Gov. Lee spoke In favor OF arbitration tor DIFF
ferences between capital and labor, and in con-

load of sorrow and trouble with which the
world was already burdened but to be patient

that their stay would prove pleasant and proft-
able and their deliberations harmonious and
wise.

He Was Glad.

1t was suggested to Mr.. Talmage
that he get up a lecture on Cranks
and relate his experience with cranky
people. He laughed and said that
while his experience was wide and va.
ried on the subject of cranks, yet
there was one story that always came
to his mind when conversation turned
on these peculiar people. He was
once very busy writing in his room at
hotel and card came up. He gave
the bell boy instructions that he could
see nobody and dismissed him. A lit
tie while afterward the card came up
second time, and he told the bell
boy to tell that man to call OH the
next day, that he wouldn't see angel
Gabriel if he called to-day, and the
bell boys eyes stuck out. In a few
minuter the card came up a third
time, and then Mr.. Talmage went
down stairs to see who his persistent
visitor was. A man stepped up to
him and said:
"You are Mr.. Talmagef'
81 am, sir"
"Well, sir, / am an evolutionist,
and / want to discuss that question
with you. / am also an annihilation-
list. I believe that when die that
will be the end of me-"
Thank God for thatw devoutly

Got What He Wanted.

The following story is told of a
well known gentleman of this city
who recently married a belle from q
neighboring Pennsylvania city, after
his case had been given up as hope
less by the managing mammas Of
Buffalo:
1t seems that the gentleman in
question regarded his abnegation Of
bachelorhood with a sort Of rueful
misgiving, which increased as the
days of his liberty waDed. His last
revolt against the shackles of matri-
mony occurred when he was sent to
procure the marriage license, q few
days before the ceremony. He sought
the city official who presided over the
license department, and asked grave
ly:
as this where licenses are kept ?"
eyes, sir" answered the clerk po-
litely; "what kind of q license do
you want?"
"Well, what kind have you gotY'
rejoined our friend with superhuman
gravity.
The clerk had begun to look upon
his visitant as a lunatic, but he oh.
ligingly ratified off the list.
"Give you a license to drive hack,
give you license to pull teeth OF
practise medicine. give you pawn.
brokers or huckster's license, give
you a license to keep gunpowder in

ier.

A circus was expected at the village

wildly excited over the event as the
inhabitants of small towns usually
are. The colored population were

loud in his exortatiens against it. He
went SO far as to threaten to expel
