargo of flour often takes several days. Then again, In making flour Ret shorts and bran, which are very desirable as food for animals.

In Europe the people like to make their own flour in order to get these shorts and bran for their own use. Besides all this they usually mix our wheat with some of their own to make tho flour that they like best. For Instance, they will mix Russian wheat with our winter wheat or with our Northweat spring wheat. to get the color or the degree of strongth that they desire. Nevertheless, Americans are beginning to use the shorts and bran that fall off in the manufacture of flour themselves.

and this is one of the causes of the inorease in the manufacture and export of four. When the next report of the Produce Exchange Appears we shall be in a better position to tell just to what extent this increase has taken place. From Sept. 1. 1890.

to April 4, 1891. the figures showInk the amount exported from this country are: Wbeat .8,628,545 Flour These convinced are very that this encouraging proportion Agures. will and be I am maintained."

In a moment the passengers began to crowd out of the cabins to the forward deck. The singers were surrounded. When they had finished the second verse of the hymn some of the crowd joined in the chorus and then the muste could be heard from shore to shore. The devil beard it. accepted the challenge.

and chose five young men from the orowd to do battle for him. With his usual cunning he armed his agents. with ridicule. knowing well that that quickest destroy good that might be done by the hymns. The women began singing the third verse of the hymn.

One of the Agent cried Now!" and in deep bass voices the other agents sang: You've been drinking. you've been drinking, you've been drinking just now. Just now you've been drinking; you're been drinking just now. They sang it to the tune of "Come to Jesus just Such a shout of laughter went up from the crowd that the voices of all the singers wore drowned. When it died out a little the women could be heard singing.

How blessed to kneel at the Saviour's feet." They had won the first battle. The young men were silenced for a moment. Their effort, had winded them. They began singing again: I bought a chicken for 1lfty centa." The roles of the women could be heard over them. Satan changed the tune again, and his agents Your're a liar.

you're a liar," also to the tune of Come to Jean-." The women stuck to the bymn they were singing. The crowd was divided. The boat was in the slip when the devil made some one shout: Three cheers for Weak ones were given. while the women Glory to God In the So the battle ended. The women certainly had the advantage as well as the sympathy of the crowd, who admired their pluck.

In our day we have the Sprudel Spring brought to us in the form of Salt, which is obtained by evaporation from the waters of Carlsbad. The Natural CARLSBAD SPRUDEL SALT (powder form) is in no sense a mere purgative, but is an alterative and eliminative remedy which dissolves tenacious bile, allays irritation, and removes obstructions by aiding nature.
