how and in what time such things could

Council of State as Minister of Public
Works, is ridiculed as a mockery by
some of the French papers,
One of these journals says: "Seven

Governor General who had been previ-

which he accomplished to the best of his
ability, was to annihilate the indepen-
dence of the Christians and reduce the
Mountain to the condition of the other
Turkish provinces; that parsonage was

whom the Sultan, in his generous and
enfranchising purposes of reform, has
just elevated to the functions of Minis

0blo Statesman,
A Cat Adopts a Rabbl,.
from the Nashville eTenn0 Dispatch.l


+. A farmer named James Phillips, liv.
ing some three or four miles north Of
this city, is the proprietor of an intelli.
gent cat, which not long since became
the proud mother of litter of handsome
kittens, and perhaps no little strangers
ever received more care and attention
than have they since their advent to this
uncertain Gas regards cats) world. In
one of her preying expeditions, the
provident mother ran upon family Of
delicious young rabbits, as nearly as
possible of an age with her own frolick-
ing, fun-loving responsibilities. Here
certainly was food for feast for the in
fant felines, but it is not to be supposed
that high-.oned cat, such as our hero
inc is represented to be, could break into
the peace of SO happy household,
with but some twinges of conscience,
and it is not at all to be doubted that
there was a mighty struggle between
her alimentive propensities and her dis
position to benevolence and mercy.
However, she seems to have been some
what undecided, for she gently picked
up one of the tiny rabbits as she would
have done one of her own offspring, and
hied away across the fields with ito her
hungry family, who were all anxiously
awaiting her return and the delicate
morsels she bad promised them in ma
ternal- pur as she set out in quest of food.
Softly depositing the little stranger in
the midst of the frisky group, she looked
thoughtfully down upon the poor rabbit,
and as she did so her emerald eyes bore
an expression of pity that could scarcely
have been more clearly shown in the
eyes of human being. As she did so,
she slowly drew back, and in moment
had turned away. and her mischievous
progeny We're frolicking about the new
conner as joyfully as if relationship
had been established between him and
them. From that time, the rabbit be-
came recognized member of the family,
and is now led and cared for by the
mother of the kittens with the same So
licitude exercised toward her own off
spring. The kittens and the stranger
are growing rapidly, and make up as
felicitous family as can be found in the
wide world.

The Richings Opera Troune.

A Washington letter to the Chicago
Post says:
The Richings troupe have just con.
eluded languishing engagement
Washington has always been Their
stronghold, and to fail here seems like
failing everywhere. Perhaps it was be-
cause the season was so far advanced, OF
because they came in their old, old
clothes, or because Miss Richings has
married little man in her troupe not as
big as herself. I am sure 1 don't know.
l only know that heretofore we have
been perfectly delighted with them,
though the orchestra was poor, and the
chorus frightful, and the costumes musty
enough to have been fshed out of the
Ark. To be sure the Richings's voice
was as metallic as it was cultivated,
sometimes. But then there were other
times when Caroline" sang with won
dertul power, and we always felt her at
traction as good and accomplished
woman; then there was cunning little
Seguin, with her archiest little ways,
and wide-eyed Campbell with his roll
ing bass, and sweet-voiced Castle, senti-
mental as maid-and--(but this is
nothing to you, Post), memories touch
ing the tenderst chords of life linked
with this troupe and happier springs.
But not one, nor all together, filled the
seats for "Fra Diavola" and the "Bohe-
mian Girl" this year. They sang, and
it didn't pay" They are gone, and I
am sorry"

"Albert Lunel," has left us a character

Anecdotes of NIethOdisrn in Keu-

The first volume of "History O
Methodism in Kentucky" by Rev. A
Fl. Redford, has just been published il
Louisville. The Journal. of that city
says:
alt contains a history of the Metho.
dists from the landing of James Nc.
Bride, the first white man who penetra.
ted the wilds of Kentucky, in 1854, to
the conference of 1908. To the Metho.
dists, as a sect, the volume must be par.
ticularly acceptable; and to all others,
who desire to be posted in matters rela.
tive to the early history of our State, it
furnishes historical incidents which we
have not met elsewhere.
"The book is full of humor, and ac-
credits stories to some of the Methodist
pioneers, which have become household
words, and have been variously applied
since the dates given by the author. Of
Father Ray, he says:

A peculiarly mysterious suicide was
committed on Thursday night in one Of
the passenger cars of the Chicago and
Northwestern railway running between
Freeport and this city. Conductor Hib.
bard deposed that the deceased-an old
lady between sixty and seventy years of
age-came upon the train on Thursday
night at nine o'clock, end paid her fare
to Chicago. He states that his attention
was,tirst attracted by raising her hands
and screaming as though suffering from
the nightmare. Thinking that this was
the trouble, he went up to her, and tax
ing her by the shoulder, shook her hearth
ly. At this she Strengthened up, and, as
she appeared to be relieved, he left her.
This occurred near Clintonville, and the
train having stopped at that place about
10 minutes, moved on again. Mr.. Hibbard
then returned to her and found that she
was dying. She was victim of the
most horrible spasms, and her entire
frame seemed to be racked with fearful
agony. The only words spoken by her
were, l am wicked wretch, I am go.
ing to die." The conductor telegraphed
to F'reeport, but no clue as to her iden-
tity has yet been obtained.
The deceased was dressed in a grey
shaker bonnet and black veil, brown
calico dress, blue stockings, heavy shoes
and coarse woolen shawl. In her
pocket were found an old wallet con-
tanning Sl9,07, and druggists label
bearing the inscription "Poison! Sold
by ID. Bittner; Noun. Carroll, ILL.,"
There is no doubt but what she came to
her death from an overdose of strych-
nine administered by herself. What
cause could have impelled woman of
her years to resort to so fearful an ex-
tremity, is not yet ascertained.- CAica-

Burying Alive in India.

The Friend Of India says: "Some
curious facts about the crime of Sam
adh,' or burying alive, as practiced in
Rajpootana, have just seen the light
The political agent of Serohi furnishes
list of instances in the course of six
years that have come to his knowledge,
chiefly in the neighborhood of Motagaon,
a border village. The practice is also
carried on, we are assured, in the adjoin-
ing State of Marwar. Out of nine cases
of Samadh reported, eight of the vic
tins were lepers, the other having been
sacrificed, no doubt, at his own desire,
on account of old age and poverty. The
Rao of Seroni has issued proclamation
forbidding the practice, under penalty
of ten years Imprisonment. His High
ness will no doubt do all he can to put
this prohibition in force, but there are
very great difficulties in the way of car
rying out such orders. In many of the
cases the persons who dig the pit and
cover up the unfortunate wretch are
themselves lepers. and to them death
itself would be welcome, and we pre-
sumo the Rao would hardly care to in
troduce any of them into his prisons"
