Mrs. f:iereland andthe Cabinet Ladies Eeceive. IN THE BLUE ROOM. Jt is Prettily Decorated for the Occasion. The tfarine Band Gives a Fine Musical Programme. "Washington, Jan. 1. Probably iQ no jtber city of the country does that pecu liarly American custom of exchanging New Year'i calls continue to flourish with the same vigor a3 in the capital of this nation. In all other cities the cus tom has come to be more regarded in the breach than in the observance, In Wash Oon everybody in official life ither receives or pays calls. The president himself sets the fashion in this matter, and naturally the White House is the focus of all social life in Washing on on New Year's day. Today the blue room, always the pret iest of the White House suite, was beautifully decorated with flowers, a star shaped white blossom prevailing1 in eucli profusion as to charmingly abdue the all-prevalent blue tint jf the artificial decorations and furnishings. In the lobby just within the main doorway was stationed the full narine band, making1 a gallant show in :Sir brilliant acarle uniforms and dis coursing with splendid effect a specially arranged programme of artistic merit. The music began with the grand in augural march by Faucuilli, the leader f the band, and in order during the ceremonies followed, "Overture Fe-n" by Lortzing; potpourri, "Congress of Na ,:'ons," Sousa; a song, "Ihere is Green Hill Far Away," Gounod; I I'ue Heaven3 are Telling," Hayden; Grand Selections from L. Medeci," Le ncalvo; waltz, "Angel's Dream," Her- nan; potpourri, ''Columbia .National," ;oates; characteristic, '-The Kaiser's Trumpeter," Wollstedt; "Selections from fonaseo," Chadwick; piece character iiie, "Darkies' Jambouree," Pruner; ..rch, "The .Marine Band," Fancuilli; .tioual anthem, "Hail Columbia," yles. The first to arrive at the executive nsinsiou, were the ladies of the cabinet, "n were to assist Mrs. Cleveland in re V --g- They were ushered upstairs, f nere they removed their wraps and ere greeted by Mrs. Cleveland. The eception was to be at 31 o'clock, and at J .hat hour Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland cams 3own staira followed by the cabinet la dies, and the guests who were to stand behind the line. The marine band struck up the inaugural march as the receiving party proceeded to the blue room. Mrs. Gresham wore a gown of black and white satin. Black formed the iu-jst f the skirts which was bordered wi n .vhite satin, and this material also formed the sleeves. Mrs. Carlisle wore gray moire antique trimmed with sable and passementerie. Mrs. Lainont was in buttercup 8aim elegantly hrocaded in white with a la.e paitern. Brown velvet and lace formed a becoming collarette finish. Mrs. B.ssell wore white satin brocade with a waist in a fluffy effect of white chiffon, trimmed with pearl and silver passementeries. Miss Herbert was in a light blue satin richly brocaded in pink and finely plaited chiffon frills on the bodice. Mrs. Olney wore purple Bengalene richly embroidered and trimmed with lace. Miss Morton wore a toilet of black and white striped moire and brocade with point lace. Mrs. Hoke Smith, being in poor health, did not take part in the reception. A number of ladies, including the wives and daughters of prominent officials and personal friends of Mr3. Cleveland, had been invited to take posi tions behind the line with the receiving party, so that there was a brilliant array of handsome costumes in the room. The ladies were: Mrs. Fuller, Mrs. Schofield, Mrs. Casey, Mrs. Thurber.Mrs. McAdoo, Mrs. Walker, Mrs. Kamsev, Mrs. Chadwick, Mrs. Ileywood, Airs.

The programme had been arranged, as is customary, for the admission of the different classes of officials as ia the order of their rank. Usually the vice president is the flrst to pay hi3 re spects to the president, but this year Mr. Stevenson is south on account of the illness of his daughter. The programme arranged for the reception fixes the memb?rs of the cabinet as the flrst callers and after them will come the diplomatic corps in the spectacular arrav of varied uniforms and fh Cv tioa that never fail to appeal to the ashington populace on these cere monial occasions when a glimpse of this magnificence of foreign courts is offered to republican simplicity.

The ceremonies were simple, the new governor and his full military staff in carriages were escorted to the capital by four companies of the national guaad.. In the executive cham ber the governor-elect was greeted by the retiring governor, who was surrounded by his military staff,; after which all riroceeded to the assembly chamber. After prayer by Bishop Dijane, Governor j Flott-er extended a formal welcome to his nuccessor in office. lu a brief reply Gov. Morton compli mented his predecessor, both as a man and an official. There was nothing of partisan nature in either address. Tho oath of office was administered by Secretary of State Palmer. In the exe cutive chamber Gov. Morton received for an hour the congratulations of a great number of people, including members of the legislature and representatives of Republican organiza tions throughout the stato. Subsequently Governor and Mrs. Morton held a public reception in the executive mansion. STRONG BECOMES MAYOR. For the First Time In 22 Tears w York Has No Democratic Mayor. Is ew York, Jan. 1. For the fir3t time in 22 years a mayor not of the democratic faith is at the head of the city govern ment. William Lr-' Stroner, who was today inducted into the office, represents very much the same condi tions and social elements that asserted themselves in J872 in the elevation of Wm. F. Havemeyer to the mayoralty. In both instances there was a revolt against municipal corruption. Upon both occasions public sentiment was crystalized through the. medium of a committee of 70, the main purpose in 1872 being to overthrow the Tweed re gime and in 1894 to correct abuses, known or suspected in the police and other departments of the ciiy govern ment. THEY HAVE DONE. Coroner's .Jury Take a Week to Decide What Everybody Knew. The coroner's jury adjourned last night, and the tarce comedy of a secret inquest usurping the functions of the police, sheriff, detective force and super ior court, is at an end. No light was thrown upon the mys terious murder of Mrs. A. 3D. Matson by the ten days', inquest. .The jurors or other officers are none the jwiser for the foolish session. Coronefr Bailey at tempted to make the nature of tne ver dict a profound secret, notwithstanding a verdict in such a case is a public docu ment. "Has the jury adjourned' the reporter asKeo. "Yes," replied Bailey. "When?" "Last night" "Any verdict?" "Yes." "What was the verdict?" "I don't choose to state."; "Is not a coroner's verdict a public document?" "That may be. bat I don't wish to make this a public document until late." Th coroners verdict is: "The said jurors upon t&eir oaths do find that Mrs Almeda D.iMatson came to her death by a blow on Ihe head with an axe or some other instrument in the hands of a person or persons unknown." THEY WERE SATED. Men Drifting- Out Into the Lake Amid the Ice Are Keseaed. Menominee, Michi. Jan. 1. The three Wossnack brotheia, who were carried out into the lake Sunday by drifting ice, were rescued by fishermen sixteen miles north of here at 10 O-'clock last night. All are badly frozen and were nearly famished. Martin Wossnack, who is a cripple, may not recover. Their boat was nearly cut through, ia several places by the sharp ice. FEAR GRAZEDPEOPLL A Sharp Earthquake Shock Felt in Mexico Sunday- People in the Arben Theater Stampede With Fright. PRISONERS FRANTIC. Convicts in Bedlam Prison Try to Break Out HardlyKept from Casting Them selves Over the Walls. Mexico City, Jan. 1. At 1:53 Sunday an oscillatory earthquake shock was felt in this city and other parts of the valley of Mexico. The movement was east and north, but was of short duration. The disturbance caused great alarm from those who feared a repetition of the dis astrous earthquakes of November 2, which killed eighteen people and did great property damage. In the Arben theater, which is the only playhouse now open in this capital as the result of the damage sustained by the j willing to let me write it or would sub other theaters by the previous shocks, a mit it for my approval. This was pretty stampede occurred. Women laapei from steep, as Long hadn't the slightest the lower boxes and the audience sirug- chance of getting the nomination and gled for escape at the narrow .jsn't much of a speaker. But I agreed exits. The manager appeared on to pay him .$5 down and the balance if I the stage and tried to calm the fear-. got the nomination. But Long said ho crazed people, and at last a degr3e of quiet was restored, but not u:jtil most of the audience had taken refuge in the streew, which were full of irightened people, many of them in their uight clothes. The scene of November 2 was repeated in a large part and shousands of peni tents kuelt in the open streets and prayed and cried in a loud voice for deliverance from death. In Bedlam prison, v here thousands of wretched beings are huddled together in the prison barracks, pandemonium reigned aad the gu.irds had hatd work to prevent hundreds from breaking out of their quarters and fl.nging themiflves over tue walls. The large supply pipes to the city burst, flooding the stree's. The -disturbance was foretold two months ago by Juan N. Contre ras of Guanajuato, the ac credited and locally famous seismic prognosticator who prophesies that be tween the 30th of December and the 2.1 of January this volcanic section would be vished by another earthquake dis turbance. Con?rera8 is making his prophesies for three events in this line, and sas the disturbances will continue in gree,wr. or leas degree at periods during lSOo. HURT MYSTERIOUS. David Zilioux tVas Either IviVled by a Blow oi a Fall. San Francisco, Jan.l. David Zilioux, the Los Angeies pharmacist wiio was found in a semi-unconcious stale Sunday morning, died list evening at the receiv ing hospital. Whether the man fell and struck hia chin on the pavement, or whether the blow was delivered by seme unknown person is the problem the pol.ee are trying to s-lve. A dispatch from Los Aageles conveys the information that he left there some time ago with but lit le money. He was very poorly dr-v.ed and his condition when taken to the hospital was su3h as would lead to the conclusion that he had beeu on a prolonged spree. COMMENTS. ON LITTLE. The Sew York "Voice" Gives It Opinion of Oar Attorney General. In the last issue of the New York Voice a paragraph from the annual re port of Attorney General Little, in which he says a lot of good things about pro hibition was quoted, to which the Voice adds the following comment: "These are brave and manly words,but they are more than offset by the attorney general's recommendation of the repeal of the metropolitan police law. In this recommendation Attorney General Little is playing into the hands of would-be rumsellers, who desire nothing more ardently than the withdrawal of state aid in' enforcing prohibition. And, by the way, had the Populist leaders of Kansas been as bravo in opposing saloons before election as Attorney General Little after election, the Voice has reason to believe they would not have been defeated No vember 6." MEXICAN 110 AD BEGUN. The Mexican International to Monterey is .Being Graded. Mosclata,' Jan. 1. The contractor with his large force of graders and equip ment has arrived at Reata, and has be gun work on the line of the Mexican In ternational road that is to be built from that place to the city of Montetey. The road will give the Mexican Inter national and Southern Pacific system a direct route to the smelters of Monterey. THE FIKST TO REGISTER. The Sanitary; Force Takes Time by the Forelock. The city registration books open on the first Monday in January, but it has been generally thought that the commis sioner commences to issue certificates January 1, but this is a mi-take. 'Ihere is always an effort made by iiuni9 peopib to be the first to register, and Sanitary Officers A. Barton, W. E. Stewnrt and Nels McConnJell went to thc commission er's office bright and early t. have their names recorded. They were given cer tificates and were then told that they were entitled.to vote until nert Monday and asked to f'et up" the cigrj Colored Jlen Indorse. The colored men of Hutchinson have indorsed Revi Jordan Allen for door keeper of th house. If a majority of the members will now iodorsa him he will be all right. TOM REED'S JOKE. His Broad Platform When Mentioned for the Presidency in 1888. Washington, Jan. L Ex-Speaker Reed seems to be more seriously a can didate for the presidency than ever be fore. In 1888 he regarded such a possi bility as a joke. That year a New Eng land paper declared that the most avail able men for the Republican nomination were Congressmen Reed of Maine, Hiscock of New York, and Long of Massachusetts. "As soon as we saw this," said Mf. Reed at that time, "Long and I assem bled ourselves together, held a caucus, and agreed that the announcement, so far as we were concerned, was both timely and judicious, but we decided by a unanimous vote that Hiscock was not available, for reasons that must suggest themselves to every thoughtful and pa triotic man. 1"This action having narrowed the con est down to Long and myself, I sug gested, with the kindest and most disin terested motives, that for the sake of Jiarmony he oujht to withdraw, i "He demurred to the proposition, and did not appear to take much interest in iit until I offered to make it an object to him. I volunteered to pay him 5 in lawful money if he would agree to retire and make .a speech nominating me in the presidential convention. He replied that he was not a five-dollar man, where upon I raised it to eight. "If there is anything I despise it ia avarice. He replied that he would not withdraw from the anva and make j the speech, for less "than 415. and was never did take a contingent fee and nev- er would: so there the matter hautrs. If .he won't agree to share the risk he shan't have any of the peaches. I'm running for the presidency," con tinued Mr. Reed at that time (this was in the wiuter of 1887-8) "upon a broad and comprehensive platform, and if 1 don't get the nomination it won't be because I'm not willing to give satisfaction to people of all color, races, religions and political views. "I believe in giving every man equal rights and a fair show. I believe that it is the duty of congress to pass a judicious silver bill, and am in favor of such re vision of the tariif as shall give the capi tal aud labor employed in the manufac turing industries of the country every protection they ask, and at the same time place the luxuries as well as the neces saries of life within the reach of all. I believe that every man, woman and child should receive a pension who is entitled to it; that everv just claim upon the gov ernment should be promply and duly paid, with interest to date; that sectional strife should, be smothered in fraternal love, and that the dead issues of the war j should be decently buried at government expense. "I am in favor of applying ciples of civil service reform the prin to all tha orticea ot tne government, give entire satisfaction who are in as well who are out, and that so to as all as to those those legis- laiion mienaea to promote the prosper ity of the country shou.d be promptly enacted by congress. On the labor ques tion I am as sound as an oak saw log,and urge upon congress the passage of a bill that will settle forever and set at rest all controversies between the employer and employed "I believe that the surplus in the treas ury should remain unimpaired so far as is consistent with the financial welfare of the country, and that congress Should take such action in reference to tha finances as will bring the gra'ef.t good to the greatest number.- I hold it to be the duty of the precedent to protect the preroga tives of his office, and to haad them dowd unstainod to his succe-sor done up in tissue peper, or in a silk handker chief, and I will further say that if I" have omitted to declare my p. uioa re garding any interest repreeu,.ng a con Bid3rable number of vote3, it shall be my earnest endeavcr to amend and enlarge my platform arocriiogly. "The motto on my escutcheon is 4I strive to please,' and my aim is to merit the approbation and secure the support of all Republicans, Democrats, and Mug wumps. I desire to be considered a non partisan candidate, and would prefer that my nomination should be unani mous." SKATING IN TEXAS. Thermometer Registered Zero at One Time in the State. Dallas, Tex., Jan. 1. The temperature at Dallas all week has been below the freezing point and Sunday night touched zero. Northern visiiuis are surprised at the sudden intense cold and declare that 10 degrees above zero in Texas is felt as acutely as 10 degrees below in the north. No snow has yet fallen in this state this winter. All the creeks, ponds and other bodies of water are frozen over and all the old rusty skates have been hunted up and prossed into service by the boys. The ice on Trinity river is solid enough to hold up men, and even wagons, aud skating is good. Call t the V. M. C. A. It is hoped that business men who have not-yel seen the new Y. M. C. A. rooms will take the opportunity of calling i Bometime during the afternoon or even ing of today. A general reception for both ladies and gentlemen will be held during the evening Exetcises will be conducted in the gymnasium at various hours during both receptiot.8, DeatUor J. R. W ear. Mr. J. R. Wear died at Eureka Springs, Arkansas, last night, where he had gone to seen relief from acute kidney trouble. The remaius will reach here Wednesday or Thursday and will be interred in To peka cemetery. The funeral will take place from the residence of his son, F. E Wear, 1269 Topeka avenue, 'ihe funeral will be private. Itpnia'iiM of ThompsoB Arriv. Halifax, N. S., Jan. 1. The British gunboat Blenneim, bearing the remains of the late Sir John Thompson, premier of Canada, has been signalled and is now coming up the harbor. "GOLOViSILM Senator Stewart Says Friends of Silver Must Unite, If They Do So Success Attend Their Efforts. Will WANTS SINGLE ISSUE. That is the Only Way People's Party Can Win. He is Pleased With Declarations of St. Louis Conference. Washington, Jan. 1. Speaking of the St. Louis conference of the Populist party Senator Stewart of Nevada said today: "I am very much pleased with the following declaration of principles contained in the address of the St Louis conference: 'We insist upon the restora tion of the coinage of gold and silver as it existed prior to 1873 at the ratio of 16 to 1, without regard to the action of any i other nation and that all paper money shall be issued by the general govern- ment without the intervention of banks of issue, the same to be a full legal i tender. We also declare our implacable hostility to the further issue of interest i bearing bonds.' "Against this issue the. Republican party and the Cleveland Democracy pre l sent the gold standard, pure and simple. There is uo doubt that a majority of the people of the United Siiiies cordially agree with the St Louis Coutereuce on the declaration of principles above quoted. Unfortunately however, this great is sue is embarrassing by other subjects about which there is a great diversity of opinion. I fear it will be impossible for the People's Party or any other party to succeed in the main issue unless it is made the sole issue. The Omaha platform was made under very different i circumstances. At that time it was not known that the two old parties would unite upon the single issue of gold standard. "Both parties denied in their platform that such was their purpose and both declared in favor of the restoration of silver either by the United States atone, or by international conference. It is true that their platforms were ambig uous, but still it was claimed by the press of the west and the south that both of the old parties were for the free eoia age of silver and by reason of the posi tion of all parties, there whs very little discussion of the money question in the presidential canvass of 1S92. i "Since that time President Cleveland called an ex'ra session for the express purpose of repealing all laws recogniz ing silver a3 standard money, reducing all silver coin in existence to mere token money and adopting the gold standard. The great majority of the Republicans of the two houses of congress co-operated with tiie president m the extra ses sion and reduced the money of the United States to the gold standard. "I his union of the two old parties to mamtaiu the gold standard requires the politic 1 uoion of all who are opposed to it If that union can be effected, suc cess is est ain. If it cannot, defeat is inavitable. Tha importance attached to this OD9 iisue by tuose who are striving to esiblish a srold standard ia shown by the facility with which pariy lines are obliterated, when it is made a question Whatever may ba the separate value of the other measures endorsed by the conference they are rela tively of minor importance to the money question and as they are certain to engender an'agonism and di vide the friends of financial reform it is in the part of wisdom to insubordinate them to the main issues which must first be settled before any other reforms are possible." CONGRESS WON'T ACT. Col. R'zer Think No Appropriation Will Be Made for Irrigation. Col. H. C. Rizer, who is connected with the department of the interior, is in To peka today. He has just come from Eureka, where he has spent the holidays with his family. Colonel Rizer is very much inter ested in the subject of irrigation but he is not very hopeful of national aid. "I do not think that corgress wiil 1 make an appropriation for the cause of i irrigation," said he to a Journal report s er. "We only got 2,0v0 before and that i had to be spent over nearly two-thirds of the country and it would not surprise me if even that is cut off. 1 am satisfied that irrigation i must come, however, and that the entire west will sooner or later be put under the influence of artificial water supply. Even in the east the farmers are discuss ing the question. They do not need it often but they have their dry years when irrigation would prove very convenient" Col. Rizer leaves tomorrow for Wash ington. SAYS HE'S SAVED MONEY. Supt. Gaines Indicates How He Has Exer cised Economy in His Department. State Superintendent of Instruction IL N. Gaines said today that he was feeling very good because 'of hav ing discovered by a comparison of the reports of the secretary of state that during his two years' ad ministration he has save i the state the amount of his salary in printing for his department According to .Mr. Gaines' fieures his printing has cost the state f 1,829.47 less than was paid during the two years of Superintendent Winans' administration. Mr. Gaines says in addition to this sav ing he has furnished the' state extra printing in the way or'-blanks and diplo mas to the amount of $2,117.44, which was never before ordered through the j department or paid for by the state. The annual report of the state superin tendent will be out some time next week. TWENTY-THIRD YEAR. HUNG BY A MOB.- A. Kentucky Murderer Strung- Up to m Railroad Trestle After Being Beaten. Mt. Sterling, Ky.. Jan. L About 2 o'clock this morning a mob of twenty five men went to the county jail, over powered Jailer Best, secured the keys, and' took from the jail -Tom Blair of Morgan county and hung him to a railroad trestle in the city limits. Blair fought desperately lor hia life, and was beaten almost into insensi bility before he was hung. Blair was one of the parties who assisted in killing Capt. J. L. Bo mar in this city last February. He was cleared of the charge aud was in jail for shooting with intent to kill, a lew days ago, It is supposed that friends of Bomar were the lynchers.

An Account of the Fight Over the Refer endumites ut St. X.ouiri. The Kansas Populists who attended the national conference at S;. Louis last week are at home again, that is, all are. here who went via Kansas City. Cryus.Corning, W. H. Bennington and J. H. Lathrop have not got bac yet aud the folks who got home yesterday say the "referendum" folks are coming on the Frisco .nd Santa Fe via Cherryvale, as their passes read that way. One member of the' Kansas crowd who holds down a good state house job, in speaking of the conference, said: "You should have seen t orning, Bennington and Lathrop down there. Just think of it.. They put up at the Lindell and had rooms with bath-', and the Republican state central committee paid their ex penses. They had passes over the Sa'nt.i Fe aud 'Frisco, too, which were furnished by the committee. "Tiiey did not, how ever, cut much figure in the convention. You see we went down fixed for those fellows who are trying to palm themselves off as Populists. "Costigan went after them once on the floor, but that was all that was necessary. Fred Close was in the chair most of the time Saturday and Saturday night while the referendum questiou was up, and ho could not see them at all. They kept bobbing up all the time trying to get the floor, but it was no use. Fred couldn't see thfem." A. Fine Mhowin. in another column of this issue is given the annual report of Dr. J. B Hibben, city physician and secretary of the board of health. The article shows that Topeka has been in splendid sanitary condi tion this year, which has brought epidemics to many cities and towns sur rounding us. No schools have been closed here. There have been no epi demics. There are no cases of diphthe ria and only a few mild cases of scarlet fever. This excellent sanitary showing is largely due to the efficient and watch ful health department which believes that the best way to treat d.seaso is to prevent it and to maintain conditions that favor healtt 3Einionary Union.

A colored citizen who was misinformed announced through the Journal that the Metropolitan club would give a swell dance at Metropolitan hall New Year's eve. The party is to occur tonight instead of last night Selecting a. Hat. Attention to a few simple rules will assist any one to select from the various hats of the season one distinctly suited to her peculiar needs. People with thin, delicately modeled faces, whose chins are inclined to bo pointed, should avoid the bonnets with broad frontal trim mings or hats with wide straight brims, as tljpy have a tendency to emphasize the "pointedness" of the face, giving i6 the look of a flatiron or a wedge. Snch faces should be finrmounted by hats' with rolling brims and bonnets of high oval shape or trimming. Boston Journal. I I

Copyright, 1894, by American Press Assocla tion. "Miser Jones" that was what ev erybody called him, and the title did not displease him. Indeed it rather flat tered him. To be a miser meant the possession of money, and money was his god. There were people who could re member him as a young man arid a spendthrift, but they were very few. To look at htm one would wonder if he n "IT IS A GOOD DAT FOR ME!" bad ever been young. He appeared to be 60 years old when people first began to call him Miser Jones, and the passage of time did not appear to affect him. He was wrinkled and skinny and white haired, and men said he would have been dim of sight but for the greed of gain which burned in his eyes till they ghone like a wolf's. Miser Jones had relatives, but for fear they might want money he cut loose from them. Ho owned several houses, but that he might not take from the rent he lived in a miserable room and fared little better than a dog. He had money to lend, and he exacted usu ry. There were no days of grace for one in his debt. Prompt payment must be made, and to the last penny, and nei ther words nor tears would move him. No charity, no church, no beggar, ever extracted one cent from Miser Jones. Ho cared nothing for the trials and mis fortunes of others, and he was never af fected by what men said of him except when some one observed that he could not take his money beyond the grave. That idea alone upset him and detract ed from his happiness. He spent hours in wondering if it could not be done, iand sometimes he was on tho point of asking a lawyer to so arrange matters that his money should at least be buried vith him. The New Year dawned bleak and oold and dreary. There was a high wind, and the air was full of whirling snow, and even had it not been a holiday few I aopie would have moved away from heir firesides unless forced to. "It is a good day for me a fine day!" chuckled Miser Jones as he look ed out on the deserted streets and up at the leaden sky. "No one will disturb rue today, and I may sit down and count up my wealth. I am richer than a year ago today, much richer, but I want to know the figures to a shilling to a penny. They call me Miser Jones, but I can laugh at their sarcasm and abuse. Now we will figure. Miser Jones had bonds and mortgages and notes and a bank account. He knew the sum total within a dollar, but it was a keen delight for him to sit down and cast up interest again and add it to "SEE! I HAVE BROUGHT THE BOOK." the principal. With greedy look and trembling fingers he brought out his memoranda and- pencil and soon forgot the storm and the outside world. "So you are figuring agata, Miser J ores, closing the account of the old year and opening with the new?" The old man leaped from Lis chair with a shout of surprise. No one had knocked at the door. Ha waa alone in imp- tire room: Thd voice haJ-ome from one eeated on the opposite side of the table, bat he looked and rubbed his eyes and saw only vacancy. "Sit down, Miser Jones. Sit down while we talk together a bit, contin ued the voice as the windows rattled in the storm and a skurry of snow blew into the room under the door and reach ed almost to the old man's feet. He looked all about him in a dazed and wondering way and sat down. "The old year has ended, the new begun, Miser Jones. Human life is counted fcy days and weeks and months and years' On the tombstones of the dead you may read that they who sleep beneath lived so many years, months and days. It is meant that each and ev ery man should sit down at the begin ning 6f a new year and write the record of the old. You are an old man. You have lived beyond the time allotted to man. Your hand shakes as your fingers guide the pencil. You have been mak ing figures. Let me take the pencil and help you." "But I want no help!" protested the old man. "You have no right herel Yon were not asked to come! Leave me, or I will call for help!" "You are figuring on dollars "and oents," said the voice. ."There is a long column of figures, and I will look them over with you and help you to find the sum total. You have first recorded the sum of f300. That is money you loan ed to a hardworking mechanic and took a mortgage on his home. Misfortune had come to him and still pursues him. You hoped that more trouble would come to him, and it has. You figured from the first that you would get pos session of his home for half its value, and yesterday, when he came to you with trembling Hps and plekJd misfor tune, your heart was like stone. Today you aro figuring on your profit. "But he came to me to borrow and was willing to pay the interest!" protested Miser Jones. "Here is the sum of $750, contin ued the voice. "You lent a widow $300 on a mortgage and' foreclosed it and drove her out of her home. You figure that you made $450 on that deal. She came to you aiid wept and prayed, but you rubbed your wrinkled hands in sat isfaction. "One must have a profit when he lends money, replied Miser Jones as he looked at the figures with satisfac tion. "Here is the sum of $000. You loan ed money to the owner of a small facto ry to help start him again after he had been crippled by fire, but what the flames left you soon took possession of. Yes, you made a clean j $G00 on that transaction. I find the suim of $200 and $375 and $300, a long Column of fig ures here to show the profits of the year just ended and add toyouir fortune. Mi? ser Jones, you are a rich Iman. j 'Ye3, yes a rich manj I like to hear you S3y I am rich!" J j "But you are an old rata. You can not hope to live a great while longer. "Bat I 6hall live for yijars and years, I am not so old as you think. Don't talk to me of death. j "You are an old man, jand your time has almost come," continued the voice. "You have laid up treijsure on earth; y, w wsF- SOME ONE CEIED OrT THAT MISER JOXES WAS DEAD. Let us see what is to your credit in heaven. There is no money beyond the grave. The souls of the dead are judged by past deeds and not by the amount of gold and silver loft behind. Take the pencil, Miser Jones. It shall be left to you to make the record. Have you had sympathy for the ragged and shivering and hungry fellow men who passed your door?" "But all of them were impostors!" "Men and women have appealed to you in sickness and misfortune as one fellow man has the right to appeal to an other. How have you responded to, those appeals?" "I can't always be giving and giv ingl" "Without religion earth would be a desert and man a savaga All that is good and noble and beautiful comes from our faith in God. What have you done to aid the cause?" "It costs a great lot of money to keep up so many nrches!" sighed the old man. j "There are destitute widows, father less children and griejviug orphans, whom it is our duty to 'assist. Even a kind word to such is placed to our rec ord in heaven. Write dofsvn your credit, Miser Jones." j The old mau had nothiii to write, no word of reply. "All around you hearts have ached. Tears of sorrow have been shed. Men have oursed their God because of the coldness of the world. Have you brought a ray of sunlight to a single one one of these?" Miser Jones had no aiiswer. "What has your life been made up of? Avarioa, selfishness, greed. You have sinned against God and knan and your self. Ia your greed of gain you have throt- tied every nibble sentiment God placed in your heart ais a child. You have sacri ficed every principle that makes a man respected and beloved. You have made lnoney, but you have been pointed out as a thing instead of a man. As a hu man being you have lived to be .hated and reviled.! After death what?" "After death what?" whispered Mi ser Jones, i "The recording angel of heaven sets apart a paga in her golden book for each human beins born into the world. See! I have brought the book that you might gaze upon it. Here is your page the page on whiph your name was inscribed as a child. What do you see?" The old rrian looked and peered and rubbed his byes. Blindness -setmed to have come jto him, and in his terror he groaned alond. "Here is;the debit avarice, selfish ness, greed.j riches. Here should be your credits! but there are none. Look for them, tiend your head to bring your eyes nearer. j Today brings a new year. Today you pass from earth to eternity to stand before your God and be judg ed. This ifc the record from which ho will judge jou! I close the book!" The gale howled about the old houso and rattled hoors and windows, but Mi ser Jones pasid no heed. Men passed and repassed, soino laughing, some cursing, but he did! not look out npon them. Noon came, 'and he sat there with pencil in his fingfrs and paper before him. Tho winter! day drew to a close, and night camej down, but no light' shono from his wifidow. At midnight he sat wihere noori found him, at daylight wihere the vj-inds of midnight had blown tiie snow ujuder the door and over his feet. When! noon came again, some one opened his 41oor and cried out that Miser Jones was dead! Jfew Year's Don'ts. Don't fait to receive New Year's day with a" smiling fact-. I Don't uslfer in that day by declaring you are growing old. Don't sent word you are out because New Year's calls are out of fashion. Dou't neglect to send a bonbon box to your best girl. Don't receive an old friend gloomily on that day. Don't trust to new 1895 and slander old 1894. Don't fail to send New Year's greet ings to those far away. Don't thhik you may meet your fate in 1895. Perhaps it will be better to miss him. Don't be unfriendly. Do all the good you can, and don't slander anybody. Don't turn over too many new leaves for 1895. Don't be unhappy about anything. Be a philosopher. Don't deride the new year. Don't make the day unhappy. Don't lose your temper. j Don't fall in love. Don't declare you hate men. Don't celebrate too much. Cld Scotch Practices. At New Year's in Scotland children make calls upon their older friends and smg in front of the house, after the style of Christmas carols: j Get up, gui'e wife, and shake your feathers. Dinna think that we are beggars. We are children out for play. Gie's oor cakes an let's away. I Of a different class are the men who, wearing disguises, call begging upon heir riche neighbors and shout: Get np, guiie man be na sweer, j And deal cut bread as long as you're here. The day w .ll come when you will be dead. You'll neither care for meat nor bread. t To Set the Best Husband. i A very fpretty custom was that of tasting the "cream of the well, the first drink 'from spring or well on New Year's morn. The first pail of water slrawn, "the flower of the well," in lured positively the best husband in the j parish to the water drawer. Twall struck two neebour hizzies raise An liltin gaed a sad gate. The flower o' the well to our house gaes, An I'll hae the bonniest lad yet. A NEW YEAR'S PRAYER. Thou art our God, Redeemer and Creator; Thou art '-Our Father, dearest name of all. Great in- thy power and wisdom, in love greater. Therefore we fear not on thy name to call. Hear us, O Father, as we come confessing The sins and follies of the bygone year. Grant us forgiveness and with that thy bless ing Our faith to strengthen and our hearts to cheer. Sweeten for us each bitter cup of duty Or strengthen us their bitterness to quail. Give us to see the King in all his beauty And to behold the land which i j far off. We thank thee for our being and well being. Give us uplifting and upholding grace To serve thee here until, earth's shadow flee ing. We evermore shall see thee face to face. Buffalo News. The Little Stranger. Kevr Year's In Canada. The young Canadian on New Year's morning, after he has taken breakfast with his father, mother, sisters and brothers, wends his way to the best looking girl in the range, and as he very well knows she can't refuse to kiss him on "le jour de l'an" presents him self at her door, there to be warmly greeted-and invited to enter. Taking off his snowshoes it's easier and more "a la mode du Canadien" to climb over the crusty snowbanks than use a "traineau" he accepts, the invi tation, and as he crosses the threshold he gives the girl, for whom he has long cherished a deep regard, a couple of smacks that cause the old folks in the kitchen to question each other as to the origin- of the noise. Light drinks are served, That's what the young man does. The young girl waits. But the old folks do not forget that the day is the first one of the year. So after the work of the household is over they put on their best bib and tucker and hitch up "Monplaisir, and they start out and begin the rounds of mak ing calls, stopping at each house, the old man kissing the neighbor's old wom an, and vice versa, rinsing it down with "a la votre" from the sideboard. Conviviality reigns, good health is drunk, and alcoholism is unknown. From the time the sun first casts its rays on a Canadian New Year's morn ing until a week and sometimes two weeks later a round of jollification ex ist among the French-Canadians of good standing. Every night a dinner is held at one of the "clique," and so on till each has had his "blow out," and finally all relapse into the old rut of common everyday life, arising at the soundof- the angelus in the morning and burning very few candles and still less kerosene in the evening. What the New Year Brings. Vacant chairs. Good wishes without number. Change, but not always silver. January and all the others. Mistakes we date our letters wrong. Friends grown older and a few joy less. Bil of every description, but every one tod large. Improvements that cause wonder and questionings. Dividends without variety, all shrunk like old flannels. "The new faces at the door, the new boot on the floor." New friends? Yes, and worthy ones i too. How have we existed without them? a s fe-1 WASHINGTON GOSSIP. GOVS DEFINITE FINANCIAL POUCY MUST SOON BE ADOPTED. The Outcome m Question of Bankruptcy or Success and Bread or Want A Va riety of Opinions as to the Country's Zfeed Four Financial Plans. Special Correspondence. Washington, Dec. Washington owns to a mild surprise at the compara tive lack of excitement at the opening of the short session of congress. There was a sort of vague expectation that the defeated would come back early with fire in the eye and destraction in the' as pect and proceed to pitch into the presi dent and each other with all the fury that would naturally come from letting loose the acrimony they restrained dur ing the last session; also that the vic tors would be insultingly hilarious. In truth, a number cf the Republicans are not coming till after the holidays, and many of the Democrats write to their colleagues as if they would not come at all, while several have written to the Bergeant-at-arma to know if they could draw their mileage and stay at home. Of course he answered no. As to the de feated, instead of pitching into the pres ident and senate, most of them are anx iously asking, "How the deuce can the Democratic party be united by 1896?" And more than one old observer sorrow fully shakes his head and says that it can't be done; that the great division between the east and west must come to an open and angry rupture before that time. Congressman Patterson's "Views. It is amusing to observe how beauti fully the election figures serve to strengthen each man's favorite view, and how every Democrat who will talk believes as he clid last year, only a little more so. Hon. Josiah Patterson, genial and sociable as ever, is even more of a "cuckoo," talks far more freely and says that "the time has come for Demo crats to drop their nonsense, stand by the president and enter at once on the work of thoroughly reorganizing our financial system. The first thing to do is for us to unanimously resolve and publish it to the world as the deliberate act of congress that at all hazards this nation intends to maintain the national credit and the parity of its currency with gold. For many years now both parties have been dodging the issue, and the credit of the country will not bear further uncertainty, and neither will the people countenance any party which permits uncertpinty. The repeal of the Sherman law did some good, and the new tariff will soon justify itself, and now the thing to be desired above all others is financial certainty. A sus pension of gold payments would be tho greatest possible calamity. Ideas of Ikirt and Bjnnm. In response to questions on this point Representative Ikirt of Ohio was equal ly emphatic in favor of certainty, but held that the shortest route thereto lay in exactly the opposite direction name ly, in the restoration of silver to its original place as the money of final re demption. Mr. Ikirt ia deoidedly the most hopeful man in the defeated party. He thinks business is already improving under the new tariff and will improve still more rapidly in the near future; that the repeal of the federal election law has already been justified, and that even the Republicans will soon indorse it; that the Democratio party will be thoroughly united in 1896, and that ev- erything will be lovely and the goose hang high in the party wigwams. When the extreme views of Mr. Patterson were quoted to other western men, they promptly stigmatized him as "a gold bug hatched from Memphis mud," which would seem to indicate that they are feeling a little sore. Mr. Bynum takes gloomy views of the situation generally. He "can't see how business is to improve much. The trade in woolens and a few other things has to come up at this season, but there isn't going to be any boom. How the uischief can farmers buy manufactured goods with wheat at 45 cents, and cotton at 5 cents, and horses no sale at all?" Incidentally be adds that he will return to Indianapolis and the practice of his profession, and all interviews to the con trary are "fakes. "Watchdog" Holmao. Mr. Holman is more inclined to free 6ilver than ever and thinks the failure to do anything for it stands next to the hard times as the cause of the late revo lution. Representatives from the eastern cities come in slowly, as usual, and so far as they talk are more certain than ever that "the financial vagaries of western Democrats are ruining the par ty. V A considerable group of soathern men, of whom Messrs. Livingston, Money, and Abbott of Texas are types, say thai the president "ought not to have staved off the issue by bonds or in any other way. He Bhoufd have thrown the whole responsibility on congress and said, 'If you don't act promptly, the government paper will go to protest That would have aligned parties on this money issue last year, and we could have had it settled before the end of this session. The Democrats can afford to b"e beaten once on this issue, but fur ther temporizing will be ruin. The peo ple simply will not endure it. A.nd finally a score or more of leading Dem ocrats from the central west and south think the country is entering on another era of extreme bitterness in political warfare. The Missouri men are gener ally of this view, and with thera agree most of those from Kansas and the re gion south of these states. Very JIuth at Bea. Summing up the talk of all these, it amounts to this: "The so called finan cial policy of the government for many years has been nothing but a series of temporary expedients and artifices, eva sions and dodges. It can't go on. The country must soon decide once for all j between two policies. Either there must I be a contraction of the correiicy and a lowering of j-i, .ci, -a the gold basis can be maint.: i, t.z I the regulation of the paper rc; ':.i must be put in the hands of tLa I aulcrs, or there must be free coinage on tt9 old ratio or" some thing near it With millions this is a question of success orfcankruptcy. With millions mere it ta? jporarily at least, a question of bread and meat, and such questions are always fought over with great bittcrnais." They suggest, without definitely advising ity a western party united on free silver and national im provement of the Mississippi, and so on, and the recant U'ransiiississippi conven tion at St Loais isi supposed to be a move in tiiat direcC'on. Now, all this talk taken t getber seems nebulous and diffuse to &.rery omsatisfying degree, but out of one important fact can be deduced t at the Democrats are very much at se, and that if present condi tions are tc con tin -a their union in 1896 will be a very hai t tasi 1 to accomplish. Some of the New C tnrressmen. The defe Uect tell some funny stories about the very Hew ateri who will suc ceed them, 'but geneially contradict all scandalous reports. They say of Champ Clark that his destined successor can sing beautifully, but as for Champ "cuss ing is more in his line at present. The story that one of the new statesmen was' nominated because of his popularity as a 6oap peddler grew out of the follow ing facts: In a populous and very Demo-; cratic county a young native had read! law, gone to Kansas to practice and re turned last spring completely starved out. In dire necessity he took tho local agency for a new brand of soap and was legging it over the county when the Re publicans met to make out a ticket, a mere matter of form, as they supposed. In the convention one delegate said: "Let's put Tom B on for prosecut ing attorney. It will help him in his soap business." It was done, with a laugh. The victim smiled grimly at the joke and kept on with his peddling, not even going home to vote or making a single speech. The flood came, and he was landed in an office worth $3, 000 a year, and now the laugh is on whom? Takes It to Heart. Of all the defeated Mr. Densou of Alabama is the only one who is vitu perative in regard to his opponent, the somewhat notorious author of "If Christ Came to Congress." Besides speaking of him as a fugitive from justice and a nialigner of some of the best men and wonjen in Washington, Mr. Denson adds that the correspondent may write down any other mean thing he pleases about Mr. Howard, and he, Mr. Denson, will indorse it If the present talk is carried out in acts, that unfortunate and lone Populist will not receive even the scant courtesies of the smoking room. As to the victors, several of them re main at home to set up the pins for the coming senatorial contest, and the rest are not more than ordinarily hilarious. There was of course some mock applause for the defeated and a great many sly jokes, but victors and vanquished alike recognize that the tariff has been sud denly pushed to the rear as an issue, and that the great struggle on finance is at hand. Poor Financial Plans. There is intense curiosity as to the standing of the newly elected on silver and banking, and the so called "sound money men" are already making a care ful estimate of votes in the next con gress. Of the three extra senators to come in next month (because three of the now states have so far had but one senator each), it is stated with positivo ness that two will be goldbugs and one a silverite, but the goldbugs are not yet able to figure out a majority in the sen ate. As e really concluding any finan cial legislation at this session, I have not found even one member who is con fident of it. All the plans submitted may be reduced to four the so called Baltimore plan, of which the public has heard enough; the plan presented in Representative Walker's "comprehen sion bill, the plan of the free silverites, and that of those who advocate the re peal of the tax on state bank circula tion. In spite of their discouraging ex perience at the last session, several mem bers still maintain that the repealing act can yet be passed at this session, and that the president will sign it, because he was eleoted on a platform to that ef fect. A general summary of talk and ac tion to date amounts to this: The opin ion is almost universal that there will be no general legislation as to which there is serious difference of opinion, and all financial schemes, the Nicaragua canal and all other measures for extend ing aid to new projects will go over to the Fifty-fourth congress. J. II. Beadlji. Consulting the Fates. There are few nations and few indi viduals even that would now look to the events of chance for any knowledge of the future. A late instance of what used to be a common form of divini tion wa3 reported in one of the London newspapers at the time when' there was war between England and Ashantee. The king of Ashantee consulted his fetich men in order to find out from them what his future fate was to be and the result of his opposition to the English. He therefore, after having re sorted to various means without success, ordered two he goats to be selected and brought before him one entirely, black, the other of a spotted white color. This was done, and after due fetich ceremonies had been performed over the two goats they were set at each other. The white goat easily overcame and killed his opponent Koffee Calcalli. after this test was satisfied that he was doomed to defeat at the hands of the white man. He im mediately sent an embassy to Sir Gar net Wolseley to sue for peace. Bapid Firing Makes Chins Hot. The heat developed by the firing of. heavy guns is remarkable. During some recent tests at Sandy Hook a gun that had been fired 75 times melted solder placed upon the chase, while another was hot enough to soften lead, indicat ing a temperature of 600 degrees F. i 5

SSTThe STATS JOURNAL has the handssmest and most complete we'b ster eotype perfecting prsss. dEastem oSca, 73 Tribune Building, iTew York, Perry Lukens, Jr., manager. The Topeka Journal, tells of a woman "who Darrowly escaped (loath at the hands of the horse." Kauais City Mar. TLls delightful "bull" was perpetrated by a corning paper here, and attention was called to it by the Journal, Senator Allison says that unless there shall be a large increase in imports sooa It will be necessary to issue more bonds to meet the current expenses of the gcv ment. Doesn't Senator Allison know there is no law permitting the issuing of bonds for such a purpose. That is not what the bond are issued for. They are issued to maintain the gold reserve. Ex penses, indeed! Owixotothe fae: that the govern ment's expenditure's have been largely in excess of its income for a long time, the imprassion hus obtained a foothold in acme quarters that Mr. Carlisle ha3 beeu selling bonds to meet this large and growing deficit. As a matter of factth6 proceeds of the bonds have not been used in that way at all nothing of the sort Tha government's expenses aro paid in the greenbacks which the bankers trade to the treasury for gold with which to buy bonds. The Washington correspondent of the St. Louis Republic says: The fact is that the average Populist who has appeared in Washington in or out of congress has been little short of a mental freak or an ordinary crank. Only three Populists have made any impres sion gu congress or in any way won the respect of those with whom they have come in contact. These three are Sena tor Allen, of Nebraska, Jerry Simpson, of Kansas and Lafe Ponce, of Colorado AU n is a pretty able man, extremely radical in bis views, a fair lawyer, was a good judge and will size up as an ordinarily capable legislator. If be had lived in England in the days of the commonwealth he would have been a follower of Ludlow rather than of Cromwell. Allen is an honest man and has the courage of his convictions. Jerry Simpson is perhaps, taking him all in all, the ablest of the Populist congressional contingent. lie is not an extremist, lie is in the main in accord with the tenets of the Democratic party. He is level headed. lie makes a good speech. He has been a studious and careful commit teeman. He enjoys the respect not only of members on both sides of the house, but of everybody who has watched his career and has coma into personal con tact with him. Lafe Pence of Colorado is the most brilliant man the Populists have sent to congress. He is a silver tongued orator in more ways than one. His oratory is always on tap in advocacy of the free coinage of silver, and his voice has that sweet, soft, penetrating sound usually denominated "silvery." Pence is a capable lawyer, an excel lent debater, a hard student, conservative on most things and only radical on the question of free coinage. Mr. Pence easily takes rank as one of the dozen best speakers in the house. He is really a Democrat with a very thin veneering of Populism. All ti e other Populists sent to congress have beea more freaks or nobodies. GOOD ADVICE TO MORRILL. Atchison Globe: E. N. Morrill of nia watha, has a great opportunity. He was elected governor of Kansas because he waa considered an honest, conscientious business man, not because he was a pol itician. If bis administration as governor is based on the principles that have gov erned him as a citizen of Hiawatha, he will accomplish a great deal of good, and largely increase hia present popularity. On the other hand, if he accepts the ad vice of politicians, he will be rated as a politician, and at the end of his term there will be dissatisfaction which may result in Populist supremacy again. Too much politics caused the Populist uprising two years ago; too much politics will cause another like it There is a disposition all over the country to get rid of poli ticians, and to trust public affairs to men like E. N. Morr'll of Hiawatha; men who have conducted their own business intelligently, and whose conduct as citi zens has been good. The politicians of New York have just been humiliated; it is well established of late years that tho people are not wedded to parties as they once were, and they will promptly rebel on occasion. There are plenty of abler politicians than Gov. E. X. Morrill, but few better men than E. N. Morrill of Hiawatha. He can succeed better as E. X. Morrill of Hiawatha than as Hon. E. X. Merrill, late congressman from the First Kansas District. His Hiawatha principles will pay him better durirfg the next "two years than his Washington principles. KANSAS PARAGRAPHS.

How terapus does fugiti McPherson Republican:' It is terrible to think how often a certain girl who lives near Mcfherson has been kissed. She has recently broken her third en gagement. Atchison young me n don't like it be cause they are asked to bring certain girls to parties. Atchison young men think the "derate h a girl" style ia just the proper thing. Prose writers are never content until they try their hand at poetry and now Independence thinks because she has been so successful with gas wells she can give an opera.

THEY LIKED IT. A Large Audienoe Saw "Ia Old Ken tucky" Li--t "igh.t at the Graod. 'In Old Kentucky" was greeted by a large audience at the Grand last night and gave general satisfaction. "In Old Kentucky," as a play of the life of a particular locality is certainly as true to it as a play can be. Every char acter is played with an unswerv ing regard for realism and Miss Evans in her part as Madge Briarly carries it to the acmo even at the cost almost of her favor in the eyes of the audience. It is a splen did piece of acting, nevertheless, and old theater goers will recognize It any where. Miss Evans has studied her part care fully and a theater man who sat in the audience last night said that he consid ered Miss Evans superior to any of the other women who had ever played the part She sacrificed her own individuality to the part and every line she speaks be longs to Madge Briarly as the author knew her. Certain it is that Miss Evans delighted the audience last night. Burt Clark who plays the part of CoL Sandusky Dooliule, is the ma wi t cre ated it in Xew York city years ago. Walter Edwards is good' as Joe Lorey. Frederick Ross as Frank Lawson is not up to the average. He has the manner isms of a popular price actor that might have attended Gustave Froh man's school of acting for awhile Frank Jamison was good enough as Horace Ilolton and so was Chas. Webster aa Xeb. Florence Robinson as Althea Layson is pleasing and Louise Closser as Bar bara Holton is good enough, though it is her first seasou out. The play is a good one. The author has said a good many bright things in it. When Madge Briarly said "society ain't what it's cracked up to be, nohow," there was loud applause from people who do not move in society circles. There were also several nice things said to please the society people. The ecenery the company carries is probably better than that any show car ries that visits Topeka as a regular thing. There were three horses on the stage last night and one of them became un manageable just before the race and backed through a scene. Miss Evans, who has confessed to being nervous about the racing scene, was directly in the way and as she skipped across the stage like an a row she said, "Oh, no, there isn't any danger in horses." Miss Evans made her Hying leap las night all right although her hand is stili s Te and she keeps it bandaged.

Meeting of the; State Federation of Labor Here. SOME LAWS THAT ARE WANTED, Principal Among Which Are an Eight Hoar Law That Will Work-Other 31 a tier a. The Kansas Federation of Labor met at 10 o'clock this smorning in Trades' As sembly hall on East Seventh street There are more: than thirty delegates here representing the trades unions of the cities throughout the slate. The meetings of the, federation are secret. The Federation" will decide upon the legislation which will be advocated be fore the legislature by the legislative committee. The Federation is largely responsible for the passage of the eight hour law, but it is not satisfied with the operation of that measure. '"The law ssems to have a looptiole for every con tractor in the state," said a prominent trades unionist today, "and we want those loopholes taken out. What is the use of having tho law at all if it does not have the effect intended.'" Another thing the federation wants is the legalization of contracts made with apprentices, As it is now the apprentice makes the contract when he is under age and he can not legally be held to its pro visions because he is a minor. The Fed eration would like to have the contracts made binding, so that a boy will not be able to abandon a trade half learned. The Federation will also have some thing to say about the scope of the la bor bureau. It doesn't like the way La bor Commissioner Todd has behaved and thinks he has got outside the bounds of his duties, so the Federation thinks one of its members should take Todd's place, and the secretary, J. G. Samuelson, ia anxious to:do so. Three of the prominent delegates are: L. A. Hart, of the Labor Record of Kan sas City; C. B. McElroy of the Salt Workers' Journal cf Hutchinson, and It E. Davis of the Leavenworth Labor Chronicle. The officers of the Federation are: VVm. A. Doidgo of Leavenworth, presi dent; L. A. Hart of Kansas City, first vice president; W. A. bnyder, second vice president; J. G. Samuelson, secretary; P. E. Cook, Topeka, treasurer; F. L. Whitaker, Topeka, statistician. The Federation adjourned at 11:30 to 2 p. in., after appointing standing committees. The work will probably be finished this evening. THREE IN A HOW.

OTHER STATE NEWS. Grave Robbers Steal Body of a Lawrence Colored Woman. Empobia, Jan. 1. The people of Allen aud vicinity are working hard to secure the formation of a new county out of part of Lyon and Wabaunsee counties. The plan which has been proposed is to take a strip about twelve miles wide and twenty milea long from the north end of Lyon and eight miles wide and twenty miles long from the south of Wabaun see, making a territory about twenty miles square, which shall be named Wiser county, after J. P. Wiser, the owner of the Wiser ranches, six miles north of Allen. The town of Allen ia in nearly the center of the proposed county. The Allen Herald is a vigorous cham pion of the proposition and brings for ward "clinching arguments." The Allen town company offers to erect and pre sent suitable buildings for county pur poses without cost to the taxpayers. The Herald says more than 1,000 names have been attached to the petition arid meetings are being held through the section involved favoring the new county, with speakers who show that it would be to the advantage of the people. It is understood that representative Moss will favor the measure. Allen, Ad mire and Bushong will be in Wiser county with chances for the county seat in favor of Allen. The proposition will be opposed by the remainder of Lyon and Wabuunsee counties. GRAVE ROBBERY AT LAWRENCE. The Bodj of a Colored Woman is Ex humed and Taken Away. Lawrence," Jan. 1. The sexton of Oak Hill cemetery discovered that the body of Carrie Carter, a colored woman, had been exhumed from the grave in which it was placed a week ago last Sunday. The woman carried a life insurance, and from the circumstances of her death the insurance company would not allow the body to be buried until after a post mortem had been held. Two theories are advanced as probable causes for the theft. One is that the body has been secured in the interest of the insurance people; the other that the stolen body was wanted by medical stu dents in Kansas City who were acquaint ed witn the case. K V.

The dull winter's day was drawing to a close when Marianne de Courvoy came home from the cemetery whre the remains of her fiance, Jean do Themgnes, had been laid. This brilliant young man,' the eldest son of the family whose naxntf he boi, died from the effects of -a hunting accident at 88 years of age, and on tbejeve of h mar liage ardently desired by alLxmcerned and one that eeenied to combine) all the, condi tions of happiness. 4 Marianne sank down -In; a state; of ex haustion on a sofa in the. dfawing; room. Her strength was exha'Jstd. So$ many overwhelming emotions hCd completely prostrated ber, and she fainted away. The careful attention of loving bands brought her back to consciousness, "y-'hen she swore to God to bury her 20 ye&ra.iia the borrows of a voluntary widowhool nd in the sol emn duties of eternal fidelity to the mem ory of the past. The resolution that Mile, de Courvoy had formed and had cmmu nioated to her family did 'not take ong to make itself known generally to the' world. Among people who did hot know her well she found only unbelievers. Her fa ther and mother alone believed in l er res olution, for they knew her 5 firm will and the energy and singleness of her soul. They were convinced that as the willow of Jean de Themines she would wpt her widow's weeds forever, so much convinced, Indeed, that they made noi effort to com bat her resolution. J During the year that followed the death of her betrothed Marianne' receiv&d two proposals of marriage. She rsfusedj them. A third who arrived upon the scf-ne re ceived the same treatments Her leisters married, and their marriag furnished an opportunity to test somewhat the strength and depth of the young widow's Resolu tion, but ehe remained unchanged.: 'I am a widow," she mid, "andja wid ow I mean to rema'n." Kvtry six ibontha she spent a few weeks with jean's rfiother, who lived since his death in retirement in the chateau of Themines. When she returned to hers parents after these periodical absences, sfee showed the same disposition to remain fdngle, and by degrees the conviction at wich the world had laughed was accepted as serioua and final. It was believed that Mile, de Courvoy would never marry again: j

Mme. de Themines had a second 6on, Pierre de Themines. He waa younger than Jean and was now at the agaut which his brother had met death in the hunting field. i Marianne did not know )iim. Aft the time when she was betrothed to Jean he was away in Asia on a voya je of explora tion, and although after jhis brother's death he had signified hi intention cf coming home for two year) he had been detained by the delays of a 'ong anil diffi cult journey. His mother vcas still wait ing for his return. She awaited his arrival with impatience that was the more keen be&use she had not been able to console herself for the death of her eldest son or tij fill t6e void caused by that loss. Her: g.jief was only partially alleviated when elje was able to talk of Pierre, her second 4on, in whom all her hopes were now centered. She hoped that soon after his rcjurn home he would marry and by his mjirriage: bring back to her hearth and horn) some of the joy and light that Jean's d$atb had over shadowed. Marianne was almost the inly person to whom the old lady had confided this hope. Sho was the person to whom? In preference to all others, she spoke of tle absent one. Sho would praise his excellent qualities of heart, hia personal appearance and his character. "He is the exact image of his brother," she would often say. Marianne heard so much about ?ierre, road so many of his letters? saw h's pic tures and heard his praise s often jind so loudly sung that she begnnvto feelian In terest in him, although she Bad never seen him. She began to form iw her iiiind a picture of wnat he should tab if hi char acter and appearance had been; truly drawn. But in this interest she felfc for the ab sent Pierre was no trace" of the love she had conceived for Jean. She mere?y pro fessed for Pierre, without knowing him, the affection that she was Ibound to feel for everybody who had lolled or fcnown Jean. She looked upon hefself iri some sense as his sister, and -eho would have protested strongly against? a'iiy suggestion that the character of her affiction for this unknown brother could change into love. One evening while she-wiis staying .it the chateau a letter camo announcing the arrival of Pierre in the cbi&try. It was followed two hours later bjj Plcrr him self, j J "You will see him, and ou wiM love him," said Mme. de Themines to Mari anne. I J She attached to these wotfds no Special meaning, but when he came'intothi room she was overwhelmed. Mme'de Themines had not exaggerated when .she said that Pierre was the image of J eaP. Marianne thought that she saw before her the old lover alive from the dead. The same face, the same hair, the same frame and build and the same manners. She listened for his voice. It was the voice of the dead man, and in the accent and turn be gave to them it was as if 6he we-re ao tully in the presence of the dead Jean and listening to hi3 words from the grave. This interview resulted In :an attack of prostration. On the following day she knade hyrried preparations to go away, as if some danger threatened her. But Mme da Thymines vould not allow her to depait. "If you go away now.'l sle saidrf"you will throw a shadow over $h joy I feel as the return of my son. "14 So Marianne did not go aay. Ic spite of her alarm there soon took place in her a transformation that, unknown to hferself, resulted in the awakening of hope that she would not admit. j Once again she experienced In Miking with Pierie the charm that she had: loved so well with his brother Jean. 1 With the help of this illusion herfheart opened and warmed once again witH love. One day Mme. de Themines came' up to her and whispered in her eai? "Pierre loves you, my Jes girl, i Love him." She did love him. Now 4hey are.' mar ried.

Charming Bit of Fancy Work for Bright foung Girls. A charming little basket that might well be called the traveler's basket can be made from heavy colored linen. If any of you girls are in doubt as to what gift you can offer to mamma or to your sister, thils pretty trifle will help to solve the problem. It is so simple that any of you can make it, and it is both convenient and attractive when fin ished. It becomes a dainty little basket with pockets for buttons, thread, and all a needlewoman's par aphernalia when it is hung1 from a hook, and it lies perfectly flat when the string is let out. "Hence it is easy to pack, and; takes up no room in the trunk, for which reason it is a traveler's friend, and so deserves its second name. Heavy linen, either blue, old-pink, or sage-greeri, makes the best material of all, and you will require just three quarters of a yard of the twenty-four or twentjseven-inch width, and half a yard of the thirty-six-inch width to cut all the parts. The basket consists of three hexagons, as the diagram shows, and its success depends entirely upon the neatness and exactness with which you do the work. Cut the three pieces carefully, and let the largest measure fifteen inches from A to B; the second, thirteen from C to D; and the third, eleven from E to F. Then you will find that each THE FINISHED BASKET AND DIAGRAM. hexagon is one inch smaller all round than the last. When they are all cut, scallop the edges of 'each with white silk, and work a row of fine tree-stitching with in the edge. When that is done the basket will be ready to put together. To do this, first lay the largest piece upon the tjfble, and the second in size upon it, so that the points fall mid way of the. straight edges of the first, as the diagram shows. When you have adjusted it exactly baste it into place, then stitch it fast to the larger piece along the dotted lines, or from the points 1, 2, D, 3, 4, and C to the center. Then on these two lay the third and1 smallest piece in the same way, and again stitch from each of its points to the center; but take care to sew through only the upper two. The under piece must be left free. When all the pieces are in place, and all have been stitched, sew a small brass ring to the center of each of the 6ides of the smallest hexaaron, and through them run either a silk cord or a narrow ribbon. Whichever it may be let it be a little longer than the com bined distance between the rings, and when you draw it up and hang it upon c hook, ycfu will find a perfect basket like the one the drawing shows. The directions may sound slightly complicated, but if once you begin you will find the work as simple as can be. The pockets formed by drawing up the cord are deep and quite sufficiently aenple; together they will hold the ma terial for many hours' work. The one drawback to leaving the string free is that the basket must always hang. If you simpl knot either the ribbon or cord after xt is drawn up it can be more easily carried about, and the basket can be placed upon a table if desired. It Is designed to hang, and always looks prettiest iq that position, but the abil ity to change so useful an object from place to place is always a convenience, and for that reason it is wiser to knot the ribbori or cord, Harper's Young People. i Patching the Table Linen. Tablecloths, unless the breaks are quite small, should be patched when holes appedr. First baste a square of the same material under the hole, then cut the eotges of the hole even, turn under and them down to the patch as neatly as possible. Then turn the cloth on the wrong side and hem the patch dowi to it in the same manner. This adds !a neat finish to both sides, and the clojth will be flat when ironed. If there is figure, stripe or any given pattern trj and match it when patch ing. Always mend before washing, for you cajnnot d'o so well afterwards, as the washing and ironing stiffens the edges of the tears. The Newi'TEAfTs THE UNWORTHY TOOK. What Shall Be Done With Them and Their Children. (A New Year's Study.) "Charity suffereth long, and is kind," yet even charity has a few grudges, necessitating the companionship of stoi cal prudence in her ministries She has a grudge against the man who begs tluently with tears, and then barters her good gifts for liquor. She has a grudge against uncovered floors and unmatched garments. She has a grudge against the woman who throws away soiled clothing, to save the wash ing, and begs more. Another against the chronic drone, and unbounded Indig nation for beggars whose boast ia their evasion of social laws. .And now is charity in a quandary: These classes are here with us, and here to stay, "until death do us part" she de spises to encourage their vices by helping them to live on in such manner she dare not let them die. Should she let the vilest profligate die of hunger, humanity would discharge her at once. Yet year after year these parasites are sapping the very life from her legitimate charges. Year after year anathemas are pronounced on her for helping the unworthy.They whose bounty she disburses have said: "Ihis is for the worthy poor," therefore it is the property of the worthy poor. The some times gifts for the suffering- poor will not suffice. Charity decides she must be just and let the thriftless and immoral suffer the reward of their own doings. Then the wretched, pleading faces of the children of these break her resolu tions. Her indignation is then kindled against parents whose vices subject their offspring to such misery and cuntempt. Straightway marches up a long line of "might-have-beens" and "perhapses." She sees the gaiiing chains of igno rance, misfortune, inherited imbecility! She sees, too, that with their: undevel oped, maiden strength they cannot rise above their environments. They cannot cope with modern thrift and intelligence. As they are "crowded out" of the citv to the most miserable sub- u; bs, so they are "crowded out" of all social and industrial life.. Charity knows some lamentable causes for all this in the short sightedness of our city fathers in other y;3ars that may not. now be named. They might be helped. They are susceptible to good influence. Charity remembers once see ing two puny little mnles tugging vainly at a great clumsy vehicle mired in a slough. From the highlands came a strong team and a strong-hearted man. And now she is looking for the strong hearted man and the strong team to help out the black-listed poor who' are ready to perish. There is abundant help in our city churches and clubs and societies if it would only come out. Soms work in this line is being done. The strong hearted man might have stayed ia hia house and the strong team in the barn and pitied the weak mules under the lash until they perished in the mud. L. E. T HOKPE. Prof. C.

The Countess of Aberdeen, pf-esident of the interna tional council jf women, has been in vited, to attenoj, and the national coun cils of France, Oermany, Belgium, Can ada And other (countries may be repre sented by delegates. The first triennial session of the coun cil; was held in (Washington in 1891, and the second session would have occurred in 1894 but fcr the World's fair. As thti officers of t.ie national council were overburdened tvith the work of the world's congre s of representative wom enheld at thejfair in 1893, they were imatde to prepare for the regular trien nial session of phe council for 1894, and it :was consequently adjourned until i8&r 1 IVlrs. May Wright Sewall, president of ihe National Council of Women of the United States, s a native of Milwaukee, and her father, jPhi lander Wright, a Mas sachusetts man was one of the first set itleMiSof the Creim City. She was gradu ated j from Nofth western university in ;lS60j, received! the M. A. degree five year later anc began teaching school. !Tb,e I discrimination against women in ibusitiess and ill education early attract iedhfer attention, and one of her first true jgrleijs was that! she could not enter Yale scojldge, as her father had done. In 1872 she imarried Jjjlwin W. Thompson, a teAcher of Paw,paw, Mich. He was an jinValid and diid three years later. In !l874j she became teacher of German in ithe :jIndianapois high school and upon .resigning in :i880 received a vote of ;thaiiks from the school board for her conspicuously successful work. The same yefir she became the wife of Theodore L. Sewall, a Harvard gradu ate, and they Opened a classical school for girls and boys in Indianapolis. It was: a great fiuccess, and Mrs. Sewall ;still conducts tjhe school for girls. Since 11874 Mrs. Sewall has been prominently identified wita numerous movements 'for the betterment of woman's condi tion. The naijies of the societies with .which she is identified would of them- iselvi's fill half ia column. She believes (that;; all avenues of culture and useful 'nessi should be topen to women, and that jonce; this is dope the law of natural se lection may bq trusted to draw women ;to those employments only for which jtbey are fitted.! j ,Her first putjlic appearance in reform !wrk outside of local efforts was a dele gate! to the suffrage jubilee convention jin! Rochester lb 1878. In 1889 she at- j tended the international congress of i women at the Paris exposition asadele gate from America and delivered an ad dress in Frenclj on 'The National Worn- :an7s Council of the United States,' 1 which was hifchly praised by French Jscholars. She is a strong, eloquent, log ical speaker ora the platform and is rec ognized as one of the ablest "advanced women" in America. i 'I WOMEN AND THE BALLOT.; Claim That Without It Tbey Can zert Influence at the Polls. j Mrs. Eleonora Kinnicutt of New York, who is not a 6rffragist, but' who has ac-. complished important legislation for the benefit of the city, has a suggestive ar ticle in Th8 Century, in which she jsays: Now that the New York constitution al convention of 1 894 has refused ti rec ommend that the word "male" be sfrick en from the constitution of the stAte, a dispassionate word on the, subject! may perhaps find a gracious hearing onj both Bides. Many of the womenlwho opposed the introduction of woman' suffrage dif fered from those who advocated it more in premises than in conclusions. Iia the heat of debate many misunderstood and misjudged each other, because they were arguing from different standpoints. One took the side of abstract right; the other of concrete reasons. One" Galled the present condition of women slavery; the other termed the proposed condition enslavement. But upoztwo pointssmost women were agreed; that the politics of the country, as now managed solely by men, offers a wide field for experfmens and- improvement, and; that, whatever share in the affairs of the Estate women ask to have given to themi it is tre de sire of none to sacrifice to ii the duties that are distinctively feminine. j Universal man suffrage is heje to stay. We cannot do away with the: evils that accompany it; we; rnjnst thesefore try to overcome them, rejoicing all the while that the great experiment is being made in a country where the chances are in favor of success. And what better way is there of making this succeis ap parent and permanent thaii by the intel ligent and public spirited women 6f the country, through their good judgment and watchfulness, helping the intelli gent and public spirited men tc hold their own against the strength of Jmere numbers a task that is daily increas ing in difficulty? If women will only assume, at election times, ithe responsi bility of making the men of their house holds register and vote, and bf guard ing, as far cs possible, against careless ness and indifference in Ilia nuitterj they will render a valuable service tb the state. j t If the vote of the present day ws;re to be doubled by opening th$ sluice jgates to all women, we could direct ly clivide it into four parts; tho educated me'a and the educated women; the ignorant men and the ignorant women (the wort) "ig norant" seems best to represent thfeper- verso and the unlettered). Why afe we not distinctly better 'off looking 4t the question still from a numerical stand point, and never iorgettiag lor i mo ment that our government! is, as Etr- Ja cobi clearly cmphasizesi a "government by public opinion" if, by uniting the vote and tho influence of the two higher groups, we make the hard struggle not a struggle of two against two, But of two against one? f The suffragists assert that womea will not take part in public affairs Unless they are rewarded with the franchise. This is a statement that women, by their disinterested, impersonal work injevery direction, are daily contradicting. W hat they do need, before in number they be come the political helpinates 6f mpnj is the conviction that they can learn; to be helpful, and that their help is needed in the body politic. This; they havepeyer been taught seriously, j Ajid wheij tiiey set to work to find out hovi they caii best make themselves useful, they wili dis cover that it is only by ia mastery of hard, dry facts, and by; the onwary pro pelling power of disinterested ifforit,that men in politics attain the best results. The so called "coaxing"! and "whee dling" power of women, supposed, to be in such force and favor vith'merj, and sometimes used as an ill hatiired itaunt by one kind of woman, to another kind, is an overestimated power, j Men cah usu ally bo coaxed into giving away) only that which they themselves do toot j:alue.

It was a case of tables turned.! The mis tress, a woman of social diistiriction, presented herself for enrollment. The man who asked her the necessary ques tions did so with more? of the airy than was tajs wont. He asked her namij) with judicfal abruptness. Place of residence, birth, time in the county and states, etc., were run down with almost j:ruel firm ness. After she had gone therejwas a trifle more color in her lips than jasuaL The man who had questioned hfer was her coachman. Chicago Tribunal A Worthy Example. At the outdoor sports in which the students at our women's colleges in dulge, there are no such rough manners, savage struggles or horse play as there are at those in which the students at men's colleges indulge. The stalwart young fellows of Princeton and Yale would gain instruction by observing the athletic sports and games of the gentle young damsels of Wellesley and Yassar and Smith. We don't want the boys to be girls, or the girls to be boys, but we desire that the boys shall be not less re gardful of the amenities than are their eistera. New York Sun. 5

"I wish yoti would giye up tihe notion, Matilda. It's ag'inst the Scriptures, and It ain't right," said Caleb Brciwn to his wife. j "It ain't ag'inst the Scriptures to only them that won't believe. If tha Lord has revealed the day of his coming to the faith ful ones, doesn't it become them to be ready? Ain't that Scripture, Caleb Brown?" i The next night there was aj meeting, and Caleb went to it. The eljler waxed eloquent as he described the gloHes of the ascension and the terrible destruction of the impeuitent. Women sobbed hysteric ally, and children clung to their parents in fear. i ''He's orazy's a loon and oujgbt to be shut up," thought Caleb. I Mrs. Brown was very quiet aJl the way home. I "1 don't want to leave you "behind, Ca leb," she said as they sat before; the fire. "You'll never need to if you don't leave me till you go that wayj he replied. All tho next day Caleb; seemed more disturbed than ever. IIh ileancd on the hoe handle when at wcrk and talked to himse.'f while milking. He bad faithfully tilled his farm, although Mrs. Brown had protested ugainst the .waste of; labor, as they would not netii the prod&ct.a. She did not dry apples nor make preserves as usual. "It'll be dry eating without them next winter," said Caleb. He milked the cows that evening, think ing aloud, as usual. ''I think he" meaning the elder ''won't be In tonight, and I'll speak to Matilda about it. She always was a little mite jealous of Sophy James, though she was not so much to blame, afer all, for wanting to get married. .No troman is. They are better off, I say.": Caleb went into the house with the pail of milk and ate his supper as usual. Mrs. Brown washed tho dishes anjd drfcw her low rocker up to the sewing table. The even ings were chilly, and a bright fire burned in tho fireplace, its ruddy glow eclipsing tho tallow candle that burned on the sew ing table. "Matilda, when Is that ascension to como off?" asked Caleb. "The 88th that's three weeks from to morrow and we ara going over to Hem lock hill to watch for the Lord's coming from there. 1 do hope yOu'll be ready, Ca leb." "I'm ready now without going over to Hemlock hill," replied Caleb, "but there is one thiug I wish you would do for me before the timo comes." "What is it?" she asked. i "I wish you would learn Sophy James how to cook. I calculate it's going to be quito a space of time between 'the ascen sion and the destruction of be world. The Lord warned the Sodomites several times, and I guess he will do as much for us. Now- I don't want to live here alone, and no woman can cook as you do without be ing learned." "You've always had good victuals, if 1 did cook them," interrupted Mrs. Brown, not yet seeing the drift of Caleb's remarks. "I know it, Matilda, and I don't find any fault, only as you are going away I wish you would lenrn Sophy. She is a good housekeeper, but not much of a cook, so I have been told. I think of getting her to come and live with me after you go. "Caleb Brown!" Matilda let fall the white robe she was sewing on and stood before him. "You'll wait till I have as cended before you bring another woman into the house, a simpering old maid like Sophy James!" "Sho ain't to blame for being an old maid, Matilda. Sho has tried hard enough to get married, and I thought you would raihir have her than a young woman. I had." "You won't need to get anybody for the present," said Matilda. No more was said that evening. Caleb went out to the baru and then took down the Bible for prayer, as was his custom. Mrs. Brown was too excited to talk or sleep. She went around the houso the next day more absorbed even than Caleb had been. She went to the front room closet and took out her best china. An uncle had given it to her on her wedding day. Not a piece had been broken or cracked in her 20 years of housekeeping. She lifted ono of the shell cups. "Sophy James!" she said scornfully. "It will be a long time before she uses my dishes if she waits for me to ascend. They would get married before I was oi t of tight, continued Mrs. Brown, forgetting for the moment the terrible destruction that was to fall upon tho impenitent. "It is a wonder to me he didn't marry her years ago, and he would have done so, only she wouldn't give him a chance to do his own courting. Caleb was always a mas ter hand to have his say." Mrs. Brown went back to the kitchen and sat down with a very sober face. She began to cry, and she rocked and sobbed spasmodically, like a tempest that passes over and returns. Caleb came in for a drink of water. "What's the matter.Matilda?" he asked. "To think," sobbed Matilda, "that you should want Sophy James to keep house for you while I am living!" Caleb did not hoe any more that morn ing. In the evening a neighbor called on her way to church and found hita and his wife busy paring apples. "We are not going this evening, said Mrs. Brown. "I am behind with my pre serving, and Caleb is helping m par j ap ples so I can make cider apple sauce." "Mis' Brown," exclaimed the neighbor, "you ain't a-goin to backslide jest as the timo is drawin nigh, air you?" "I am going to take my chances with Caleb," answered Mrs. Brown. The neighbor went her way and report ed Mrs. Brown's backslidden state. The next night the elder called to expostulate with her. Caleb was chopping peppers, and whether it was Mrs. Brown's lost dtate or the pungent odor of the peppere that affected the elder he could not tell. His tears and pleadings were all in vain.- No vision of glory or destruction was ht If so real to Mrs. Brown as the vision of Sophy James laying the table with her best china. "I hav8 made up my mind to take my chances with Caleb," was all ehe would say in reply to the elder. "I guess, Matilda, We will stand just as good a chance as the ones that have re pented for a season, seeing we have be longed to the church and tried to do our duty for twenty odd years. It's only the time we'll be mistaken in anyway," Caleb would add. The next spring, i when Mrs. Brown cleaned house, she found the unfinished robe. "1 will give it to ifancy to make over for the children- It's good muslin and will make them pretty summer dresses. I don't eee how I came to believe such non sense in the first place." Caleb died years; ago. Matilda still awaita the Lord's coming, but not as ir tho former time. Exchange. A? LOVER TO HIS LASS AFTER READING THE MEDICAL PRESS. Take, oh, take those lips away!

"The world is hollow," remarked the girl in red. j t "It is," gloomily assented tho girl whose new gown does not fit, "hut I don't see how yon ever fdund it out. "By accident, dear. It happened the day after the cards were sent oat. had a note from Dan saying that he. mnpt see me once more before I was Jm's swifo. Of coarse I didn't really care forDan, but it is soothing to one's, vanity to know that the best man iH dying ol en vy of the bridegroom, who has no idea of it:" "So yon said you would see hirrl?" "I did. I felt that it would do Jim no harm if Dan did telL.me oncelmore that life was a blank without me', and it was really my last chance too. Still I didn't dare to let him come to tho house." "But where else could yon see him?" "At Myra's. She is -to be maid of honor, you know, and Jim used to ba quite devoted to her, so I knew fehe'd never dare to tell on Jne lest rieopla think her jealous. "When I want advice. I shall kno7 where to come for it. y. "Very well, do. Well, I didn't? send her word that I was coming, for I did not want auything down -on paper. As luck would have it, just its I was tart ing, Jim sent up a box of roses and a melancholy note saying that a business engagement he couldn't shirk "i-ould prevent him from coming up that Sven ing." "You were in luck. "So I thought. Well I just threw myself on Myra's mercy. She wasn't a bit pleased, as I could see, but she) sub mitted with the best grace she efould. She said she would keep everybody out of the library so we could have a long, quiet evening, and not to worry about her, as she would probably have compa ny." "That was nice of her. "Oh, very nice! Dan came early), and we had a perfectly lovely time. Ht beg ged me to elope the day before the! wed ding, recited two poems about his de spair and hinted at suicide. Oh, it was splendid! I cried myself almost to a jelly. At about half past 10 I Really couldn't stand it any longer, so I told Dan that we must go in and spt',ak to j Myra, for the front parlor was so quiet j that her caller had evidently failed to i come. So, after anotheu eternal J fare well, we went in. t "Well?" 1 "It wasn't well. It was ill! Jjyra'3 caller was there. He was Jim; hh was holding her hand and bidding her good by forever! Oh, was ever a poor gjirl so cruelly deceived as I!" r-Chicago Trib une. j A Thirsty Mild. 1 It was a red backed book and hajd the innocent air of a Sunday school library about it. And the boy himself wits the picture of innocence as he ambled jjilong with his forehead appearing above the pages. Ah, what a picture! The hope of our country! "Noble boy!" burst from the minis ter as he beheld the scene. j "Say, you've read lots o' books';" "Yes, my son. About all those fin the library.

"I'll bet a dollar on the. red one. I'll make It ten more if any fellow thinks that gray ona will ever knock him out" "I've got you for $5." "Wasn't that a daisy? There he goes right back on the same spot." "I that gray one had a little more room, he would lick the red quicker than a hound pup can lick a skillet." These were the strange sounds that were heard on Dearborn street on a recent afternoon when a crowd gathered around a market wagon filled with country prod uce, with a crate of chickens on top of the potatoes, turnips, etc. The crate was divided, one end containing a half dozen pullets, while In the other end there were two roosters looking as proud as the toy roosters that; the Democrats have on hand and are willing to dispose of at a ruinous sacrifice. The gray bird seemed to have an Idea that by sticking his head through the crate and filling his lungs, as if he were being examined for a life insurance, he could strike a note that would perhaps be heard by the' friends down on the farm. His effort was echoed by the red fellow, who raised him a note or two. Then they glared at each other much as the tenor looks at the basso after the latter has sung a salo, and a moment later they were at it, with blood and feathers flying all over the ;crate. There is more or less of the brute in the average man often more and there was soon a crowd col lected around the wagon. Interest in the outcome of the fight overshadowed any business that was on hand, and divided opinions as to the merits of each bird were freely backed with wagers. When the jnan from the country who owned the load came out from a neighbor ing wet goods dispensary brushing cracker crumbs out of his whiskers, a timid little man who had been a furtive observer of the chicken dispute from the outer circle of the crowd said: "These chickens of yours have been having an awful fight." "Yas? Been chewin each other up right smart." "What do you suppose makes them quarrel so?" "I dunno, mister.

To bloom or not to bloom, that is the question. Whether 'tia nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and foldings of Outrageous skirts Or take up arms and less against our t roubles, And by opposing end them'? To scorch, to race No mom, and by a race to say we end The heartache and the thousand natural shocks That modesty is heir to. 'Tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished. To scorch, io race. To race perchance to fall aye, there's the rub, For in that bloominsf fall what rent may come To mar my outer garments! There's the re spect That makes calamity or 6o long life. For vfho would bear the whips and scorns of style, The oppressor's wrong, the loud girl'3 con tumely. The tangle of despised skirts, the lingerie dis play. The indifference of dudes, and then the spurns That patient merit of the unworthy takes. When she herself might a compromise make With a pair of leggings? Who would petticoats wear. To grunt and sweat under a weary life. But that the dread of some untolu mishap. The unfilled seam, the nns.ubstantial cloth. Which tailors use, puzzles the will And makes us rather wear those clothes we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus modesty makes cowards of us all, And thus the nativo live of resolution Is sicklied o'er with thla pale cast of thought. And enterprises of great pith and moment. With this regard, their currents turn awry And lose the name of action. Louisville Courier-JournaL Nothing to Quarrel About. CHAPTER L The cozy little parlor of the Haystens looked very domelike and peaceful that morning. But appearances are deceitful. The beautiful Mrs. Haysten was in tears on the costly parlor ;divan, and; her hus band was pacing thp floor, with anger written on every lineament of his hand some face. They were at the height of their eight eenth quarrel. CHAPTER II. Gregory. Haysten grew visibly more de pressed. A fierce light of anger gleamed from his brown eyes. Suddenly an idea tseized him. "Amelia," he said in softened tones, "if you'll let up on this racket, I'll buy you a new dress." No response greeted these magnanimous words. CHAPTER III. Five mimites of silence elapsed. Then Amelia looked up into his face. She smiled. CHAPTER IV. The reconciliation was complete when she flung herself into his arms and sai( in melting tones: "Now that that quarrel is over we have nothing elso in the world to quarrel about, havo we, dearest?" "No," said her husband, embracing her. "Wo have nothing to quarrel aooufc. "You don't act jis though you meant what you said," she replied, looking at him archly. j "I do," ho said. "We have nothing to quarrel about." "Of course not," she responded gladly, "but why don't you say so more enthusi astically? Now, honestly, do you really understand that there is no occasion to quarrel?" "Didn't I say so?" replied Mr. Haysten, somewhat emphatically. Mrs. Haysten eyed "him with distrust. "Gregory," she snid, "I am astonished that you insist upon being perverse in this matter. It is tnio that we havo noth ing to quarrel about." "Of course it is." "There! You'ro mocking me," snid his wifo, with tears of indignation in her eyes. "I ain't!" "You are!" CHAPTER V. "Oh, I'm a liar, am I?" said Mr. Hay sten hotly. "Gregory," shrieked his wife, "how dare you use such words to your wife? You are infamous, and her utterance be came choked with sobs, "simply infamous, and I'm going home' to mamma on the next train." Chicago Record. That Was Another Story. I!
