RICHARD, CT’VKBR SAILS.
the Former Chief of Tammany Hall Re-
tn\rn»~. to lice-ope. '
NEW YORK, Feb. 84,—l’iichard Croker
sailed today on. the North German Lloyd
steamship Spree. ,
There were comparatively few Tam—
manyites to see him off,
Mr. Croker arrived shortly. before the
time of sailing, with his wife. in his car-
riage. . Their sons Riéhurd and Frank had
preceded them. ‘
Among the Tammanyites present at the
time were John C. Sheen-an. former Judge
Felt-Der, former Judge Ryan, Nat-ban
Straus, H. D. Hotchkiss, Lawyer Nolan
and James J. Coogan. ,
Mr. Coogan. who once upon a'time ran
for mayor himself. and who is said'to have
asked Mr. Crokerto run for mayor, had
placed a horseshoe of lilies of the valley in
Mr. Croker’s cabin. That was the only
floral Offering given.
Mr. Croker said that'he expected to get
back to NEW York in August, in time to
take part in the campaign.
"It is rather unpleasant,” he said, “to
have a cold, as 1 have, on a sea trip. I
expect to enter some of my horses in the
English races. Although the English rac-
ing season Opens on March 15, I have p0
horses entered prior to April 15. I have
two good colts entered in the Derby—
Westohester and Princeton.”
Mr. Sheehan left the dock before the
vessel sailed. The other 'I‘ammanyitos
waved Mr. Croker goodby from the end of
the dock.
THE'CAPTURB or BENIN.
Found to Be Racking “'ith the
Blood of Human Victims. ,
LONDON, Feb. 24.-—A dispatch from
Bress. on the west coast of Africa, gives
details relative to the capture of Benin
City by the British naval expedition
against the emir of Nupe.
There were an eight hours’ running
fight and a stubborn resistance on the
part of the Fulchs. Four of the whites,
including Dr. Fyfe, were killed and 16
wounded.
The expedition found Benin City reek-
ing with human blood. Many human be-
ings had been sacrificed and Crucified by
the Fulchs. The troops destroyed the cru-
cifixion trees and the “juju houses.”
City
The British punitive expedition against
the king of Benin was planned for the
purpose of punishing the natives for the
massacre of Consul General J. R. Phillips
and his party, which was unarmed and
was proceeding to Benin City in order to
make a. request for a conference with King
Obbah in regard to increasing the trading
facilities with that part of Africa.
Benin City will prove a valuable acqui—
sition for-the British, for it is a storage
place for an immense amount of ivory.
For many generations back the natives
have been compelled to contribute a cer-
tain portion of their ivory to the royal
treasury, and the amount accumulated is
said to be beyond comprehension.

cludes not only general literature, history

Cholera Among Relief Cot/pa.
CALCUTTA, Feb. 24.——Cholera has broken
out among the people employed on the re-
I‘lef works of the native state of Revvah.
In two days 160 deaths have been recorded.
Owing to over-crowding and bad ventil-
ation, the air of the schoolroom is often close
and impure, and teachers and pupils fre-
quently suffer from lung and throat tron;
blcs. To all such we would sav, try Cham-
berlain’s Cough . Remedy. ‘or coughs,
colds, weak lungs and bronchial troubles, no
"‘ other remedy can compare with it. Says A.
C. Freed, Superintendent of Schools, Prairie

I have no hesitation in recommending it to all
who sull'er fron: :é-ughs, lung troubles, etc.”

The Sayres bill. providing for the
taking 0f the twelfth census, does
away with the former separate office
of Superintendent of the Census by
providing that the Commissioner of
Labor shall have charge of the work.
It also makes the salary of the Com-
missioner of Labor $0,000 and gives
him the power to appoint an Assistant
Commissioner who will get $4,000 a
year. There are to be five expert sta-
tisticians at $3,000 per year each, '_‘and

The etiquette between
and incoming Presidents is exact and
rigid. Mr. McKinley will go to the
White House and drive to the Capitol,
simply a citizen, sitting by the side of
President Cleveland. On the way to
the Capitol the President lifts his hat,
to the cheering crowds occasionally,
although the new man does most of
the bowing. But coming, back he
keeps his hat on, having then’ ex-
changed places with the simple citi-
zen who drove down sitting on his-
left, and returns sitting on his right
and President of the United States.
On the return to the White House a
luncheon is given by the outgoing to
the incoming President, at which the
first-named is host and the guests are
the members of the two cabinets and
their families. When this is over, the
outgoing President takes his leave, the
incoming President escorting him to
the door of the mansion. But this
may not be the last time he enters it.
(in every .ocasion that an ex-President
aisits Washington his first obligation
is to call at the White House. He is
immediately received, no matter how
much engaged the President may be.
'I' be head usher acts as his escort, and
he is paid more personal attention
than any guest who ever enters the
house. ,
Not a great while ago notices were
put up in the House wing of the Capi-
tol prohibiting smoking in the corri-
dors, the public Offices, statuary hall
and the elevators. Employees of the
House were specially prohibited from -
smoking. The ldoorkcepers and the
Capitol police'were instructed to rig- -
. idly enforce the order.
The members
of the House, of course, do not pay the
slightest attention to the regulations,
and some of thepolice‘ say that inas-
much as the order is not signed by any
one they do not believe they could
rightly arrest a man or boy should he
insist on smoking. “I happened to be
standing at the end of one long corri-
dor the other day,” said a policeman,
“and suddenly I saw a large body turn
into that same corridor and come my '
way. I thought there was a chance to
call a man down for violating the or-

far superior to any other.”
