Cleveland, O , June 15. — Bishop
Hartman last evening took a step which
will probably stop the turbulence in the
Polish parish of St. Stanislaus caused by
the recent change of priests. He ap-
peared in the church at vespers service
and in a short and vigorous address ex-
communicated those who had partici-
pated in the attacks upon Father Rosin-
iski until they have publicly repented of
their sin. He scored the turbulent Poles
unmercifully and they appear now to be
thoroughly cowed.

How the Englishman Likes His Game.
One fad 1 noticed among the English
£ am unable to express my contempt for.
The Britisher, you know, is nothing if
not outre, and this is as true of his eat-
ing as others of his affairs. What would
you think of the restaurant or hotel that
would serve you a duck or other bird
that smelled like a dead mule that the
buzzards wouldn’t eat? And yet that’s
the way the Englishman has his bird
served, and he is bull headed enough to
swear that he loves game meat only
when it is tainted. I hope that form of
Anglomania will never run riot in thia
country.—Interview in St. Louis Globe-
Democrat.

About 150 couples occupied the floor,

pleasant affair.

A GOLD MEDAL,
It is not generally known that a voting
contest has been in progress in this city
for some time past to ascertain as to
which of the numerous soda clerks is the
most popular. This contest, which was
for a gold medal, has now come to a
close, and resulted in that honor and
prize being conferred upon “handsome”
Jack Ross, who manipulates the opera
house drug store fountain. His majority
was 410. Mr. Ross desires, through
Evening Tribune, to thank his many7
friends for their generous support.
If you want to buy a sewing machine
don’t buy it from the first canvasser that
comes along and telle you that his par-
ticular machine is the best. He has no
other and will make you all sorts of
promises so as to sell you and in six
months will be out of town. Canvassers
make big commissions and you are the
one who pay them. Get your machine
from a reliable dealer, where you can
choose any one that you like and if that
does not suit you can exchange it for
another. You will get a better machine
for less money, and if you have any
complaints to make I will be right here,
as I have been for the last t-.velve years,
ready and anxious to please my cus-
tomers. 1 can sell you machines from
$5 to $65 on installments of $1 per week,
and will make a liberal reduction for
cash. E. Dulitz. Center and Postoffice.
The Pipe Will Smoke and the Fumes
Arise From Now On.
Hap Sing is one of the moon-eyed
children of the Flowery Kingdom. He
keeps a laundry on Postoffice street near
Tremont, and, like Bret Harte’s Ah
Sing, is fond of a little game of chance.
Now and then it occurs to him to
patronize “Hebrew Mary,” known to all
Galveston as the mascot of the Louisiana
and Little Louisiana Lottery companies,
and this time he held a full hand, which,
in the parlance of one of the aidermen,
means that he got away with the jack-
pot.
No. 56,666—one five and the balance
sixes—drew the capital prize and Hap
Sing held one-half ticket in the lesser
Louisiana, thus being enriched to the
tune of $3750. The ticket is no longer
in his blouse pocket, but the American
National bank holds it for collection, and
Hap Sing is now singing and rejoicing
and speculating on the small size of the
shoes he will have to buy for his future
bride, who must be an almond-eyed
beauty direct from Canton and as petite
as they make them on the shores of the
Yang-tse-Kiang. He is prepared to pay
$2000 for her, and even then will have
$1750 left with which to buy her a ham-
mock, a rattan chair and all the rice she
can eat for the next ten years. A lucky
fellow is he, Hap Sing.
Bill Reppen says that all this luck
came from being opposite to him, while
Billy Houlahan contends that it was be-
cause the laundry is located where his
paint shop used to be in former years.
Rents on Postoffice street will advance
within the next few days.

ing to Commodore Grothgar has been

They Were Made Harmless Inside of
Five Minutes.
Officer Henry Bee is becoming known
as the dog-killer. Unlike “Jack the
Lion Killer,” he dislikes the job, but be-
ing an officer of unswerving loyalty to
duty, he never hesitates to go when
called upon to perform a disagreeable
task.
Yesterday the same dog that bit a col-
ored child so severely some five or six
months ago that it had to be removed to
the Sealy hospital, again attacked an-
other child at the corner of Forty-fifth
and avenue P and lacerated its arm and
leg in a horrible manner. Officer Bee
was called upon to dispatch the cur to a
place where it would be perfectly harm-
less. After doing so he found another
vicious brute in the same yard, and it,
too, went by the pistol route.
As soon as these two acts of mercy
had been performed a neighbor living
next door asked the officer to come and
kill his dog, to which a ready assent
was given, thus making three dogs in
one day. It is hoped that the good work
may continue.
NO INTERRUPTION TO TRAVEL.
Mr. M. Naumann, the local ticket
agent of the Santa Fe and Southern Pa-
cific railroads, is in receipt of a tele-
gram from Mr. W. C. Watson, general
passenger agent of the latter road, dated
at New Orleans, in which Mr. Watson
states that there is positively no inter-
ruption to travel via that city on account
of washouts, but that all trains are run-
ning on schedule time. The regular
sleeper from New Orleans arrived this
morning on schedule time without trans-
fer and will leave here this evening as
usual.
How He Caine to Write a Book.
How Professor E. A. Freeman came
to be the author of the famous work on
the Norman Conquest is curiously in-
teresting to those taking part in com-
petitions. That subject was selected
for an English prize essay at Oxford,
but the essay that he sent in did not
win. He went on studying the matter,
wrote the foregoing standard book and
was, in consequence, afterward elected
by the university to the lucrative post
of professor of history. ’

A Good Man Gone to His Eternal Re-

<’>f Hs spect to His Memory.
Edward O’Connor Maclnerney is dead.
One of Galveston’s most prominent
citizens, a life so pure and so honorable
that it may well serve as an example to
rising generations, has passed away. A
conspicuous figure will be missed at the
ciiy hall; the rich and the poor alike
will count one friend less, and a young
widow and four fatherless children are
bowed in grief.
The sad event, which was foreshadowed
several days ago when he returned from
Sour Lake without having found relief
from his ailment, occurred about 11.30
o’clock last night, the immediate cause
being attributed to paralysis of the brain.
All that the best medical skill cou'd do
was attempted, but an allwise Providence
willed that his days should be numbered
short, and that his glass should run out
before the midnight hour.
Despite the fact that death came slow-
ly and peacefully, and that his family
had been for several days face to face
with the dread reality, the blow fell on
them with a crushing force. Many
friends had called during the day and
evening to inquire as to his condition,
and his spiritual advisers stayed by his
side until shortly before the soul de-
parted on its celestial flight. •
brief sketch of his life.
Edward O’Connor Maclnerney was
born in Ireland in 1841, and was conse-
quently in his 51st year at the time of
his death. He received a first-class uni-
versity education in his native land.
When quite a young man he went to
Italy and joined the papal zouaves, tak-
ing part in the conflict between Gari-
baldi and the pope. He came to this
city in 1871, where he has since resided,
He was in charge of the United States
meteorological bureau for fourteen years.
He severed his codnection with that po-
sition in 1875 to accept the city clerkship
under Mayor Fulton, who had been
elected mayor for the first time.
During the Cleveland administration
he filled the position of cashier in the
custom house under Collector C. C.
Sweeney. He resigned that position in
1889 to accept that of city collector,
which he held at the time of his death,
having been honored with a unanimous
re-election by the present city council.
He was of a kindly nature and disposi-
tion, devoted fondly to his home, his
wife and children, on whom he lavished
the affections which only the loving
husband and fond father can feel.
He .married, in 1874, Miss Etta Buck-
ley, sister of D. J. Buckley, the present
city clerk, who, with four children (two
boys and two girls), the eldest 14 and
the youngest 5 years, survive him. His
mother, three brothers and two sisters
still reside in Ireland and another
brother in Australia.
As an outward sign of the love and
esteem in which the deceased was held
by his associates in the municipal
government the city hall is today draped
in deep mourning and its flag is flying at
half mast.
All the officials, the entire police and
fire department, the Washington Guards
of which he was one of the early mem-
bers and branches 166, 522 and 531,
Catholic Knights of America will turn
out at his funeral which takes place at
10 o’clock tomorrow morning from the
family residence on Church street, be-
tween Sixteenth and Seventeenth.
Mayor Fulton w7ho is' at Sour Lake
has been telegraphed for and will be on
hand tonight or early tomorrow morn-
ing and Acting Mayor Allen has con-
cluded to adjourn tonight’s council meet-
ing out of respect to the deceased.
Thus passes from the theater of
worldly strife and troubles on-' of Gal-
veston’s noblest citizens, a man of
strong personal magnetism, a noble and
generous spirit, an unostentatious gen-
tleman and a true and kind hearted
friend to all with whom he has come in
contact.
ME. BLOKE’S “SCOOP.”
When Mark Twain got his first
position as sub-editor, his cronies
' used to swell his record by giving
him exclusive news. One night his
friend Bloke brought in an account
of a fatal mash-up, and Mark,
tickled with the “scoop,” sent it up
without reading it. Here it is as it
appeared in The Californian:
Distressing Accident—Last evening,
about 6 o’clock, as Mr.William Schuyler,
an old and respectable citizen of South
Paik, was leaving his residence to go
down town, as has been bis usual custom
for many years, with the exception oi
only a short interval in the spring of
1850, during which he was confined to
his bed by injuries receivedin attempt-
ing to stop a runaway horse by thought-
lessly placing himself in its way and
throwing up bis hands and shouting,
which if he had done so even a single
moment sooner, must inevitably have
frightened the animal still more instead
of checking its speed, although disastrous
enough to himself as it was, and ren-
dered more melancholy and distressing
by reason of the presence of his wife’s
mother, who was there and saw the sad
occurrence, notwithstanding it is at least
likely, though not necessarily so, that
she should be reconnoitering in another
direction when incidents occur, not being
vivacious and on the look out, as a gen-
eral thing, but even the reverse, as her
Own mother is said to have stated, who
is no more, but died in the full hope of a
glorious resurrection, upwards of three
years ago, aged eighty-six, being a Chris-
tian woman and without gui’e, as it
were, and without property, in; conse-
quence of the lire of 1349, which de-
stroyed every single thing she had in the
world. But such is life ! Let us all take
warning by this solemn occurrence, and
let us conduct ourselves that when we
come to die we can do it. Let us place
our hands on our heart and say with
earnestness and sincerity that from this
day forth we will beware of the intoxi-
cating bowl.
All day the people read that
“item,” scratched their heads and
wondered what happened to good
Mr. Schuyler. The chief editor-
kicked the furniture and swore and
Mark took to the woods.
Mr. Bloke, you see, got mixed
and forgot what he was driving at.
His toddy evidently had a bad
effect on him, but if he had bought
his wines and liquors of B. A. Cook,
2525 and 2527 Market street, this
never would have happened.

New York, June 15.—Congressman
William 0. P. Breckenridge, orator < f
the World’s Fair, lias been chosen lo
present Cleveland’s name at the national
convention, and one of New Jersey’s
delegates as first seconder.
A Wilmington dispatch says: Bayard
will nominate Senator Gray. The ex-
secretary is an ardent Cleveland man,
but fears that his old chief will not be
able to secure the nomination, and that
if he does he may be beaten.
California Uncertain,
Southern Afternoon Press.
San Francisco, June 15.—California’s
national delegates leave today. There
is much dissension as the delegation is
divided between Cleveland and Hill
and the Cleveland men claim that the
latter is conspiring to break the unit
rule adopted by the state convention.
One of the Cleveland delegates refused
to go on account of the election of a
doubtful man as chairman of the delega-
tion. None can predict how the vote
will be cast.
The Colby, a Cigar Shaped Steamer,
Arrives in Galveston.
The most remarkable boat that ever
put into this port is the Colby a cigar
shaped craft that might resemble Jules
Vernes wonderful “Nautilus” that sail-
ed twenty thousand leagues under the
sea. The Colby can sail any where over
the sea at a rate varying from 12 io 15
miles an hour and is likely to be the
leader in a movement revolulioniziiig
sea travel. Travelling with her is Mr.
Burnham a gentleman representing the
Port Tampa Mail, Florida, where the
Colby put in and discharged a part of
her cargo of coal. A reporter met him
at the boat this morning where a large
number of curiosity seekers were throng-
ing there to inspect her. Mr. Burnham
is going with the steamer as far as Bos-
ton in order to inspect her workings
while en route and write a full descrip-
tion of her from the opportunity he will
have had to judge. In his opinion she
is only the first of many boats of like
nature to foliow, experience already
justifying the experiment.
The advantage of such a boat for
travel on the gulf coast is apparent, as
she draws only about fifteen feet when
loaded to the utmost. The captain says
she will weather the strongest gales, and
add to this that she can be built and run
cheaper than others, there are two more
arguments in her favor.
Lying at the west end of Mallory
wharf, as you approach the Colby looks
like a long cigar, and you are aston-
ished on boarding her to find that she
carries as mnch as she does in her hold
and on the decks—if you can call the
slight curvature of the iron-backed craft
decks.
A company is building these steamers
at West Supeiior, Wis. The Colby and
another are plying across salt water;
the rest of the kind are confining them-
selves to travel on the great lakes. A
passenger boat is to be built to travel
from Chicago to Mackinaw straits and
back in an incredibly short space of
time.
