Yes, l agree with you that English
people are capable, somehow, of the
frankest bad manners in the world
Have you heard any of the funny stories
flying about that English couple touring
amongst us a while ago? Mr. and Mrs.
y They are both, you know, public
characters, both literary, learned in their
grooves, Madame aesthetic, Monsieur,
Reverend, philanthropic, and a musical
enthusiast.
A musical friend of mine met them
and was sufficiently fascinated by their
converse to mediate inviting them to
spend some days at her house. She
mentioned this project to the lady who
was entertaining them. Il have no
doubt you would make visit charming
to them," the lady replied "but before
you ask them, think l ought, inhos-
pitable as it seems, to give you some
slight account of our expersence as

Mrs Browning's conversation was
most interesting. She never made an
insignificant remark. All that she said
was always worth hearing; a greater
compliment could not be paid her. She
was most conscientious listener, giving
you her mind and heart as well as her
magnetic eyes. Persons were never her
theme unless public characters were I'M
der discussion or friends were to be
praised. One never dreamed of frivoli-
ties in Mrs. Browning's presence, and
gossip felt itself out of place. Yourself,
not herself, was always a pleasant sub
ject to her, calling out all her best
svmpathies in joy, and yet more in
sorrow. Books and humanity, great
deeds, and above all, politics, which in
clude all the grand questions OF the day,
were foremost in her thoughts and there
fore oftenest on her lips. speak not of
religion, for with her everything was re-
ligion.
Thoughtful in the smallest things for
others, she seemed to give little thought
to herself. The first to see merit she
was the last to censure faults, and gave
the praise that she felt with generous
hand. No one so heartily rejoiced at the
success of others; no one was so modest
in her own triumphs. She loved all who
offered her affection, and would solace
and advise with any. Mrs Browning
belonged to no particular country; the
world was inscribed upon the banner I'M
der which she fought. Wrong was her
enemy; against this she wrestled in what
ever part of the globe it was to be found.

Lozenges for Church Consumption.

On Saturday night an interesting
scene is to be witnessed in every town
and village in Scotland. 1t is a stream
of the natives in their Sabbath clothes
making for the small grocers. The
puzzled visitor little thinks that an in
quiry into the meaning of this would
give him the secret of Scotland's reputa-
ton of being kirk going people. What
every one is off to buy is bag of pepper
mint lozenges, and he always tells the
shopman to give him the change in half
pennies. The halfpennies are for the
plate, the lozenges for church consump-
ton. Many pounds of the kind known
as extra strong" are eaten throughout
the country at every service. There is
a great art in slipping them solemly
into your mouth, and long practice has
made some devout people so good at it
that they can do it though the minister's
eye be on them.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Pigtails, it may not be generally

When the present rulers of China, who
are Manchus, seized upon the empire

Shortly after O'Clock on Tuesday
afternoon, Edward O'Neill, the con.
ductor of shifting engine, went be-
tween two cars, at the West Yard, to
cat the train. AS soon as this was
done, and while he was coming from
betw ween the cars, he gave the signal to
the engineer to go ahead. The engine
was started at once and his foot WAS
caught by one of the car wheels which
pulled him down to the track and
dragged him about sixty or seventy
feet. Assistant Yardmaster Sidwell
was the first to notice the mans dan.
gerous position, and Immediately had
the train stopped, but by that time the
wheel had passed over him, almost cot
ting him in two and he died in few
minutes.
The mutilated remains were taken tc
the p, W. & B. Railroad station, and
removed from there to the morgue by
Undertaken Palmer. Later in the
Ievening they were taken to the late
residence of the deceased at No. Ole

held this evening. The unfortunate

Death of John Kelly,

Hon. John Kelly, of New York, who
died on Tuesday, was very different
character from that which the bitter
strifes of party factions and the pencil
of the caricaturist has made familiar
as the Chief of Tammany Hall. Mr..
Kelley was born in New York city
April 81, 1921. He was educated at the
public schools, and learned the trade of
mason, or CRATE setter, at which be
worked for several years. He entered
politics early in life, and In 1854 was
elected member of the Thirty fourth
Cons Rress, and was reelected to the
Thirty fifth, serving on the COMMITTEES
of Ways and Means. Before the close
of his second term he was elected High
Sheriff Of New York, and since that
time has been an active figure in city,
State and national politics.
He was delegate to the Chicago Con
vention of 1864. 1t was not, however
until the downfall of the Tweed Rinl
that Mr.. Kelly attained subsJan tia
power. He was absent in Europe dur.
ing the excesses OF the Ring, and wher
he returned organized the revolt which
prevented Tammany from being used
for the protection Of the rsscals. He
| was a bitter opponent OF Samuel j
Tilden, and, though beaten again and
again, persistently kept up his warfare
against the Tilden ad berents, frequently
defeating his party in city, STATE and
nation.
Personally, Mr.. Telly was charac er-
lied by great ply slcai strength, and
his skill In boxing led to story that
he had been prize fighter, bat this was
not the case. He was naturally derer
mined, obstinate, combative, but at the
same time straig ard and honest
In personal appearance he resembled
Gsneral Grant, and in his later years
at least, was cultivated man and q
plain, forcible speaker. Mr.. Kelly
| married the niece of Cardinal McClosk
ey, and took great interest in Catholic
| missions, to which he is said to have
contributed Sl00, 900, the proceeds of 9
lecture on the early missions which hi
frequently delivered.
A few years ago he was elected Comp
troller of New York, but he was not am
bilious for public place, being content
with his position as chief of great or
ganiZation which was frequently able
to control the political action of tn.
Democratic party in State and nation
Mr.. Kelly was suspected of having
been lukewarm In his support of Presi
dent Cleveland, If he did not actually
permit his followers to oppose the Dem
ocratic candidate for President, and
since that election i'll health has retired
him from active politics though he re
mained the nominal head of Tam many
Hall.

The decoration ceremonies at Calvary
Cemetery, Chicago, on Monday, came
very near ending In disgraceful row.
The decoration Of the graves was under.
taken by Mulligan Post, No. 398. Thirty
or forty veterans, accompanied by
several hundred citizens, went out to
Calvary and ranged themselves In line
in front of the monument to Colonel
Muliigan, after whom their post Is
named. Then Commander Linscott
stepped to the front and began @ brief
address. "Com rades," he said, 1--WE
are assembled here to day to pay our
respects to the memory of q soldier
whom we love TO honor, that brave
MulliRan, and 1 pray God that this
ceremony will keep green in your
Mr.. Linscott got no further. Super.
intendent Guinea, of the cemetery,
grasped the soldier by the arm. "This
has gone far enough" he said. "No
prayers can be offered here except by q
Catholic priest"
But was not Offering q prayer"
said Mr.. Linscott. sit was simply q
form of speech"
THAT does not make any difference,
remarked the superintendent. "You
can't go on with 1t In this cemetery"
The veterans, indignant at the inter
ruption, glanoed toward the burly su
perintendent. LETS put him out alto
gether!" "Ride him on the rail-"
yelled several voices threateningly at
once. Guinea looked at the excited
crowd, which was fast being augmented
by the people from the nei ghboring lots
who had heard the loud talking. Then
he turned and sought refuge In his pri-
vate Office. The soldiers then went on
W ith their ceremony.
