In CASE the Legislature should pass law
now concerning fence cutting, it is likely to be
SO crude, confused, disjointed, bungling, con-
Trajectory, ill-assorted and ill-e1pres,ed as to
constitute second edition of the labyrinth OF

is always blunder, especially in making laws.
THE Corpus Christi Caller hints that the

Democratic President this year. If the pain
no pun-stays until that event takes place, the
LIGHT will have powerful long period Of suf-
fering. But it will be cold, damp day when
that Democrat is elected.
MAKING fence cutting a felony will no,
stop the lawless practice of cutting fences
The Eighteenth Legislature seems 10 think
merely declaring II felony will frighten fence
cutters into quiet and good order. Tn.
lunatics in the asylum could beat such lepis

all, and as the State is already paying thei
expenses it might be well to substitute then
for the present Legislature.

An Oliver Twist Story.
THE EXPERIENCE OF A CHICAGO LAD WHO
WAS ENTICED FROM THAT CITY BY
TRAMP.

An Oliver Twist story came out in the
Police Court of Cincinnati, when John
Ryan was arraigned for vagrancy. His
accusing witness was George Gilbertson,
II years old, who lives in Chicago. His
father died several years ago, and one
year ago his mother died, leaving him
to fight the battle of life alone. He is a
fair haired boy, and pure-minded, as
everybody who heard his story believes.
He was employed in tannery in Chica-
go until short time ago, when dull bus
mess caused him to be discharged.
While wandering around he met man
on the lake front who gave his name as
John Ryan. He induced the boy to
come with him on a trip toward Cincin-
natl, and, to disguise his identity. told
him to take the name of Ed Ryan. After
they started on their trip Ryan became
very cruel and beat the boy several
times on the slightest pretext. Ryan
and the boy cheat" their way on trains,
and when compelled to stop in town
the boy was made to beg money and
food. He made several attempts to in
duce the boy to enter houses Tor the
purpose of robbery, but without avail.
When they arrived in Cincinnati, the
boy attempted to escape. He was
caught, and Ryan gave him a sound
thrashing and ordered him to again go
begging. He met a Christian lady, Mrs.
Delorac, on the street and asked her for
assistance. The kind woman took him
to the Childron's Home, where he was
cared for over night. One morning
Ryan appeared at the home and demand
ed the boy, saying that the lad was his
brother. He was detained until police
man arrived and arrested him. In the
Police Court the tramp told contradic-
tory story, and was promptly given three
months in the workhouse for vagrancy
The boy has been provided for by the
managers of the Children's Home.

Skeletons in a Tavern Cellar.

A cable dispatch from Berlin, sent o
few days ago to the German newspapers,
announced the discovery of six human
skeletons in the cellar of tavern in a
town called Turzig, near Rummelsberg,
in Germany. One of the bodies was
identified as that of B. Fuerstenberg,
Jr., prominent merchant of that To-
cality, who was never seen by his
friends after he had entered that tavern.
His identity was discovered by his
clothing and valise. The authorities are
looking for the former owner of the tav-
ern, Carl Siefert. He is supposed to
have been found in Meriden, Conn.,, and
is recognized by several of the Germans
at that place Who came from Turzig, as
the keeper of the tavern i'll question.
He displayed considerable money after
he came to Meriden, last April, and
bought considerable building lots. The
German Consul was notified of the
whereabouts of Siefert, but he replied
that he was not aware that Siefert was
wanted in Germany, SO he has not been

Eaten by a Weed.

Commander Alfred Carpenter, writing
from Suakin, Red Sea, contributes this
instance of a carnivorous plant preying
upon vertebrate, observed by him in
1881, when he was surveying at the
Paracel Islands, in the South China Sea
''The tide was low on the reef on which
was strolling and admiring the lovely
forms of coral existence. As I neared 9
pool, cut off by the tide from the sea,
noticed, among other submarine verdure
very ordinary-looking hesh-coloreC
weed about one foot high and of similar
girth. My appearance alarmed mum
bers of tiny fish, which darted to the
cover of overhanging lodges, but no

seeking cover in the weed. Bending
down closer I saw that they were lying
helpless about the fronds, with very lit
tie life left in them. Putting my hand
down to pick up one of the half-dea6
| fish, found my fingers sucked by the
weed, the fronds of which closed tightly
on them. The fish were not caught b.
the head especially, but held anywhere
round the body. The death seemed t.
be slow and lingering, and where tn
fish had been held its skin was macer

A Home for Babies.

A German woman ON the east side of
the town was left suddenly by an acct
dent widow with a bedridden child
pennlless and almost friendless. She
could support herself by doing washing
and ironing, as she had done before she
married, but her child needed her atten-
ton, as IN its condition she could not take
it about with her. She could not ask
,tih.ose In the house with her to take care
Az every day in her absence, and she
bethought herself what a good idea it
would be to open place for taking care
OF children while their mothers were at
work. Thinking the matter over. she
found she knew quite a number of
mothers, widows or the victims of i'm
provident husbands, who, like herself
could go out to days work if they could
get their children taken care of. She
embarked in the business. charging 10
cents per day for each child, the parent
furnishing It's food, and now she occu-
pies a whole floor and often has as manv
as 20 babies in her individual care. She
receives the baby in the morning with
its food and feeds and attends to it until
the mother or father calls for it in the
evening. In many cases where the moth
er has died the father finds her a great
help, and in several cases children are
put to board with her.-N. Y Times.

A Costly Expedition.

wreck of the Iris some years back, when
the hardy islanders, at great risk of
life and limb, succeeded in rescuing the
passengers and crew of the Inflated
steamer. The extreme length of the
islet is three miles, and the breadthrone

mainland about nine miles, and of all
the desolate specks of land it is the most
uninviting. Sixteen families with the
lighthouse keeper make up the entire
population. There is no arabic land,
and the surface of the ground is formed
of rocks. Some of the tenants have
never paid any rent, and others are from
ten to fifteen years in arrears. A pre-

An Actors Death.

At the Louisville Hospital, in'the pres.
eGce of but two or three friends, Matt
O'Reardon, one of the most popular
song writers of recent years, died. Young
in years, but broken down by disease,
with shattered nerves and a wrecked
mind, for a year or more he might have
been seen lying about the barrooms,
stupid from strong drink, his fine feat
ures bloated, and his eyes, that once
kindled with the Inspiration of song,
glazed and heavy. Now and then lover
of music would stop in front of some
familiar haunt of o Reardon's to listen
to waltz or reverie, played with the
skill of q master. Sometimes, when
fired by drink, he would sit alta barroom
piano and play some composition of his
own with a fervor and a pathos that
drew tears from those about him. Years
ago, when yong man, he fell in love
with Alice Oltes. Whether the actress
ever returned his affections is not known.
He certainly thought she loved him in
return. One day he found out his mis-
take. He was told that his love was not
reciprocated. He Immediately began to
drink heavily, and from that time to the

number of engagements on the stage,
but broke them all. He could never be
trusted to keep sober any length of
time. Some weeks ago he was taken
sick, and Manager Whallen, of the
Grand Theatre, succeeded in raising
little money for him,and getting him to
the hospital. The very day he died
Mr.. WhaIlen received Sc from the
Actors Fund. 1t came too late, how
ever.
O'Reardon wrote "My dream of love
is o'er' shortly after his unfortunate
love affair. He also wrote Gathering
shells by the seashore," "Only an ivy
leaf" Marriage Bells" and many
other songs that have been sung all over
the world.
