Me'jdoo to Adopt the Uniform System of Weights and Measures Recom mended by the Conference General Notes. "Washington, Oct. 15. The British min ister has transmitted to the state depart ment a letter from the governor of Sierra Leone, enclosing a report from the colonial Burgeon at Freetown, Dr. Palmer Ross, relative to the case of the nine American missionaries at that place. Dr. Ross re- Sorts that the superintendent of the party, Ir. Kingman, arrived there on February 27, 1890, and was followed on June 15 by Mrs. Kingman, Miss Dick and Messrs. Helmick, Jaderquist, Goding, Tryco (a negro), Satts and Harris. It is stated that upon their arrival they began to live in native fashion, eating native food, cooking and washing for themselves, and even col lecting their own fuel in the rainy season, hoping thus to gain the confidence of the natives. On Julv 3, Mr. Kingman informed Dr. Itoas that two of his party had died that day. Upon inquiry, Dr. Hobs learned that no doctor had been called in to attend the deceased (Gatts and Harris) the whole party being staunch believers in "faith liealrag;" that they had taken no medicine and had died of fever. Dr. Ross knowing that the tropical fever if not checked, is npt to assume a violent form among newly arrived white people, ordered the bodies buried as soon as possible, and sent the Kinitary policeman to see that the order was carried out. to disinfect the house and destroy all bedding, clothing etc., used by the deceased. That officer reported others were sick in the house, a fact which the missionaries had not stated, and on the next day Mr. Kingman went for the doctor to see his wife. She was found to bo in the last si ago of exhaustion from neglected fever, having been ill for nine days, and in spite of all that could be done. he died in the evening of the lith. On the previous day Mr. Kingman was found to bo ill, but refused to accept medical as sistance. That evening Trice, who was also ill, sent for the doctor and consented to be taken to the hospital for treatment under which he recovered. On the 11th, Mr. Kingman, though worse, having again refused to reci-ive the doctor, that gentle man informed him that, as the mission aries had, by their action, originated a malignant type of fever in Freetown, en dangering the whole community, he would teport the matter to the governor, isolate the house, and advise that tho rest of the fartybesontbacktoAmeric-i.Mr.Kingman hen consented to be treated "solely on the round that ho did not wish to endanger lin pnmmiinltA'" nml WHS on .Tulv 22. 1890. 3onvalescent. Dr. Ross adds that he under- i binds that these missionariesintend going duo east into the interior guided only by a compass. In view of these fncts, ancTcT the state ment in the Missionary Review, that an other party of missionaries are expected, the governor of Sierra Leone calls atten tion to the matte--, "as this climate is not firiti'd to those who trust alone to 'faith healing' and iguore the means placed by Providence at their disposal for the relief pfsutlering humanity, aud as such, is a danger to the commuuity at large."

Waller, the eloquent colored orator, ad dressed au immense audience here last night. Several hundred coiiid not even find standing room. Waller was met at the depot by the Inealls and Perkins club, 350 strone. uniformed, and headed by the band. His speech was a masterly effort and was enthusiastically received." The Alliance store here has parsed into the hands of private persons. The store Itecume involved aud was forced to sell in order to avoid bankruptcy. This was con sidered one of the largest and most pros perous Alliance stores in the state. Mis management is assigned as the cause of the failure. Over a hundred farmers lose all they invested In the enterprise. THE FARMERS' ALLIANCE. TOPEKA, Kan., Oct. 15. The third an nual meeting of the Kansas State Alliance was held at Metropolitan hall in this city, today, with a large delegation from every county in the state. After the appoint ment of committees, it was announced that National President L. L. Polk and a delegation from Georgia, headed by Congressman-Elect Livingston, would soon arrive; whereupon a committee proceeded to the depot and escorted the visiting brethren to the hall where they were in troduced and short speeches were made by Polk, Livingston and other visiting dele gates. A political mass meeting of the Alliance will be held tomorrow at which Mr. Polk and others will speak. HORSETHIEVES. Guthrie, Ok., Oct. 15. Three deputy United States marshals, in a chase after four horse thieves in the Iowa reservation yesterday, became engaged in a fight with the desperadoes. One of the thieves was killed, and the others captured. When the thieves saw they would be unable to make off with the stolen horses, eleven in all, they shot them. The horses were the property of C. F. Martin, of this county. THE OHIO LEGISLATURE. Columbus, O., Oct. 15. Very little has been accomplished in the legislature this morning. A resolution was offered in the house, the tone of which censured the governor for calling the extra session, and providing an investigation committee for Cincinnati. A house caucus agreed to support a bill giving the governor the power of removal from boards at Cincin nati. A house committee was nppointed to investigate. A bill was introduced to abolish the office of comptroller at Cin cinnati, and a resolution was offered for a committee to prepare a plan of city gov ernment for that" city, and report in Jan uary. All went over under the rule. The bills providing for the abolishment of the board of improvements and decen nial board at Cincinnati were read the second time in the senate today and re ferred to the authors with leave to report. Resolutions looking to an investigation of the rumors of dishonesty on the part of members of the boards, were offered in both btanches and went over under the rules. The Democratic senate and house caucuses have substantially agreed upon the character of the legislation which shall be had in connection with the Cin cinnati question. A bill is proposed and will be introduced tomorrow.amending the law under which the board was created, giving the governor the power of removal, and providing for tho selection of the members of the borrd at the April election. This implies the removal of the members of the present board, and the appointment of others by the governor. Governor Campbell, in the interest of harmony and compromise, has acceeded to tho proposition. A HOTEL BURNED. Syracuse. N. Y Oct. 1G. What proved to be the most disastrous fire that has visited Syracuse for many years, was dis covered in the Leland hotel at 12:30 o'clock this morning. It is now 2 o'clock and the fire is still burning fiercely, although the entire fire department, consisting of nine engines, are working hard to save further los of life and limb. An eye witness of the fire says it is positive that at least twenty-five persons lost their lives and many more have been more or less injured. One woman was being lowered from a 'window by the aid of a rope. She had reached a point opposite the third story when the rope became ignited from a burn ing sill, the rope parted and the woman fell to the pavement, her brains dashed out and her body flattened into a shapeless mass. Sp great is the confusion aud ex citement that the identity of those killed and injured is wholly unknown. Under taker's ambulances aud other vehicles aro flying in all directions, and the streets in the neighborhood of the ill-fated hotel are througed with excited crowds of people. Frank Carrick, of Glenn Falls, N. Y has been identified as one of those burned to death. Many people crazed with fright lost their lives by jumping from windows. One man says he saw six people jump from different windows on the Fayette street side of tho building within a space of four minutes, and tho sight sickened him with its horror and ho was compelled to leave the spot. The building was pro vided with both iron fire escapes on the outside and ropes on the inside, which were the means of saving many lives. Burnett Forbes, a stockbroker, of this city, escaped into thestreet almost entirely naked, He was slightly injured about the hands. One woman was found with a nursing baby in her arms, crouched in a stairway where she had been overcome by sniokc. She was removed by the firemen but has not yet regained consciousness aud it is impossible to say what her name or experience was. The fire is said to have started in the kitchen. The building will be a total loss. It was built two years ago at a cost of $150,000. It is six stories high aud con tained 400toohis. It is impossible to iearn how many guests wero in the hotel at the time the tiro broke out. The total loss will not fall short of $500,000. and is par tially covered by insurance, but it is im possible to learn how much insurance was curried on the furniture or what the price and individual losses will be. THE LOYAL LEGION. ST. LOUIS, Oct. 15. The twentv-sixth annual meeting of tho Loyal Legion opened here at 10 o'clock this morning, at the Lindcll hotel. The meeting, of course, is secret, and none of its proceedings will be given to the public, A large number of distinguished soldiers and prominent members of the order aro present and the sessions will be presided over by ex-President R. B. Hayes, the commander-in-chief of the Legion. This is the first meeting of the Legion ever held outside of Phila delphia. The afternoon session was occupied in considering the eligibility of applicants to membership and matters of a purely rou tine nature. At 4 o'clock the convention had completed its business and adjourned sine die. The remainder of the afternoon was spent bv the members in driving about the city incarriages. This evening the delegates were entertained at a recep tion given in their honor by Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Kerens, at their residence, 30 Van deventer Place. Tomorrow they will visit the Merchants' Exchange in the morning, exposition in the afternoon, and in the evening a banquet will be tendered at the Liudell hotel. The convention was called to order by ex-President Hayes. In the absence of the chaplain, Rev. John B. Brunt, of the Cum berland Presbyterian church, offered praver. After roll call the commauder-in chief very briefly opened the proceedings, aud a report was read showing that there are eighteen comniauderies in the country with a membership of about S.000. Appli cations for membership were then consid ered. The question of the eligibility of various commanderies was referred" to committees' who will report this afternoon, when the application of the new state of Washington will be considered and acted upon. At uoon the convention adjourned to reconvene at 3 o'clock. A CHIEF OF POLICE KILLED. XEWORLFANS, La., Oct. 15. Twenty five minutes before twelve o'clock tonicht David C. Hennesy, chief of police of this city, was shot down by three men nooi the corner of Basin and Girod streets. Pistols were used by Hennesy "s assailants and he received four shots, one in the stomach which it is believed, will prove fatal. Hen nesy was conveyed at once to the charity hospital and hif relatives hastily sum moned. His assailants so far are unknown. THE COUNT OF PARIS. Gettysburg, Pa., Oct. 15 The count of Pans and his party spent the entire day in inspecting the battlefield, accompanied by the generals who commanded corps in this fight: O. O. Howard, of the Twelfth; Henry S. Slocum, of the Eleventh; John Newton and AbnerDoubleday, oftheFirst and Daniel E. Sickles, of the Third, and numerous other journals. THE IRISH QUESTION. THE ARCHBISHOPS OF IRELAND SUMMONED TO ROME. Striking Picture of Ireland's Con dition Drawn by an English. Historian. The Misery and "Wretchedness of Green Isle Traced to Absentee Landlordism, the The Story of the Escape of the Mining Irish Leaders Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien The Socialist Congress in Session at Halle Other foreign Notea London, Oct. 15. Mr. Thomas Power O'Connor's paper, the Star, announces that the Most Rev. Michael Logue, D. D., archbishop of the diocese of Armagh, and primate of all Ireland; Most Rev. Wm. J. Walsh, D. D., archbishop of the diocese of Dublin; Most Rev. Thomas W. Croke, D. D., archbishop of Cashel, and Most Rev. John Macevilly, D. D., archbishop of Tuam, have been summoned by the pope to appear at Rome in the early part of next year. This, the Star says, is an un usual and significant step, and is seldom adopted. The fact that a summons for the archbishops had been issued has been known only to a limited circle. The Catholic archiepiscopacy are deeply inter ested. It is believed that the summons was issued in connection with the Irish political situation and kindred subjects. AN ENGLISH VIEW OF IRELAND. A Picture of Ireland Drawn by an En glish Historian. LONDON, Oct. 15. The last two volumes of Lecky's "History of England in tho Eighteenth Century," appeared today. They are taken up large ly with Irish history. Of Henry Gratton. the great Irish orator, he de clares that he was strong in the convic tion that the true interests of England and Ireland were incompatible. Lecky charges that the absenteeism of Irish land lords has been responsible, in a high de gree, for the infamous abuses which have been developed in the management of Irish property. Lecky olames the middlemen and the farmers for the terrific extortion which has resulted from the system of competi tive rents during the last two centuries. He assests that it has not been the general custom for the owners of property in Ire land to ask the full market rents. It is the men who have rented from the owners and then sub-let to others who have ex acted the highest rents that competition for laud allowed. The idea often advanced that the English government had a hand .in p-ecipitating tlte irisn reoelliou in order to assist in effecting a union with Ireland, Mr. Lecky denies. On the other hand, he acknowledges that it was accom I plished through corruption aud bribery. The great experiment of the union, in I his opinion, has hitherto been tried under unfavorable and unhappy circumstances. Almost continuously since the union went into effect, Irelaud hats been distressed with political agitation, agrarian crime 1 and conspiracy. Moreover, it has been subjected to unusual social nnd economical revolutions and lias heen a held lor many violent and contradictory legislative ex periments. Mr. Lecky contends that through the influence of a wave of Demo cratic feeling, Ireland was accorded a much larger representation in parliament than she was entitled to, considering the fact that a majority of the Irish popula tion was disaffected. The historian then proceeds to trace the rise and progress of Fenianism. After the downfall of the Fen ian society came the creation of an agrarian organization, the promoters of which were largely paid by Fenians. This agrarian movement has succeeded in es tablishing over a great part of Ireland an elaborate and all-pervading tyranny. This has been accompanied bv perhaps as much mean and savage cruelty and as much shameless and deliberate lying as any movement of the nineteenth century. It is difficult, indeed, to exaggerate the ex tent to which this has demoralized the Irish people and destroyed their capacity for self government. Mr. Lecky declares, as his deliberate opinion, that the Fenians have not abandoned any of the ulterior objects of their organization, but have consented to the agitation for home rule as a proximate end, because this would confer legislative powers upon the Nation al league. The achievement of home rule would thus become a leverage for attain ing their ultimate designs In conclusion, Mr. Lecky contrasts the complete success with which Eugland has governed India with its 200,000,000 people, with the signal failure of English rule in Irelaud, where there were only 5,000,000 disaffected people. He finds a key to the enigma in the fact that Irish affairs have been in the verv vortex of English party politics while India has hitherto lain out side their sphere. The Times, in its review of the volumes, says: "Mr. Lecky has preserved intact the integrity of the hi-torian's conscience. Mere partisans on either side of the Irish controversy will be bitterly disappointed at Mr. Lecky's conclusions." The News says: "The prophecies which have appeared "from time to time touching the character of these volumes, which tended to degrade a great history to the level of a party pamphlet, have proved to be fale. These volvmes are worthy com panions of those which have preceded them. The most devoted follower of Mr. Glad stone may read them with greater profit than the friends of the government, for, with the best will toassist the concervative cause, Mr. Lecky is still trammeled by the inexorable logic of facts." Tho News ex presses regret that the end of the work is marred wfth a childish onslaught on Mr. Gladstone, whom Mr. Lecky endeavors to force into connection with Fenianism. Apart from this blemish, the News con siders the work fair. DILLON AND O'BRIEN. Conflicting Storie3 as to the Whereabouts of the Irish Leaders. PAHIS, OcL 15 La Presse says that Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien, after their flight from Tipperary. took passage on a .-ailing vessel and landed at Lucet Mar, on the coast of Normandy, on Sunday. They passed the nh:ht at the residence of M. Kaffalovich, the banker, whose daughter is the wife of Mr. 0"Bnen. On Monday they came to Pans and thence proceeded to M. Ralfalovitch's country houe, at Gif, in the department of the eine Et Oise. The returned to Pans last night, but their address in the city is kept a secret If the news received from America is fav orable to the Irish mission to that country, they will start for New York at the end of theweek. If it becomes manifest that it is their intention to remain in Paris, the gov ernment will request them to leave. Rumors are in circulation here that M. Raffelovich and the members of his family declared that Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien have not been in France, and assert that they have sailed for America. AN'OTHER STORT. TirPKRABT, Oct. 15. During the proceedings- in the court here tody. Mr. Kealey. one of the counsel for the "defend ants In the conspiracy case, was handed a telegram. Tearing the envelop open, he found it contained a dispatch from Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien announcing their safe arrival at Cherbourg, France, today. DuBJJCf, Oct. 15. The telegraph says that Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien arrived at Cherbourg on board a yacht, and that they are now stopping at a hotel at that place. HOW THET ESCAPED. Dublin, Oct. 15. The United Ireland prints an account of the escape of Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien, written by Mr. O'Bri en himself. Mr. O'Brien says: ""We row ed from Dalkey Wednesday midnight to a yacht lying two miles off shore. Not an enemy was in sight. Next morning found ns ninety miles away toward the Welsh coast. Friday and Saturday we lay in a dead calm. On Sunday morning we rounded Land's End, when the wind again died away and we were forced to lie all day in a brilliant sunshine, within two miles of the shore. A Trinity house cut ter passed quite close to us, and the crew of the royal Adelaide off Falmouth actually exchanged greetings with our sailors. A Dublin steamer also passed close by us. A heavy fog buried us from sight on Sunday night. Four steamers were blowing fog horns around us during the night. We cleared the Liz ard in the morning and darted across for the French coast to out-trick the British shipping. We were becalmed again on Monday, and were obliged to beat up the channel. A brisk gale sprang up Monday night in which the yacht behaved magnificently. While passing Guernsy, after midnight, we were apparently pur sued by a revenue cutter which, however, was unable to weather the gale and aban doned the chase. In the morning we were running free before the wind for Cher bourg, where we landed at 11 o'clock. We had reached our last days supply of fresh water. All the arrangements worked per fectly, thanks to the prominent Dublin citizen who superintended them, and had unparalleled good luck." Mrs. O'Brien left Dublin this evening to join her husband. PORTER ON PROTECTION. LOSDON", Oct. 15. Robert P. Porter spoke as follows today to a London jour nalist on the McKinley bill and kindred subjects. After listening to Porter's de fense of that measure the Englishman re ferred to reports that America was, at bottom, in favor of free trade. "That's all moonshine," answered the traveler from the states. "I'll undertake to say the United States is today miles further away from free trade than you are from a reasonable tariff on articles of lux ury." "But Mr. Mundella and Mr. David A. Wells, of your side, say the McKinley bill is only payment to manufacturers for money subscribed for election expenses." "Such a statement is a libel on the intel ligence of 5,000,000 American citizens." "'We hear occasionally about a party on your side favoring reciprocity with Can ada." "Well, Canada is a bumptious and at times irritating little neighbor of ours, who wants to secure in a return for a mar ket of 5.000,000 or G,000, 00 people one for 04,000,000. What Canada does or does not is not a matter over which the American people spend many sleepless nights. To assume that the McKinley bill was intend ed as an indication of unfriendliness to Canada is grotesque. Equal terms of reciprocity with Canada is out of tho question. The only way to secure a home market for W,000,00 people is to become part of the Union." "One question more and an important one how does it come about that jou, brought up as an Englishman, appear so stanch a protectionist?" "I don't think my being an Englishman had much to do with it. I've een the benefits of protection all over the country. In tho western states it h-ns dotted the prairies with prosperous center of indus try; in the eastern states it has built up immense industries. Under this system we are rapidly becoming the first manu facturing as well as agricultural, nation on earth, and when our new shipping bill becomes a law we shall struggle hard to reach the top ns a commercial nation. When a young man I was a great student of Couden and Bright's speeches, aud reading these strengthened my belief in protection when I saw how little their glowing promises were realized." CANADIAN THREATS. New Yof.k, Oct. 13. An Ottawa dis patch says there appears to have been, as if by mutual understanding, a general at tack, with threats of retaliation, against the United States, upon the part of the conservative press of Canada, all along the line. The government press of the Dominion is slow to take any important step where the policy of the administration is concerned, except under instructions from Ottawa. It is generally believed that the mandate has gone forth to pre pare the people of Canada for such a re modeling of the Dominion tariff during the approaching session of parliament as will meet the McKinley bill on its own grounds. The Halifax Mail, the organ of the Hon. Charles Tupper, minister of ma rine, has taken a very decided stand, char acterizing the McKinley bill as an act of war on the British empire. ONE GOOD EFFECT. OTTAWA, Oct 15. The removal of the Canadian export duty on logs is showing its effect. Already there is an enormous revivnl of shipments to the United States. One dealer is filling an order for 400 cars. AKOTHEU VIEW. OTTAWA, Oct. 15. Four hundred car loads of lumler have left here for the American market since the removal of the export duty. The amount awaiting ship ment here is over two hundred million feet. Both the Empire and the Gazette at tack the government for removing the duty, on the ground that it will allow American lumbermen to enter Canada, compete with Canadians and deplete our forests. The latter sav3 the mire over free trade has been mixed in a way to eive the United Suites all the benefits of protection without securi ig to Canada those which come from free trade. PORTUGAL. Lisbon, Oct. 15. In the cortez today, in the presence of all the ministers, Senhor Sousa, the new prime minister, read a statement of his proposed policy. He said he was unable to recommend the sanction of tne convention with England, but did not desire to prevent the execntion of the clauses already sanctioned. The govern ment identified itself with the national sentiment on this question and would willingly accept modifications which, while preserving the dignity and in terests of the nation, would fa cilitate the restoration of harmony with our old allies: but nei eared n the am besia reports were true, it would be harder than ever to arrive at an equitable agree ment, which Portugal always sincerely de sired. Parliament, he said, would be con voked whenever the cabinet arrived at a decision requiring its assistance. The nation's credit hail been attacked by pri vate interests abroad, but not shaken. The government would devote itself to economical measures in order to reduce the national expenses. The premier asked parliament to sink volatile passions and give the government the support of the nreded on these two important questions. The statement was afterward read in both houses. The leaders of various parties made short speeches, in which they gave assurance of an artitude of good will to ward the government. At a joint sitting of the two houses, a royal decree was read closing the session. The constitutional dat for the reopening of the cortez is January 2. BOUNCED. Nashville, Tens.. Oct 15. Rev. D. C. Kelly, prohibition candidate for governor, was today suspended for six months by the M. E. conference, which is in session at Pulaski, for leaving his post at Gallatin a pastor, without permissiea from the conierencc THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE LAW. Chicago, Oct 15. The Daily News prints interviews with a number of rail road men and shippers regarding the inter state commerce law. In introducing them the News says that the law is viewed with hostile eyes by most railroad managers and large shippers. All are agreed, it sap, that the act, if it is to be obeyed, will have to be materially amended. J. "W. Midgeley, chairman of the south western division of tho Western Freight association, said he thought the commis sioners, personally, an admirable set of men, but that they have not the experi ence requisite to fill such positions in the manner they should be filled. There should be at least one practical railroad man on the commission. General Freight Agent Miller of the Burlington road, said he would amend the law by wiping it out of the statute books, but if that is not possible, he would favor an amendment permitting railway corpo rations to form pools for traffic purposes. Chairman Walker, of the Interstate Commerce Railway association, and form erly a member of the Interstate Commerco commission, said: "I am not one of those who oppose the law on principle; I believo that a law of the kind is essential for the best interests of the community. At pres ent, instead of being a mutual arrange ment, it practically legislates in a direct ion prejudicial to the interests of the roads, without giving the public any bene fit" A CONDEMNED BUILDING. The Big Government Building at Chicago Said to be Unsafe. CmcAGOj Oct. 15. The Times says that authoritative information was received from Washington yesterday that tho gov ernment building in this city occupying the square bounded by Clark, Adams, Dearborn and Jackson streets, has been condemned and will be abandoned. The dangerous condition of the structure has long been known, but during the last few days it has become so positivo a menace to the safety of persons employed therein, and those whom business called there, that immediate action was considered an absolute necessity. W. E. Bell, superintendent of tho gov ernment building, says that during tho past thirteen years the building has sunk from six to eighteen iuches, so that the ?o 000,000 building now resembles a "Ken tucky goose's back." He does not think there is any immediate danger, however, although the building has settled from one-fourth to one-half an inch. Au appro priation of $47,0 0 was made by the last congress for repairing the building. THE EEPOKT DENIED. Washington, Oct. 15. The dispatch from Chicago this moruinc stating that the government building in that city had been condemned and will be nbandoned, ou account of its dangerous conditiou, was shown to Secretary Windom, who read it carefully, aud said: "Well, if that building is in the unsafe condition men tioned in this item, it is very curious that no renort has been made to me upon the subject I have heard nothing about it, and know of nothing to justify any such statement." Mr. Windrim, the supervising architect of the treasury department, also read the I dispatch. Ho smiled and said: "wny, I there's nothing in this story. The build ing has not been condemned and will not be abandoned. There's nothing at all in connection with this building to create alarm nothing." THE MORMONS. New York, Oct. 15. The Independent will publish tomorrow articles received by telegraph from President WoodrufT of the Mormon church and Governor Thomas of Utah, concerning the action of the Mor mon conference of Oct 0, forbidding polyg amy. President Woodruff says: "The action of the conference is conclus ive. The church has no disposition to violate tho laws or defy the government. The revelation of God requires us to obey the constitutional laws of the land. Judeo i Zane has recognized the action of the church as sincere and final, and has re- scinded the rule excluding Mormon aliens from the naturalization. Governor Thomas says: "Tho manifesto of the president of the church has now been confirmed by the conference. It comes with a force of a new revelation, and whatever doubt may have existed as to the purpose and effect of the manifesto first sent out, they now seem to be re moved. The Gentiles rejoice that the con test begun so many years ago against po lvgamy has linallytriumphed, for they be lieve that never again will polygamy flourish on American soil. This is the most important event that has occurred in the Mormon church in years, and it Is be lieved it will result in greatly advancing the material interests and prosperity of the torritory." THE S00IALIST CONGRESS. The Bed Flag Again Make? Its Appearance in Germany. HALLE, Oct. 15 A commers was given last night to the delegates to the Socialist congress now in session in this city, in the Prinz Carl beer hall, the largest in the town. Three thousand persons attended the commers. A red flag, the emblem of the Socialists, which for ten years has been under the ban of the law in Germany, floated from the platform, from which a number of speeches were made by the lead ers of the party. The proceedings were interspersed with songs. An interesting feature was the presentation of a series of tableaux vivants Herr Beck of Zurich, explained that when he was exiled from Germany he secretly carried the flag that was on the platform, from Kassel to Zurich, where he kept it safely until now, when, on the expiration of the Socialist law, it was returned to its home. A LUNATIC AT LARGE. CHICAGO, 111.. Oct. 15. Lajt evaning, as Michigan avenue was thronged with peo ple coming from and going to the Illinois Central trains, a man of powerful physique came dashing throngh ttie crowd, hat in hand, his long hair streaming and his eyes glaring. Striking 3t one and catching at another oi the passers by, he almost cleared the street as he proceeded. Women aod children rushed screaming into the middle of the ."treet. and the men edged away to give him all the room he wanted He I leaped upon thoe he met like an infuri- I ated beast and after striking several I persons he at last came upon i Jack Knight With the ferocity of a tiger, he leaped at Knight's throat end fastening upon him with his powerful 1 clutch, drove his fingers through the akin. imbedding them in the muscle of the helpless man's throat He threw Knight to the pavement, and pounced upon him. 1 when a number of the more courageous i spectators came to the rescue.

Special dtpatch to the PaUr Easle. Guthrie, Ok., Oct 15. Today tho Guthrie Democrat passes into the hands of Messrs. Deathridge and Simpson, Mai. E. J.

Mr. Deathridge is too well known to tho people of this vicinity to require an intro duction. An old newspaper man. and a gentleman of energy aud integrity, he will, with his associate, make the paper the leading Democratic orgun of the terri tory. COUNCIL. MOUUtSG SKSSION. Ten members answered roll call this morning. Prayer was offered by the chaplain. The minutes of the previous session were read and approved. A motion was made to reconsider section 12 of the school law. Mr. Bixler It seems that some members of this bodv are willing to introduce any thing that will delay legislation, provided they cannot carry their point This sec tion 12 has been reconsidered after having parsed it yesterday. This substitute will bring confusion into our schools. Many thanked me yesterday for my etTorts to se cure the parage of the bill providing for separate schools. Let thus go into the house as it is, and if the conference can suggest amendments I am ready to con sider them. Mr. Pitman offered the following substi tute: That this section aud all connected with it be referred to a special committee to report next Saturday morning. Mr. Foster The substitute is out of or der. Tho proceeding is irregular. Mr. Pitman The noint of order is not well tiken. Wo have a right to take any action we plea. Tho motion is to adopt section 12 as read. Quite an extended discussion in regard to the reconsideration of the bill followed. Mr. Bixler Council bill No. 12 is not amendable, from the fnct that it has been read the third time nnd is on its passage On the motion to put tho bill upon its passage Mr. Foster voted aye, explaining that he did so as it seemed the only thing to do under the circumstances, although if section 12 ever passed both houses and re ceived the go vemor'ssignature.and should come before the courts it would bo pro nounced absolutely null and void. Mr Brown of Logan voted aye, because it might as well be put upon its passage now as auy time. The aye votes were Bixler, Brown of Lo gan, Foster, Grimmer, Howard, Xesbitt, Pittman, Smeltser and President Garden hire. The nay votes were Brown of Oklnhoma, Harader, Linn and McCartney. When the vote was put upon it pafwigo all of its opponents, except Harader, while not receding from thoir former position, voted aye m the interest of spely legisla tion. Oklahoma Brown said that ho Iwul ex amined it carefully and had not a doubt of its illegality. The record of the councillors on the question of mixed schools is w follows: Ayes Brown of Logan, Brown of Okln homa, Foster, Harader, Linn, McCart ney 0. Soon Bixler. Grimmer, Howard, Km bitt, Pitman. Smeltser and Gardonhins. The council thon wont into a committeo of the whole for the purpose of dibcuwlng the house substitute for the council code bill. Mr. Nesbltt was called to the chair. A number of sections from the Dakota territorial code wero incorporated into the bill. In addition to thoso provided by the bill, n provision was mode for tha election of a county attorney for a term of two years. It was a session of dry labor, unenliven ed by any excitement, save the point in ado by Brown of Oklahoma that) questions should be put in the affirmative and not in the negative form, and that bills iHied otherwise were illegal. Motions were presented in that form thereafter. AFTERNOOX ERflilOK. The conncil devoted the afternoon to the consideration of the code bill in committee of tho whole. HOUSE. A7TKRXOOK 8RMIOK.

"Suspend prog ress immediately, or with the index mem ber of tho digital extremities of my dexter manipulatory organ I communicate motion to the small metallic lever on the nether side of this -weapon and release the mechan ism it holds in check, thereby permitting the resultant concussion to explode the detonating fulminate contained in the rear ward portion of the cartridge, vaporize the combined product of nitrate of potash, sul phur and pulverized carbon with which it is in immediate contact, and impart a sud den propelling impulse to the elongated leaden projectile, to eecure the propulsion of which with adequate velocity this me chanical device originally was brought into the sphere of action."

"The immediate transfer and surrender of whatever auriferous or argentiferous disks coined for purposes of exchange, or printed notes exchangecblo for such disks, of which you may by any fortuitous con catenation of circumstances be the pos sessor, together with such othw articles of intrinsic value, or capable of being hypothe cated for the necessary means of subsist ence, as may have found a temporary lodg ment in yourgarinents. Nothing of a nu tritious or alimentary nature has passed my lips for twenty-four hours," he added, with a smothered sob. "The exigencies of my financial situation leave me no other resource then to take these imperative measures. Extrude the impedimenta or the crepitation will eventuate at once." "Is it something to eat you want!" "That is the summnm bonum of my am bitionthe ne plus ultra of my hopes." Prom a basket on his arm the belated traveler took out a cylindrical package. He gave it to tho footpad, who held it up where the flickering rays of a dim street lamp fell upon it, Rave ono glance at tho printed label, shrieked deliriously, and fainted for joy.

II Danger from Musical Instruments. A French military surgeon has been making researches on wind instruments which had been used by phthisical bandsmen, and warns musicians of tho importance of disinfection. He recom mends that instruments should be filled with a 5 per cent, solution of carbolio acid, or, in the case of metallic instru ments, that they 3hould be dipped into boiling water. These precautions are of the utmost importance when phthisical persons have used the instruments: for it was found in such cases that liquids used to wash them out presented a viru lence similar to that of a pure culture of tuberculosis. Fortunately, the danger is small aa long as the interior is thoroughly moist, which of course it usually is; but when an instrument has been lying by for some time, so that the interior has be come dry, thero ia real danger of air containing dried germs of the disease being drawn into the lungs of the person who next plays upon it.

The night ind mores tho gloom In 'the shadowy bswood; Mysteriously the leaves sway and slnj; So slow, so tender is the wind The slender elm tree la hardly stirred. The slry is veiled with clouds, With diaphanous tissue; Through their dissolving films The stars shine, But how infinitely removed; llow inaccessible I In the distant city Under the obvgjre towers Tho lights of Etchers gleam; From the dim .fields At intervals in tho silence A cuckoo utters A distorted cry; Through the low woods, Haunted with vain melancholy, A whippoorwill wanders, Forcing his monotonous bong. All the ancient desire Of the human spirit Has returned upon me In this hour. All the wild longing That cannot be satisfied. Break, O anguish of jature. Into 6ome glorious sound I Let me touch tho next circle of being, For I have compassed this life. New York Independent A POTOMC EEGATTA At tho close of a Strauss waltz a tall young man -with light hair and a stylish air drew the arm of his companion through his own, and they passed out of tho ball room to the wide balcony of the Potomac boat house. Beating themselvos in chairs on tho right hand corner they two a lit tle apart from the crowd in a friendly nook ofBhadow. She was a loiely bit of wom anhood; a little under sizo, with a great ooll of dark brown hair on her head, a nat urally curly "bang," with the most inno cent, dovclike black eyes, and a skin soft and white; a pretty mouth, with even white teeth, and a manner which seemed to Imply, "I am most attentive to all you have to say," which ia so everlastingly pleasing to tho masculine mind. "Say, Lillian," said her companion, giv ing her arm a little closer pressure before ho released hor to sit down, "can't you an Bwcr me that question I asked you a week ago now?" Ho was flushed from tho ravishing waltz that was just over, and he was deeply in love with one of the belles of Washington. No wonder that he looked down adoringly Into tho great round black oyos lifted so innocently to his own as she replied: "Oh, Harry! What is the use of being in buch n hurry to answer that serious question? You know I liko you, and that ought to bo enough!" "But it isn't enough! And 'liking' is not what I want to hear. I want to hear you say, 'I love you, llarn, better than any- body else in all the world.' "Well, you are modest in your wants," replied sue gayiy. "Ana J snail not say any such thing! I do like you, but havo no Idea whether I love you or not; and I am not going to spoil our presont ploassnt re lations by saying I do. There!" giving a little exasperating bhrug at his importu nity, for by this time ho was toying with her plump littlo hand; the only thing amips with it it was too lavishly bennged with diamonds and pearls to bo in so perfect tasto for so young a woman. Ho thought it perfect; as he pressed it a flame of jeal ousy shot through him. "You are in love with Jcromo Bayne, of tho Columbias. I have seen his marked attentions on tho evenings of their hops. You will just have to choose between us, for I am an up and down, straightforward fallow, and my girl must be all mine or go ovrto thoonomy bodily. Tho Columbia senior four for the naUl race are pitted Bgainst us alone this tune. Jerome and 1 are in oppobing crews, ami will you agree, you willful girl, that whichever wins in ho race wins 3'our hand with it?" "Yes, I will, just to punish you." So saying sho drew hor hand away petu Jnntly, jumped up and started to go to tho ladies' parlor, when, turning round, hho tan straight againht Harry Ilines' rival, rounj Bayno. Harry looked as reproach fully at hor as though it were not tho result bf accident, and gavo an equally unjust look of defiance to Jeromo Bayne, taking himstlf aw ay immediately to tho ball room. Them he soon might have been soon going through tho lancers with another 3 oung lady not quito so bowitchingly pretty as Lillian, but with a striking tiguru and faco that wore most likely to be remembered, jho was dark of skin and her voice was tharmingly modulated, and bhe was Lil liau's bosom friend, with w horn Harry al ways took reiugewhen that damsel carried hor coquetry past endurance, as just now. Tho dissimilar attracted these two young girls to each other. "Lottie," said Harry to his companion, "I have just made a deal with Lillian. Buyno and 1 aro booked for tho shell race to como off next Thursday, and whoso ever wins in tho boat race wins in the race for Lillian's fair hand. It is nip and tuck with us. He is as much iu lovo as I am, and it is my honest belief that she does not know which of us she likos bast. Sho will never own to mo that she 'loves' mo ever to little." "Impossible!" bald Lottio in roply. "She cannot love you both. If sho lovea you sho cannot lovo him, aiid vice versa." "Can't she, though? Does sho not know that almost every mau she meets sees bomething about her to adoro? Now, young Bayno and 1, 1 flatter myself, aro about equally good looking. Ho is a gov- 1 eminent clerk, though a member of a dis- tinguished family, aud with good social 1 position. I am equally fortunate, aud I j believe our chances are even. You, Lottie, I havo no idea of tho fascinations of her stylo of a girl." 1 "Oh, yes, 1 do, too. I 6co they arc irre- fiistible, and that ono such in tho estinia- j tion of most of you youths is worth a dozen such as I." "IVvorj'ou mind, Sis; never faar. Your turn is coming and so is your knight." "But, by all tho gods of tho river, I mean to w in the race," said Harry, giving his 1 companion a whirl. I ell, you ud not whirl me quite off j my feet if 3 ou do," hiu lottio. "My d- i ee to you two young spoons is to oacli try his luck in the regular way. Make her bay es' or 'no,' hh a mau can and a self re- 6pecting girl bhould. "All very good advice; but Lillian has a tc.iMng way, and never will let a fallow press that question home. Sim keeps us j fellows dangling at her side as though her I belt wore tho sirdie of Venus. We are all J in .ove with her, from the president of tho ilub to the soxswaki, and f-ho kaows it. 1 "We are caught in her web aud can't get out. She likes to s-ee us squirm. Well, I do not want to get free "Harry, want nousen-e you are talking. 1 do not baliere taut you really know what a noble lo' in. 1 bae half a mind to speak a good ord for 3-ou with Lillian. 1 do not want f sec you spoiled through a woman's silly caprices." "Do. there' .drliae." responded Harrv 'fTatn Baby was sick, we gave her Cfcstorta, When sho was a, Child, the cried for Castoria, When she became Miss, she clung to Castoria, 'When she had Children, she gave them Castoria, "I Will return the compliment some day, when fato comes along with a good oppor tunity for you in his hand." "You needn't! For I do not mean to be the victim of any one's match making, not even ours! My destiny will have to find me 1 nassisted, or I will not recognize him." Tho "airy, fairy Lillian" was quito as attentive to Jerome Bayne as Harry to Lotti. even going so far in h.jr coquetry as to cajole him into making an offer, when she told him of tho compact with Harry in regard to tho coming race. "Done!" said Bayne; "I like such high stakes, and 1 6hall row as never before to win! And by this token (kissing her hand) I shall hope to clasp it as my own in tho course of a week." "Don't be a fool in puMic!" said Lillian, snatching it away, but at the same timo giving him a look that mad bim a bigger fool than ever if to be most desperately in lovo is to merit certification with the "fools" of life. "Come," said he, "that is our waltz," and they turned and glided away in perfect step and time so perfect that most of the other dancers left the floor content to watch "the prettiest dancers in the room" marry the rhythm of motion to the magic of music. It is not necessary to give the exact date when an elderly gentleman, very short in the legs and largo of girth, might have been seen trotting along in the direction of tho Analostan boat house with short steps, but an air of conscious pride, a charming young girl hanging on each arm. They were dressed in white, their flounces and furbelows fluttering In tho breeze as they walked, tho animatiou of happy girl hood in ever' movement. It is explicit enough to say it was an ideal September day; the air seemed to pulse with tho bluo mistiness that presages tho smokes of autumnal fires. It was Dr. Griswold and his daughter Lillian, with her friend Lottio Wren, and tholr anxiety was to secure a good seat on tho Analostan veranda from which to view tho regatta. Those girls knew something was to be "won" besides tho ordinary stakes, henco their excite ment; for they did not know much of boat ing, save that it was a pretty sight. When they arrived the balcony was al ready crowded, therefore they had to take a chair on the flat roof, an equally good po sition for seeing. Tho steam lauuch was puffing and snort ing impatiently, with the referee, newspa per reporters and invited guests all aboard, ready to verify tiio result. Tho Analostan colors were bluo and white, the Potomac, red and white, and tho Columbia red, white and blue. These colors were to be seen in all sorts of boats, owned by tho respective clubs, tho rowers in bare arms and low necks, with trunks and long stockings, a picturesque com pan j' paddling around, a pleasing part of tho gay scene. The bluest of skies was reflect ed in the most placid of waters. It was a love-lj' day for a race. Tho "btart" was fixed half a milo above the Long bridge; the "finish" at a buoy set between the Analostan and Potomac boat houses, or perhaps nearer the Columbia's club house. The first raco was for tho eight oared shells, and was participated in by all the clubs; the second a "gig race" by a picked six from all tho clubs; but last, and most interesting, the shell raco by tho senior four. Jerome Bayno was one of tho Columbia four, and Harry Ilines rowed with tho Potomacs. It really makes no difference to this story if the Anaiostans, for somo petty reason, did withdraw dur ing the last half hour before starting. Even in the crews, as in life, there will bo discord now and thou, and some fellow who cannot have his own way will not row. The Potomacs wore red, sleeveless shirts, with a white star on the breast, with blue trunks and red and whitestriped caps. The Columbias were attired in dark blue shirts and trunks to match; bluo caps. The crews took their places in the eight oared shells, and the steam launch follow ed them down to tho start to see that all took their position fairly. At tho signal tho boats shot out abreast, but soon the Ana lobtans dropped a little behind, and the raco was between the Potomac and Columbias, who kept on side by sme almost to the end of the course, the launch steaming after like a fussy duck after her ducklings, when suddenly the Potomacs spun ahead a half boat's length and won! Such a din as went skyward! Men shouted, handkerchiefs in fair hands fluttered, while boat whistles blow congratulations loud and long. As the din ceased tho launch .steamed back to the start to seo that the rowers in the gigs started fair. Tho excitement in the crowd was on tho increase when the eighteen rowers in tho "gigs" camo filing by, tho boats abreast, tho rowers Btraining every nerve to round the stake. Inch by inch tho Analostan gained a boat's length, which brought out cheer after cheer, and tho fluttering saluto from tho fair as they waved handker chiefs. The Columbias made a bpurt, which produced another demonstration of appreciative noLse. Tho Potomacs seemed to pluck up new courssc, for they shot ahead, but tho Analcstans rounded tho stake just ahead, and in time to win the victory from their strongest competitor. Cheers, salutes, whistles and a din gen erally again testified to the popularity of this success. Excitement in tho races was at its near est height. It would culminate in the four oared shell the senior four of the Po tomacs and tho Columbias. As they rowed down to the start, past tho Analostan boat house, where Lillian and Lottio bat, Lillian managed to blow Harry a kiss aud gho Jerome a salute with her handkerchief, so near tocether that these athletes scarce knew which to claim, but the "siimnl" conveyed a senti ment that shot home to the heart of "one who truly loved her," so each thought to himself. The senior four-oared shell race is always ftiOst interesting of sll, for tho very best rowers are in it. As they glided swiftly and almost silently over the course to the strt, the arms of the rowers keeping per fect timo, they looked like wines beating the water. They came Imck tl3 mg, with the launch following after, abreast the greater part of the wy. Then one gained and the other fell behind: now it ib Ana hfetftnand ntw Potomac, and Mce versa until near the finish, when away spurted the Potomacs two boat lengths. They reached the xtake amid such cheering, whittling and n-utur. of applause as made all the othrr demonstrations weak beside this ovation. Harry's crew had Won the race, and with it, he thought, a greater prize "a fair woman's heart and haud:' The man paddted leis.urelv back to their boat houses, after r hich the various crows rowed up to salute and congratulate the win mug clubs. Harry and Jerome lifted their e es one ia triumph, the otnerinsad nes to whre Lillian sat bat a moment ago but she and Lottie had gone' How unac countable that she should ha eltftso soon. Neither could understand it.ettch experi eaced a sinking of the s-pints. although Harry, with manly vanity, thoucht. "Per hps sho could not bear to congratulate roe in public Sbe will explain it all when I see her, jis I shall, in the courso of a few huurs." Tho scullers vrr-nt into "their respective boat houses for their trainers, to rub them aown at..i for the bath that always follows rowing a plunge or a douche. Now, Lillian's pa had been dreadfully scandalized when he mv his pet child through a kiss across the laughing water and flirting with her delicate handker chief. He had bun a bit "wild" in hfct youth, but all the same he detested a fiir tatioub woman, and it brought a blush of tadisnetion to bis obcak to see his dauxrfc- i ter ao mat wmen mignt Dnng criticism upon her. "Lillian," he said to her, "I am sur prised!" Lillian gave her friend Lottie a pinch on the arm and trod on her toes in a way that spoke volumes of girlish defiance, as did also the audible little giggle that followed. "Chip of tho old block, papa, dear," re plied sho saucily, and, looking up to be struck dumb with astonishment, for a pair of cool dark eyes belonging to a tall young man in a major's uniform looked down into her own. She turned a trifle palo un der tho steady but penetrating glance, which seemed to melt into hers with a brightness that brought the blood back into her cheeks. "Where did you come from, Claude? 1 thought you were miles away," exclaimed the. "My darling," he replied amid the din of victory, "I am hers awaiting orders, and will expect you to keep your promise to go with mo whenever I should como for you. Are you ready?" "I will tell you to-morrow," she retorted. Ho replied firmly, "You will tell mo to night, Bweetheart." By this time the father's attention was made aware of the fact that Lillian was not minding the scenes on the river, and he turned about to see what mischief she might be up to now. He was surprised, but never w as man gladder to see another than he, for here was a man, and a full blown major, an A. Q. M. in the regular army, whoso timely appearance would put a stop to it if Lillian had a flirtation on hand. Therefore he made haste to call his car riage, and soon the wholo party was on tho way home yes, before tho crowds began to disperse or tho rowers of the races had left the water. A promise is a promise, Sweet maiden mine, quoted tho major as he clinched his right to tho hand he had so long waited for at least two years in a frontier fort seemed a long time to him. Lillian succumed to tho inevitable. Here was a man too much in earnest to be flirted with. His masterful manner conquered. It was only one little Wi'ek after the raco that there was a picnic party held on- the heights of tho upper river at tho Potomac landing. All tho clubs sent representa tives. It is a charming spot for a picnic. Retired, picturesque and delightfully cool, situated on the Virginia shore. Each club has a resort on thee bluffs. One is called "Windy Gap," for tho breeze is always blowing fresh through the glen of the Ana lostans. There aro deep shaded woods, strangely upheaved rocks, with cascades dancing down over them, while rustic stairs wind up over the nearly inaccessible heights. On the summit, just beyond the babbling brook, there is a rustic pavilion, and hero a string baud made music for flying feet all day long. In the wood a path winds through the deep shadows to a farm bouse, where there is a good well and "butter milk" for those disposed to enjoy sylvan luxuries. Pretty much all tho Potomacs were on hand today with young wife or "best girl" to receive their guesty. Somo danced, many lounged, others, mostly couples, wandered away whero Cupid is fishing or out for a row. Or off for a dash In the billow, Or enjoj ing a book in some nice sheltered nook. With a big bunch of moss for a pillow. narry Hines and Lottie Wren were of those who walked away into the woods, and sat down in sight of tho water which shone through the foliage. When Lillian was aboent, as she was today, Harry had a way of making a kind of substitute of Lot tie, whom lie liked immensclj'. Sho did ery well as second best girl. Jerome Bayne was there too, but he took up with none. He was flirting in a snatch- ily way that exasperated the girls and made him disgusted with himself. Had not last night's Star announced Lillian's marriage to Maj. Dashitall, from Fort Leavenworth? Was it not enough to make a cynic of a saint to see a girl as much of a flirt as Lillian had proved to be? Did she not encourage him to fall in lovo with her? and had she not mado fino gamo of himself and Hines with that contract about tho race? He was "out" with all womankind through tho folly of one, and itiwardly vowed to "get even" by winning and break ing some other girl's heart. Nice, wasn't he? And how did Harry take the jilting? Wo have only to listen unobserved as ho sits at tho foot of a tall oak and talks to Lottie "I confess I was taken aback, Lottie, the night of tho race, when I called for the prize I had won. 'Oh. Harry,' said she to me. 'It was fun to see how you nud Je romo rowed. 1 really could not decide be tween 3'ou, so tho wager is off. I liko you both so much. I've only to niako love to tho one that's near when t'other dear charmer's awn. Besides, Harry, I havo been engaged for two years to Maj. Dash itall, and papa says he has como for mo just in tho hour of my greatest need, for ho caught mo flirting with you today. The old gentleman's foot is down; I am to be banished to a garrison town for life in care of tho gallant major.' "Just thiok, Lottie, of the coolness of that speech. First, sho almost makes us boys murder each other in our jealousy! Then sho makes us break our backs row ing for love of her, but for Lw to throw us both over." "You do not look so very unhappy," said Lottie, "for a fellow with a broken heart, and a broken back also." "That's it, Lottie; I am surprised at my self. I do not seem to feel it at all as I supposed I should, for I should have vowed a week ago that I could not live without her. And hero am I feeling very comforta ble and quite able to wish tho major joy. Somehow it begins to dawn on me that I should not like to havo a wife just like Lillian to tease me from morning till night. It cannot be very restful to have a companion like that. On my honor, I should feel a thousand times worse if 3011 bhould go off and get married. I trust you, and havo a kind of high respect for you that Lillian never inspired. She seemed to take us fellows all by storm. Every one of us was, or thought wo were, in lovo with her, from the president of the club, who is old enough to be her father, to tho coxswain. Now, I do not believe that you ever flirted in your life. Did you?" A moment's silence fell upon them be fore Lottio answered: "No, Harry, I never did. I think I do not cAre to say what I think! It seems disloyal to Lillian to say it, for I lovo her dearly, with all ner girl ish faults. Her beauty has made her irre sistibleto the men. She couldn't help being charming. I've heard her say she 'wished every man she met would not be gin to make love to her, if her eyes were large and black, and her mouth red red as a roo and kissably sweet,' as one fel low expressed himself by letter." Harry bent forward. "Lottie, tell me what you were going to say you 'thought' a moment jk." "Harry, 1 will; I was going to say that I never could think a delicate minded girl would flirt, or one who did, quite up to the standard of ladyhood I have set up; and yet none would ever think of calling Lillian anything but a lady. She simply charms everybody." "That's so, Lottie, and I have ao douht unless the major resorts to some sort of military discipline, she will lead him a pretty dance shut up in a ewnsoa, wih captains and lieutenants all 'dyiag of love for her.'"

"Maybe you are right. Lottie; but I know one thing now I was not in love with her at all; simply 'infatuated,' you see. It was a kind of coateat which of us should win her smiles. I know now that my fut ure happiness does not depend on tho charming Lillian's capricions smiles. It will be no fault of mine if a choicer girl that I know does not fill her place very soon in my ficklo affections. Lottie, can you guess who?" "No, I never was good at conundrums, and I cannot fathom a love that Is hot, cold and profesedly hot again within a week, aa yours, Harry, seem3 to be." "You can afford to rail at a fellow liko that, Lottie; I deserve it! We all fluttered around her like moths, but I shall not singe my wings twice at that kind of a blaze! I now know I always have or could have loved whre I trusted her friend Lottie, whom I esteem above all women." "Oh, Harry, donltl" cried Lottie, grow ing palo, with evident pain in her sweet and expressive face, giving a deprecatory cod. "Well, you may think me both absurd and insincere, but I .'m neither. You, Lottie, are the kind of t: A I ought to havo with mo always; a nice, steady, reliable girl." Lottie smiled. "Well, narry, I must say this is a novel way of wooing if that is what you intended it for; but if you really think you do know your own mind I will think about it before I answer you." After saying which sho rose and walked away. Harry jumped to his feet and followed quickly. "Lottie, what do you inean by that? Do ou really care anything for me? Say juet a little for me to hope on while you think." She wheeled around impetuously, evi dently moved, "narry, you do not deserve to know it, but I do care for you too much for my own good. I do not approve of your light ways, and will never play with feelings; mine are too deep and truo for trifling. I've always cared, but I would make no sign though it killed mo whilo you professed to love Lillian." "Lottie, God bless you! I do not deserve such love. But I will!" vaid Harry, quito overcome at the depth and power of a genuine affection. "Well," said Jcromo Bayne, shortly after, as Harry and Lottio came back to tho picnickers looking happy, "I do be lieve that that shallow pated Harry has been cured of love's wound in the same old fashion. "Off with the old love And on with the new. "Thnnk heaven, I am not made of that kind of stuff. I mean to make somo girl suffer for Lillian's sins, see if I do not." With which laudable ambition he asked May Rogers to take a turn in the next waltz. 'Tis ever so; one's life is made wiser by experience, while another finds only bitter ness in tho same; but "woo unto him (or her) through whom offenses come." Lillian's life story had only just begun. With women of her stylo it does not end with marriage. Emily L. Sherwood in Washington Post. Getting Ahead of Students. A teacher's standing frequently depends more on his ability to deal with human naturo than with the intricate problems of tho text books, and this applies to colleges as well on primary schools. A well known professor of one of our Maine colleges has always been dreaded more by tho incom ing freshman class than airy other man in the faculty. This feeling wears away somewhat during the last part of the course, but there is always an awe inspired atmosphere as thick as a down east fog bank in this man's class room, be it filled with quaking freshmen or self satisfied seniors. Jokes have, however, frequently been tried on him, since college boys are very bravo when they think their tracks are well covered, but the jokes have usual ly been found to have a double back action kick, like an old Hint lock musket. With the expectation of getting an "ad journ" from his recitation the next day some scamp one night broke into this pro fessor's classroom, and painted every scat in the room w ith fresh paint. When tho class assembled the next day the professor 6aid very blandly, "You can sit down, gen tlemen, or stand up, just as you please. Mr. A will you pleae demonstrate" etc. The class stood for the full hour, its members finding relief by standing first on one foot and then on another. On another occasion when the mercury had dropped below zero another attempt was made to get an "adjourn." Tho stove and every window was removed from tho recitation room, but the professor was found there at the usual hoar seated com fortably in his chair with overcoat, winter cap and woolen gloves on, and without ap parent discomfort to himself conducted a recitation of an hour's length, with heaven's breezes wandering uninter ruptedly through the room. Lewiaton Journal. Sunshine on "Wednesday. There is an odd superstition about tho weather which I find erv few people know of, although I have heard it since child- hood, said a St. Louistan. "It is that, however gloomy and dull it j may be on Wednesday, the sun b sure to 1 show itself, if only for a few minutes, as Wednesday was the day on which it was created.

One of the- coolest and most deliberate attempts at suicide recorded is that of Benjamin Hunter, the murderer of John Armstrong, in Camden, N. J., in 1879. Hunter was confined in the "murderers' cage" in the county jail under charge of tho death watch. He complained of chilliness one night, and was permitted to wrap his lower extremities in a blanket. He had previously torn off the rim of his tin cup with his teeth, and had it concealed in his trousers pocket. Talking on commonplace topics to his guard, Hunter secretly took the jagged strip of tin from his pocket, and, con cealing his movements with the blanket, began cutting into an artery in his left leg. The blood spurted out in jets, and the flow was concealed by Hunter spreading the blanket out like a skirt. He became so weak that he was unable to continue the conversation, and tho guard's sus picions were aroused. He made an ex amination, and found that the murderer was bleeding to death. Physicians were summoned, a ligature was applied and Hunter's life was saved. Ho was after ward hanged, and it was pretty gener ally believed that ho was dead from fright and sedatives before tho cord tightened around his neck. Now York Press. Julian Ilawthorne.
