A slender, white whiskered, brave

upper end of an + street car one af-

hat upon his head and his clothes were
of black broadcloth. A high Henry
Clay collar grasped his neck and a
pair OF black-rimmed spectacles hung
by string upon his vest. He was
chatting to lady at his side and his
black eyes sparkled and most win

beaten face as the conversation went
on. The car stopped and / was sur

Daniel Webster is described by Mai
Poore in many places. ''He was
known" said he, "as Black Dam
fror, his swarthy complexion. He had
stalwart frame, q massive head,
crowned with wealth of black hair,
and his heavy eyebrows overhung cav
ernous eyes. He was marked man
In any crowd. Daniel Webster was a
good liver, but he had no care about
money" Mai. Poore says that he was
often in Pecuniary straits, though his
professional income could not have
been less than $4,000 a year. He
received $40, 900 for 8. single fee as
counsel for the Commissioners on
Spanish claims, and his friends in Bos,
ton at one time raised purse to EN-
able him to purchase the house in which
the millionaire Corcoran now lives"
Daniel Webster did his own marketing,
says Mai Poore. He was regular
attendant at the Marsh Market on
market mornings. He almost invari-
ably worea large, broad -brimmed, soft
felt hat, with his fayorite blue coat
and bright buttons, q buff cashmere
waistcoat and black trousers. Going
from stall to stall, followed by a SER
want bearing a large basket in which
purchases were carried home, he would
joke with the butchers, fish-mongers
and green-grocers with agrave drollery
OF which his biographers, in their anx-
iety TO defy him, have made no men
tion. He always liked TO have a
friend or two at his dinner table, and
in inviting them, sans ceremonie, he
would say, in his deep, CHEEKY voice,
''Come and dine with me tomorrow.

Monica, my cook, to have it baked in
the real old Virginia style, with stuf

baked sweet potatoes. 1t will be a
dish fit for the gods. Come and taste
it."
President Harrison also attended
the Washington markets, and it was
getting up early and going out in the
wet that killed him. He was an OBJ
stinate old fellow, and he stood on the
front steps of the Capitol without an
overcoat on the day of his Inaugural
tion. And a few days before he was
taken sick he was overtaken by a
shower on one of those marketing ex-
cursions and refused to change his
clothes whan he came In.

Rugby" said Congressman Leoni-
das Houk, "has gone through three dis
tinct stages and it is at last on the
right basis. The English capitalists
bought, you know, several hundred
thousand acres OF land about seven
miles west of the Cincinnati South
era railway, on the Cumberland table

the country very well. The first stage
of the settlement was the importa-
tion OF lot of impracticable fellows
who had little money and who came
here expecting to find a Utopia where
they could live like lords with
out work. They failed OF
course, and the next installment
came in the shape of traders and spec
ulators who also wanted to make for
tunes in short order and with very lit
tie labor. This class lasted longer
than the Utopians, but they died out
at last, and the third class of good
common sense people who expect TO
work for their living has taken their
places. These are doing very xwell.

Paying by Installments.
Chicago Letter.

Chicago Letter.
In Chicago the installment business
has assumed great Importance Fur
niture, carpets, household articles OF
all sorts, wringers, clocks, jewelry, sill
yer plate, rugs everything-is sold on
the monthly payment plan. 1t is
easy enough to sell goods in this way
the difficulty lies in getting the mon
ey for them. Thousands of collectors
are employed who do nothing else but
go from house to house on regular
routes calling for the fifty cents in
stallment due on Mrs. Smith wringer,
or the ST. due on Mrs. Jones chamber
set. II the money was always ready
it would be O snug business, but the
great drawback to the trade is that
IN Q large Ter So number of instances
the money is not ready. II had it for
you just an hour ago." is the frequent
excuse, "but the butcher came along,
and as I owed him little had to
give it to him. Come tomorrow" Or
ave had the money ready Tor you,
but as you are late let the milkman
have it for tickets. Ny husband will
be here in a couple OF hours and he'll
give it to you" But Of course the
collector can't wait couple Of hours,
and it is almost equally troublesome
for him to come another day. On ac-
count of these failures tocollect well
meaning and slow-but-sure-pay folk
being often the delinquents- collecting
has been found very serious matter
and the installment people often dis
cover that it has cost them more to
collect bill than it was worth.

Tom Corwin asserted one day in his
committee room that it was never
safe to interfere between husband and
wife, and in support Of his declaration
narrated an instance which occurred
when he was animated by the ardor
and chivalry of youth. Travelling in
a little-frequented rural district he
came upon cabin from behind which
he heard the angry voice of man
mingled with the screams OF a woman,
and at regular intervals hickory
singing through the air as if well laid
on. He rode round to get sight of the
cause of all this clamor, when he saw
a burly looking fellow thrashing his
wife like furry with a. stick

meaning of the statute. On seeing our
friend the belligerent suspended, the
shower of climber" ceased to fall, and
there was a great calm cs o few mo-
ments' duration. The young man.
whose wrath had suddenly waxed hot
against the cruel husband, cried out;

CRITICAL COMMENT.
Opinion Expressed ON Mr. Glad
stones Speech.

LONDON, May lO.-The crowd which
assembled in the palace yard Yesterday was
very large. but it was nothing like the inn
mense assemblage that gathered there on
the day Mr.. Gladstone introduced his bill
for home rule. Mr.. Gladstone was heartily
cheered while passing into the house of
commons. The house was packed, but
there was no such rush as on the day the
bill was introduced. The peers, speakers.
strangers and ladies' galleries were
filled to their utmost capacity. The
premer's speech evoked no notable
demonstration from any quarter, and was
heard throughout in comparative silence
even the Parnellites showing no enthusiasm.
AS an oratorical effort the speech was quite
unequal to that in which Mr.. Gladstone in-
troduced the bill. The vagueness Of his
language on the powers, the bill proposed
to confer on the Anglo-Irish commission
gave general dissatisfaction and failed to
concliate the Chamberlain Radicals
Messrs. Chamberlain and Goschen and
Lord Harrington held conference
in the lobby, arranging a whip
to secure voters from all sides, including
the government. The supporters of the
bill are very discontinued at the prospect
of the length of the debate under Mr..
Gladstone's refusal to give it day to day
consideration. 1t Is the opinion of the
lobby of the house that if defeated Mr..
Gladstone will resign and not ask for the
dissolution of parliament, and that the
queen will summon Lord Harrington to
form q new cabinet,

hlmSelf. The weapon used was a shot
gun, and Loundsbury inflicted wounds
which in each case must have proved
Instantly fatal. He was first married
many years ago, but was divorced about
twenty years ago. Last winter he married
Julia Presher, 16 years old, and has since
lived with his wife in small house on the
farm OF Horace Loundsbury, his brother
In Horace Loundsbury's family lived
Horace Payson, the nephew of Mrs. Hor-
ace Loundsbury. Payson was coal agent
for the Delaware, Lackawanna 81 Western
station at Lackawanna and theErie station at
TiOga. Norman Loundsbury had sus-
pected for some time that improper rela-
lions had existed between his young wife
and Payson, and had threatened her life
several times. She had been to see Dis
trict Attorney Sears regarding these threats.
From all the sources of information, it
appears that the husband first shot his wife
in the back of the head, the charge lodging
in the temple. She was found lying in
bed, which was saturated with her blood.
He then reloaded his gun and proceeded to
the barn of his brother Horace, where he
saw and shot Payson in the head. The
charge blew hole through Payson's head,
the ball coming out at the back The
murderer then went back to his home,
reloaded the gun, removed his coat and
boots, placed the weapon to his forehead
and fired. The whole upper portion of his
head was blown off, and portions of the
skull, shreds of flesh, patches of hair and
masses of brain are scattered about the
room.

Nor A TACTICAL SCHOOL

There does not seem TO be great deal of
merit in the appeal which the American
School of Classical Studies at Athens is
making for aid from this country. 1t is be-
coming leading question with most COL
leges on this side of the water whether it
would not be better to make the entire
range OF classical study, which is usually
compulsory, optional. and there is much to
be said in favor ofssuch proceeding Har-
ward has so far recognized it as to make the
requirement of Greek optional at the ell
trance examination, and all classical studies
optional after the first year of college
course. The age is a practical one, and de-
maids more practical training in schools and
universities. The man who leaves his
college with no better weapon to fight the
battle of life with than an intimate acquaint-
ance WITH by-gone Latin and Greek authors
Is very apt to make botch of it. Classical
learning Is all very well in its own way. but
common sense has demanded that it shall
no longer hold pre-eminence in the college
curriculum. When, therefore tho tendency
of the times Is to make the .fGfcs subor-
dinate. and vEan that tentfeicy is the ma.

A CRY OF ALARM.

Eastern papers, particularly those in
Pennsylvania, are sending up cry OF
alarm over the exodus which is taking
place from that state to Dakota and other
lortions of the West. Within week. il
is stated, nearly $50 families have left four
Of the interior counties for Dakota and
more are expected to follow. The most
discouraging feature of this immigration,
too, as viewed by Pennsylvanians, is the
fact that those composing it are nearly all
experienced farmers, just the kind of peo-
pie Dakota, on the other hand, finds most
valuable. The cause of the exodus.
as seen by the Eastern press, lies
in excessive freight charges, through
which it costs the Pennsylvania
farmers as much to get their products to
market as it does the farmers of Dakota.
While it is probable careful investigation
would show other, and, perhaps, more i'm
portant underlying causes for the emigra-
ton, the reason does not concern the West
SO long as the fact remains. 1t may
merely be observed that experience has
shown wisdom to be ON the side of
those who abandon high-priced and, fire.
quently, worn-out farm lands in the, East
for the cheap and rich soil of Dakota.
Viewing the exodus, then, from purely dis
interested standpoint, nothing but congrat-
ulatlons can be rendered those farmers who,
despite the warning cries of the Eastern
papers, have sought new homes in the
West.
