The Big Blaine Parade Paradea Wi.hout Big Blaine-The Gathered Faithft.l of the G. O. P. March up the Street and then March Down Again. NEw YORK, August 9.-All day long the new Inman liner, the City of New York, with Mr. James G. Blaine on board, had not yet come within range of the telescope in the hands of the lookout on the Island. She was ex pected, as she has been for the last day and a half, but no one west of Fire Island caught a glimpse of her. "Deserted" is the only word that would adequately describe the Repub lican club headquarters on West Twenty-Fifth street this morning. The sorrowing committeemen said it was too bad that afer all preparations the grand Blaine reception should end thus. Although scheduled to leave prompt ly at 7 o'clock, the Sani Sloan and its load of Blaine welcomers did not leave pier 20 till 8 o'clock this morning. Then it went down the bay without any authentic news of the City of New York. The Sloan swung round to the end of the pier at 20 minutes to 7 and was taken possession of by the waiting crowd. The Chicago club's boat was there to keep her company. Among the first to board the Sloan was Mrs A. M. Sullivan, followed by a party of ladies, escorted by James G. Blaine, Jr., and Richard C. Keren, of St. Louis. rhe party included Mrs. A. L. Conger, wife of Ohio's national com mnitteeman; Mrs. Ralph Trautman, of New York, Miss Catherine Krens, of St. Louis, and Mrs. James G. Blaine, Jr.. Murat Halstead and Walker Blaine, joined the ladies on the after portion of the upper deck. The Bal timore Light Infantry band, which took the place of Cappa's on the Sloan. Members of the Republican national executive committee came early and took a good position forward. Walker Blaine divided his attention between them and the ladies. The Union League Club had a delegation on board. When the boat at five minutes to 8 drew away from the pier, about 500 people were on board. Down at the battery the people crowded along the sea wall from early morning in a wild enthusiasm to get a free peep at Blaine before he landed on his native heath once more. All eyes were rigidly fixed upon the southern horizon, where the smokestacks of the City of New York were expected at any moment to herald the arrival of the Plumed Knight of Maine. Politicians, nurses, polic,einen and babies mingled in harmonious con fusion, Sd_ laid down the la-, about Blaine and steamboats, and the perils of the Atlantic coast, the same as if they knew all about what they talked about. As the hours rolled by the enthusi asm increased, rather than diminished. It was really wicked, as sonic one suggested to -night, that the giant Blaine parade should be fired off with out the inspising presence of the mag netic man from M1aine. Tugs scoured the lower bay all day, but no City of New York and no Blaine. Evidently an accident has happened to the New York's rnachinery, or she would have appeared. Though it was with misgivings, the great Blanc parade I. marched past the reviewing stand on Fifth avenue and Twenty-four+h street, wildly cheered the assembled notables a hd disbanded. HE ARRIVEs AT LAST. NEW YORK, August 10.-The tele graphic announcement of the arrival of thre City of New York off Fire Island, at 1.15 o'clock this morning, was re cived by most of the Blainites who - ave been sailing up and down the harbor for three days before they re tred. The morning papers, consulted adaybreak, conveyed the information to others. At8S.5 the Starin headed down the man. She went down as far as Hoff mn Island, and there she lay to, the Cit of New York being discovered at 8.0 amile or two away. At 9 o'clock the City of New York, decked in flags, the A merican ensign being at the fore, came up alongside, and lowered above the excursio7fat,11e baid kajed "Home Again." * Mr. Blaine was escorted to an open carriage and at once driven to' the Fifth Avenue Hotel, where he wvas joined by his party. The hotel had been filled all day by throngs of promi nent politicians from all parts of the country, among them being- Levi P. " Morton, Whitelaw Reid, William Wal ter Phelps, Murat Halstead, Chairn'an Quay and Thomas C. Platt. Mr. Blaine entered the hotel through a thick press \-" of people, lifting his hat in response to ~cheers. He mounted the stairs to go to K, his suite of rooms, but wvas forced to S turn at the top of the first flight and express thanks for the reception. He t hen joined his party in theIr rooms. -TH E D)EMONSTRATION AT NIGHT. woknge' demonstration to .laine to-night was a perfect 'p.art made UP for the last night's failure to secur . man for the great parade. Tn. a~tnd stand on Madison Square was again used, and before slun = set, space on the stand and on the ad jacent ground grew to command a preniuum. Cappa's Seventh Regiment Ban funisedthe music. The cheer ing beg.an early in the morning, and( contin ued spasmiodically uniitil Mr. Blaine appeared at the hotel across the * street.

Brice, chairman of the dl national Democratic campaign coin d mittee. proposes to take a little rest 4 during the coming week, which will be o the lirst since the national beaiiuar ters at 1o West 29th street were opened. 1 During the past two weeks he has < worked from twelve to fifteen hours a I u day organizing, in conjunction with Secretary Edward B. Dickinson, the business of the committee. The hard- 1 - est" part of this preliminary work is now finished. Above all, Col. Brice has selected the literature with which the r t campaign will be opened, and most of 1 e the speakers who will stump the coun s try. Chief among them will be Speaker ?, Carlisle. Congressman Mills, Daniel 1 y Dougherty, Congressman William L. Wilson, of West Virginia, "the scholar - in politics," whose great speech in i n favor of the Mills bill, when it was e pending in the House, gave hin at i d once a national reputation; Col. John )f R. Fellows, Ex-Senator Doolittle and h (;en. Samuel F. Carey. At present over 2,000,000 canpcaign v documents are in the printers' hands, 1 - and their distribntion will begin next < Wednesday, the day when the Repub- i r, licans will be shouting themselves : hoarse over the greatest living states man. Col. Brice is confident that their i perusal wipl have a great deal more ef- s d feet than the Blaine cheers. Many of r n the documents are short and to the e point, displaying on a page or two the < 1, radical differences between the two 1 n parties. The workingmen are shown f d that the high tariff benefits not them, e but their employer; that while the em ployer makes money they do the work; I e that only by wide markets can wages t- be increased. Col. Brice believes in bright, terse and emphatic presenta- i n tions of the issues. Of course, thous e ands of Congressman Mills's great n speeches are circulated. No better t campaign literation than they can be e found. - S A reporter of the Times asked Col. e Brice about the outlook yesterday. He if replied: I a "I am glad to be able to say that we t have just received cheering reports 5. from nearly every section of New York, e New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylva- 1 0 nia, Ohio, Iowa and Michigan. These1 t- reports relate to the desperate attempt 1 t which-has been made by the Republi- I if cans to create a defection in the Demo- i cratic ranks, especially by means of d 'the free trade scare.' The Republicans l- seemed to have agreed upon a deter "mined onslaught in those States, and d they have tried every means of effecting their purpose-intrigues, pamphlets, 1 subsidized newspapers and speakers. All our reports show that they hay ceasedI to have effect and that 'the tidle ' is now on the turn.' They have (lone their worst and our ranks are undis turbed. Now we will begin operations and we expect to make serious inroads upon the Republican vote. Our letters Sfrom these States assure us that the SDemocratic wvork in gmen will stead Lt fastly support the Democratic ticket, - and in addition will act as propagand e ists and induce their Republican fellow g workingmen to vote with them. a "Among the things to which all our Y corresp)ondents advert is the great d influence which the President's brave d and honest administration of the Na ', tional Government has upon the plain 1- people. The American people admire is a courageous mau, a man who dares do 7, what he believes to be right. The C- President, through his whole adminis tion, has advocated and promoted mneas 0 ures tending to the p)ronoulncedl welfare n I of the whole country. His very per e sonality,therefore, has a powerful influ .neupon the voters. The national IS comm nittee find that thousands of voters nare going to vote for Mr. Cleveland o because they have confidence in his yv patriotism, based upon what he has gdone since he entered the 'White House. d dent, and we believe that he will con rtinue to make a good President.' This confidence in the President exists to a ISwonderful extent in the agricultural regions of the great West, and will make itself felt on election daty. "Making all allowances for the natural entnusiasm of our correspond ents for the Democratic cause, I feel justified in saying that we will carry M ichig(an, Minnesota, Illinois, Wiscon sin and Iowa, each of which has hiith erto been Republican in every Presi dential election since 18.52. 1 refer to -these States becapse they will give us eboth branches of Congress and enable ethe President to carry out the great measures of reform which are nowv blocked by the Republican Senate. Of ecourse we expect to carry New York, Indina,ConectcutandNew Jersey, the only other States which can fairly be called doubtful.

Che Influence of Woman can Better Be Used in the Home than in the Political Arena. In an open letter to -Miss Frances E. Villard, published in the Christian nion, Mrs. Caroline F.

Her clearly expressed riews agree with those of most women vho have given thoughtful considera ion to the subject. After showing the )hysieal superiority of.man she says: "Has nature, then, given woman no -edress for this state of subjectivity to he physical pre-eminence of man? 1 ea, verily. Her power is dominant n the realm of morals but it is true, he world over, that the higher the volution of moral power the more )erfectly is it emancipated front the nethods of force, the more entire is its -chance upon the higher and purer nethods of love.

This is na ure's method of giving control over nan into the hands of woman, and the iistory of human life is made up of nstances where it has been a power in he hands of good women for good pur )oses, or evil women for vile and de tructive ends. You proposeto enfran hise all women, the bad as well as the rood; but when the former class find hat the new method of control is less -ffectual than the old, it appears to me o0 be a foregone conclusion that they ,vill fall back upon natural methods, mnd then you will have an elenment in ;roduced into politics which will tax pour" reformatory powers to the utmost md ini a manner you have not antici ated, and beside which initempel)ranI ce vill senm a minor evil, because it will ttack the very foundation of the homte tself.

A Remrrkable Family of Counterfeiters by the Name of Johnson. WAsrlrc:Tox. August 5.-The Se cret Service officials are watching with conwsiderable interest the progress of the trial of Charles Johnson at Sarnia, On tario, on the carge of counterfeiting. J1 .nson is a member of a family which has been notorious as counterfeiters for a quarter of a century. iiis grandi father was a famous counterfeiter in lii$ day. His father and mother are well known to the police, while his six brothers and sisters enjoy the distinc tion of being among the most audacious and clever shovers of the "queer" in the country. The Johnson family lived for many years in the vicinity of Dun kirk, N. Y., but the present home of such as were fortunate enough to keep out of jail is in Canada Charles Johnson was arrested in Feb ruary last at Detroit, Mich., for coun terfeiting five dollar certificates. He escaped to Canada, where he was ar rested by the Dominion oficials for a similar oflense against the laws of that country. le is one of the most expert counterfeiters living. He is a man about 50 years of age, and has spent half his life in various Easterin and Western prisons. It is expected that he will be sentenced by the Canadian courts to a term of twenty years in the penitentiary, in which event he will probably die there. The Secret Service official from whom these facts were obtained was asked if caunterfeiting was on the increase in this country. He replied that it was, but that the probabilities of arrest kept pace with it. A decade ago counter feiting was a slowand laborious process. Eighteen months and sometimes two years were frequently expended in pre paratory work before a single note was put into circulation. At the present time, by the aid of the photographic and electrotyping process, two weeks is all that is required. Quite naturally, the increased Ifacilities for counterfeit ing, the oilicial continued, is a new branch of the business, which has sprung up since the ressmption of specie payments. The principal of fenders in this line are Italians, who seem to lack the skill necessary for the more delicate work of bank note coun terfeiting. "Is it possible," was asked, "for a man to follow the business of counter feiting long without detection ?" "No," was the reply. "They are usually apprehended in from thirty to ninety days." "Who do they risk the chances of a long imprisonment for so slight a gain ?" "Because in the first place they are too lazy to earn an honest living, and in the second place each thinks him self too clever to be apprehended." PItOF. WOODWARD'S SUCCEsSOiR. l'ro! A. W.

SrNew. York Mail.] "What is a seedless raism anu wwo~ is it produced ?" recently queried a re porter of an importer of fruits. "The next time you eat a piece of mince pie," he replied, "you will find the seedless raisin in it if the meat has been properly p)repared. It is a small ish, cream-colored fr- bout the size of a gooseberry, and 1.o used with an unibroken skin. It comes from Smryna and is called the Sultana. It is grown se xless simply by arresting one of the laws of Nature. When the grape is about one-half ripe the end of the vine is bent down and buried in the ground. This p)revenlts the formation of seed and the full development of thme fruit, but'it ripens all the same and has a de licious flavor. Seedless raisins have entirely supplanted other kinds in fine puddinmgs aind pies. They retail at about .50 cemits per pound." To Avoid Clammy Potatoes.

The Professor says t underneath the town at great dep lay a mighty cavern filled with big infiammable gas under tremend pressure. By means of experime with delicate instruments, the Pro sor has come to the conclusion tha: a distance of only one mile below great gas cavity which lies under Fi lay a fire is raging at a temperature nearly 3,500 degrees. IHe made several tests within a rad of three miles, and claims that his f observations were completely e firmed. He says that about twe hundred feet below the city of Find lies an immense cavern. It is seve miles long, and in some places mn than half a mile deep. This is crow< full of gas, which is under a pressi almost inconceivable.

WORKINGMEN OF PHILADELPHIA. for A City Where Laborers Own Their Homes. Moral and Social Influence. [Age of Steel.] or- Philadelphia, as the greatest work :he shop of America, furnishes a striking ni- illustration in the point.

Though the holdings of these the associations exceed $50,000,000, they iat are managed by workingmen at little tis- expense, and are always open to public by scrutiny.

Patrick Collins, Aged 106, Hopes to Vote for Cleveland and Thurman. [New York Star.] The oldest Jeffersonian Democrat of the country has been discovered by a Star reporter. Patrick Collins, of Brook lyn, according to his own statement, is now 106 years old, and, even at this advanced age, is intelligent and active. When Mr. Collins left his native county of Monaghan, Ireland, many years ago, he came to this country as a railroad laborer. For seven or eight years he kept to this work, until for a time his health gave way. Neverthe less he preserved and succeeded in keeping in comfortable circumstances a family of three daughters and two sons. A short time ago Mr. Collins was knocked down and run over by an express wagon in Myrtle avenue. His youngest son, Patrick, and his wife cared for the old gentleman as best they could for a time, but finally decided that he would be much better off for a time with the Little Sisters of the Poor at DeKalb and Bushwick avenue. Through the courtesy of the sister in charge the Star reporter was allowed an interview with :Mr. Collins. No one would suspect, from his bearing, that the old man carries the weight of 106 years upon his shoulders. He is active in body, and his mind is very clear. He suffers from deafness, and that defeet evidently annoys and confuses him at times. Notwithstanding this, how ever, Mr. Collins is always affable, and certainly displayed great interest in the affairs of the day. "Yes," he said, "I can very distinctly recall, old as I am, the times of Wash ington, though I was not an American then, and I believe I revere and honor his memory, but during more recent times, when I was of an age to take a more active interest in the hopes and aspirations of the country, Jefferson was my favorite." Mr. Collins is quite a pedestrian, and even now takes a walk every few days. He says that he will walk up to the polls in November as-brisky as any of them, and deposit a vote for Cleveland and Thurman. THE-"THREE C'S" AT ROCK HILL. The Company Will Now Receive York County's 670,000 in Bonds. CAMDEN, Aug. 10.-The track of the "Three C.'s" was laid into Rock Hill this morning, and trains will probably begin to run regularly to Rock Hill by Monday, August13. The management will secure about $70,000 worth of bonds from York County now, which will doubtless be very welcome to the cor poration. The bonds have been' on deposit with a trust company in Bos ton, to be delivered to the "Three C's" upon the completion of the road to Rock Hill. A Great City's Costly smoke. The investigations of a society formed inLondon to abate the smoke nuisance afford a rather startling idea of the wasteful extravagance of the present system of combustion. Here is a sum mary of a late report of the Smoke Abatement Institute: "The weight of the smoke cloud over the city is esti mated at about fifty tons of solid car bon and two hundred and fifty tons of hydrocarbon anid carbonic oxide gases. From actual tests the value of coal annually wasted through the obstinacy of the Cockneys is ?2,257,500, or 42 per cent. of the amount actually expended for coal in London, that being the per centage of heat that escapes up the chimney without warning anybody. This waste also causes a useless expendi ture of ?268,850 for carting coal, to say nothing of the wear and tear of streets and of ?43,000 more for carting away ashes. Altogether about ?2,500,000 are yearly thrown away in London. Add to this ?2,000,000 for injury to proerty from this smoke-laden atmosphere, and there is shown a total of ?4,500,000 which London annually loses because of its failnre to burn coal under proper conditions. *____ -I.oier Pays the Penalty The Murdererrr. of HsCie ST. Louis, August 10.-Hugh M. Brooks, the murderer of C. ArthurII Preller in 1885, was hanged in the jail this morning at 9 o'clock. The doomed man was calm and collected, and died as he had lived, amystery. He was attended by a Catholic priest, who said mass with the doomed man before thc drop fell.
