"You mean the same size?"
"No, sir; want it finished off to look

The attendant had some explanations
to make in regard to photography, and
these explanations disturbed the couple
very much.
Will YOU guarantee to make her look

band.
He couldn't.
"Then we don't trade! We want
what we want, or we don't pay. Come,

"But it seems as if you could, if we
paid for it," she pleaded with the attend

A CORRESPONDENT writes of popular
music in London .'Comic singers are
always difficult to please. 1t is~ not
easy to draw the line between the vul-
yarity which, welded to pretty tunes, is
echoed from the music halls and the
nanity which sane people are content
with. There is an absolute dearth of
songs which hit the happy mean, and
SO, descending the scale of musical vo-
taries, We come at length to the whist
ling errand boy, who makes day hideous

Way Drivers Turn to the Right.

Major w. H. Smyth gives me the fol-
lowing. origin of the American custom
of turning to the right on the road:
Our ancestors drove oxen as usual
thing. In driving an OK team the driver
walks on the left of the team, SO that
he can handle the goad or whip with
his right hand. In meeting a wagon
each driver would turn to the right, so
that he could be between his own oxen
and those of the other wagon -Nnry

EDMUND YATES says in the London
World: L" Mr.. Arnold is, presume, far

get one from his failure. 1t was time
some one whispered to him that he was
mortal. Official promotions, literary
pensions and the perpetual offerings Of
incense and melted butter have almost
turned the head of one who, after all, is
a pretty poet and a clever critic, though
heavily handicapped by professional al
fectation and personal conceit."

ELOpers arrested.

An clipping couple were arrested and
locked up last night. A. T. Ramer is the
proprietor of the Grand Central hotel in
Bar Harbor, Me. On Sept. Z, last, his
daughter, seventeen years old, eloped from
Bangor, where she was at
tending school, with Lewis Connres,
stone mason and boatman of Bar Har-
Dor. He is q years old and has a wife
and boy 6 years old, but had parted from
his wife. The girl was perfectly aware of
this fact, inasmuch as Corners had lived
neighbor to the Hamer families all his
life, They came west under
an assumed name as man
and wife, stopping at various places. Ar
irving in Minneapolis they stopped at the
st. James hotel. The irate father started
in pursuit, tracking the guilty pair from
town to town, and arrived in Mime
apolls yesterday. He had no diff
fticulty in corralling the daugh-
ter and her paramount. Corners stated
last night that he is willing to 90 back to
Maine. He realizes that he will go back to
the penitentiary, but comforts himself
with the thought that the girl loves him
and will await his release, when they pro-
pose to marry, relying of course
upon the supposition that the wife
will have had procured a
legal separation upon the ground of adul-
terry. The county attorney has been con-
suited, and it is probable that the prison
ers will be prosecuted here. The girl is
rather good looking but slender in form,
while the man is the most commonplace
imaginable.

THE announcement is made of the death
of Col. Geo. Knapp, the senior proprietor
of the Missouri Republican, published at
st. Louis. The sad event occurred on the
18th inst. on board the vessel PennIaud,
while en- route from Europe to New York.
Col. Knapp was, we believe, the oldest.
journalist in the United States at the time
of his death. The Republican is in its
seventy sixth year, and Col. Knapp
has been with the paper over ffty-six
years. From the small beginning of an
apprentice boy in the weekly Republican,
hs became the senior proprietor of great
daily newspaper, and acquired great
wealth. Col. Knapp has spent several
summers at st. Paul and Minnetonka and
has many warm friends in this locality.
He was liberal, warm hearted gentleman
and belonged to what might be termed
the old school of journalists.

TEE RICH MANS DEVISE.

The genuine Boston man has his lido.
syncracies. One of them is, of course, to
hate Ben. Butler. But Mr.. Nelson Cur
It's had popularity of temperament that
led him in another direction. He died
one day, and it was said that his entrance
into heaven was rendered somewhat
deubtfulby the extent OF his temporal
prosperity. Mr.. Curtiss may have real
lied that he could not take his riches with
him, though some of his conduct indicates
that he thought he could continue in
control of it, as in life. By his will he
presented Mrs. Curtis with the sum of
$4,000. Being representative Boston
man he was of the opinion that the sum
he fixed upon was quite ample for mere
woman. But Mrs. Curtis entertained a
somewhat different view of the rights of
women in general and her own in particu-
lar. She brought suit at law to break
the will of her departed lord and master.
Strange as 1t may seem Boston Judge
and jury conceded with the view taken by
Mrs. Curtiss and set aside the will. The
result of that proceeding was that Mrs.
Curtis gets $25o,oOo, instead of the beg
carly one-ffth of that amount which her
husband set apart for her
use and beboof. In the
course of the legal contest
other heirs fled their claims, and with
some success it appears, as the brother of
the late Mr.. Curtiss was decreed S1,OOO,OOO
from the estate of the testator. Mr.. Cur
tiss gained nothing by undertaking to car
~ his riches away with him. His wife
and others have entirely overturned his
scheme and plans. His money bags were
productive of no appreciable good while
under his personal control, and no sooner
was ne gone than all interested joined in
scramble to get the most possible out of
his hoardings. The man of wealth had
done better to have disposed of his estate
while ne could, and he would have done
well if he had left its disposition to the
avs in such cases made and provided. In
coming into the world he brought nothing.
In leaving it he took nothing away. and
controlled nothing By his demise, much as
he trisd to do so.

The Labor Inguiry

New YORK, Sept. 26.-Joseph Medill
publisher of the Chicago Tribune, was
witness to-day before the United States
senate committee. He said he had been
connected with the press since 1848. The
chief cause of the impecunious condition
of the masses of the laborers in this coun-
try he attributed to their own IMPROVE
dence. The only way to improve them was
to teach them to save. Too much of the
earnings of laborers was spent in liquor
and tobacco. 1t had been calculated that
the amount annually spent by the laboring
population on drink was 800, 100000. and
at least $20,000,0O0 more was spent in
cigars, tobacco and useless Iuxuries. High
licenses aud high rents would do much to-
ward lessening the evil. The witness said
he had very little faith in political prohibi-
ton. Unhealthy tenement houses should
be torn down. The present tariff was

CURED high degree of intelligence.
What the coantry wanted was more me-
chanics. Industrial schools should be
established in every large city where edu-
cation in technical arts could be obtained.
In speaking of the railroad question
Medill said that some means should be
adopted for securing uniformity of rates.
The railroads should not be permitted to
exercise the power of arbitrarily chang
ing the value of all produce of the country.
Both state and federal legislation should
be employed to remedy this evil. The
capitalization of many railroads was far
in excess of the cost of construction of, the
roads, and they were annually fleeing
the people of the country out of millions
of dollars in profits.
