An Honored State.

Although Mr.. Carlisle is only the
fourth Kentuckian who has held the
Speakership of the House of Represent
atives, that post has been filed by Ken
tuckians for a longer period than is
comprised in the combined terms of the
Speakers from any other State. Massa-
chusetts and Virginia have each had
four Speakers, but the combined terms
of the former amounted to but ten
years and those of Virginia to but thir-
teen years, whereas at the expiration of
this Congress Kentucky will have had
the Speakership for twenty of the
ninety-eight years that will then have
elapsed since the establishment of the
Federal Government.
Henry Clay was elected Speaker of
five successive Congresses and after a
retirement of three years he was again
elected in his old age and served
through both sessions of the Eighteenth
Congress. Owing to the fact that Mr..
Clay resigned the office ON two occa-
sions his entire service in the chair
comprehended period of ten years
only. John White held the gavel for
one term and Linn Boyd for two
terms. Mr.. Carlisle now enters on his
second term, thus rounding out
the twenty years for Kentucky in the
Speahership. Chicago Herald.

MILITARY PROFESSORS.

How q Certain Glass of Colleges Impose
upon the Government and Obtain In
strucbion by Nisrepresenting Their Con.
ditions.
The law authorizing the detail of ar
my officers to act as professors of tactics
and military science in colleges, re-
quires that any institution to which
such detail is made shall have the ca
pacity to educate simultaneously one
hundred and fifty male students. De-
tails are now made to thirty-seven in-
stitutions; but two-thirds of them have
not one hundred and fifty male pupils,
and many have not even seventy-five.
Out of the whole number only twelve
have an attendance of one hundred and
fifty; and perhaps not all of their stu
dents are of an age justifying the de-
tachment of an army officer from his
company in order to teach them tactics.
This state of things results, as Gen.
Drum shows, from the careless use in
the statute of the words, "having a
capacity for educating not less than one
hundred and fifty male pupils" instead
of some phrase requiring an actual at
tendance of that number in any given
quarter or term. Institutions that have
thirty OF forty scholars can send to the
War Department. certificates showing
that they ''have capacity for edu-
eating five times that number. They
might add that they would be glad to
get them. Thus they comply with the
letter of the statute requirements, and
receive their details, which are some.
times, apparently secured to obtain
the services says Gen. Drum, "of an
officer proficient in mathematics as q
professor in that branch, while his value
as military instructor is appreciated
purely from disciplinarian point of
view." 1t seems increditable that this
system of sponging has been going on
for years; but the annual reports Of the
Adjutant-General show conclusively
that it is so. As the abuse of the priv
ileges granted by statute could be
obviated by an easy emendation, Con-
gress has no excuse for not making it.
The matter should receive attention
at Washington this winter. No confid-
ence games on the Government should
be allowed, even when played by insti-
tutions of learning!-M Y. Sun.

NEW YORK, December 25-Fire started at

They were awakened by the smoke pour
ing into the rooms. The smoke was
SO thick through the rooms and halls
that escape was made most difficult.
Patrick Driscoll, however, found his
way out and gave an alarm. When
the firemen reached the scene the building
was in flames. Soon after the entire struc.
tute was consumed. Mr. Driscoll. his wife
Mary, and a son named Patrick, were
severely burned while escaping. Three
children, however, were burned to death.
They were John, Julius and Mary, aged re-
spectively seventeen, fourteen and seven
years. Their charred remains were found
soon after the fire was subdued.

TREED BY A H1PPoPoTAMus.

Thrilling Experience of a Philadelphia
Keeper With the Aquatic Monster.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, December 25.-Head
keeper Byrne, at the Geological Garden,
had thrilling experience early Yesterday
morning with the peculiar traits sometimes
evidenced by the large hippopotamus. The
amphibian has large double cage, and on
one side his comforts are provided for in
a large waterfront. The habits of the
large beast are such that he spends great
deal moro of his time in the water
than he does out of it, much to the dis
gust OF the garden patrons. Keeper Byrne
noticed this trait and was much annoyed
at it. He had heard visitors remark that
they did not believe there was hippopota-
mus in the garden. So yesterday morning
the keeper raised one of the iron bars in
the hippopotamus' cage, and, climbing
in with stick in hand, proceeded gallantly
to investigate the reason why the
animal staid under the water so much.
the basin, near the wall, and began prod
ding and splashing around with the stick
in search for evidence of animal existence
leneath. He had the pleasure of discover
opportunity of looking, for the first time
in his life, down into the horrid depths
of hippopotamus' jaws. The big, clumsy
beast became angered, his large head
bobbed up from the surface of the water
at point where it effectually cut
off Keeper Byrne's retreat. The keeper
saw this dismay, and, what was worse, the
large beast was slowly waddlipg over to-
ward him with jaws wide open. There was
only one avenue of escape left to the i'm
prisoned keeper, a narrow eight-foot ladder
on the wall on the side of the basin, and
this he mounted. The hippopotamus did
not drop the siege, however.D He
moved over toward the ladder and
kept his mouth open for Mr. Bryne to
look into. The keeper called Justify for
help. which did not disturb the animal in
the least. After calling furiously two
the elephant house was attracted, and Wig
orous methods were made to coax the ami
NAL over towards the bars. Finally the
hpropotamus was lured away from his vic
tim with tempting morsels Of food and the
Gagged keeper made his escape.

L. Q. G. LAMAR:

Something About His Family, a. Gleaned
from an Inscription Found ON the Tomb
stone of a Revolutionary Soldier.
The following inscription was re-
Gently copied from an old tombstone
on the "Vale" Farm, near "Pompey
Smash" Allegany County, Md. It re-
lates to an old Marylander of revolu-
tionary fame: ''In memory of Colonel

At the battle of Harlem Heights, White

and Wateree, at the seige of Ninety-six.
in the South, he was present and act
lively engaged, and by his coolness,
bravery and skill, he rendered most
signal and important services to
the army. At Guilford the desperate
charge of the American troops, which
turned the scale of victory in their favor,
was ordered at his suggestion, which
was communicated to General Green
through Major Anderson, and the plan
of firing Fort Mott, which was success
fully adopted, and which occasioned
the immediate surrender of that fort
by the British, originated exclusively
with him. In the disastrous battle Of
Camden he was foremost by the side of
De Kalb when that brave officer fell.
In the siege of '96 the immortal Kos
cuisko was his fellow-soldier, and served
under him for awhile. The noble con-
duct of this brave Pole was the fond
theme of his praise and admiration
through life. He entered the army at
the commencement of the revolution,
and continued with it, engaged in
actual service, until the close Of the
war.
During the contest he made but one
visit home. He married early; had sons
and daughters, the most Of whom he
lived to see begirt with glowing infancy.
He possessed heart full of kindness,
and temper almost proof against
anger. He was respected in all the re-
lations of his life. He was born in
Frederick County, but for thirty years
previous to his death resided in Ale
gany county, where he died January 8,
1888, aged eighty-three.

How He Spent His Money While Governor
Late Characteristic Incidents.
President Cleveland is worth about
100000, and he owns considerable
real estate in Buffalo, which is fast
growing in value. He made about
S25,000 year at his practice before he
got into politics. He is not an extrav-
agant man in any of his tastes, and has
never been SO. He had class of cases
at Buffalo which paid well, and he was
often the counsel for corporations in
big cases. While he was Governor of
New York he gave away the whole of
his salary in charity, save that which
he used for his personal expenses and
for the support of his mother. have
seen many instances of his charity. One
night I was with him in his private of
flee at the Albany Capitol. 1t was aft
er he had been elected President. He
was opening his mail, and many of the
letters contained requests for aims. I
saw Governor Cleveland answer fully a
half dozen of them by inclosing five,
ten and at one time twenty dollar
bill in an envelope with kind word,
and sending it to the beggar. One
case was especially touching. 1t was
that of an old man in Southern New
York, who had lost his horse by death.
He had little garden-patch of farm,
and this horse was his sole means of
making livelihood; upon it. He had
raised some money by contributions
from his neighbors, but still lacked
enough by twenty dollar to buy the
horse which was to serve as the sup
port of himself and his gray-haired
wife. Some of the neighbors heard of
Cleveland's charity, and had suggested
that he write to him and ask him to
help him. From the tenor of the letter
you could see that the old man was
very proud of its composition and
handwriting. He said that he had
written it himself, with his own hand,
and the appeal throughout was that of
asimple-minded, unsophisticated,c child
like person. Cleveland's eyes filled with
tears as he read it, and he put twen-
ty-dollar bill in an envelope and sent it
to him with few kind words. Wash

MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
A Sensation Created at Omaha,
Neb.
Ex-Mayor Murphy and His Family Be-
iieved to Have Been Poisoned.

OMAHA, NEB., December 27.-Patritk r.
Murphy, aged forty, Ex-Mayor of Omaha,
died tonight, after only a few days illness,
from a mysterious malady. Several MEM
bers of the family were taken peculiarly
sick about week ago. Mrs. Murphy first
showed signs of sickness. She had pains
III her back and shoulders, and her
throat became sore. She doctored herself,
and became apparently well again. Two
days later Mr.. Murphy was affected with
the same Symphonic, though not serious at
first, but Mrs Murphy was again attacked,
and two children soon experienced SINH
lar feelings. Then Mr.. Murphy became
worse. He rallied, however, and seemed
on the way to recovery till this morning,
when he was taken with violent cramps,
which grew worse until this evening, when
he died. The doctor in attendance
declares the cause of death was
ptomaine poisoning, the result of eat
ing chicken which had been frozen and
then allowed to become partially decom-
posed. Murphy had eaten only a small
portion of the chicken, and another men,
Der of the family, who ate heartily, has
not, as yet, been attacked. Mrs. Murphy
also ate very sparingly of chicken, and
several circumstances seem to indicate the
intentional poisoning by some outside
party, and several physicians declare that
otomaine poisoning could not have resulted
under the conditions of the case
