New Yokk, Jan. IS. CliBuncey M.
Depew was elected president of the Re
publican club of New York at a meeting
of that organization last night. In ac
centing the presidency Mr. Depew said:
"The conditions upon this annunl
meeting make my elevation to a posi
tion of president of the club one of pe
culiar significance and gratification. The
differences in our party are more acute
and intense than they have been in a
quarter of.a century. They found ex
pression at the polls nt the last election,
and are culminating in hostile organira
ti m. The Republicans of New York
are not alone in these troubles. They
are found in Ohio, Maryland and other
states. All these warring elements are
conspicuously and ably represented in
our duo. That theyt have united and
unanimously elected me president is nt
once a distinction nnd imposes a creat
responsibility. It is full of suggestions
and prophetic promises for happier
times in the future. It demonstrates
that Republicans can get together, and
when events are sufficiently marked
they will discover a method of party
unity and party harmony."
Mr. Depew spoke on the growing in
fluence of clubs and of the increasing
tendency of statesmen to come to New
York to get in touch with the great life
of the country, and then spoke of the
future of the club, saying:
"Our Democratic friends are building
a club whose avowed intention is to have
New York to control the Democratic par
ty in state and country. Our purpose
ii. this club should be broader. We
should have in the club the Intelligent
representative of theKepublican opinion
of the whole country ; Republican opin
ion crystallzing in the judgment, and
discussion of Republicans from every
part of the country.
"Our members should be numbered
by the thousands ; should be limited
only by the boundaries ot the republic
of the United States, aud our object
should be to maintain a home where
the (enator or the congressman, the bus
liiths man, the lawyer, the artisan, the
labor-leader from all over the country
can find hospitality aud congenial minds,
and our club Hhould be known as the
National Republican Club.

When the flames were all but out, the

The board of supervisors have granted
the Empire Club a permit for a boxing
show some time next month. Applica
tions from several other clubs were be
fore the boare, but all of them were re
jected. The Empire Club will bring off a 20
round go between Joe Choynski and Tut
Ryan, the Australian. The preliminary
bout will be between Tom Lansing and
Henry Baker.
The managers of the clubs which have
been left out in the cold are somewhat
at a loss to understand why their appli
cations should have been rejected and
the Empire Club tavored. The Occi
dental Club made application for a 20
rouud contest between Ptjter Maher and
Peter Jackson, but they were unsuccess
ful. SuinethlUE tu Kuow.
It may be worth something to know
that the very oeet medicine for restoring
the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by
giving tone to the nerve centers in the
stomach, gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys, and aids these organs in
throwing ofl impurities in the blood.
Electric Bitters improves the appetite,
aids digeetion, nnd is pronounced by
those who have tried it as the very best
blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try it.

J "That hat pin," said n young1 woman
t on tlie elevated, rw she nnmnged her
I hcwlpear, reports the Chiig Times
j Herald, "lias In-en steeped in gore!"
I "How awful!" whisperetl her friend,
j "Vua it employed on n burglar?"
i "No; on a crowder."
I "A what?"
j "A crowder is a creature who is po
I puliurly o Chicago product. I ecrtnin-
ly never met hhn in nny other city.
He is the man who petsinto near where
every seat is occupied ami crowds him
fielf into the merwt scrap of room bc
Uveen two persons; generally two wom
en, who dare not reaont his imjerti
nonce. Then he coolly reads n news
paper." "I've met the specimen often, but
whnt can you do?" inquired the friend.
"Well." snid the athletic young wom
an, "if I had been a mnn I would have
'bounced' liim from the ear. But in thai
pii.e he would not have crowded. I dare
say I looked ns meek as. Moses, but T
had a scheme to pet even nnd I worked
it. I took out my hat pin nnd gave Mr.
Crowder n jab."
"Did he jump?"
"Not at first , so I jabbed again. The

the vicious thing.
DIED WITH HIS CHUM.
A Ifoble Conception of a Soldier's
Dot)- to Ilia Friend.
In the reminiscences of Gen. Sir
Evelyn Wood, himself a brave English
f.oldier, a touching instance of courage
and self-sacrifice is given, says an ex
change. One June day in ls5 a de
tachment of English marines was cross
ing the Woronzow rood under fire from
the Russian batteries. All of the men
leached -shelter in the trenches except
a seanmn, John Blewitt. As he was
running a terrific roar was heard. His
mates knew the voice of a 'huge can
non, the terror of the army, and
yelled:
"Look out! It is Whistling Dick!"
Butat the moment Blewitt wasstruck
by tlie enormous mass of iron on the
knees nnd thrown to the ground. He
called to his special chum:
"Oh, Welch, save me!"
The fuse wos hissing, but Stephen
Welch ran out of the trenches and,
F-izing the great shell, tried to roll it
off of his comrade.
It exploded with such terrific force
that not an atom of the bodies of
Blewitt or Welch was found. Even in
that time, when each hour Imd its ex
citement, this deed of heroism stirml
the whole English army. One of the
officers searched out Welch's old moth
er in her poor home and undertook her
support while she lived, and the story
of his death heljel Us comrades to
nobler conceptions of a soldier's duty.
FOUR-LEGGED TRADERS.

There is a mouse in Florida locally
known an the trading mouse. It In com
monly a woods mouse, but it quickly
adapts ithelf to human habitation. A.
colony of such mice carried two bushels
of shelled beans ,')0 feet during six
nights recently nnd replaced, the leans
v, ith seed poils of a wciil. Jewelry, too,
has lx'i'ii taken by these little traders,
says the New York Sun. One woman on
the east coast of Florida at an Indian
river winter resort found a number of
reed instead of a iir of earrings that
kic had left on the bureau. A search in
the place where, the seeds had bwm
taken disclosed the earrings.
A man who had n lox of jxki'r chips
in his room in an oiicn-toppcd box was
surprised to find in their stead a string
of prayer lends, a small crucifix, and a
numlcrof shells. Hestuited an investi
gation immediately. A priest wlio hiul
roomed m ar by was equally puzzled by
finding the eolorwl poker chips in his
room.
It Is generally U'lleveil that the trad
ing mouse learns its curious ways by
robbing squirrels or blue jays of nut
