He claims that Kemmler is either demented or pretends to be, and warden Dnrston has undoubtedly laid the matter be fore governor Hill, and suggesting the propriety of inquiry into Kemmler's mental condition.

The warden will not return to Auburn un til to-morrow evening at the very earli est, "lie could not get the invitations orTbefoie Sunday night This would mean the execution cannot take place 1 heroic Wednesday, and also suggests ' :t lurking suspicion in She warden's mind that it will not take place at all. 5' " I'ESET'r I SO SI A CII I NslS.

Salvador De mendonoe, Brazilian delegate to the international American conference, discusses the reciprocity in this even ing's Post. He says: "Brazil alone can supply the United States with all the tropical articles required" by this market. It can increase the produc tion of hiigar within five years to 1.S00.000 tons, while it could supiuy sill the coffee, sugar, rubber, hides, etc , consumed in the United State3.

The Kiinlm of Bis; Hoasp. An ideal of earthly comfort, so com mon that every reader must liave seen it, is to get a house so big that it is burdensome to maintain, and fill it up so fall of jimcracks that it is a con stant occupation to keep it in order. Then, when the expense of living in it is so great that you can't afford to go away and rest from the burden of it, the situation is complete and boarding houses and cemeteries begin to yawn for you. How many Americans, do you suppose, out of the droves that ilock aunually to Europe, are running away from opprcsive houses? When nature undertakes to provide a house, it fits tho occupant Animals, who build by instinct, build only what they need, but man's bnilding instinct, if it gels a chance to spread itself at all, is boundless, just as all his instincts are. For it is man's peculiarity that nature has filled him with impulses to do things and left it to his discretion when to stop. She never tells him when he has finished. And perhaps we ought not to be surprised that in so many cases it happens that ho doesn't know, but just goes ahead as long as the materials last If another man tries to oppress him he understands that and fights to the death and sacrifices all he has rather than submit; but the tyranny of those things'are so subtle, so gradual in its approach, and come3 o masked with seeming benefits that it has him hope lessley bound before he suspects his f el tere.

Nicolletti is a ward politician and elected delegate. The offensive article reads as fol fel fol eows: If there is a delegate to the San Jose convention who has served a term in San Quentin, is it not right that tho Hernia should suller greatly and should feel that the party has suf fered an intolerable injury at the ap pearance of this man's name among the delegates who represent a great party and a patriotic and original idea?

Mnltitflles of Msl Protestants Organize! Against It, I'TjEHOVU TO illllTlSU TtOCTJllXE Copyright lt90 by the United Press. London, Aug. 2. No less a person than the very Rev. Dr. Smyley, dean of Dcrry, is authority for the state ment, that not less than 75,000 protes tant Irishmen are organized, prepared to resist by forco of arms, the estab lishment of home rule in Ireland, should home rule follow the return of Gladstone to power, whenever, it ever, he may return. "The protestauts of Ireland" said the reverend gentleman, "are satisfied to have Ireland remain as it is, under the rule of the British imperial parli ament In the event of any change to the so called homo rule, we would look for no mercy and ask for none. The protestants are prepared to fight in their own defense and will never submit to the rule of the Roman Catholic parliament in Dublin. We of the north, came over to Ireland with the solemn pledgo that the country (should always remain under British rules, and any change in the way of separation would be a violation of that pledge, which would justify us in defending onrselves by any and every means at our command." The Fell Disease. Consumption has followed the English-speaking race wherever it ha3 goru?. Absent for a century after tho first settlement of this conntry, it ap peared hereos it has in every other colony of tho English race, and its ravages only cease when it ha3 weeded out those open to its assault In ten years, ending in 18S5, 26,180 persons died of it in this city and its yearly deaths in the country reach 125,000. Tho larger proportion of these are men the solitary advantage civilized woman obtains from the corset, spring ing from the necessity it lays on her of breathing with the tips of her lungs and keeping these nests of tho disease well aerated.

Tho latest revelation is that France pays $40,000 out of the public fund to subsidize newspapers for the support of the government. Sfir Praise. Self praise is no reconfmendatiou, but there are times when one must permit a person to toll the truth about himself. When what he says is supported by the testimony of others no reasonable man will doubt his word. Now, to say that Aixcock's Ponous Plastebs are the only genuine and reliable porous plasters made is not sel f praise in the slightest de gree. They have stood tho test for over thirty years, and in proof of their merits it is only necessary to call atention to tho cures they have effected and to the v olnntary testimonials of those who have used them.

Harry and his jag have left the city. Wm. A. Brady has returned to New York to superintend arrangements for the production of Hart Jackson's spectacular melodrama, "The Bottom of the Sen," which is to be given a magnificent presentation at the New York Grand opera house early in the season. R. E. Graham, tho well-known comedian, who will next year tour in The Sea King," has t pretty place on Staten island, where he amuses him self during the warm months by farm ing. During the evening he works on a now opera which will be finished by aeptemoer. Webber,s "Uncle Tom's Cabin" Co., which begins its tour at Niblo's Gar den next season, will be the best equipped or any tne u. x. u. com panies over seen, and the good old play, which has earned millions of dollars for its managers during the last twenty-eight years, never had so strong a cast Onr Mary dear has left us, and crossed tho raging main; Shall we ever, ever seo her fair sweet face again? Let us hope that she'll be happy with the husband that 8he won. And that BOme day he'll como back again with Mary And-her-son. Miss AdaDeavas, who will -next sea son tour the country in "Two Old Cronies," is one of the most versatile actress' on tho stage. She is a lithe, 350 feet, $40 to HE Austin House, Seaside, graceful and dainty little figure, with a pretty girlish face that keeps her looking about twenty years old all the time. Her dancing challenges com parison with the best in her line, and she is an excellent vocalist Great activity prevails in the offices of Messrs. Locke & Davis just now, preparatory to sending out the Emma Juch Grand English Opera company which is to open its -season at the Broadway theatre, Denver, August 18. This will be one of the largest organiz ations of the kind ever seen m this country since the original American Opera company. It comprises a com pany of one hundred and twenty-five people, principals ana cnorus, oesiaes an orchestra of fifty, and all the neces sary scenery and costumes and equip ments for the presentation of a reper toire or twenty oe tho standard operas. One of the theatrical novelties of the season will be the "TJ. S. Mail," a musical, satirical farce -comedy from the pen of George C. Jenks.a brilliant journalist of tPittsburg. Last season the "U. S. Mail" had an experimental run, uuu muue u (usance nib in ajouis- ville, Pitsburg and a number of Ohio and Pennsylvania towns. This sea son it has been materially improved, and the production in Philadelphia on September 1st, at the Chestnut Street Theater, promises to be a local event of considerable importance. "John Money Maker," a fourth-class postmaster, to be played by the in imitable Samuel Reed, is a clever and good-nnmored burlesque of postmaster-general Wanamaker. The "bargain counter" of the famous Philadelphia establishment will be seen on the stage in a more or less ex agerated form. Actresses, as a rule, don't display any amount of dcrimination in the selection of summer resorts. You might suppose that emotional actresses would love tho seclusion of tho moun tains, that ingenues would affect tho babbling brooks and that soubrettes would love the seaside hotels. It isn't bo, however; the tastes and ways of tuo mstnonic vacationists are uncer tain. There's no fixed side; Maggie Mitchell and Minnie Palmer go to Long Branch, and Minnie Seligman to Long Beach.

May Brook lyn is at Long Branch and Florence Ashbrooke and Isabella Coo in New York. George Stanley, the bright and clever dialect comedian, says that hereafter he will be tempted to re frain from exerting himself in behalf of his fellow beings. I was in his company, writes a correspondent, strolling along one of the quiet streets of St. Louis; darkness had set in, and with no gleaming electrio light on this chosen path of our evening walk, made it somewhat difficult to distin guish rightly any object a few paces distant. While slowly walking along, engaged in interesting conversation, a horse and wagon were see approach ing at a medium pace. When di rectly opposite, I was startled at ueorge giving an unearthly yell, and at the same instant start in wild pur suit of tho wagon, yelling at the top of his voice, "Hold on, you villain! Stop you scoundrel! Look out he'll kill you murder," and brand ishing his cane like a lu natic. The dnver stopped his horse ;just then Stanley yelled "look out, hell strike you from behind." The man turned quickly, only to pre- ceive an Indian cigar sign, posing in an attitude of sinking his tomahawk in the head of an imaginary foe. The expressman was carting it to its pur chaser and tho figure had worked up directly m the rear of the dnver,whioh really did make it look like a most murderous assaidt The man burst out with a laugh as he said, "I'm much obliged to you, sir, but he can't hurt ma; it's only a wooden man." George muttered something about having a wooden head, then came limping back with a half broken toe, and a bruised knee which he got in a fall, trying to prevent a murder. I was enjoying a good laugh at his expense, when he took me confidentially by the arm and said: "Charlie, say nothing about this and I'll stand a bottle." Bnt the joko is too good to keep.

JPXAIK A2TD STUAIGMTFOJtWAMU President Harrison, on July 29th, sent tho following message to con cen gress: To the senate and house of repre sentatives: The recent attempt to se cure a charter from North Dakota for a lottery company, pending an effort to obtain from the state of. Louisiana a renewal of the charter of the Louisi ana state lottery, and the establish ment of one or more lottery companies at Mexican towns near our border, have served the good purpose of call ing public attention to an evil of vast proportions. If the baneful effects' of lotteries were confined to the states that give companies corporate powers and license to conduct business, the cinzens oe omer states, Deing power less to apply legal remedies, might clear themselves of responsibility by the use of such moral agencies a3 were within their reaoh. But tho case is not so. The people of all the states are debauched and defrauded. The vast sums of money offered to states for charters are drawn from the peo ple of the United States, and the gov ernment, through the mail system, is made an effective and profitable medium of intercourse between the lottery company and its victims. The use of the mails is quite as essential to the companies as a state license. It would be practically impossible for the companies to exist if the public mails were once effectually closed against these companies, and the pros titution of an agency only intended to serve the purposes of legitimate trade and decent social intercourse stopped. "It is not necessary, I am sure, for me to attempt to portray the robbery of the poor and the widespread cor ruption of public and private morals which are necessary incidents of these lottery systems.
