STRANGE FREAK OF INSANITY.

A HuSOanO7S GOh0uCk OA-
 lowing the Death of His Wife.
 NEWPORT, R. l., May 17.-A particularly distressing case is reported in Auburn, where the body of 8 we'll known lady now lies awaiting burial. Several years ago there moved to the village family consisting of George Andrews, his wife and son. They had by careful economy laid aside snug little sum and few years ago bought lot in the village centre. A few months ago Andrews began to show signs of mental trouble, but it was generally believed that he would soon recover. Such was not the case, however, as he gradually grew worse. This worried his wife terribly, and in caring for her husband she wore herself completely out. On Tuesday last she was taken suddenly ill, and died early on Friday morning. On Wednesday last Andrews went to his room, and taking position in the center of the floor has there since remained, gazing intent ly at some imaginary figure before him. For four days and four nights he has stood in that position, not once sitting down or turn ing around, and without taking any notice of those in the room who keep watch over him. He has been asked to partake of food or drink, but pays no attention to the person speaking to him and will not touch the food or drink that is left in the room for him. The funeral of Mrs. Andrews will take place to. morrow. The family are very popular in Auburn.

Elaborate Floral Decorations Grace The Scene of The Wedding.
 BOSTON, May 1.-The wedding of MT. Ig- natius Grossmann and Miss Edwina Booth at the residence of the brides father, Edwin
 Booth, on Chestnut street yesterday, was very quiet affair, but the arrangements were on the most elaborate scale. Reporters were excluded and all information refused. Rev. Dr. c. A. Bartol performed the ceremony. The floral decorations were of the most elab- crate description and arranged with great care, and the effect produced was striking.
 Down the center of the room ran lane, on each side of which was a rustic fence covered with passion vines, and as 1t neared the window it threw out two arms in the shape of T, separating inc bay window space from the parlor On the left of the I was quaint little gate. A bar ran across the room between the win dews, covered with sprays of asparagus ten1sslmus, and suspended from the bar was | true lovers knot made of white carnations and sweet elysium. Over the windows were | a lot of palms, and vases of roses and gar l land of May flowers. About the rooms were l 8 dozen or more exotics and no end of roses. The orchestra was at the foot of the stairs. 1 The guests were the immediate New York and Boston friends of Mr. Booth. No one | was admitted to the house without a card,
 and only sixty of these were issued. MT.
 and Mrs. Grossmann left for New York last
 night, whence they will sail for Europe. l They will not return till August.

ISOLATION is rich, bold, crafty it does
not always cast its sinews of war into
the democratic scale, but it general
ly does and it did this year to the
end, of dragging down the republican
ticket, although it included the same
General Carr that it preferred to
Maynard in 1888. The democrats
seldom set up ticket that contains
any open and able enemies of the Ii
quor interest, as they did in 1888.
This year their ticket was the ia
vorite with the rum power in politics,
50 this rich liquor league threw in
5000 votes and its thousands of dol
lars against the republican ticket and
defeated it. And yet not all the
votes and the, money of this league
would have won victory for the rum
power in politics had not 40 900 ear
nest temperance men voted the pro-
hibilion ticket with no other possible
result than to upset the only party
that ever did pass any stringent Ii
quor legislation at Albany and to en-
throne the party that represents most
largely everywhere the rum power in
politics. Rutland Herald.

OUR LITTLE ONES.

AS the time draws on apace when the
oftentImes vexed question arises, what
shall we select for the children for Christ
mas, something that will gladden. their
little hearts all the year through, the
suggestion is pertinent that there can be
no greater benefit or pleasure derived
from small outlay than by a subscrip-
ton to a magazine adapted to the years
and wants of each one. ''Our Little
Ones" is a perfect treaSure-house for it's
representative readers, as it's large con-
stituency will prove. The deicacy and
beauty of it's illustrations render it so
attractive, it's charming rhymes and tax
ing stories so interesting, that the little
ones are to be envied the fresh artlesS-
ness of childhood and the tender years
which make them so acceptable use
full gift at any time and especially appro-
pirate for Christmas. Let those who are
not the fortunate possessors of little peo-
pie in their homes, remember the many
firesides in every community who can
hardly afford the luxury of a magazine
for each one of the children, and make
themselves the happy giver. Sour Little
Ones and the Nursery" is for children
from wee ones to the age of eight or nine
years. 1t is also coming into use in
schools and very many superintendent
are now recommending it for that pur-
pose. Published by the Russell Publish
ing Company, SO Bromfield st. Boston.

The fight against George FL. Sim
mons, the new special treasury agent
in Vermont has now reached lively
stage, protest against his appoint
ment having been signed by 1000
citizens and old residents of Ben
nington, including Gov. Hiland Hall
OF Spring field, merchants, manufac-
turers, doctors, clergy, town officers,
democrats and republicans. 1t is to
be hoped that the administration for
it's own credit will begin TO undo
some of the bad appointments palm
ed off upon it by Atkins in Vermont.
Simmons, it is understood has Sc
cured a long list of endorsers, but
everybody knows that indorsers are
easily secured. To speak well of a
man requires little courage or con-
viction usually, and involves no re-
sponsibility. But to characterize a
bad man as he deserves requires
courage and a readiness TO accept
legal responsibility. A very large
number of persons. who have no
reason to falsify. are ready to do this
in the case of Simmons. The Dan
by post-office fight lis a similar case
and wakes hot.

A YEAR AFTERWARDS.


T A year has elapsed since the presi-
dental election of 1884. The new
administration has been eight months
in office. In that eight months the
president has uttered many express
sions of reform, and he has reap
pointed just one prominent republi-
can officeholder. At the present out
look that one will be the last, and
the hope expressed by Mr. .Schurz
that other republicans conspicuously
faithful and competent would be re-
tanned is doomed to disappointment,
The prospect now is that even the
civil service rules will be so changed
that the merit system will be prac-
tically destroyed. This paper said
at the outset that it would take
year to determine the character of
the administration, and it is already
pretty well settled that it will be as
partisan as any administration that
the country has ever had. The, par
tisan attack on Mr.. Roach, now adj
mitted byst acceptance of the Dol
phin, and the forced retirement of
the republican experts in the treas
ury department, are the. signboard
that unerringly point out the intense
ly partisan way that the administra7.
ton is travelling despite all its liberal
| professions. =.
A year ago it was predicted that
the republican party had met its
Waterloo and would follow the fate
of the wing party. A years expe-
rience has dissipated all such non
sense. In Connecticut, Iowa, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Kansas, Nebraska
and Massachusetts, where elections
have been held, the republican party
presents front as solid as ever.
Even in New York, where it has
again unexpectedly lost a battle. the
margin against it is only ten thou
sand in a million votes. The south
continues hopeless, but that has been
its condition for dozen years. The
republican party IS just as strong
and formidable as it was one year
ago.
For the highest interests of the
country it is we'll that the margin be-
tween parties is narrow. = 1t puts
both parties on tier good behavior
A false step on the part of the party
in power will be fatal. An unpa-
triotic policy or an Extensively parti-
san course will end In overthrow. If
all this is avoided, the country will
gain and not suffer, and in that gain
the republican party will Share. Still
strong in numbers, in principles and

DISASTER ON LAKE SUPERIOR.

The fine steamer Algoma, of the
Canadian Pacific line, was lost off
Isle Royale, on the Canadian shore
of Lake Superior ON the night of
Nov. Z. The story f=the disaster,
as related by the captain, is that the
~Algoma passed through st. Mary's
canal, bounds for port Arthur, Ont ),
at noon on Friday. Soon after reach
ing Lake Superior the wind began to
>freshen from the northwest, and a
great bank of leaden clouds along
the no rthern horizon denoted the APP
proach of heavy weather. Knowing,
however, that the Algoma was one
of the strongest and most powerful
steamers afoat, the captain'kept her
.onh her course; but as night approach
ed the wind continued to increase in
violence, and by dark had developed
int o one of the fiercest gales ever ex-
perienced on the upper lakes. Be-
fore midnight Lake Superior was
dashed into wilderness of seething
foam, and the situation was made
all the more terrible by binding
snow storm that set in before morn
ing. 1t was impossible to see the
leng tn of the steamer. The passen-
gers and crew were greatly terrified,
momentarily expecting the steamer
to go to the bottom. Saturday morn
ing Isle Royale was sighted, and
Captain Moore headed the steam
Ell for Rock Harbor, where he hoped
to gain shelter. The island forms
natural harbor of refuge, but near
the entrance there is dangerous
reef, and just as the steamer neared
the entrance she struck the reef.
There was a terrific shock, and then
the boat came to full stop. AL
most Immediately the report came
that the steamers bottom had been
punctured and she was filling with
water, The boats were at once got
in readiness, and all startedkto leave
the steamer, but just as they were
about to lower them the steamer
slipped off the reef and disappeared
with an angry roar. The water was
covered with the struggling forms of
men and women, and then all was
over. Only IA lived to tell the tale,
these fnall y reaching the shore in a
boat. The number on board the
steamer, including passengers and
crew, was upward of 60. ~.
The latest accounts say it is be-
lieved that more than 100 persons
lost their lives, many passengers hav-
ing been taken on at one stopping
place after the steamer began her trip.
The Canadian Pacific company have
almost absolute control of all the av-
enues of news, and it is nearly impos-
sible to get at facts.

BUTTER MARKET.

There has not been much vitality to
the butter trade the past week, and ON
kinds except the finest the tendency has
been more or less in favor of buyers. No
actual decline can be quoted but parties
who were forced to sell in order to real
ize had to make some concessions from
current quotations. Popular brands of
fresh creamery go off readily enough at
81 to % cents in round lots and 80 to 50
cents in a small way. This grade is get
ting scarcer every week, and is nearly all
engaged before arrival, SO that it is real
ly no criterion Of The general market.
For choice fresh Western creamery, in
car loads, "a to % cents per pound is a
top range, and some has to be sold for
less. Icehouse stock, which consists
mainly of June creamery, cannot be quo
ted over 20 to 81 cents, though OCCASION
al small lots so higher. This grade of
butter has not advanced with the higher
grades, and at no time since it was put
away could it be disposed of at any prof
it. 1t will probably do better with cold
er weather, but the outlook is not en-
couraging for holders. In the present
sluggish condition of the market it is i'm
possible to give reliable selling prices
except for fancy stocks. Small lots of
fine fail dairy are worth % to % cents
per pound, but when we pass these there
is not much dairy that will sell for over
90 cents per pound, and it must be real
lY good to command that price. Long
diaries are as dali as ever, and cannot be
sold at over Is cents. Some receivers
say they cannot get bid on most of the
summer dairy stock and prices are al
together nominal. The Elgin dispatch
quotes sales at q decline of 21a to 3 cents
per pound, but the price is still high
enough for the way the market is run
ming here.

The coming congress, the recent
elections, and the new civil service
commission are the subjects most
discussed in Washington now.
The white house is as quiet as the
president could wish, since his order
