Persian Family Trouble.

The eldest son of the Shah of Persia was
the heir-apparent. He is very popular, in
telligent and capable, and his father is said
to desire to confer upon him that dignity.
But the mother of the younger son. now
heir-apparent, threatened to kill heaself if
the measure was carried through.-Paris

in bad form to notice the usher. When he
is IN the pew the chances are he
will try to push his hat under the seat, as
if there was holder there like those under
an opera chair. He hardly knows when it's
time to Use for the singing, or whether or
not to stand during the prayer. Its!very
easy for one who has had little experience
to tell who are the habitual church-goers
and who are the transients.
''The usher, too, usually knows his man,
and, if there are empty pews scattered all
over the house, uses some headwork in
seating the strangers. He knows just as
well as any one can tell him that lady,
who is evidently there for that purpose,
will have feeling of gratitude toward him
through all the service if he escorts her
down the full length of the aisle, and
that she would go away dis
gusted with him, the preacher and
the church altogether if he quietly
put her in one of the back pews, without
any opportunity for her to make credita

look with an unnatural look straight past
the man that passes it without apparently
knowing it was in sight. and at the same
time there was that unnatural appearance
about them that betrayed the fact that they
were deeply conscious of what was going

underneath the road-bed. There are along
the c,ast eleven miles where in the living
rock shelf has been formed for the road

THE SOCIAL LIFE
of the community governed by Mr.. Ross
possessed features of interest. The vast
interests committed to his charge compelled
him to vigorous prosecution of the whisky
peddlers, who were bold and INSCRIPTIONS,
and who gave him great trouble. 70 keep the
LIQUOR men in check several jails were built
and a big force of constables and detectives
employed, the rough justice necessary to be
visited on such community, so situated,
being in the hands of fifteen magistrates. A
hospital was erected with provision for
from 400 to 500 patients, who were taken
care of by five physicians. These were, for
the most part, typhoid fever patients, the
infection being invariably caught in the cut
tingS, and was accounted Tor Dy the escape
of foul air from the crevices OF the rock.
There were few accidents to call the hos
pitfalls into requisition, and such was the
care exercised in the dynamite factories that
no casualty whatever arose IN the manu-
facture of the tons upon tons OF explosives
There was, however, one serious result
from culpable ignorance and temer1ty, four
men having brought dynamite into one OF
the houses. and placed it on the stove to
thaw. The experience was a severe one,
but to these poor fellows it carried no ben
eft. After the works were completed, care
was taken to demolish the dynamite facto-
ries so as to render them innocuouS.
The character of the country is very diff
ferent from the dreary waste between
Port Arthur and Selkirk, being

rivers, exceedingly changeable in its

With Uncovered Heads.

Ercm the Detroit Free PrOSS.
The most wonderful Transformation scene
I ever saw in the matter of hats was on
Fleet street, London, after President Gar
fields death. 1t became known that the
queen had ordered the great bell of ST.
Pauls to be tolled, an honor never before
accorded, except to the memory of an
English sovereign. Fleet street and Lud-
gate hill was one mass of hats, tall. black,
gliStening hats. All traffic was suspended.
The old phrase, ''a sea of hats" was most
apt to this scene and this was literally the
Black sea. Probably no one in the thous-
ands there had ever heard the mournful
sound Of that great bell. The immense
crowd waited patiently for hours. Then
came the first low, dull, sonorous stroke of
the long silent bell. Instantly every hat
was removed and the change from sea of
hats to sea of heads was most magical.
The English crowd stood, while that bell
tOlled, with uncovered heads, a token of
respect for the uncrowned monarch who
lay dead beyOnd the ocean.

CHEYENNE AGENCY, Indian Ter, May
13.-Twenty-seve boomers wagons, each
partially loaded with Indian supplies from
Arkansas City, have gone into the terri
tory, delivered their goods and then moved
on into the Oklahoma district, where they
have located claims and commenced farm
ing operations. The report reaches Chey-
enne to-day that the boomers are exultant
and have sent word to campers in the vi
cinity of Caldwell that the coast is
again clear for another raid. Some
of their number openly boasted they mad
outwitted the authorities. Each of the
twenty-seven wagons contained from two
to three men. They went from Cheyenne
agency directly down Cimarron river, by
Camp Russell, which had just been vacated
by the troops which had been ordered to
the Northwest 1t is the judgment of the
authorities at the agency that all the boom

flock into Oklahoma, although the Fifth

The Preachers Brief Memory.

From the Richmond Religious Herald.
Here is an item which we propose shall
be read in silence and Immediately forgot
ten. We went out in the country the other
evening to preach. We stopped at the
house of brother for supper, and were
most gracionsly entertained-the ladies OF
the house making themselves especially en-
tertaining and devoting themselves ardently
to the promotion of our comfort. Leaving
the house in advance of the family, we
hurried to the church and began the serv-
ices. The members of the family came
afterwards and took their seats with the
rest of the congregation, without our OBJ
serving their entrance. After the sermon
we undertook to play the agreeable, and
began to shake hands with the saints and
chat around to the best of our poor ability.
Presently we found strikingly good-look-
ing sister in front of us, and holding out
our hand expressed a wish to form her ac-
ouaintance. A vicious litter ratified through
the crowd, and the sister looked little
scornful. We asked what it all meant, and
to our undoing found that the lady in ques-
ton was the one who gave us our supper.
We spent good part of the night in trying
to explain how it happened, but we cannot
say that our transgression will ever be for
given.

A Chat With Sunset Cox.

they care to experiment with in that respect.

trict that had 5000 Republican majority.

a butcher. Something was the matter
with him, or his meat. I beat him
by 1900. 1t isn't every fellow that can
become carpet bagger so successfully as
that. Somebody said the other day that
Ignatius Donnelly should come down to
New York and go to congress from there.
He might, and he might not. There

that vote. Yes it is hard to tell who will

Row i'm victoria,s Palace.
F;om the London Truth.

L
At the last drawing room there was a
small row because certain ladies thought fit
to ignore the regulation as to white gloves,
and it was only after a sharp alteration
with some of the Lord Chamberlain's Off
cials that the offenders were allowed to
pass on toward the Throne room. The
queen is very tenacious about these matters
and was exceedingly angry. Strict orders
have been issued that if any lady presumes
to approach the palace in a garb which in
any respect contravenes her majesty's reg
ulations, such person is on no account to be
permitted to enter the Throne room, but is
to be ruthlessly turned back. Gloves, in
deed, are always fad of royalty. The
Duchess d Abrantes gives an amusing ac-
count in her Memoirs Of how lady of
honor insisted on her putting off her gloves
before appearing before the queen of
Spain, the rule being as tenacious against
gloves in Spain as it is for them at st.

The sobbing Texas Wrens.
From the New York Dawn.

A stranger in the little cities of south
western Texas is often awakened at early
dawn by the beautiful but sorrowful song
of the house or sobbing wren. If the
stranger has been long away from home
and friends, and is sensitive to impressions
of external nature he never forgets the pc
cuiiar melancholy note of the tiny songster.
1t begins in a high, clear key, like the
tinkling of silver bells, and descending
gradually from one sweet chime to another
still sweeter, it suddenly falters, breaks off
and sobs like child, the song dying away
in a gasp. The listener, touched with
sympathetic emotion, may find it difficult
to suppress the uncomfortable feeling that
one of the little ones in his own family cir
Gle, far away, is weeping and sobbing for
his return. The song is heard only in the
twilight of dawn, and is repeated but few
times. Then the handsome little singer,
with plump brown breast, speckled with
shreds of black, retires through some crew
ice in the house top, and is rarely seen
during the day.

Tammany to Have Spoils.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 12.-The president
has decided that Tammany must be taken
care of, though it opposed him at Chicago.
Cleveland owes more to Tammany than it's
enemies admit. The solid Tammany
vote, at John Kelly's direction, was cast
for Cleveland.
When the Tammany delegation was here
in March, Cleveland cordially acknowl-
edged this, and now that Tammany
has been left out in the cold
by municipal appointments, the pres
ident has decided to reward it
with slice of Federal patronage. This
will probably come out of the custom
house by an understanding with the COM
ing collector. 1t must not be supposed that
Cleveland loves Kelly any better than ever,
but the existing factions in the metropolis
are understood by state politicians, and it is
well known that if Tammany falls to pieces
a new division will form to the confusion
of the new Albany regency, and the conse
quent probable loss of the fall election
Good policy requires that Tammany be
held in line this year, and it's beginning to
be admitted in New York that the president
is good politician.

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Yesterday the
president appointed Christopher L. Will
Jams United States marshal for the south
ern district of Iowa. When the announce
ment was made through the papers the
members of the Iowa delegation in Wash
ington were greatly surprised and were at a
loss to know who Williams was, nor
could they find anybody who did
know. They called on the attorney
general and were shown Williams indorse-
ments, which were found to be as follows:
Besides few personal friends from Keo-

James Hagerman, general attorney
for the Atchison, Topeka & Sante Fe

late secretary of war and attorney for the

company. The delegation had unanimously
recommended that Edwin Campbell of Fair
field, Iowa, who is entirely acceptable to
the people of both the district and the state,
and they had not the reEnotest idea that he
would not be appointed. without question,

sudden Change of Mind.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

The marriage of Mr.. Milton Smith and
Miss Fettie Sayre in Lexington on Thurs
day evening was not without an element of
romance. Miss Sayre had started to elope
with another young man, and was at the
depot with her trunks, and the other young
man was there with his trunks, and had
bought the necessary tickets, and the train
was upon the eve of starting. Mr.. Smith
heard of the matter and rushed to the de-
pot post-haste, had word or two with the
young lady and marched with her up to the
county clerks Office, where they took out a
license and were married.
