A LUCKY ACCIDENT.

EX-Gov. DAVIS is getting the bulge on
his senatorial competitors. He has been
invited to deliver the address at the OPEN
ing of the Minneapolis Exposition, and has
accepted. Gov. DAVIS is less of politi-
clan than he is given credit for being, if he
lets this opportunity slip to get in
some goods licks in his senate
lal canvass. The Exposition directors
ID some difficulty in securing an orator

thing and very naturally the directors

the selection. 1t is conceded that Gov.
DAVIS is fully competent to perform the
task with singular ability. But if a man

NEW ORLEANS, La, Aug. S.-About II
o'clock last night, white man named
Henri Alters committed suicide by jumping
into the river at the head of Common street.
His blue check coat, derby hat and corncob
pipe were found on the wharf. In his coat
was found copy of Chicago paper of
July 26, and the following letter:

THEYOVERDID IT.

The members of congress who devoted
their time and abilities to the subject of
civil service reform during the past session
find their fences sadly out of repair on their
return home. These well-meaning states
men did not seem to realize that it was the
offices, and not amendments to the civil SER
vice rules, that the constituency at home
were after. AS will be seen from
the GLOBES Washington dispatches
some of the most prominent civil service
reformers in congress have discovered
since their return home that they could not
afford to make canvass on their civil SER
vice record. and have declined to become
candidates for reelection. The moral of
it all is that the people of this great repub-
lie are fond of pie. They want the offices
and they want them bad.

which she received as a child and, as she is

Will probably never outgrow it. When she
was quite little girl she attended a district
school in one of the western counties of New
York. Living some distance from the school
house, which was in a clearing in a dense
forest OF maple trees, she carried her dinner
and remained, as did many other children, at
the school house during the noon hour"
Zone noon, early in the spring, the girls
were all gathered around each other, as girls
have habit of doing, eating their dinner. All
at once one member of the party discovered
a snake in the school-room. The snake dashed
around the room unable to conceal itself or
to get away. The girls rushed for the door,
and to their horror found it locked, the work
of the boys who had put the snake in the
room to brighten them. On benches and
seats they got, yelling and crying as only
girls know how to do the snake. meanwhile,
as frightened as the girls, continued its search
for place to hide"
1.-The girls were all quite young, and were
all timid about snake. They agreed there
fore, to get out of a window, and leave the
snake in possession. A window was raised
by means of bench which they placed I'D
against the wall, and it was agreed that my
sster-in-law should hold the window up while
the others got through, when they would hold
it up for her. AS soon as they got out, the
girls ran away and left little Nettie-for that
her name. She became frightened and let
the window drop, and tainted. On the floor
she was found by the school teacher when he
returned to the school-room, and for weeks
she was not expected to live from the effects
of brain fever. The snake was perfectly harm
less, and was easily killed. but the fright she
experienced will be with her through life.
She never will get over it."

British Politics,

LONDON, Aug. S.-The National Lib
eral federation has issued a magnifesto
saying:
Although the result of the elections has not
realized our hopes, the situation is encourage
ing, the supporters of half measures being
the smallest groups in Parliament. Mr.
Gladstone has secured the support of a vast
majority of the Liberals and Liberal organi-
cations. AS far as the federation is con-
cerned the results of the appeal to the coun-
try completely justify the course taken by
the council. Greatly as we regret our losses
the manner in which Liberals responded to
Mr.. Gladstones appeal proves that the feder-
alton represents the real opinion of the Lib
eral party. That party, being committed to
affecting union between England and Ire
land will never abandon that object until
that goal has been reached. No progress is
possible in Liberal work until that has been
settled, nor will the conservatives be able to
indulge in congenial inactivity. 1t is the i'm
perative duty of Liberals to obtain at the
earliest possible moment an explicit state
ment of the Tory policy in regard to Ireland
The Gladstone policy still lives and its ulti-
mate triumph is assured.

family had retired, loaded his shotgun
and concealed himself in the bushes near
his bee-hives to guard them from the raw
ages or thieves, by whom he had recently
been robbed. After he had been Oh duty

guard the hives, Lot knowing that his father
was engaged in the occupation. He loaded his
gun and walked to the door where he stood

around in the bushes, shot his father in the
breast. The latter, thinking he had been
shot at by thief, returned the fire, filling
his sons face with buckshot. Both are
seriously injured.

QUEENSTOWN, Aug. S.-Three thousand
persons assembled to-day to bid goodbye
to the delegates to the meeting of the Irish
National league of America. Mr.. O'Brien,
in reply to an address. said that he was go
ing to confer with the greater Ireland
across the ocean on the political situation.
Should coercion be attempted, he said, Ire
land would be ready to meet it undaunted.
In the meantime he advised every Irisman
to do his utmost to maintain peace, in order
not to give a pretext for coercion. MI.
Redmond in speech said that nothing less
than Mr.. Gladstone's measure would satisfy
Ireland. The mayor and several members
of the house of commons accompanied the
delegates on the tender which convened
them to the steamer. The greatest enthu-
SiaSm was manifested.

Burglars Captured.

New YORK, Aug. S.-For several days
past four suspicious looking characters have
been lettering about the village of Astoria
L. l., and as their attention seemed mainly
given to the p0Stotfice, it was decided by
the authorities on Saturday to put an extra
watch on the building. The postmaster,
three inspectors and two detectives COM
posed the guard. While lying in wait
about midnight OH Saturday, they
saw four men force the fastenngs
from rear door and enter the building.
After allowing few minutes to eapse the
watchers surrounded the building and
called upon the marauders to surrender.
They were answered by fusilade from
the burglars revolvers. The fire was
promptly returned and resulted in the
woundng of one man. He and another
were captured and taken to the station
house, but the other two escaped.

The school Teacher,

sI taught school one term" exclaimed a
well-fed and well-dre ssed man, the occupant
of the presidents private car on one of the
Western railroads, addressing the officials of
that line.
ut was the toughest school that I ever
heard of and as result OF my good manage
ment, 1 had the choice OF the school for a
second term, but felt that l had enough of
the good things of this cart b and was willing
to share that school with anybody who de-
sired. 1t was in Missouri, not far from Han
nibal. Right after the war the district schools
in that section were attended by great
many grown boys who had been Off in the
army, and, coming home, waEted to catch
up with their education. This particular
school was noted for its bad boys. They had
run out no less than five different teachers
within the preceding two years.
'Of course had no difficulty in getting
the school, although the directors looked at
me in plying kind of way as we completed
arrangements. One of them asked me if I
was acquainted at all in the district or had
ever heard of the school. I answered in the
affirmative, as l happened to know an old
farmer living there who moved out from
Pennsylvania, my old home, and he told me
about the school, but of course did not tell
me of the trouble the teachers had to hold it
l knew all about 1t, however, before school
opened and acted accordingly.

quite large, including all the big boys. ]
