Col. VIII S. Hays, of Louisville,
who was very we'll known fifteen
years ago as tho writer of sweetly
sentimental ditties, has joined a
negro minstrel troupe, and will
travel about the country singing
his own songs in the make up of
an aged Kentucky darby.
Barbara Robinson, n little I'M
educated nine-year old negro girl
of West Point, Ga, bids far to
rival Blind Tom as a pianist. Sho
plays with wonderful correctness
any composition that she has once
heard. Like Tom she seems OBJ
livious to everything else when
listening to music or playing the
piano.
The striking miners of the Penn
sylvanla cake regions have lost
100000 in wages since they quit
work, while the loss of interest on
the capital invested is about $780,
900. Every day they become
poorer, and their employers less
able to pay fair prices for their
labor. Even if work was resumed
tomorrow at the advance contend
ed for, it would take the miners
nearly two years to get even.
An eminent scientist attributes
the longevity of woman who re-
Gently died at the age OF 100 to the
fact that she never wore high
bonnet in theater. We also un-
derstand that the vigorous health
of q Philadelphia man who is now
in his nInety-ninth year is due to
the fact that he never went out
between the acts to make astro-
nomical observations through q
glass.
Hu Hesuen-yen, the Chinese
millionaire banker who died re-
Gently at Hong Chow, began life
as a clerk and by his native
shrewdness became the leading
business man of the nation. He
was one of the very few Chinese
to achieve great results from lowly
means in his own country.
Hugh McCulloch, ex-secretary
of the United States treasury, has
decided to the city of Fort Wayne,
Ind, his title to the old Broadway
cemetery OF ten acres, from which
most of the dead have been re-
moved. The condition of the deed, |
which the city council has by or
dinance accepted, is that the prop
erty shall be kept improved and
be known as McCulloch park.
"Papa," said the daughter of
large employer of labor, "are you
in favor of the eight-hour SYSTEM"
"Well, daughter" he answered, |
"under, certain circumstances, l |
am" 40, I'm so glad" she rap
turously exclaimed. "Why, my |
dear, why are you so interested?"
Because, papa, George has been
only staying four hours every
evening, and he told me last night
that if you favored the oight-hour
system he needn't go homo so
early. You dear old papa, Pm so
glad you are in favor Of it," and
she threw her soft white arms
about his neck and choked off all
xplanations.-W Washington Critic.
