Speaking in regard to the rumor that

ern Waterman, published at St. Louis,
and a leading paper of the Roman Catho-

that it had for a long time regarded the
elevation of Dubuque to a metropolitan
see as only a matter of time; that his
grace of st. Louis has always thought
that the differen. sovereign states of the
union should have their W archbishops.
The Waterman thinks, that in the event
of Bishop Hennessey's becoming an arch
bishop hat there will be another episco.
pal see, either in Des Moines or Council
Bluffs. 1t thinks the former has the
commercial advantage, but that the latter
is geographically preferable.

Carrie Burdette,

The wife of Robert j. Burdette, of the
Burlington Hawkeye, whose inimitaDle
whimsicalities have fed the hungry press
now these ten years, has died at her home
in Ardmore, Pa. She was one of the
most afflicted, but also one of the most
gentle, hopeful, intelligent and cheerful
m l have ever known. | spent a
week with the Burdettes in a Nantucket
hotel three years ago, and l shall never
forget the joyousness with which their
presence filled the house. Rheumatism
had crippled and deformed her sadly, 80
that she could not walk or stand or hardly
sit in a chair, but when the dinner-bell
rang, and Robbie" as she called him,
came with a joke and a cheerful chirrup
and took her tenderly in his arms as if
she were a baby, and carried her down
the stairs, and she chirruped back at him,
never murmuring, and they went laughing
through the hall, till he set his helpless
burden in the chair and steadied her till
the maid could slip a stool under her
feet, and she laughed cheerily again
because she had got some little extra
dainty for the table, and never had told

all that, and a full days other happy
exchanges, you concluded that the Bur

cradle by a good deal. 1t was pleasant
to see him carry her and put her in a
little wagon and wheel her around the
yard and down the walk, and she pluck
lily disdaining to complain, and CHEEKY all
the time. He was her special providence.
She told me, c~onfidentially, that he was
the best man in the world, and there
never was such another, and never could
be. There was something grimly grotesque
about it, though-to SEQ him mourn
over her awful atiiiction and then go back,
put on the mask again, and finish the
funny sketch for the Hawkeye. And
she had a ~tireless and %unflagging bravery
that would have beaten death if anything
could. She was a of rare culture

THE MOON
Towns, Villages and Cultivated
Fields Can be Seen.

At the astronomical observatory of
Berlin, says q translation from Nya
Pressen Helslngor, a discovery has lately
been made which, without doubt, will
cause the greatest sensation, not only
among the adopts in science, but even
among the most learned. Professor
Blendmann, in that city, has found, be-
yond a doubt, that our old friend, the
moon, is not a mere lantern which kindly
furnishes light for the loving youth
and gas companies of our planet,
but the abode of living, intelli-
gent beings, for which he is pre-
pared to furnish proofs most convincing.
By accident DIR. Blendmann found that
the observations of the moon gave but
very unsatisfactory results, owing to the
intensity of the light power of the moons
atmosphere, which is that strong that it
affects the correctness of the observa-
tions in a very high degree. He then
conceived the idea to MAKE the object
glass of the refractor less sensitive to the
rays of light, and for that purpose he
darkened it with the smoke of camphor.
1t took months of experimenting before
he succeeded in finding his right
degree of obscurity of the glass. and
when finally found no then with the re-
tractor took a very accurate photo of tho
moons surface. This he placed in a sun
microscope, which gave the picture a
diameter of fifty-five and one-half feet.
The revelation WAS most startling. 1t
overturned all hitherto entertained
ideas of the moons surface. Those level
plains which formerly were held to be
oceans of water, proved to be verdant
fields, and what formerly were consider
ed mountains turned out as deserts of
sand and oceans of water. Towns and
habitations of all kinds are rlainly dis
cernible, rs well as signs of industry and
traffic. The learned professors study
and observations of old Luna will be re-.
peated every full moon when the sky is
clear, and we venture to predict that the
time ia not far distant when we shall
know more about the man in the moon
than as being IN agent in English poll
tics.

Circus side-show Privileges.

Newark journal
The ''s;de-show privilege covers the
right to exhibit, in a tent adjoining that
of the big show, any and all sorts of al
legged attractions and supposed monstros-
tiles, with the inseparable adjunct of real
monstrosities of paintings outside, to
amuse and fascinate rural beholders.
The license granted to a circus ordinarily
covers all its belongings, including the
side-show. The ''concert privilege" COW
ers the variety show given in the main
tent after the ring performance ends.
Though this show has no license or ad-
vertising expenses-beyond such adver.
tisements as is given by believing fell
lows offering tickets for sale during Inc
main performance-its outlay is some
times heavy in its list of salaries for spec
.iallo performers, who are often high
priced. 1t, therefore, is much less prof
table, proportionately, than the side-show
but still is quite a handsome source of re-
venue with any good and successful cir,

A DOMESTIC TRANSACTION.
Indignation of a Sensitive Husband
a. Spokane Falls.
Rntta Inter. Mountain.

Butte Inter-M Mountain.
A story OF q strange and unnatural
domestic incident, the absolute correct
ness of which is vouched for by q re.
sponsible gentleman, comes up from the
Cour d'Alene country. In Spokane Falls
there lived n man named Kinney with
his wife and one child. They kept a
boarding house which was under Mrs.
Kinney's charge, and her husband, it ap-
pear was engaged in transporting goods
on q pack train from the Falls to Eagle.
The nature of his occupation prevent
cd his being at home all the time. His
wife it appears had hired q French cook
named GireauN, and insisted on keeping
him in spite of the fact that her board
ers were loudly complaining of his exc
cradle cooking. This circumstance and
the fact that Gireaux seemed to feel
quite rs much at home in the parlor as
in the kitchen aroused Kinney's suspic-
ion for his wife was not like CWSsr's. To
satisfy his apprehensions, no started q
week ago Monday with his mules on ono
of his regular trips to Eagle City, but
camped when a few miles distant and
about 10 o'clock that night returned
suddenly to his home. He
dispensed with the formality of
knocking, and walked into his bedroom
where he was confronted with convincing
evidence of his wife's infidelity. For an
instant the injured husband was struck
dumb with amazement. To think that
the mother of his child, the m who
only a year before had sworn to love,
honor and obey him, the one who he
supposed to be honestly sharing his trou.
bles and joys in the hope of a future
prosperity, had 80 bascly betrayed his
confidence was NORWOOD to his soul.
But Kinney was not the person to waste
time in vain regrets. He was a sensitive
man, and the sight which at first froze
his blood the next instant caused it to
boil with Indignation. Without a mo-
ment's hesitation he pulled ont a murder.
Gus looking knife and was in the act of
.springing upon the guilty pair when
Gireaux waved him back and made the
the following cold blooded proposition.
kinney" said he, 81 have done you
a great wrong. Your wife no longer has
a claim upon you. You will not wish to
live here any longer. What will you
take for your house, your business and
your familyl'
Kinney reflected on this novel PROPOSE
ton some time. Finally greed overcame
the desire for vengeance. "Give me the
money" he hoarsely cried, land take
everything I've got"
The money was counted out at once by
the Frenchman. Kinney Immediately left
for Eagle City where he bought an inter.
est in a valuable placer mine, and
Gireaux, blowing out the lamp, entered
into actual possession of his new proper
ty. MI. and Mrs. Gireaux are now in
Spokane Falls in the full enjoyment of
domestic happiness, and the baby is as
pert and clipper and sassy as though it
had not been thrown in ''to boot" when
the purchase of its mother was effected.
