He had been bachelor for forty years. |
this same Mr.. Ellis Harvey, and he was
known among his friends as Every partic-

last phrase generally means one thing
hard to please in a matrimonial way.
He MAS sitting before a blazing coal fire,
thinking how dismally ccld it must be out
side; and he was eating very leisurely his
late dinner and thinking how excessively
comfortable it was in hfs sanctum, when
the door opened and a tall, stylish lady,
whose likeness to himself spoke her rela-
tionship, came sweeping in.
"Ellis!' she exclaimed, lat dinner?

her stately figure in it's rich evening dress.
Il cannot go for an hour, Hattie. SO sit

early enough, just right for a sensation"
But what makes you dine at this
hour?"
"I was detained, and gave Mrs. Smith
directions to wait for me. Let me offer you
something"
.You savage! You want a wife, Ellis, to
keep you in order. II Mrs. Harvey ruled

"Let US be thankful, then, that she does
not rule the house! Where is Lawrence?"
'In Washington! Went this morning,

TIRED OF LIFE.
Suicide of Mrs. Jessie Joh nston, of Kno,
Vile, Iowa.

Suicide of Mrs. Jessie Johnston, of Knox
Vile. Iowa.
CHICAGO, D.cember 23.-Mrs. Jessie
Johnston, daughter of Henry C. Munich,
formerly wealthy board of trade specu-
lator, and vile ef . young lawyer at Knox
vile, Iowa, threw herself into the lake at
Thirty ninth street to day. Her rich ap'
parel and beautiful face attracted the at
tent,on of q group of boys who saw her
TOWARD THE BREAKwATER.
They saw her jump into the ice and drift
that was dashing against the pier. A rope
was thrown to her BY the boys, but she re-
fused to grasp it. The body was rescued
by a policeman before lie was extinct, but
all efforts to resuscitats her were OF no
avail. She had visited the Office OF DIR.
Chamberlain half hour previous, but he
was SO busy and she SO agitated that he
told her to come to the Office tomorrow
and explain her case.
IT is STATED
by Mrs. Johnston's friends that her intel
lect, previously brilliant, had been more or
less unbalanced since her admission to the
Iowa bar about four years ago. Over
study is the cause assigned Mrs. John
ston came to Chicago only short time ago
to place herself under the care OF doctor.
Her husband was to have been here to-
morrow to spend the holidays with her.

New YORK. December 23.-The strike of

give any information as to the terms of the
settlement but it is thought that it has ac-
ceded to the demands of the men.
The first car left Greenwood depot of the

The men when questioned claimed that the
company had conceded all the demands.
President Lewis refused to enter into any

an employe from each department would
constitute a committee to present the
grievance, if any. and they would be lis
tened to. One Brooklyn firm claim their
loss by one days strike will be $4,000.

TAMMANY'S TRIBUTE
To John Kelly, the Dead Chief-The Wig.
wan Draped and Speeches Made.

New YORK, June l1.-Tammany Hall paid
its tribute tonight to its dead chieftan, John
Kelly. Outside and within the old wigwam
was draped with black. Ex-Judge A. 3.
Tappan presided. Letters of regret from
Hon. Samuel j. Tilden, Governor Hill,
Judge Noah Davis, Whitlaw Reid and 9TH
ers were read. Mr.. Tilden's letter read as
follows: II regret that the delicate condition
of my health does not allow me to
accept your invitation to take part
in the memorial services commemo-
rative of the late John Kelly, although
join in the tribute you propose to pay to
his memory"
w. Bourke Cochrane offered resolutions of
respect to TaInmany's dead chieftain, which
were passed by the Tammany Society at the
meeting of June 2, and delivered the eulogy.
Mr.. Charles A. Dana said: "While he lived
the public always regarded him with interest,
and now that he is dead they speak of him
not only with respect, but with affection 1t
is surprising what ulanimity there is
among men of every party in the opinion
now held. that Mr.. Kelly was both a great
and a good man. For myself, l do not
dwell very emphatically on that quality of
honesty which is so commonly put for ward
among his gifts. Honesty, thank God, is
not such rare thing among the conspicuous
public men of this town. The exception is
rather of those Who were not honest. But
while Mr.. Kelly possessed this elementary
and simple virtue and never departed from
il, he possessed also the grander and higher
characteristics of disinterestedness, of intel
ligence, of wisdom and of Democracy. With
him the last of these was the great thing. He
was Democrat not only in his thoughts, but
in his blood and bones. He was Democrat
morning, noon and night, and all the time
He believed in the rule of the people, and
he had 10 sympathy with device of theo-
rists to check and slifle the popular power,
whether by property qualification for the
suffrage or by systems of competitive exam

Whereas, The centennial anniversary of the or

gress and of the Inauguration of George Washing

patriotism OF the fathers of the Republic in fram

descendants the blessing OF liberty under which
the perpetuity of the Federal Government has
been firmly established, through the indissoluble
union of sovereign States capable OF indefinite
expansion without impairing the right Of local
selfgoyeInment, for which other people had
struggled in vain.

EDUCATION IN ALASKA.
A Large Appropriation Wanted for the Ben
eft of a Few.
Special to the Sentinel.

Special to the Sentinel.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-The Bureau of
Education has asked Congress for an appro-
priation of $50, ,0eO for the purpose of ad-
vancing the cause of education in Alaska.
A curious argument in favor of this appro-
priatian is given in copy OF report on ed
ucation in Alaska by Sheldon Jackson. the
general agent of the Educational Bureau in
that Territory. This report shows that at
Sitka, Alaska, there are 137 children that
should be in attendance at the Training
School while only ffty-nine pupils were in
school at the close of 1885. tits proposed that
Congress shall make the attendance of pupils
obligatory, because in no other way can the
best results Of the appropriations be secured
TIE General Agent of Education thus ac-
knowledges that the system as now carried
on Is failure. An appropriation of $4,000
is looked for in order that few teachers
may continue to improve the condition of
these poor. degraded creatures. 1t is gath
cred from the report that the miners offer
from dozen to 100 blankets for the pick
and choice of the female pupils for improper
purposes.

men of that city to pass bill granting you
certain franchises?n said the reporter at
is not So" he replied, II never paid cent to
anybody, either in Councils or out of Coun-
ellis, to procure the passage of that bill, or
any other bill. There is no truth whatever
in the report that see published in the pa
pers. 1t is the universal wish of the people
of the north side of Chicago that the cable
system should be used. have been waited
on by good many citizens of all classes who
earnestly urged me to get cable road in op-
Grafton as soon as possible. have promised
to do so, and that is what brings me here
now. The opposition is entirely among
newspapers, the principal one of which is
partly owned by a son of one of the directors
of the old West Side Company"

THE WHEAT CROP.
The Agricultural Department Reports Pros.
poets Good,

WASHINGTON, June 10.-The crop report of
the Department of Agriculture makes the
area of spring wheat nearly the same as last
year-about u 0O0, 900 acres. There is an
increase of one-sixth of last years breadth
in Dakota, decrease in Nebraska, and a
small reduction in Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin. The extention of area in Dakota is due
mainly to settlement and the necessity of
ready money for improvements, and some
what to last years unsatisfactory fax pro-
duction in Southern Dakota. The effect of
low prices of wheat has been counteracted
by the superior rate of yield of recent years,
the condition of spring wheat averaging
9Sl3 and against 81 in last year; Wisconsin,
81; Minnesota, 90; Iowa, 100; Nebraska, 81 /;
Dakota, 80; Washington, 100. Winter wheat
is not quite so promising as on the 1st of
May. A slight decline in condition is re-
ported in the West, and the low condition
of the Southern crop is more reduced, yet
the average is only reduced two points, from
$40 to 927. 1t is still from average to high
in the great wheat producing States In
New York it is not littering as in years of
strong root growth. 1t is very promising in
Maryland and Virginia, except in wet lands.
In the South it has been affected by rust,
shrivelling, the grain harvested. There
has been injury from drouth in Texas, rain
and floods in Ohio, and hail storms in
Missouri. The prospect is good for small
fraction above twelve bushels per acre.
