Bismarck ;. shrewd Policy.
Chicago Times. !


A writer for one of the French papers,
from Germany, has analysed the reichstag,
and has obtained some curious results, dis
playing the remarkable shrewdness of Bis
marok In playing off one party against
another to gain his ends. There is probably
no national assembly In the world with as
many parties, and frequently Bismarck's
hackers fall far below a majority At
present, for instance, he has only eighty-one
out of 397 members, and these eighty-one are
divided into two factions. The other 216 are
divided into Catholics, Liberals, Poles, Par
ticularists, Danes, and Alsace-Lorrainers 1t
Is Bismarck's policy to always keep the fac
tions at war, and to so manage the quarrels
that when he wants a majority he can get it
from those favorable or unfavorable to him
self, who want to crush the opposition. As
an illustration of his frankness in his
methods, it is related that once when four
afths of the members were united against
ehe government measure he remarked to
the Liberal leader: II am going into the
smoking-room for quarter of an hour, that
IA. until you all fall to quarreling again"

Criminals who Read Newspapers.

philadelphia Times.
GThere is no better place to look for Grim
inals than in library" said a member of
the detective force the other day "The
average thief is constantly travelling from
one city to another, and it is absolutely
necessary for him to keep posted in all the
criminal news in the different parts of the
country. In the large libraries at least one
or two of the principal papers of all the
larger cities are on file. These are carefully
scanned each day for police news by Grim
inals. If a robbery is committed in Boston
the thieves want to know all about it, so as
to discover In which direction their best field
lies. In this way they can also keep track of
one another.
"In several cases criminals have been de-
tected by being followed to libraries. One of
Pinkertons men not long ago made an impor-
tant arrest Of a jewelry thief In Cincinnati
in this way: The man spent all his time in
the library for several days after the rob-
bary In reading accounts of it. He appeared
to be so deeply interested tha5 the detective
made up his mind that he must have been
implicated in it, and SO made the arrest
Supposing that there was positive evidence
against him, the fellow confessed and this led
to the conviction of his pal
"You will often see the files of papers mutt
lated. Nine times out of 10 the pieoe cut out
contains criminal news. 1t Is amusing to see
how slyly the fellows go at it. They throw
themselves over the paper, and it takes them
half an hour to accomplish their object. In
the meantime they look in all directions to
see IL anyone is watching them"

FAMILIES At BILLIARDS.

Learning to Handle q Que I'm Leisure
Moments at Home.
New Haven News.l
Billiard tables are becoming matter OF
household furniture instead of wicked lux
ury to be sought after in some hidden saloon
The use of them has spread widely to private
families, and nine tenths of the houses with
any pretentions to modern conveniences that
have been built in the past few years have
a room for billiard table just large enough
to allow free swing for a cue over the nine
feet by four and half table that is usually
bought.
One thing that private tables is effecting
is that ladies are beginning to learn to play,
not so much with their brothers or gentle
men friends as with each other. Women
often have rather lonely time OF it during
the day, and billiard table is q novelty to
which they take naturally. Few of them
grow expert at it, though Eow and then ons
may develop into player who surprises her
brother or whoever it may be, when bet
happens to be played off.
In some houses it is a regular mania and
extends down to the servants, who peep
through the open door or inger excusingly
on the staircase to see how the shots are
made The mistress of an Orange street
family was astonished when she returned
had finished sooner than she expected, and
ran up stairs TO her dressing-room without
ringing. On the landing she heard murmurs
and smothered applause in the billiard-room.
The door was opened and she waited and
looked in, The cook, ruddy Irish giSl, and
the chambermaid, a stout German, who sould
hardly speak English, were wrapped up In
the cues and balls, while the colored gentle
man, who waited ON the table, attended the
door bell, and blacked shoes, acted as scorer.
Bridget was slightly ahead, 20 to q, but
Gretchen was at the bat, and from the
intense expression on the cOlored score
keepers face she was going up ahead. After
a run of four she stopped and the mistress
stepped in. 1t then came out how the serv-
ants had been employing their leisure time
The chief trouble with keeping private
table especially when beginners do most OF
the playing, is the liability to have the cloth
torn and the cues and balls damaged. Re-
pairing torn cloth is a mean and costly job,
and a table with many patches and servings
on is hurt. If there are young children in
the house and they have access to the billiard
room the balls and cues won't last long.
Ivory, or any other kind Of balls, can't stand
being rolled around the floor, and the
leather of the cues is not near proof enough
not to play out when used for q shinny-stick
Few pool tables are found in private houses.
Billiard tables only abound, and pool for
drinks is not known, though pool without
drinks is perhaps as rare. The whole change
from playing in public saloon is in keeping
with the tendencies of the present time to be
exclusive.

The Commissioner of Iadisn Af-
fairs, in his annual report, says the
progress Of the Indians toward civ
ilizstion is most encouraging. The
number who have forsRken the
chase and devoted themselves to the
cultivation of the soil has largely
increased during the year, and there
are more children in the schools and
mechanical shops. For the support
of these, and the prosecution OF its
educational work among the tribes,
the government has appropriated
during the current year more than
half million of dollars. This mo-
ney is a part of the stipulated price
for which the tribes surrendered
large tracts Of land. A large pros
portion of the money, moreover,
goes to the building of school -hsuses,
thus material Y reducing the amount
applied to purely educational work.
In view of this fact he states that
the Indian appropriation is too osmall,
and urges the necessity of passing
an appropriation bill early in the
session. Of the money aPproprist-
ed to feed and clothe then, the In
dians actually receive but So per
annum per oapita, or fraction less
than two cents a day. Compulsory
education has beer successfully tried
at four different agencies, and the
system IN TO be further extended by
Withholding either rations or annu~
ities from those who do not send
their children to school. Congress
is urged 10 pass a stringent law pro-
hibiting the sale of arms and am
munition TO the Indians, and en-
force the law forbidding the sale of
liquor TO them. Great good has res
suited from the establishment of
courts for Indian offences, and an
appropriation of $50, 900 is asked to
pay the salaries of Judges.

The Beginning OF n Quarrel Between
Two Editors.

[AGath" in Boston Globe1
During the week saw John r. Mclean
of Cincinnati, who is here with his wife, and
/ have understood that they are buying
furniture for their home in Cincinnati. Mr..
McLean's father has permanently removed
to Washington City, where Mrs. Mclean,
the mother, has purchased the celebrated old
mansion inhabited by Colfax, Sickles and
various other dignitaries. This family is par
ticularly noted for the devotion between the
components of it. There are two daughters
and one son. The youngest daughter, who is
near the age of Mr.. John Mclean, is married
to Gen. Hazen, the chief signal officer The
elder daughter, who much resembles her
father, is the wife of a wealthy steamboat
captain and capitalist in Cincinnati, Mr.
Hamilton Bugher.
John R. Mclean is, think about SO years

his affairs, although have been employed
by him for a good many years. have sup
posed that about the time the son went
into The Enquirer Office his father was
worth about sa500O0. The young man
went to Harvard college awhile, then spent
two years in Ell ropean travel and finally
concluded to go into the newspaper business,
The old Enquirer was a hide-bound Demo
cratic sheet, with very small circulation. If
it had 10000 copies / shall have been SUI
prised. The young man first took the
weekly paper, and by some gift enterprise
ran its circulation up to about $4,000 copies
and by the way, The Weekly Enquirer to-
day has about 5000 copies circulation, as
heard Mr.. Mclean say incidentally two or
three weeks ago.
The quarrel between Halstead of the op-
posite paper and Mclean started over these
weekly subscriptions Halstead endeavored
to have Mclean indicted for maintaining
lottery, the lottery consisting of numbers,
prizes, etc. in the order of the subscriptions.
When people resort to grand juries in the
midst of their business competitions they
must not be surprised if they lay the basis of
enduring hate. Mclean announced that Mr..
Halstead should make no more money in
Cincinnati. He Immediately opened his ad-
vertisement columns to ordinary advertisers
free. He told me soma years ago that it
had cost him 500, 600 to keep up that form
of competition. But he took $50, 900 year,

his paper; / do not think its general slap dash

The Wonderful HiStrionic De-

Child Actress

The New York public was SUR
prised few years ago at the arrest,
at the instigation of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Chill

tress. The little girl, less than
eight years old, was taken from her
parents and keptin confinement un-

and Mayor of the city. Mrs. Jen-
ME Kimball, the mother of Corrinne,
who has been known to the public
for many years as vocalist and COM
edienne, has devoted the greatest
care to the training and education
of Corinne, and the result is de-

"When did you discover CorinAe's
remarkable talent?' was asked of
Mrs. Kimball.

when her eyes would not sparkle at

she was four years old she created
