Another terrible temperance leo
ture. The other day an unfortunate
man fell dead, in Chicago, from the eff
feet OF whisky.
Sometime ago Miss Julia Newberry,
of Chicago, died. She willed $1l0,-
600 to her mother. provided her moth
er, at her death, would will it to char>
table institutions. The mother ig-
nored the will, and laid claim to the
estates as the lawful heir. Judge
Tuley has just decided in her behalf.
OF course the charities contesting
her claim have appealed.
Monday the Germans Of Chicago,
10000 in number, celebrated the sixth
annual Cannstaedter Volks Fest, in
remembrance of the annual festival Of
the kingdom of Wurtemburg, near
Stuttgart, one Of the greatest festivals
in der faderland.
Dead by her side in bed. This is
the condition Mrs. John Battenhagen,
of Chicago, found her husband the
other morning.
Read this item for the girls. Lately
a Chicago miss was the beautiful, be-
witching and petted daughter of q
Chicago Board of Trade man, who
objected to her receiving the atten-
tions of a young man. However, the
beautiful girl needed not her parents
admonitions. and ran off with the idol
of her young heart. Ofcourse he first
robbed her of her virtue and then
deserted her. The other day she was
found beastly drunk in a Baltimore
gutter. And the iuhuman devil who
betrayed her is still unhung. What a
horrible picture to contemplate.
A pistol ball made an angel of
Michael Manus, Of Chicago, the other
day. MI. M. pulled the trigger, and love-
ly Lincoln Park was the place selected
for the tragedy. Over seventy sum.
mers had smiled on the deceased. An
incurable disease caused him to sud-
denly step into the unknown.
The recent death Of Hon. Jeremiah
Sullivan Black, of Pennsylvania, in
his seventy third year, is universally
regretted. Certainly Judge Black
was the most remarkable and able
legal mind of his day.
Decomposition of the cream and Of
milk caused the wholesale poisoning

A DIPLOMATIC SCANDAL.
The French Minister to London
Insulted by an English Lord.
London Letter.


A great social and diplomatic scan
dal has just trsnspired. NJ. Wadding>
ten, the French Minister to London,
was given special entertainment and
dinner at the house of a noble lady
whose summer retreat is at Cows, on
the Isle of Wight. The occasion was
grsced by the presence Of the Prince
of Wales. The French Minister was
accompanied by Admiral Keppel.
Everything went we'll and merrily
until after the ladies retired from the
table and the cigars and light wines
we're brought in for the gentlemen.
The conversation soon drifted to the
Chinese war, and then a debate was
started by Lord Charles Beresford
upon the merits of the English ard
French navies. The hero of Fort Meks
grew warm with wine ana he gradu-
ally became very offensive in his re.
marks. The efforts Of the Prince Of
Wales and others to check him into
decorGm served but to make him
pugnacious. He fell to ridiculing the
entire French feet, and wound up
with the statement that he could take
the Condor, the little gunboat with
which he nosed around Fort Meks
during the bombsrdment of Alexan
dria, and chase the whole French feet
in Chinese waters away from the
Anam coast. NJ. Washington consid
cred Lord Beresford's conduct SO ex,
tremely insulting that he arose from
the table, demanded his carriage,
and actually left the house. The
hostess followed him, and by the most
earnest solicitations finally persuaded
him to refrain from going to a hotel
and to re enter the house. In the
meantime the British officers present
compelled Beresford to leave the place.
and such was the noble Lords resist
ance to this treatment that his ej ct.
ment practically amounted to being
kicked out. Every effort was made
to hush up the matter, but nothing
could suppress M. Waddington's in
dignant denunciations of the treat
ment to which he had been subjected,
and the affair is tonight the scandal
of London

Sale by Candle.
St. James Gazette.

Sale by candle is method of AUG
ton that was at one time common
throughout England and Scotland and
that still survivesin some places north
Of the Tweed. In form slightly diff.
fering from that which used to be
almost universal in this country, it
may to this day be witnessed in Bre.
men, although the municipal authori-
ties Of that city have decided to abol-
ish it at the end Of this year. Every
Friday afternoon in a room in the old
Exchange o judge and his secretary
take their seats, attended by a crier
and servant dressed in flame col
ored coat and supplied with a box of
tiny candles, each of which is intended
to burn fer one minute. Alta given
signal the candle is lighted, and the
bidding for whatever happens to be on
sale begins. At each offer from a
would be purchaser the burning candle
is extinguished and new enc is light
ed and the property is only disposed
of when a candle burns itself out ere
fresh bid has been announced by the
crier. This custom dates from me-
diaval times, and it is said that for 500
years sales have been held and candles
have been burned every Friday with,
out interruption.

Two Interesting Houses.

Two Of the most interesting houses
in England, from literary point of
view, are about to be sold. Every
visitor to Broadstairs knows BLEAK
House," which stands so conspicu-
Ously on the cliff at one extremity Of
the Bonded bow forming the sea front
Of that charming little seaside place.
In that house Dickens spent many a
summer holiday, and within its walls
much Of his early work was written.
1t has become known as Bleak House
by association only, for its real name
is Fort House. Lawn House, hard
by,is also to be sold by Messrs. Friend
Vinten i Co. This was another Of
Dickens holiday residences, which he
occupied on several occasions before
he took Fort House. A considerable
portion Of The Old Curiosity Shop
was written at Lawn House. BLEAK
House" is the more famous of the
tive seaside villas, and is one Of the
few sights" Of Broadstairs. Hero
worshiping Americans are very fond
of taking a stealthy walk by night uu
to its gates and plucking mementoes
from the pretty Towering trees in the
garden which overhang the path out
side.

What Ii Costs the People for
Beer and WhiSkey.

A recent calculation about the con-
sumerS' cost of the spirits and beer
used annually i'll Illinois has led the
st. Louis Republican to similar cal
culation for the whole country. We
know from the government statistics
that there are about 100000 retail
liquor dealers in the country. If they
have an income of about Sl5 Il day,
the Republican finds that the total is
5000, 730, 900 annually. During the
latest fiscal year taxes were paid on
about $4,000, 900 gallons of spirits and
nearly I7,0O0,O0 barrels of beer. A
gallon of spirits is said to make near
ly hundred drinks, costing about 10
cents each, thus yielding about S72O,-
OO0, 900. The beer consumed is about
1926, 900, 900 pints, which ut five cents
Il pint makes about S2lO,OOO,OOO.
Thus, in two different ways, the con-
cIusion is arrived at that the people
of this country pay annually for the
beer and whiskey which they drink
$500, 0OO, 900.

case / will tell you what to do. we
have several little bug-catchers, curious
creatures.-in color and shape they
look almost like lump of earth, and
one would hardly know them from the
clods among which they travel about.
The children see them about the fields
or highways, and whenever they find
one they speedily pick him up and IN
vite him to make his home in our gar
den, and so they have their dwellings
in holes and corners about the yard.
The little fellows have a queer way
of catching bugs. They have long,
sticky tongue, though where they keep
il is a mystery, as it seems to be longer
than its owner. Perhaps they take
reef in it, as the sailors say, and so
stow it away. But when one of them
gets near a little bug he sits and looks
at him, and winks in kind of solemn
way, till all at once his mouth opens,
and quick as a flash, the tongue goes
out and in again and the bug is among
the missing! And then our little
friend sits winking and blinking and
waiting for another bug to come that
way.
He is said to have an ear for music,
and to do some singing in the warm
spring evenings, but we do not count
much on this nor do we brag much
about his good looks. His skin Is not
smooth nor his complexion fair, but,
for real usefulness he is about the best
kind of live stock we have on our farm /;
and if people want to keep their gar
dens free from bugs, the best thing
they can do is to get on friendly terms
with the little bug catchers and make
pleasant homes for the toads II Little
