ing strikes nae favorably. My only
fear is that it might be regarded by
the agriculturalists of this country as
rather early and before the end of the
working year is reached. I should
think, however, that the objection
would not be general"
Rev. John Anketell, of St. Barna-
bas' chaper, Mulberry Street, who has
been an enthusiastic champion of the
change suggested, says: '"The ami
versary would come at s. pleasant sea-
son of the year, when churches have
harvest home festivals, and October
elections being abolished and congress
not III session, it could interfere with
no public duties"

AlfOnsO's Dog Ugly"

a letter from Madrid says: ''The
deepest mourner Of any since Alfonso's
death has been Ugly, his Skye terrier.
The poor animal howled to be allowed
to 60 with him TO FL Pardo, but was
not allowed. She got there notwith-
standing, but how nobody knews.
When the king was dead she was
found lying under his bed in deepest
depression. Ugly certainly knew
that she had lost her royal master.
Ever since that loss she had been al
together OFF her food, and to prevent
her dying from inanition milk and
soup have to be forced down her
throat. The queen was greatly dis
tressed at having to allow the poor
little dog to be turned out of the NOR
tuary chamber when the religious
ceremonies were taking place"

The Western Union Suit.

New YORK, May 2S.-In the 50, 600, 600
suit for damages, brought by Receiver
Farnsworth of the Banker and Merchants
Telegraph company, against the Western
Union company. Judge Lawrence to-day
decided at the present stage of the proceed
ingS not to accept the testimony of the
Pennsylvania witnesses. The court held
that the receivers of the Bankers and Mer-
chants company in the several states where
appointed held the title to the company's
property in their states. 1t is held to be
ruled improperly, and governed by the laws
in such case. Therefore the cause for and
action for trespass arose in each state and
must be brought by each receiver. He de-
cided that Gen. Farnsworth. as receiver,
could only bring action for trespass in this
state. In consequence Of an illness of a
juror. the case was continued until Tues
day next.

Boarding houses.
How the words recall the misery expert
enced in by gone years and bring back the
memories of dirty halls. hard beds, cross
landladies, tough beefsteaks and insolent
chambermaids. The average boarding house
is an institution by itself separate and
distinct from hotels and restaurants. 1t
has tendency to deprave a person as a
rule, and more than one homeless wanderer
lays his downfall to boarding houses. AS a
rule they have tendency to make person
forget home, friends and the church. Of
course there are exceptions, but they are
rare, and are hailed with delight by that
large class of people commonly designated
as boarders.
Let us visit model boarding house up
on Nicollet avenue. 1t is pretty place,
and is more of family home than public
house, taking in whoever may come along.
Fine shade trees surround it, the lawn is
green and broad. and external appearances
indicate wealth and refinement. Inside
the house is all that could be desired. 1t
is furnished neatly and handsomely, but
still it lacks that something which makes
home so attractive. The people who live
in boarding-hOuses are of many kinds and
form an interesting study. There is the
young married couple, too much in love
with each other to notice that every other
person in the house is laughing at their
billing and cooling, and thinking what geese
young married people are. They are per-

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-John Edelheim,
grain broker doing business here princi-
pally with Chicago houses, committed sui
eide at 10 o'clock this morning by blowing
out his brains in his Office ON Common
street. He sent his Office boy out on a
trivial GRAND. a pistol shot was heard soon
after and friends rushed in the room. The
story of the suicide was told by the condi-
ton of the Office. He was lying on
the floor in front of the door
with pistol ball through his
brain. Neatly folded and stuck in the cor
ner of the blotting pad was telegram from
Chicago dated this morning as follows:
Curb July five one-elghth, decline yester-
day unlocked for. Feeling this morning
unsettled cables slow" Edelheim had
speculated heavily on grain and lost, and
then standing before the mirror had blown
out his brains. He was a native of New
York, about 40 years of age and married.
He had worked for II. & B. Beer, Seligman
& Holman and others, but went into bust
ness for himself about four years ago.
