Unsurpassed "Cheek."

Exhibitors of CHECK" if they could
be materialized, would command con-
siderable attention at fairs. At one of
these exhibitions Bohemian printer
who cafe to this city some time ago,
and who "subbed while on this pa
per, would never fail to receive the first
premium. This is a specimen: Going
up to the State House, he inquired for
the Governor. The Governor had gone
to dinner. He asked for Secretary
Frolich. That gentleman was in his
office.
"Col. Frohch," he began, "you are
a printer; Sc am l. Just now it is high
ly essential that should have dollar
Lend me the amount and / will pay it
back tomorrow"
The Secretary happened to possess
the amount, and, moved by the stick

printer smiled, bowed and left. Going
down and passing out into the street,
he hailed a hackman:
"What will you charge to drive me
to Gov. Miller's residence and back to
the Capital Hotel?"
Zone dollar"
"All right"
Give me the dollar"
Certainly; I'd just as lief pay in
advance. I'm gentleman"
He didn't pay over the dollar, but as
serted that he was a gentleman.
Arriving at the Governors residence,
the comp" jumped out, ran up the
steps and rang the bell.

to the servant.
He is eating dinner"
"But / must see him Immediately.

and the Governor hurried to the door.

ITALIAN newspapers contain reports
of audacious outrages by bandits on
the highways and railroads Of that
picturesque country. In one case a
dozen fellows brought train to stop
by hosting danger signal. They in
tended to rob the passengers, but a
large force of soldiers happened to be
on the train, and when the bandits saw
them they started for cover. The mill
tary sent volley after them, and some
started in pursuit, but it was already
growing dark, and no captures were
effected. On the road from Senatro to
Isernia twenty-seven unarmed travel
lers were robbed by thirteen brigands,
and lawyer who proved troublesome
was badly wounded. Attempts are
made to throw trains off the track,
successful robberies are frequent, and
the police are utterly inefficient and

A CONGREGATIONAL church in Min
nesota having by great effort freed it.
self from long-standing debt, the pastor
has exacted from the trustees public
pledge that they will close the doors of
the church rather than again allow the
church to become involved in debt.
It would not be amiss if other churches
should take somewhat the same stand,
for a religious society should, for its
own honor and the honor of God, be
particularly scrupulous to" deal justly,
and to set an example of right business
management.

WOLVES have made sad havoc among
the cattle in several provinces of Rus
STA. Even children and grown persons
sometimes fall victims to the rapacity of
these animals. A wolf appeared in the
streets of village in the province of
Wilma not long ago and seized boy 3
years old, who was playing in the yard
near a house. The mothers screams
aroused the neighbors, and many per-
sons started in pursuit. But the wolf
escaped, with the child in its jaws, into
the forests in the vicinity, and, though
search was continued two days, no trace
of the child could be found.

The Fisk University negro singers
engaged board at the New Marlboro
Hotel, Boston, but on their arrival were
informed by the proprietor that they
could not have their meals until the
white guests had retired from the ia
bles. This treatment they declined to
bear, and went to the Quincy House. A
lawsuit for damages is threatened. The
negroes say that they have breakfasted
in England with Gladstone, and dined
with Bismarck in Germany.

BISMARCK says of the late j. Lathrop
Motley: "In the autumn of 1888, as we
both passed from Gottingen to Berlin,
we took rooms in the same house and
lived in the closest intimacy, taking our
meals and doing our exercises together.
Although he was stubborn dialectician,
and often used to wake me of morn
ing to continue some discussion, COM
menced over night, upon point of sci
ence, he never for a moment lost his
cheerfulness and amiability. While at
Frankfort he generally stayed at my
house, and was ever a welcome guest to
my wife. The most striking features
of his handsome and mild countenance
were his extraordinarily largeand beau
tiful eyes. Henever entered drawing
room without exciting the sympathy
and attention of all the ladies present.

The late Bishop Nottingham, of
Maryland, stood next to Bishop Smith
of Kentucky, in point of seniority
among the prelates of the Protestant
Episcopal Church in the United States.
He was consecrated in 1910. Next to
him is Bishop Lee, of Delaware, Low
Churchman, who was consecrated in
1871. Following him is Bishop South
gate, who is without diocese. The
next twenty-four Bishops, with perhaps
three or four exceptions, are either of
High or Broad Church party, and all
the remaining Bishops, with six or eight
exceptions, may be placed in the same
category. 1t is proverb among
Churchmen, at least among the laity,
that radical Low. Church clergyman
on being elevated to the episcopate be-
comes at an early day one of the most
conservative men of his order. Three
Bishops have died during the year
Sixty-one remain.

WARD LAMoN tells a new story of
Lincoln. Soon after Lamon was made
Marshal of the district, in 1861, he was
in the neighborhood of a corner fight,
and, in restoring peace, he struck one
of the belligerents with his fist, the
weapon with which he was VIGOROUSLY
familiar. He struck rather harder than
he j. led, for the fellow was picked
up unconscious and lay some hours on
the border of life and death. Lamon
was greatly frightened, and next morn
ing reported the affair to the President.
81 am astonished at you, Ward" said
he, harshly. "You ought to know bet
ter. Hereafter, when you have to hit a
man, use club, not your fist"

THERE is said to be a woman in the
Indiana State prison, serving out a
sentence for life, who offers $4,000 to
any man who will marry her and re-
lease her from durance vile. One he
roic individual with the name of
Schwartzmiller has come forward to
sacrifice himself for the sum of $50, 900,
but the Governor of Indiana has been
forced to disappoint his aspirations; the
laws of the United States contain no
provision whereby a person can be
released by any such romantic process.

A MACHINE, invented in 1861 by w.
H. Wash, a millwright, for the manu-
facture of gun caps, has been unearthed
at Danville, Va. The machine first in
vented by Wash had capacity OF
10000 caps in ten hours. He sold it to
the Government for $4,000, returned
to Lynchburg, made another, which had
a capacity of $4,000 per day (ten hours),
aud sold it for $4,000. He subsequent
ly manufactured another with capaci-
ty of 10000 caps per hour. When Rich
mond was evacuated his last machine
was put on heavy wagon and carried
to Danville, where it has remained in a
rubbish heap ever since.

A CORRESPONDENT of the San Fran.

A CORRESPONDENT of the San Fran
cisco Post, writing of the varied climate
and temperatures of California, says
that in the interior valleys he has found
the thermometer as high as la degrees
in the shade, and at least 125 degrees
in the sun, yet the air was so pure and
dry that he did not find it enervating
nor even very inconvenient, as much
lower temperature east of the Rocky
mountains certainly would have been.
He rode twenty-five miles on horse
back in that sun of 125 degrees, OBJ
serving, questioning, and making notes
for his newspaper, and felt perfectly
well through it all. A constant gentle
breeze, that is never wanting in summer,
kept him comparatively comfortable.

SACRAMENTO, July~3.-OnE the
reassembing of the Democratic
convention this evening, resolu-
ton was offered, that with the ex.
ceptlon~ of Governor and the Jus
dietary, no candidate of any other
State con veDtion be endorsed. This
created q long and heated discuss
sion,s during which the fact was de-
yeloped that the delegates from San
francisco and Sacramento, had been
holding . conference with the man
ayers of the "Honorable Bilks"
with a View Of procuring an en-
dorsement Of the Honorable Bilks
ticket, on which are many Republi-
cans. 1t was strongly argued BY
the friends of fusion, that on ac-
count of desertions from the gDems
ocratic ranks, the gonly possible
chance ofsuceess lay in coalition.
The opponents denounced it as an
attempt to sell out the party to
Honorable Bilks." Pending the
roll call, a telegram from Mr.. Glenn
accepting the nomination for Gov-
ernor,was read. The roll, call re-
suited in the adoption of the reso-
luton by a vote Of n198 to 148.
TCheers and confusion follow
ed. Mr.. Sullivan, fSan Francisco,
objected to putting up Democrats to
be sacrafced, and moved an ad-
journment sine de amid a babel of
cries. Another delegate charged
Fowler, of Tulose,w with saying-he
would vote and work for the Repub-
lican candidate, and accused him of
selling out to the railroads. The
uproar then doubled and Fowler
attempted to reach his accuser but
was seized by Gov. Irwin and 9TH
fers. For .. few minutes q general
row was imminent, but order was
finally restored and a motion
to adjourn was voted down
and the convention proposed to
nominate Lieutenant Governor.
