MIDST THE MADDING THRoNG.

look at that man?" exclaimed a young
woman, addressing her escort, and directing
his attention to German-looking Individual
in front of them who walked in most zig
gag manner. He made many and peculiar
turns as he moved along the street.
whats so striking in that man?' asked
the escort OF his female companion.
Isn't he intoxicated?
mot a bit of it. He is as sober as Judge.
See, he is reading a vocal score as ne goes
along
''What is the matter with him, then. Why
does he make so many turns?''
He is the leading tenor in one of these
oratorio singing societies, and is trying to
turn the tune by making turns in his path.

A pedestrian whose manly breast was
decorated with German silver plated medals,

the several contests in which he took part,
came into the Office of the Soldiers home.
He was attired in short clothes and blue hosed

"You can't get up a race here,'' responded
the official. NEARLY all our inmates are
cripples. Many of them have but one leg
and others have but one arm. The others are
old and infirm. The old soldiers are cripples.'
''That's what l thought continued the
pedestrian, ''and that's the reason why I came
here. Pm looking for somebody that 1 can
outwalk. I've tried able-bodied men and have
always come out second best. Just give me
show at the crippleS. I'd like to see how it
feels to come out first. l challenge any and
all cripples in the United States, and bar none
of them. You might make it open to the

'Please ct me have dollar" said a red
nosed and impecuniouS individual, ''my
father is dead and want to go to his funeral -
Remarkable man was your father,'' re-
marked the person applied to.

battle OF Gettysburg for the federals.' con-
tinued the whisky-scented mendlcant.

resurrection powers. He has come to life no
less than three times within the past year,
and you have asked me for money to attend

party too many times. I'll either have to

The look of T-am-better-dressed -than-thou
which passes from two well-dressed women as
they meet on the street is as near contempt
as can be delineated on the top of this bread
and butter world by means of the human
eyes. 1t is discounted, however, by the sight

to pass a fellow turner-out-of-tunes who is
engaged in the music-killing business.

A Defaulter,s suicide.

BOSTON. Mass, Aug. 1S.-lt has been
definitely learned that Gray, the defaulting
treasurer of the Atlantic and Indian Or
chard mills, has committed suicide. His
body was found this morning at Blue Hills.
Samuel II. PaySon to-day made an assign
ment to Samuel johnson, of Hovey Sc Co.
The announcement of this assignment
caused great surprise, as PaySon had been
considered one of the wealthieSt
men in Boston. His financial difficulty, it
is stated, has been caused by Endorsement
of paper of the Indian Orchard mills which
are virtually owned by him and his family.
William Gray, Jr., whose dead body was
found this morning. was treasurer of this
mill and Payson's assignment is the natural
sequel of Grays heavy defalcation. Mr..
Payson is man Of the highest standing,
and his difficulties elicit sympathy
from every quarter. aud it is thought by
many that they will prove only of a tenn
porary nature. Payson has submitted his
resignation as president of the City ma
tional bank, and it will be acted upon by
the directors at meeting tomorrow. His
liabilities are estimated at about $3.50. 600.
PaysOn stated this morning that he thought
he had ample funds to pay every item of
his Indebtedness in full. but his affairs are
in such condition that his property could
not be realized on at decent value at
forced rate, so he believed it for the best
interests of everyone to make an assign
ment. The failure is due to shrinkage in
shares OF the Indian Orchard mills. Pay

LET HARMONY PREVAIL.

1t will be extremely unfortunate if, as
seems likely, the national league convention
in Chicago should be split up into contend
operation that the friends of Ireland can
expect to accomplish any thing towards ex-
acting the justice they demand. Internal
dissension, especially in such an important
and representative body as the convention
now assembling in Chicago, would do much
b defeat the object for which all the
friends of the Emerald Isle are laboring.
This convention will be watched with in
tense interest in England as well as in this
country, and its influence will be percepti
bly, felt. Its recommendations will have
great weight with the Irish party, and its
moral effect upon the English people will
not be small. Such being the case. its
actions and utterances should be carefully
weighed, and its deliberations should be
characterized by dispassionate wisdom. A
different order of things will prevail, though,
Ii the incipient disagreement which has
appeared is not speedily checked. The ma
jority of the delegates believe that Ireland's
rause is only to be forwarded by peaceful
duu uOtllUiAy olo0pp1OfO VI IllluS
like the exertion of physical force. In fact
1t is through their strong condemnation of
Rll forceful measures that they have &C
uuired the sympathy of the unbiased public
IN their noble efforts for Ireland's freedom.
If, on the other hand, the convention in
dorses, even tacitly, as minority desires it
to do, harsher measures. then the conven-
ton will have done far more harm than
good by its meeting, and the impression
produced by it will be wholly bad. For
this reason it is to be hoped that Mr..
FINERTY and his followers, who believe in
not condemning the actions of the extrem-
lists. will not be allowed to control the con-
vention or permitted to have teo great voice
in its proceedings. Much has been accom-
plished in 1reland's favor already, and the
advantage gained is too great to be jeopar-
died by the airing of injudicious views by
hot-headed and unreasonable delegates
whose patriotism is in excess of their COM
mon sense.

THE INDIAN COMMISSION.

It seems that the Indian commission did
not have an altogether harmonious time of
1t in their negotiations with the White
Earth Indians and, if the reports are true,
have arranged treaty which cannot stand
the test necessary before it can become
valid. The difficulty was with the young
half-breeds and young Indians, led by the
son of the head chief, who are better edu-
eated than their sires. They demand the
right to hold lands in severalty. and require
that the right now possessed by the agent
to order them off the reservation for petty
Dffenses be taken away and in it's place
courts established which shall have juris-
diction over matters in which the agent
now has complete and arbitrary power. 1t
takes a two-thirds majority to ratify the
treaty, and the young men are in sufficient
force to refuse the necessary assent, even
though the council does concur in the
views taken by the commission. The
ELoBE's informant, who enjoys excep-
honal facilities for thorough acquaintance
with the matter, further says that the COM
mission arbitrarily forced the treaty upon
the council and attempted to secure its
adoption by species of bull-dozing. While
)very one who is acquainted with Bishop
WHIPPLE's long and self-sacrifcing efforts
Tor the amelioration of the condition of the
Minnesota Indians will be slow to believe
he has done anything during the progress of
The negotiations except what was actuated
by sincere desire for the Indians welfare.
The provisions which the younger Indians
lsk to be inserted in the treaty seem rea-
,onable enough and ought to receive care
.uI consideration. The work of the COM
mission, however, is at best an extremely
rduous one and there is every probability
hat it is performing its duty in the best
manner possible.

How go Keep Cool.

A thing you must avoid in order to keep
cool. You must not run for office-nor for
anything else. Walk always, if you can't
afford to ride.
Politics and perSpirati0n are synonymous.
Therefore avoid both.
Don't rush things at this time of the
year. Go slow. Let up on yourself. If
you are business man take it easy. In
the quaint words of familiar Irish maxim,
IF you can't be alsy, be as aisy as you
can" OF course you say, you must keep
the mill grinding: so much business must
be done and so much money must be made.
Perhaps so, but you can't afford to make as
large profit in July and August as you do
in September and October. ---~----
What? Not afford to keep things hum
ming along at the same high pressure all
the year round?
No, sir; you can't afford it, Flesh and
blood won't stand it, Hand and heart and
brain won't endure it, Men are not made
OF cast-iron, and they will wear out mighty
quick if they don't slacken speed once a
year and replenish their stock of physical
vitality.
Take it easy good merchant and man Of
business. Come to business a little later,
go home little earlier, linger little longer
at the lunch table. and if you can't go off
for square months rest up in the noun
tain or down by the sea. take a fortnight;
if not a fortnight, then week: if not a
week, then snatch day off every week for
the next six weeks, and make the most of
it.
Don't say that the business can't get
along without you. That's nonsense. 1t
can. You know it can. The business of
the world got along very well before you
took hold. 1t will get along finely after
you have worked yourself to needlessly
early end.
One of the drollest characters in this
world is the business man who has made
up his mind that the office or the store
couldn't run day, you know, without
me-"

AUGUST NIETEORs.
The Fiery swarm Into which the
Earth is Sure to Plunge Hhis

The Fiery swarm Into which the
Earth is Sure to Plunge Ahis
Month.
Providence journal.
The best behaved of all the meteor
streams holds its anniversary on the 10th.
and the few days preceding and following.
The Tears of st. Lawrence, it is called, be-
cause it makes its appearance on the day
sacred to the memory of that august saint.
We call this zone the best behaved of the
family because the fiery rain never fails to
fall, and no one is disappointed who looks
skyward when the shower is due and the
clouds are kind. The tiny atoms of which
it is composed are sure to impnge against
the earth'S atmosphere, burst into yellow
stars, and descend with trains of silvery
light.
The August meteors consist of swarm
OF particles following Comet H., 1862, in
Its orbit. The disintegrating process has
been carried on so long that the debris of
the comet are evenly scattered throughout
the gigantic ellipSe in which they wander.
One extremity of the zone crosses the
earth's orbit and the other extends far be-
You'd Neptune. The earth encounters this
meteor zone on the 10th of August, and
countless metoers falling from the skies at
test the fact that the earth is then plunging
full tilt through the swarming atoms.
Last year there was ali unusually fine
show OF the PersdS, as they are called. 1t
is well to be on the watch for the coming
occasion, for such is the uncertainty of
operations in the c0metic family, that
grand outburst is not impossible at any
time. Therefore observers should dill
gently watch the northeastern sky and the
constellation Perseus, the radiant point
about which the meteors congregate. The
earth win plunge into the meteor zone as
surely as she. turns upon her axis, and if the
fiery shower is unusually brilliant, obsery-
ers will be on hand to see the exhibition
and count the meteors as they fall. Only
those that start from Perseus are Persids.
The sky is aglow with other meteor streams,
radiating from other considerations, for
more than million meteors, large enough
to be visible to the naked eye on dark,
clear night, fall from the sky every twenty
four hours

THE WHITE CROSS SOCIETY


1t has long been asserted that the good
ilden time, when chivalry was creed and
reverence toward all womankind one of its
cardinal articles of belief has become little
more than memory. The record of crime,
he wide extent of social vice, and the in
Inference with which it is regarded, would
Ieem TO bear out the statement. At pres
int morality and virtue are thought well
enough in women, but the man of the
world regards them, from a personal stand
point, as empty names designating kind
Of straight-laced mawkshness which it is
well to avoid. The consequence is natural
and inevitable. Society becomes aware of the
widespread existence of vice, but
politely chooses to ignore it be-
cause it is not pleasant to have such

Special to the GLOBE.
Boston, Aug. 16.-Mrs. Robinson, the
Someryille borgia, charges Edward Cox, a
real estate agent, with poisoning the old
man Sleeper five years ago. Cox was a
poor cobbler in Somerville in 1880. A few
months later Mr.. Sleeper made him his
man of business and he invested for him
$4,000 or more, when the old man died
suddenly. Shortly after Mrs. Robinson said
to one of the neighbors that she believed
Cox killed him by putting poison in piece
of pie which Sleeper ate. The woman
with whom Mrs Robinson talked became
suspicious Of her rather than of Cox. Mr..
Cox is still in the real estate business in
Somervlle.
81 am inclined to think" said q Somerville
physician to-day, THAT the woman
HAS MONEY CONCEALED
somewhere. At times she spent money lib
orally, but her receipts appear to have been
enormous, if the stories told are true. Sue
must have received in all $25, 900 during the
past six years or SO. Then she boarded with
various people, got her money, but didn't
even pay the rent. She must have money
concealed somewhere now
A friend of Mrs. Robinson in Boston
says:
strangely enough, whenever anyone in
TIM family died Mrs. Robinson would notify
us by eaboratey-printed cards, accompanied
by an invitation to the funeral. Here is the
one she sent when Lizzie died.
The card had wide, black border,
within which was printed the following in
a variety of fancy letters:
In affectionate remembrance Of Lizzie,
daughter of S. j. and the late Moses Robin
son, who died Feb. 22, 1885, aged "a years and
l mouth.
In the realm beyond the stars,
Past the gate which death unbars,
she is waiting for us there.
81 understand" continued it's owner,
''that Mrs. Robinson claims the poetry as an
original attempt, but there are those who say
1t may be found in one of the old-time psalm
books
Mrs. Robinson and Smith will have
hearing tomorrow in the Somerville
court.

Some Pertinent Points.

EreebOrn County Standard.
Why are all the great monopoly insurance
companies supporting McGill? Is it because
for thirteen years as insurance commissioner
of this state he has been their virtual agent?
Why does Loren Fletcher support McGill?
Why does the Millers' association want him
to be governor? Why does the Pioneer Press,
the organ of all the monopolies, support him?
These are significant inquiries, and if he
should be nominated they will be discussed,
and the damaging answers in detail will be
spread among all the people of this state.
In the present state of feeling on labor issues
McGiIrs nomination would be suicidal to the
Republican party, and we have supposed that
it was not ready to end its career in Mime
sofa in so tragieally foolish a way.

1t has been most freely and frequently
charged or credited to Luther that he was
the author of the famous rollicking coup
let:
''Wer NIGHT eib Webb Vein und Gesaug,

No evidence of the truth of this ascri bed
authorship has ever been discovered; and
now DR.. Schulze brings evidence that the
old couplet substantially, is considerably
older than Luther. 1t the Reformatorium

1894, it is said:
