How Gen. sherman Found the Place.


Progress
Gen. Sherman is one of the most pop
ular men in Washington, judging by the
demand for him at social entertainments.
He rarely, if ever, dimes at home. As
he goes out so regularly he sometimes
forgets where he is to go. The other
night he came out on his doorstep in a
great hurry. He was in dinner dress,
but heSitated after he came ont of the
door. Mrs. sherman who was in the
hall, asked what was the matter. MY
George,' said the general, Il was to go
to dinner somewhere tonight. and to
save my blanked blessed life, have for
gotten where" Mrs. Sherman came TO
the door, and, pointing to old Gen. Van
Nliet, who was going quietly up the
street, said There goes Gen Van Nliet
He is generally at dinners where YOU
are invited. You follow him and 60 in
where he goes" MY George, what a
splendid idea. can't miss il following
that lead. Van Vliet can be trusted TO
find out the dinner places" Away sail
Cd Tecumseh, and. as he did not return
it was safe TO conclude he found the
right place

AWFULLY HOT.
The fat man,


The fat man,
With big fan.
Rolls along on rattan divan;
Every spot
AwfGlly hot
Doesn't care whether he dies or not
The small boy,
Full OF 10y,
Finds much fun without alloy;
In the stream
White legs CLEAN,
To him life SET -us no more than dream.
Boy sees man
on divan;
Wishes that he could have fan
And lie at ease on q cool rattan.
Man sees boy
Splash with joy;
Wishes he could his time employ
Bobbine around in the stream so coy.

WHICH KILLED him?
A Snake Bitten Man Dosed to Death With
Whisky.
Denver Tribune.

Wmshy.
Denver Tribune
Henry n. Squier, the unfortunate man
who was bitten by rattlesnake on We'd
nesday, rear Byers' station, the particu-
lars of which were printed in Fri
day's Tribune, died about four o'clock, at
his home, 26l Lawrence street, seventeen
hours after being bitten. His arm had
become terribly swoolen and very much
discolored.
When taken to his home the Tribune
reporter was present and assisted in car
rying him into the house. The bite on
his riyht hand was inflamed, but the
swelling had hardly reached the shoul-
der. Every appearance about him indi-
Gated alcoholic prostration. Before the
docto- had arrived he gave signs of re-
turning consciousness. In obedience to
the populai fallacy that in excessive ap-
plication of whisky is alone the cure
those about his bedside insisted upon
more liquor. 1t was accordingly gotten
and some of it poured INTO him despite
his protestations. The doctor arrived at
this juncture and glance 1t the pros
trat man convinced him that he was dy-
ing.
Another large dose Of whisky was pre-
pared, which he refused to take, but in.
stead cried piteously for water. He
drank the water with a relish but when
the whisky was again handed him he
turned from it with the cry, ooh, this
stuff is killing me"
The plea was disregarded, and he was
compelled TO drink more whisky. This
was kept up until he died. This treat
ment was followed under the impression
that the victim had been neglected and
that no internal antidote had been adj
ministered.
The impression now is that when the
man was bitten he was intoxicated and
had sufficient liquor in hin to counteract
the snake poison. Notwithstanding this
he was given continued doses at the vari-
Gus stations homeward and that every
time he gave signs of returning conscious
ness he was given more. BY this treat
ment the poison of the snake was sub
stituted for one Of equal virulence.

BURNING THE LETTERS.
RESA ROSS.

These dear old letters All Can l
Consign them TO the flames,
And see the cruel tongues of fire,
Wipe out the old pet names
All yes-I may as well-for she
VIII never say again
The tender, loving words that here
Were written by her pen.
And yet she is not dead-ah, no
Iwish to Heaven she were,
Before she took her heart from me,
And took mine from her.
For love can go beyond the grave
u stops not with the breath
1t reaches to the unseen world
Yesi Love is strong as death.
hut love Is not as strong us life,
No Life can live love down;
And leave her bleeding in the dust,
And bear away her crown.
when these fond words were penned,
To know the time could come when she
Would cease to be my friend.
Each word here Is but mockery,
Each line broken vow;
Yet would give the world 10 feel
That they were valid now.
Eternal Friendship" does not last,
lis broken sooa or late;
To love forever, means TO love
uatil you learn 10 hate.
All life is naught but mockery;
Things are not what they SEEM"
Faith is a shadow ON the wall
And love cruel dream.
Then take these letters kindly flames,
give them all To you;
oh bolt forever from my sight
The words no longer true
lis better so-yes, let them feel
Thy cruel singing smart,
And turn to ashes, dead and cold
AS those within my heart.

Recent Decisions of the Circuit Court
Adjusting Long EXISTING Grievances.

Chicago, Feb. 9.
Judge Moran of the circuit court this
morning decided the case of the Mutual
Union VS.. Western Union Tel. Co. The
court holds that the charge for extra words
is reasonable and a proper requirement, and
refused to issue any injunction to change the
course of business in that respect. The
court is also of opinion that the Western
Union is under no obligation to receive night
dispatches at reduced rates when transferred
to Mutual Union line. The court also de-
cided that senders OF telegraph dispatches
had right to employ boys of the Mutual
Union Co. in sending messages from their
own offices to those of the Western Union
Co., but that the Western Union Co. is not
obliged to receive such messages when writ
ten on blanks of the Mutual Union Co. The
order will be settled hereafter.
The bucket shop case of Nohe VS.. West
ern Union Tel. Co. and board Of trade was
also decided today by Judge Moran sustain
ing the right of the telegraph company to
withhold market quotations upon the ground
of the immortality and illegaity of business
in which the complainant was engaged.

and Valise Containing $4,000
Worth of Bonds and Jewelry.
New YORK, Feb 2.

NEW YORK, Feb 2.
A robbery was reported to the police to-
night and detectives were detailed to trv and
find the thieves should they come to this city.
The victim is Henry F. Gillg. manager of
the American Exchange, London, Eng, who
has been staying in this city for some time.
Yesterday Gillg went to Springfield, Mass,
to attend to some business, taking with him
valise containing diamonds. ewelry and
bonds to the amount of over $4,000. He
put up at the Massasoit House. He left the
hotel this morning to call on the wife of
banker, named Lloyd, to show her set of
diamonds worth $4,000. His valise he left
in his room. When he returned he threw
his $500 sealskin overcoat On one of the
pockets of which were the diamonds) down
in the Office and went to his room. When he
came back with the valise the coat was gone
Through the excitement that ensued the

missing goods proved fruitless. 1t is thought
that the thieves were professionals and be-
loHged to this city.

Keep Faith With the People.

At the republican State convention held
in Portland last June, prohibitory reso-
luton was adopted without dissenting
voice, the closing sentence of which is rs
follows:
Ave further recommend he submission
10 Me people Of constitutional prohibi
tory amendment"
The convention was comprised of men
fresh from the people. They were chosen
with view to action upon the question of
prohibition as well as upon other matters
placed in the State platform. They de-
liberately placed in the platform the tore
going words in relation to the submission
of a prohibtory amendment.
There had been loud call. as there is
at the present time, to give the people a
chance to vote upon the proposition to
amend the constitution in the manner des-
ignated. The republicans in the State
Convention said by their resolution. in
such a chance to vote. 1t was thought
that the people of the State had right to
such an opportunity to amend their con-
stitution. If they wanted the amendment
proposed they would vote it into their
constitutions if they did not want it
they would vote it down. Did not
the republican convention do right ?
We think it did, and we trust the repub-
lican members of the legislature will see
TO it that the resolve now pending before
the House receives the support to which
it is entitled. not only because of the rec
ommendation found in the republican
State platform, but on the broader and
higher ground that when the people ask
in such numbers as are witnessed by the
names upon the petitions which have
flooded the Legislature, for a chance to vote
upon amending the constitution, they
ought to have the privilege.
