Conkling" and Mrs. Sprague.
As so much has been said and written j
lately about Senator Cbnkliog and Mrs.
Sprague, says the Washington corres
pondent of the Louisville Courier-J ournal,
it may not be amiss to take some notice
of the gossip. Both lady and gentleman
are well known outside of Washington,
as well as in thi3 city, where they both
have passed many eventful years. One
writer on the Bubject says that it i3 a
Washington custom for husbatids to see
but little of their wives, and not openly
object to their wives having acknowl
edged cavaliers. To this I could say
that I have never, during my long resi
dence here, known of but four Instances.
Two of these were during Mr. Buchanan's
administration, and the other two of later
date.
Senator Sprague made one memorable
speech while he was in the Senate. As
j well as I remember, after so many years,
it was a speech against capitalists, and
in favor of labor. This was strange, as
he represented capital. I forget how he
lugged it in, but he denounced Washing
ton society, and said it was not safe for
a husband to leave home in the morning
without barring the door. The suddenly
developed jealousy of "Dolly," his wife,
Lady Gay Spanker, was not more start
ling than was the idea of Senator Sprague
insinuating anything about his wife. And
perhaps the lady is only a copy of the
dashing, fascinating Lady Gay, who was
so clever, so frolicsome, and who refused
to be trammeled by what the world says.
If such a man as Conkling bad as ambi
tious and fascinating a wife as Mr.
Sprague, the pair could conquer even
fate. Had Mrs. Sprague such a husband
as the Senator from New York, she would
now be holding the Highest position
which she has always coveted, and the
aim for which filled her heart during the
lifetime of her father. But Mr. Conk
ling has a wife with only lovely womanly
attributes. She has a pure woman's do
mestic traits of character. She and her
daughter, who is one of the sweetest
specimens of lovely young girlhood, keep
aloof from the wicked capital, and make
home pleasant for the man of the world
and disappointed politician, when,
wearied and disgusted, he retires to a
purer atmosphere. Mrs. Sprague's hus
band has more good sense than was at
tributed to him during the two terms he
served in the Senate. Then he was ac
counted a grossly intemperate man, and
his wife was justified by many in her
seeming obliviousness to the appendage.
Since the failure of the Sprague mills,
William Sprague, the ex-Senator, has de
voted himself to business. He and his
wife have appeared to be on the most
friendly terms. He visits her at Edge-
wood, and she makes calls upon him at
Providence, It. I. Mr. Chase purchased
Edgewood a few years before his death.
and built a modest dwelling on the estate
The situation is very beautiful, and com
mands a fine view of the city. Mrs
Sprague took Edgewood as her share of
her father's estate. After her husband's
failure, her establishment in this city was
broken up, and she moved her choicest
articles to Edgewood. When the board
of public works was improving the out
skirts 01 the city, Mrs. Sprague, or per
haps her father, wished the improvements
to extend to Edgewood, which was to be
classed as city property. No taxes have
ever been paid, and now they amount to
$ 30,000. This is an inconvenient sum to
pay in a. lump, and Mrs. Sprague has no
wish that her property should be contij
cated, as had been done for persons less
prominent. Now, why is a woman gift
ed with beauty, intellect, and the art of
fascinating, if they are not to be used in
self-defense in just such a case? The
Senator from New York is by no
means a champion of women. Ladies
may call at the capitol, and Bend
a card to him, Ibut in nine cases out
of ten he will refuse to see the lady
He will join Mrs. Sprague in a committee
room, in the gallery, ride off with tier in
her carriage, escort her about, engineer
her bill through the Senate, appear as
her counsel in a justice's court, and sue a
farmer for six months' rent due the
lady, go fishing at Great Falls, or do
anything else to win a smile or be per
mitted the honor of filling the position
i tit .
01 cuiei cavauer, ana tnus it has come
about that the great intimacy has at
tracted attention. Gossips bandy their
names, and neither seems to care two
straws what is said. They just keep on
the same way, ana Mr. Ciarkson Potter,
of New York, has introduced in the
House Committee the Senate bill for
the lady's relief from taxes, and every
body says they won't pay a cent if Mrs.
Sprague is not taxed like others, and the
lady is quietly enjoying the triumph of
power over the nation's Solons, and will
sail for Europe as soon as the bill for h
leliefisduly passed and tigned by t. e
President. And all this proves the necessity
of a woman understanding the art of man
aging men. It is easily done if the woman
has beauty, and has made this her
specialty. If Senator Conkling had ever
been known to peiform an act of kind
ness except from selfish motives, interest
in Mrs. Sprague's behalf would not have
excited any comment, but for so dig
nified and haughty a Senator to plead a
lady's suit in a justice court for a paltry
sum aroused people to question his mo
tives. The farmer says that Mrs. Sprague
owes him $250 for eggs, bjutter, and
poultry. Senator Conkling gained his
case, and now some Insignificant woman
should apply to him to undertake a sim
ilar case and see if he would be
to do so.

Some additional facts have been col
lected by 31. Amusat in support of the
well-known truth that war stimulates
the dormant propensities that find their
expression in crime. The rise in the
rate of crime sometimes accompanies,
but most certainly follows, a campaign.
In part this is due to the effect of war
upon the morals of soldiers. Much of it
arrises from that subtle imitative pro
pensity in mankind which leads to the
perpetration of acts of violence. The
force of example is fully as potent in ex
tending crime as in promoting virtue.
Many have a tendency to reproduce in their
own actions the crimes of others. Gen
erally it would seem that whatever
serves to break or temporarily suspend
the steady and regular operation of so
cial laws releases those restraints which
usually prevent many from crime. Sen
sational novels and plays, by perverting
notions of right and wrong, and by in
vesting with a pseudo-heroism charac
ters that deserve unqualified reprobation,
weaken very perceptibly the conservative
bonds of society,, and induce in the
minds of the young and inexperienced
the belief that a disregard of the dictates
of morality is a sign of manliness.

The Ethics of Advertising.
Officer Colgan, of the Tenth Precinct,
wiped his face with a red handkerchief
and gave a sigh of relief when he left
his prisoner at the bar of the Essex Mar
ket Police Court yesterday. "Judge,''
said he, "there's the prisoner and there's
the complainant; I can t make head nor
tail out of the case."
The complainant was a stout man with
a big black mustache, and was dressed
like a working man. His name was John
Laverty. The prisoner, David Woodward,
was tall and slim, and appeared to be
very much excited. "Judge, this is a
most infam" he began, when he was
interrupted.
"This man stole $18.75 belonging to
me," said Laverty."
"Stole !" shouted Woodward, more ex
cited than ever.
"Leastwise," continued Laverty, "ef he
didn't steal it, he spent it when he'd no
right to. Yer see, I lost my pocketbook
last Thursday, with $23.25 in it, and this
man found it."
"Yes," broke in Woodward, "and I
might have kept it, and no one be the
wiser; but I was too honest."
"Too much of a darned fool," said
Laverty; "and when he finds it what does
he do but advertise and advertise: Found
A pocketbook containing money ; the
owner can have it on proving property by

was. Well, he hands me the pocketbook,
and I opens it, and there are $4.50 and a
lot of receipts for advertising."
"Well," remarked Justice Bixby, "I
don't see that I can do anything."
" Vv hat right had he to have me arrest
ed?" cried Woodward. "Didn't I g
him the purse? He didn't even thank
me."
"Uan t anything oe done to such a
fool?" inquired Laverty. "Can't you lock
him up as a lunatic? "
Woodward was about to reply, when
Justice Bixby ordered the roundsman to
lead them both out of Court. Woodward
said to a World reporter that he intended
to sue Laverty for damages for "false im

The Hip Pocket. There is no dodg

wH not left to the discretion of a jury.
Whoever is convicted of carrying con
cealed weapons must suffer both fine and
imprisonment. There is no way of pay
ing out or dodging the penalty. Money
will not suffice, but the rich as well as
the poor must endure the punishment.

Frankfort Toeman.
Blythe's idea of preserving wood with
creosote-saturated steam has been very
successfully carried out. Ihe process is
very simrfle and efficient. The apparatus
consists of a high-pressure steam boiler,
another boiler containing the creosote,
with a vat filled with creosote, to supply
it by means of a pump; sheet-iron cylin
ders where the pieces of timber are in
jected, and a system of tubing connecting
the boilers and the cylinders. The steam
opens the pores of the wood, and the
creosote is left deposited in the cells.
When the wood comes out it is very plia
ble, and can be bent into any desired
shape, but it soon hardens and becomes
very rigid. Wood thus created very ef
fectually resists the. deteriorating influ
ence of moisture and of various insects
and worms.
It is a striking truth that he who would
benefit his fellow-man must walk by
faith, sowing his seed in the morning, and
in the evening withholding not his hand
knowing that in God's good time the
harvest shall spring tip and ripen; if not
for himself yet for others, who, as they
bind the full sheaves and gather in the
heavy clusters, may, perchance, remem
ber him with gratitude and set up stones
of memorial on the fields of his toil and
sacrifice. Whittier.

SAJf Francisco, March 23, 1373.
To the Public:
I have been, ever since iny childhood, subject to
attacks of acute earache, followed by long continued
deafness and throat disease, the former usually last
lng two or three days, and the two latter a month and
sometimes more. During my stay in this city, nnder
such an attack, I sought the advice of DK. Q. VAN
HUMMEL, of 103 Montgomery street, and was al
most instantly relieved of the pain, and of the deaf
ness no trace remained after the lapse of a week. This
I look upon as a most remarkable cure, considering
the severity of the attack, and that I have been clirou
lcally subject to them.

The compressed coffee Is in no sense an extract or preparation from coffee, but simply the heal rfifTre
carefully selected, roasted, ground and compressed after a formula which at once fixes ami permanently re
tains all its exhilarating and refreshing qualities, among which are calfeone (the volatile oil), and the ra"lle!i
acid (or astringent property) which lose nearly if not quite all their virtues before they reach the table of
the consumer, in any or the old methods of preparing coll'ee tor immediate ue. This fact is well understood
by experienced eotlee men. and to supply the unavoidable delli:iencie, chiccory. stale bread, rye. certain
barks and other foreign substances have been added, in the way of adulteration, until now the people scarce
ly kuow what pure collee is. Aud with the belief that dealers and the lnst class of consumers will welcome
and sustain me in my efforts to supply a pure, wholesome and delicious article, I now oiler it direct to the
public, at the same price as the various kinds of prepared cotfee.
This collee is an equal mixture of the very best Java and Costa Rica, and Is put up In handsome style
tinder the brand of "MOCHA QUALITY"," and those who once ust it will call for no other. It is pure, rich
delicious and wholesome. It never fails to give satisfaction when properly prepared. It is healthful It
saves money. It is put up In convenient packages for use.

Having given your Compressed Coffee a thorough
trial, with the happiest resuts, I would say that, in
richness and delic:icy of flavor. It surpasses anything
we have ever used. It Is cheaper than other eotlee
because of its greater strength and its extraordinary
keeping qualities, which would make it Very desira
ble to small consumers. While the Compressed Cotfee
can be had we shall use no other.
Respectfully, P. Bkamisit,

Mr. A. P. Adam:
Having lieen a lover and user of coffee for the past
twenty years, and bavin.; tried neaMy everything in
the line of collee during that time, I can safely say
that I consider your eotlee superior to any that I have
ever used: there Is a delicacy of flavor and richness
i your cotTee that I have never been aide M obtain in
other brands of collee. Yours, respectfully.
