Mr.. Sam Small, the evangelist, will
have to keep a sharp lookout ON himself
II he wants to preserve his reputation as
good man. The Cincinnati Enquirer says
that he recently deposited at a bank a roll
Of greenbacks, in the middle OF which
were several pool checks "good for DC. at
the bar" The evident intention OF the
Enquirer was to create the impression
that Mr.. Small had been playing pool, but
anyone who thinks a moment about the
matter will see that the pool checks were
put into the collection basket by wicked
young men, and in that way got into MIR.

From the Boston Rtcord.

They are telling an old story about party
OF dry goods men who went out to the Pines
the other day In a two-seatod carriage. and
oealt so largely In goods that were mot dry
mat they were unable TO keep the rogd when
they came back, and drifted on upon the rail
ROAD track at the first crossing While they
were humping along home over the ties they
caught sight OF train coming ut full speed.
Iheir terror at the sight sobered them all up
In minute, and the urivcr attempted to turn
out OF the track, but the wheels OF the car
horses plunged and leaped, the pole was
broken straight on, the dry goods men yelled
win terror. The train came rushing down
track.

ChurchiIrs Scheme Condemned,

oHuTchiil SCnene condemned.
The delegates from Ireland to the Chi
cagO Convention condemn in strong
terms the little scheme OF Lord Randolph
Churchill for the improvement OF the con-
dition of Ireland. The scheme amounts
to very little, and if 1t were adopted would
fail to satisfy anybody. There is not
much prospect, however, that it will be
adopted.
The scheme for ireland which 1t ia
understood Lord Randolph Churchill
proposes to present 10 Parliament, en-
Iarges the powers OF county boards, rural
authorities, municipal councils ard
suburban administrations of all kinds.
1t also abolishes the various separate
existing forms OF local government and
substitutes one scheme which is 10 be
applicable 10 England as we'll as TO Ire
land.
Ireland is lighting for something more
than the present English Ministry pro-
poses to give Der, and il she has the pa
thence and self-restraint necessary to con-
tinue the struggle inaugurated by Par
nell in Parliament she will finally get
what she is seeking. The progress she
has made towards success since MIR. Par
nell became the leader OF the Irish cause
is sufficient 10 inspire confidence in the
ultimate success OF that cause. When
such 2 powerful leader as MIR. Gladstone
is woAnver to be one Of Its champions
there is no reason for thinking that any,
thing for lettering the condition of the
Irish people is impossible.

In paper in the Medical and Surgical
Reporter DR.. Thomas 8. Sozinskey, of
Philadelphia, gives some interesting NOR
shows that 'of 100 deaths reported during
the census year, 40 were of persousunder D
years. 70 Of persons under 20. only % Of
persons over 30 and only 10 of those over
10. In England and Wales. where the vi
tai statistics are accurate, the deaths
from to 90 years OF age in 1890 were less
than per cent. of the whole, as against
over II per cent. in the United States.
From 20 to 80 they were 81 per cent. there
and in the United States from 90 to so
they were "a per cent. In England
the deaths Of persons over Is years
20 here. In England and Wales only 80
per cent. of the deaths were of persons
over As years, and in the United States
only 30 per cent. were of those over 40
years." Human life, it seems, is longest
in France and Ireland. Although Ireland
is regarded as deficient In sanitation, near
ly in 100 Of the deaths are of persons over
81; only about 50 per cent. are under 20;
about AZ per cent, or nearly one-half, are
over 40. France is another country which
is regarded as behind the age with re-
spect TO sanitary science, and yet As per
cent. OF the deaths are Of persons over 80,
% per cent. over 10, only 90 per cent. of
children under 5 years, and only per
cent. of young people from to 20.

Coy. Hill Attacked.

The Squire-Flynn corruption business
is assuming very interesting proportions
in New York. On the testimony which
was taken before him during the investi-
CATION OF the charges against Squire,
Mayor Grace has recommended the re-
mOEal OF Squire from the Office Of Com
missioner Of Public Works. 1t is for Gov.
Hill to say whether Squire shall be re-
moved or not Already some OF the news
papers have begun TO attack him, and
charge that if he does not approve the
Mayors recommendation he Will make
himself partner OF Squire and Flynn.
That an attack OF this kind is unjust and
uncalled for is evident. The Governor
has nothing to do with the corrupt bar
gain entered into by Squire and Flynn, and
there ia no reason why he should be
charged with being a partner of Squire
and Flynn IL he does not remove Squire.
There may be reasons why he should not
remove MIN until the Indictment against
him is tried. On that trial something
might be developed which would show
Squire to be innocent OF any intentional
wrong doing, though that Is hardly prob
able.
If the Governor doesn't promptly re-
move Squire, 1t will be said, doubtless, by
his enemies, that Flynn is such powerful
factor in New York city politics that ne
does not dare to remove Squire for fear
OF mourning Flynn's enmity. 1t Is un-
derstood that the Governor is an aspirant
for the Presidency, and before he could
hope for success In that direction he
would have to have the solid delegation
of New York. 1t is hardly probable, now
ever, that if he thinks that Squire should
be removed at once, he would hesitate to
do mis- duty for fear Of arousing the hos
tility of a powerful local boss In New
York city.

Very many people commit suicide whe n
they are awake, but it is seldom that any
body commits suicide when asleep. A
lady OF New Iberia, La, however, a few
nights ago committed suicide while in a
somnamhulistic condition. Her name was
Broussard, and she is represented to have
been a very charming, highly educated
and highly connected lady. On Monday
night after entertaining a few friends she
retired to her room. At a late hour she
lett her bed, dressed, completing her
toilet with bonnet and shawl, and left the
house. She made her way to the railroad
track, and seated herself upon the rails.
When the a. m. west-bound Texas ex-
press came along the engineer saw an OBJ
ject upon the track and sounded an alarm.
The train was brought to a standstill, and
some of the trainmen went to the lady,
took her off the track. and left her stand
ing in the street. The train was again
started, when she sprang forward and
threw herself under the wheels OF one of
the coaches, which passed over her,
crushing her to death. The evidence that
she was totally unconscious Of what she
was doing is satisfactorily strong.

Some OF the Atlanta anti-prohibltionists
are trying to break prohibition down in
that city before 1t has been given a fair
trial. They are afraid, probably, that II
will eventually prove to DO a success, in
which event it would become permanent.
They want, therefore, to getrid Of IT while
there is still chance TO do so. There is
no doubt that prohibition is a good thing
for Atlanta. SIZE may lose her whisky
and beer trade, but other trade will sup
ply the place made vacant by those two
articles. Atlanta need not get excited
over the probability that the good people,
who have been accustomed to get their
whisky from Atlanta, will have TO go
without their WHISKY. Savannah has
stock enough to supply their wants.

A Story of Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Among the "Recollections of Emf,
nent Men" by the late Edwin 2. Whip,
ple. the genial and gifted critic, is a
story about Emerson that illustrates
in droll fashion the impression made
by the transcendental philosopher
upon the bucolic m ind:
The raciest testimony that ever
came within my knowledge to the
soundness of Emerson in practical
matters was delivered by sturdy,
stalwart Vermonter in car on the
Fitchburg railroad. My journey was
to be a tedious one OF three hundred
miles. and when took my seat IN the
car / felt that my fellow passengers
would give me no such glimpses into
their characters as would be af1orded
by a ride OF ten miles in stage coach
In a railroad car the passengers are
oloomily reticent, as if they expected
TO be launched into eternity at any
moment; in a stage they indulge IN all
the fury of gossip and reveal them
selves while praising or censurlng oth'
ers. There were two persons IN 'front.'
