A MEMBER SPEAKS.

II was member of the select cen

two Houses in the latter part of De-

Der the House committee was Demo-

therefore stood represented in these
two committees, which were to meet
together and endeavor to agree upon

full troubles inevitable on decision of
the contest in the ordinary way. Ali

A Western Mystery.

A letter from Milwaukee, Wis, says:
A great sensation was caused lately by
the publication of statements concerning
one Michael Holmes, who died In this
city few days ago. Holmes came here
b1t short time ago, and no ole ap-
peared to know anything about his ante
cedents. He was non-communicative in
regard to his history and made but few
acquaintances. About two weeks ago
he had a Misunderstanding with fellow
countryman named Patrick johnson.
which ended in his receiving such in.
jurles that he has since died from them.
It now appears that he made partial
confidant of another Irishman named
Fitzgerald. So much of his story as Is
known is now made public. With three
others he secretly left Dublin the night
following the Phoenix Park murders and
came to this country, and after drifting
about from place to place finally came
here. He told Fitzgerald in confidence
that he had not written to his wife in Ire
land for fear that bis wheaeabouts would
be learned, and also said that some Of
those charged with murder were inno-
cent men. The opinion is universally
entertained here that Holmes was con-
nscted with the assassination, II not
actually engaged in it.

Dancing With o Duke.

The other night the young duke of
Newcastle danced with five gorgeous
partners. It was a special ball night,
and so the toilets were such as to illus
trate the newest DEVELOPMENTS III the sum-
mer styles. His first partner is an Alge-
rian striped muslin, transparent, lined
with pink silk and looped over short
underskirt, of white satin cut into blocks
around the bottom. Each block is hand
painted with spray of pink morning
glories and foliage, this block trimming
falling over deep founce of Oriental
lace. The satin bodice has spray of
morning glories, starting from the left
shoulder. crossing the waist diagonally
and falling in garland over the sides of
the paniers.
His second wore a dress of heavy
white corded silk, hand-embroidered in
white sadler silk bouquets. The front
is breadth of splendid chenille embroid-
cry in the proper colors for roses and
dropping clusters of wisterias and their
foliage. The long train is split up the
back, and from the opening there rushes
a sweeping of this chenille-embroid
silk.
The third is in purplish blue and
blush French gray, both materials the
heaviest satin, and at the smallest calcu-
lation twenty yards of each is gobbled in
the manufacture OF this stunning Co.'S
tune. Newcastle's fourth waltz was with
girl in toilet of oak satin merveilleux,
trimmed on the bottom with a putting of
the same stuff, surmounted by founce
of old-rose silk, embroidered in open
work. The corsage. of oak armure, is
pointed .,at the waist, with founce in
large pleats set on all around.
But the most gorgeous dress pressed
by the dukes sons arm is gendarme
blue, with huge brocaded flowers of
shaded gold nearly covering the surface.
This superb material is puffed, looped
and draped from the waist to the end of
the train, with freedom utterly regard
less of cost. Besides, there ran up the
front. across the breast and down the
back, an exquisite trimming of floss EN-.
broidery of flowers and leaves in natural
colors. out out and thickly studded with
pearl beads. The fellow might easily
have imagined that he was dancing with

A Beautiful Monument.

The most beautiful monument in the
world, save at of Queen Louisa. wife
of Frederick William ~, in Cbarlotten.
burg, near Berlin, is that of Princess
Charlotte, daughter of the Prince of
Wales, afterward King George ". and
wife of Prince Leopold, late King of
Belgium. It stands in st. Georges
chapel, Windsor, England.
Her sudden death and that of her in
FAINT son, who was the heir to the throne
of England, at Claremont, near Windsor,
IN 1916, caused deep and universal sor-
row throughout the kingdom.
She lived a sad life until her marriage.
when, emancipated from the heartless
bondage of her parents, and the tyranny
OF her domestics, she really entered
upon the true enjoyment of life. But
death destroyed the hopes -ofa sympa-
thiziug kingdom.
She Lot only stood high in rank, but
higher in the Christian graces, and q
o1rning and grateful nation erected
this splendid monument to her memory.
The monument is of white marble, and
attests the skill of the artist, Matthew
Wyatt. The vault is found in Urswick
chapel, at the eastern end of the build
ing. The cenatoph consists of two parts,
the front, or lower one representing NOR.
tality, and the higher one, back of the
former, representing the resurrection to
life and glory.
The body of the princess is carved
above the sarcophagus, covered with q
white robe, her right hand falling gently
over the edge OF the sarcophsgus.
1t IS so finely executed that the out
lines of her figure, and even her counte-
nance, are admirably preserved.
At each OF the four corners a female
figure with head covered has fallen upon
her face in passionate grief. In the back
ground the princess is represented as as
cending in joyous aspect from the tomb,
between two winged angels, one of them
supporting her child.
A canopy of carved gilt-work encircles
it above. on which are intertwined the
arms of England and SAKE Coburg, to
which Leopold belonged. On the win
dow back of the monument six of the
apostles are painted, anl rich purple
and-orange light streams down through
the invisible side windows upon the ris-
ing figures, giving them most beautiful
celestial glow, and representing to the
spectator strange contrast with the dim
and shadowy figures in front.
It gives one vivid idea of the differ
ence between the earthly and the heaven
", and unfolds to his enraptured vision
the glorles of Immortality. The visitor
may study it in its finely executed de-
tails for hours with increasing Interest,"

Starting Out In Life.

Speaking about boys. Did yeu ever
notice how some boys make an effort to
get along In the world? When O young
man starts out in life he commences by
looking for position in which ha may
earn his daily bread and find clothes to
cover his nakedness. If he is one of
these reckless, vagabond sort of BOYS
whose thoughts don't run rod into the
future, or hardly keep pace with the
things going on around him. or has
grown up about as does lonely and
isolated weed in the garden that obtains
its strength from a rich spst in the
ground and draws nourishment from the
better fed plants and vegetables that
from their value receive care and atten-
ton, it is safe to say that he is one who
never thinks of what the next day. month
or year may bring forth, and though
nearing the age of manhood he is about as
capable of filing the position of man
as mulley calf. Still, he makes o pre-
tense at caring for himself and claims to
be doing all in his power to get along in
the world. Such boy starts out to OBJ
tain situation. He is reckless about
his personal appearance. His nair ia nm

the general appearance of tramp in his
exterior recommendation. IL he applies
for position, the man who happens to
need young man sizes him up and con.
cludes that he had rather employ Dig
ger Indian, if he has got to reform and
make clean the person whom he hires.
And again, he will wander around for
days and weeks, hanging around places
where they have no more use for q boy
than dog has for two tails. He spends
one day loaang about the depot, expect-
ing some one will come around and offer
him fine situation at four dollars per

Writing desperately, Sheppard at
length threw himself out. of the way,
and released his hands and feet. Then
he saw what had happened.
The bottom plank of the trough at the
point where he had lain was loose; his
weight upon its lower end had raised its
upper end two or three inches, and this
lower obstruction had hurled the sliding
log out of the way, through the air onto

while in New York harbor, on the after
noon of the 29th instant, exploded her
boiler. Over 100 passengers were on
board at the time and many were thrown
into the river by the force of the explo-
sion while others jumped into the water
to escape scSlding from the kissing
steam. The steamer sank in ten min
utes after the explosion. The loss of life
is variously estimated at from ten to
fifty, and would have been much greater
were it not for the assistance rendered
the unfortunate passengers by the large
number of crafts in the river at the
time.
