DIED RATHER THAN GO TO
SCHOOL.

About 2 o'clock on Sunday afternoon,
Mabel, the eldest daughter of the Hon.
John x. Griffith, took her own life by
shooting herself through the head with
thirty.two-caliber revolver. The ball
passed through her head, struck the
ceiling and fell to the floor. The cause
of her strange-and sad action was but
trivial. Mabel was Is years old in June
last, and had, with sister next younger,
attended the Normal college at Shenan-
doah several terms, During the last two
or three weeks her parents were unde
cided whether to send the girls to the
college or to the high school. Sunday
morning at the breakfast table Mabel
inquired whether they were to go to the
college or the public school, and received
the answer from her parents that they
thought it best for them to go to the pub
bitterly, and when the family were pre-
pairing for.church said she would not go
to church to-day as she was not feeling
well. The fine farm residence Of Mr..
Griffith is about two miles east of town.
The family in their carriage, started for
church, Mable and her father remaining
at home. Mr.. Griffith was lying on the
sofa sleeping, and Mable sat at the desk
writing. The father fell asleep. She
took the note size had written, pinned it
to her dress, went to her room, and, just
as the family were coming in the front
gate, on theii return from church, fired
the fatal shot. They heard the report,
but did not know what had happened.
A younger sister ran up stairs to take her
things off, when she found Mabel lying
face down upon the floor. She called
her father, who had not heard the shot,
and was still doing. He hastened to the
room and lifted the PROSTATE form of his
daughter, supposing she had only tainted.
There, pinned to her dress, was the note,
the contents of which were on the des-
perate deed.-CouncI Bluffs Nonparei1'

AN ANGRY IRIsHMAN-NoRTHA ADAMS,
Mass, August 28.-T Editor New York
Sun. Whereas you have the courage
to publish the sentiment of those who
communicate their intention to you,
please allow me to say that [ am a Dem
ocrat for the last thirty years, and never
voted anything else but the straight
Democratic ticket; but, alas! | cannot
vote it this fall. NV blood is boiling for
revenge and will have it. Therefore |
cannot vote for Grover Cleveland. I
watched his movements since he became
Governor of New Yark state, and I
noticed he always sided with the Repub-
licans; hence it is that think that he is
at heart blacker Republican than James
G. Blaine. So [ fhiuk / will vote for
Blaine in preference to Cleveland.
Icnnnot eradicate from my breast or
mind the insult that Bragg, of Wisconsin
gave my countrymen at the Chicago
Convention when he said he loved Cleve-
land for the enemies he had made. OF
course that meant the Irish. Now then,
let him elect Cleveland if he can with
out the Irish, for very few of them will
he get. [ am in position to know,.a as |
travel good deal among the Irish. This
is an estimate you may rely on. Cleve-
land will not get over 7 per cent of the
Irish vote, and why should he?

WISCONSIN DAIRY EXHIBIT AT
NEW ORLEANS.

AS is we'll known, the forthcoming
Worlds exposition at New Orleans prom
ises to be of great importance to the
dairy interests of this state. A large sum
Of money, $4,000, has been appropTiat-
ed for premiums and as soon as officially
approved, the premium list will be dis
tfibuted. Butter has been divided into
three divisions-that made in June, July
and August; that made in September and
October, and that made in November and
December. Cheese is divided into two
divisions that made previous to Sept.
1, and that made afterward. In both
butter and cheese departments great care
will be exercised to secure careful hand
ling, and after the exposition, which will
occupy about three weeks in January,
the same will be sold and proceeds remit
ted to the owner. 1t is expected that
expenses on freight, etc, will be very
light. AS soon as the premium lists are
received they will be distributed and tull
directions given for marking, shipping,
etc.
The undersigned desire to urge upon
the dairymen of Wisconsin that they
make especial effort to send butter and
cheese to the New Orleans exposition.
We want Wisconsin to win a good share
of those large premiums, and we think
she can do it if her dairymen will only
be enterprising enough. Our victories at
the Centennial and great dairy fairs have
been of untold benefit to our dairy inter
ests. Let us keep the ball rolling. Ia

said to Dana, "What do you think
of Cleveland2" and he replied, "He is
great"-then long pause-"in his lit
tleness." Dana says that be does not like
Blaine but be can not stomach Cleveland
and his following. He said Blaine was
great man, although personally he did
not like him; but Cleveland didn't
amount to anything. "Why, it is alb
surd,f said Mr.. De Young, "the idea of
nominating man who has only been
known as hangman, then mayor of
Buffalo, and afterward gubernatorial
accident. He will be beaten in the state
of New York by 100000 majority. I
was talking with George Jones, of the
New York Times, when was in London
and be said that the Democrats made a
great mistake in nominating so obscure a
man as Cleveland, but that it was under
an agreement with the Independents,
and they had an idea when they nomin-
ated him that he was much more popular
than he has turned out to be- At first
he had quite boom in the East, but be
has been steadily running down, until
his election has become one Of the very
TOIuOLG pOSSlUllllICS. LII hOuuOuS vi
course the politicians are all tor Cleve-
land, not because he is Cleveland, but
because they don't want Blaine. The
people generally do not have anything to
say about it, but in the clubs-I mean
those clubs which are political in their
nature, such as the Carlton, the Reform,
and the Golden clubs-the talk is very
heated on the coming American election,
and they are ali for Cleveland since they
fear the election of Blaine. 1t is thought
in England that the election of Blaine
would be alsevere blow to England's in
terests on the continent of America His
support of the Monroe doctrine and his
expressions of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
were not relished in England. I don't
think that Blaine is very we'll understood
in many parts of the country. There is
an idea that he is likely to bring on a
war with some foreign country, but that
is all nonsense. He is conservative, but
firm and self-reliant. He will make for
eign countries respect the United States,
and he will watch the interests of this
country with an eagle eye, and he will
do all this, for he will be elected next
November.-H. D. De Young, an San

STREET CARS IN EGYPT.-Alexandri ria
Letter: Here for the first time in my
life have seen street cars running with.
out the aid of rails ofFany kind. The
cars are like our ordinary open summer
cars, though little stouter and drawn
by two horses. The wheels are
about twice the usual diameter, project
ing up through the floor quite conspicu-
ously. They are wood with iron tires.
As the streets of Alexandria are paved
with smooth blocks of stone about two
feet long by one foot wide, in such way
that the lines. of contiguity cross the
street half way diagonally and then re-
verse, they are especially adapted to the
locomotion of these cars. The cars must
be light built, and l judge that there are
regularly appointed routes for them.
They move along at decent speed and,
are not altogether uncomfortable.
