How Her Father Said Grace.

1t Is q mistake to ask q p~reoocious
child to show off before company. A
gentleman who was dining with his
family at o friends table, where q
number, of invited guests were present
had a bright little daughter who, as
Dor as the host had ask I'D grace, said:
''That's a pretty grace, but that Isn't
the way my papa says grace" The
unhappy father couldn't reach her,
and she said, sweotly: "Why, when

The Kansas City Journal gets all

Its reporters are so linked In with the
railroad oappers and jobbers that they
never oan and never will tell the
truth. The laundering viaduot bill
was gotten up and passed with no
reference to politics. Its Trainer had
no Idea how Its provisions could be
construed against the board of

point Is taken out Of the paragraph by
the fact that the viaduct bill wal

Finally, the Kansas City Journal

Concessions by the Gar.

Vienna Special: The nihilis.s here are
highly gratifed by information just re
ceiyed from St. Petersburg that the czar
has decided to commute the sentences
of death, and to pardon a large number
of others who have been sentenced to
various terms of Imprisonment. One
report soys that this act of clemency on
the part Of the car is only carrying out
the traditions Of the emperors Of Russia,
who nave always upon their coronation
released prisoners and done many other
acts of charity and mercy. A dispatch,
however, from well informed parties at
st. Petersburg, says that this concession
Is due undoubtedly to the extent and
and mysteriousness of the nihilistic
activity and the fear entertained by the
czar that he would meet his fathers
fate.

Destitute Irish Emigrants for
Minnesota,

Montreal SPECIAL: A genuine spec
on an extensive sc::!e of
Irish destitution and miserable poverty
was witnessed in Montreal recently by
the arrival Of 800 immigrants from Con-
nemara county, en- route to st. Pau,
Mimi, with the intention of settling in
that state. They were accompanied by
a young priest, to whom they looked for
consul and assistance, as they we're all
in an impecunious condition. Their APP
p%earance was indeed miserable IN the
extreme. Each was poorly clad for
this climate, and a great many were
without shoes. They were mostly in
families, and seemed careworn and
emaciated. Even the train hands were
afraid to enter the cars until a hose was
applied to wash out the interior. The
party is an installment of those sent out
by the Tukes committee. 1t viii take
them considerable time to r~ecuperata
their wasted strength before they can
go TO work vigorously on lands. Owing
to their being for the States, the Cana.
dian authorities did not provide them
with food, as is done eli route with their
own immigrants.

A Noted Kentucky shooter.

Washington Special.-Phil Thompson,
the Kentucky congressman who shot
Walter Davis at Harrodsburg, Friday, at
the age of sixteen went into Morgan's
cavalry and enjoys the reputation OF
having killed three federal soldiers in
different personal encounters. Walter
Davis is said to be the sixth man whom
he has shot since the war. A curious
fact is that every one Of the victims was
shot through the head. There has been
an old feud between the Thompson's and
Davis's. Half dozen years ago, while
Phil was prosecuting attorney, the two
families had trouble, and one day when
Phil, his father and his brother were in
the court room the old man Davis and
his three sons came in. War seems to
haye been understood in advance.
When the battle wa over it was found
that one of the Thompson boys was
killed,two of the Davis were dead and a
third fatally injured. Phil had shot two
of the Davis victims through the head.

tom.

The BRITISH government. has begun

The British government IN begun to
export to this country the paupers made
by its wretched economic policy and
misrule. It is the intention to send
some twenty-five or thirty thousand, and
already there is great complaint of this
action at the eastern ports. tits claimed
that they are not paupers because their
immediate wants are supplied by the
British government, but there i~sscarce:y
. doubt but they will become such.
Having reached our shores by public aid
and sent hither and thither by British
money, these people, to a great extent,
will look to public or private charity for
existence. Once or twice our govern
ment has protested against the expor-
tation Of few criminals and paupers by
the minor states of E~urope-what will il
do now that Great Britain is making this
country q poorhouse for it's pauperized
thousands? There is one thing to be
said, however in ex%tenuation of the Brit
shgovernmenI. There has been such a
craze on the part Of American railroads
and most of the state governments to
to att tract people to the country, with
out the slightest regard to their charac-
ter, condition or habits Of life, that it
may have been thought that a few
thousand more would be welcome with
out question.

Great Prosperity in Mexico.

The state department will publish in a
few days the annual report of Consul
General Strother, of Mexico. In it he
says the republic is enjoying a degree of
material prosperity heretofore unknown
IN her history. The successful initiation
OF the extensive system on railroad COM
municatlon has given a stimulus to all
branches of industry, the results of
which it would be difficult to estimate.
Mining is increasing to an extraordin-
airy degree, both in extent and variety.
The stimulus given to the agricultural
interest has been equally notable. The
culture of the cereals. corn, wheat and
barley, has been greatly increased, as
has been likewise the planting Of sugar
cane, cotton, tobacco and coffee. The
increased demand for American ~aericul-
tural implements and machinery is the
natural result of this revival in aericul.

terrific wind and hail storm which pass
ed over the country south and west of
that place Friday evening. 1t was first

south on the Santa Fe road, and seems
to have followed the line of that road,
doing great damage to houses and fences
until it reached Cleburne, thirty miles
south of that place, when itturned west

Mineral Wells, where it wa last heard
from. At Palo Pinto the Masonic hall

direction, but four hours earlier. The
amount Of damage is not reported.

Freezing in Presence VI Hum
lredS.

New York Special: William Jacobs
age sixteen, started to cross the Dundee
lake this morning. The river was high
and the wind was blowing a gale. In
spite of his efforts his boat was swepi
over the dam. Jacobs was thrown out
and fell with it. The boat lodged on a
rock a short distance below the dam,
where it lay bottom side up. The boy
made great efforts to swim to the boat
and after an half hours struggle in the
eddie she succeeded. Climbing on
the bottom of the bo.t he
stretched himself across it apparently
completely exhausted. He called to
those who mad gathered on shore to
come and save him, as he was dying
with the cold. His parents and broth
ers and sisters were soon on the shore,
together With 600 or 800 other specta-
tors, all fraptically encouraging the eff
forts ut rescue. Jacobs kept up piteous
appeals to his friends to keep trying to
rescue him, but a little after IL O'Clock
ne fell over on the bottom of the boat
and was not seen to STIR. He had been
over four hours in the icy water and cut
ting wind. About noon a boat wes
guided out by means of a rope to where
lay. He was then quite dead.

San Francisco Elevator Horror

Saturday afternoon a horrible acciden.
occurred in the elevator-shaft of the Ne
vada block, San Francisco. resulting in
the instant death of a lady. The eleva-
tor was ascending with the lady. a gem
tleman and the elevator-boy. While
midway the elevator caught and refused
to go either up or dawn. The bov
opened the skylight and got on the top
OF the elevator, and intending to get the
lady out, managed to get her up. and
also proceeded to open the doors lead
ing out to the second floor. As she
stuck her head out the elevator gave a
violent jerk upward, and before she
could extricate herself, or ever utter a
cry, her head and neck were caught be-
tween the framework of the shaft. The
elevator boy grabbed the rope, but the
cage assembled several feet before it was
stopped, carrying the upper part of the
woman's body with it, squeezing it into
a space six inches wide. An examine
ton shows that the neck of the unfortu-
nate wss broken. Her ia q was
horribly disfigured, the nasal bone was
torn off and the eyes orr out of their
sockets.

About 100000 boxes and barrels OF
oranges were shipped to New York this
season from Florida, and found a ready
market. and about 100000 boxes and
barrels of oranges were distributed
throughout the west, south and soath-
west from the same source. The trade
in West India oranges the past year
proved both unsatisfactory and unprofit-
able.

Religious journals complain that the

tie medical colleges and law schools are
crowded and graduating large classes
every year, the theological semina-

President Eliot, Of Hazard, referred in a

Of brains and ambition were avoiding

sign adequate leasons therefor, but oen

Young men, whatever may be their re-

lives to unappreciated labor-labor
that win barely give them a decent liv-
ing. When ministers are properly paid
there need be no difficulty about young

Winter Wheat Prospects.

S. W. Talmadge Of this city is to-day IN
receipt Of official information from the
agricultural departments of Kentucky,
Illinois, Ohio and Indiana in relation to
the present condition of the winter
wheat crop. MI. Talmadge in speaking
Of the general outlook, says: Notwith-
standing SO much has been said of late
about the improvements . of
the winter wheat crop and
the probable increase in acreage
throughout the spring wheat states,
which from the latest and most reliable
information l fail to see, l still adhere
to my estimate made April Is: Our crop
of wheat will fall short 20 per cen of
last year, and that the United States will
not provide over 400, OO0, 900 bushels of
wheat, or 100000 bushels short OF tie
average crop of the past five years.
