How kse rroposee,.

He had thrown himself into an easy chair
in the club, says the San Francisco Chron-
icle. and lay there with one hand on his
forehead and an open letter in the other.
Whats the matter-sick?"
yes"
'Come and take drink"
mo. thank you; had enough. Say,
stick pin into me, won't you?"
what for?''
''Just to see if I'm awake"
"You're all right"
''Read this"
And he handed over the letter, which
read:
Ny Darling Jack: Mamma told me she met
you this morning. am so glad you're back
from Pasadena. Why, why did you not write
me line? Come up just as soon as you can.
l am longing to embrace you. Your own
JANE.
That's very pleasant"
''I es, but who IS it?"
Don't you know? 1 don't"
81 met Mrs. - to-day-by Jove, it's
her daughter! l say, what can this be?
Come to think of it, met the old man, too
and both of them were elusive and said
they expected me up tonight. Hush,
here's her cOuSin.''
And the cousin came up.
''Hullo, Jack! Back again? You lett
Mrs. Is reception that night two weeks
ago so suddenly did not have time to
speak to you. Jennie told us the news
when she got home, and l assure you we're
| all glad. You're going up tonight aren't
you? She's been wild for two weeks be-
cause you never wrote line.''
''Yes. yes. I'll be there tonight. They're
all well?"
Then he rushed Off and covered himself
over with newspaper, and it gradually
came TO him that in burst of champagne
enthusiasm he had proposed to Jennie in
the corner of a secluded drawing-room at
that reception, and there is no way out of
it until he can get an excuse to quarrel
with her and break it off.

a SELFISH WORLD.
How the People Of the City Passed
The Sabbath.

The mercury loomed up in the shade
Yesterday and the intense heat drove the
people from within the hot walls of their
homes into the parks and out into the
country. The outgoing morning trains
bore thousands of people, carelessly dressed,
intent on putting in the day as comfortably
as possible. and many of them, in addition
to the inevitable lunch basket, carried the
rod and reel. which indicated mild de-
fiance of the penal code. White Bear,
Bald Eagle, Bass and Forest lakes all
caught their share of pleasure seekers, and
the shimmering waters We're beaten by the
oars of hundreds of fishermen who roamed
aboat from place to place flushed with eX-
pectation Of outdOing each other in the size
of their catch. Some of them succeeded
in capturing a fine string of tinny beauties,
Others cast and recast their hooks and sat
and watched and became Sunburt, without
getting the satisfaction of a nibble. But it
was cool on theAakes and the change from
the sutfOcating streets of the city was
gratifying one.
A little past noon the II. W. Longfellow
steamed away from the jackson street dock
with its decks filled with men, women and
children bound up the river past the high
lands on to Fort Smelling and beyond to
Alinnehaha falls, where among the shad-
ows of the valley, the sweet fragrance of
the clover fields and in the quiet roar of
the pretty falls they might walk and talk,
'fOrgetful that there was such things as
business and care in the lie of man. The

who sought these breathing spots
because they were near at hand and within
easy reach after the Sunday dinner had
been discussed or the morning sermon en-
j0yed. These were the happy ones, but
there were those who were bound to beds
of pain and who were compelled to lie in
their misery through the long day and
highs, helpless, hopeless and unfortunate.
They at times thought of the beautiful
parks and the shaded woodlands and sighed
as they realized that they could not enjoy
their cool shadows and pure atmosphere:
but those who sat beneath the shadows of
the trees and listened to the dolce murmur-
ings of the fountains thought not of the
sick and sufferings ones who were denied
this enjoyment. But this is a world of

The ST. pauILxceurn

The ST. Paul lyceum, successor to the
Labor lyceum, had warm meeting last
evening. The whole time was taken I'D in
an interesting discussion of the constitution
and bylaws reported by the committee
and of points in parliamentary law The
bylaws as reported provided that members
should pay an initiation fee of so cents and
monthly dues of Is cents to pay hall rent.
etc. The principal discussion was
upon this point. Some thought that
membership plan which provided
for regular dues would deter many from
dropping in and taking part in the discus
sions which meant to be open to everyone
of whatever class or position, as they
would feel that they were in a measure in
truding themselves. The question was
finally laid on the table until the next meet
ing The attendance was good. and the
proceedings interesting. il but little was ac-
compiished. j. II. Burns editor of the
Labor Echo said that his opposition to the
old organization was from its taking of

Successful Explorations.

I Aparty sent out by the geological survey,
under the command of Capt. Clarence E.
Dutton, U. S. A., has succeeded in reach
ing and making a complete survey Of Crater
Lake in Oregon, a body Of water whose
shores, with the possible exception of one
point on the south side, have never before
been touched by the feet of white men.
The boats were hauled hundred miles by
mule teams, dragged by detail Of soldiers
up the snow clad sides of the ridge which
surrounds the lake, and lowered by ropes
from the crest to the water. 900 feet below.
One hundred and sixty soundinas were
made, the result Of which gave the general
character of the lake bottom. Two large
submerged cinder cones were found, re-
spectively 800 and 1000 feet high, the rest
Of the bottom being fiat. Capt Dutton be-
lieves it 10 lie the deepest body of fresh
water on the continent. The greatest
depth attained by the sounding line was g.
OO5 feet deep.

A Prohibitory Decision.

Judge David Martin, of the Second Ju-
dicial District Of Kansas, decided at Atchi-
son case of Importance under the prohibit
tory liquor law of Kansas. Assistant At
torney- General Tufts commenced proceed
ings to enjoin Zeibold Il Haselin, brewers
of Atchison from manufacturing and SELL
ing beer in the State of Kansas for pur-
poses not allowed by law. Application was
made for a transfer of the case to the
United States Circuit Court on the ground
that the prohi''itoly liquor law is in viola
dion of the Constitution of the United
States. Judge Martin refused the transfer,
on the ground that the Supreme Court of
the United States had already decided the
points at issue, and that there was no Fed
eral question involved requiring the fur
Their adjudication of the Federal courts.
Judge Martins decision is in opposition to
that of Judge Brewer, of the United States
Circuit Court, on the Walruff case, and of
the decision of Judge Love, of Iowa. The
power of the State to make and enforce its
own police regulators is asserted, and the
doctrine that state is under obligation to
pay for breweries and saloons iniuriously
affected by the operation of law, is contro-
verified.

Exploration of Alaska.

A report has been received at the Navy
Department from Lieut.. George M. Storey,
commanding the Alaska exploring expedi-
ton, dated Fort Casomos, Putnam River,
December 26, 1885. The report was for
warded by Post Assistant Engineer A. n.
Zane, who was sent out to explore the
country rs far as the Youkon River. Lieut..
Storey states that between the 10th and 10Th
Of December, accompanied by Engineer
Harvard, he made a sledging expedition to
the northward and reached the head waters
of the river, which flows to the northward.
The natives say that this river empties into
the Arctic near Point Barrow. Owing to
the shortness of the days, having only twi-
light and moonlight, he could not make
much Roadway, and regarded it more prac-
teal to continue exploring the country
nearer headquarters and take up the north
ern countries when the days lengthen.
Every effort would be made to explore the
mentioned river, and also to reach Point
Barrow, thereby completing the exploration
of Arctic Alaska. On his northern trip he
came across natives who had never before
seen white men and who were at first much
surprised to have white men come among
them. There were but two whites in the
party. Lieut.. Storey at first feared trouble,
/, but the natives proved to be very kind and
friendly. Their curiosity was, however,
beyond Imagination. Some of these na.

Calamitous Earthquakes.

Greece has again been visited by an
earthquake which has been most disastrous
in the Morea and in which the loss OF life,
according to the best information, reaches
800. The village of Pyrgo and town OF
Phlatria, both situated on the western
coast of the Moreo, were the chief sufferers,
and these furnish, it is believed, all that
have persisted. In Pyrgo not house is
left standing, while Philiatra is almost
swept from the face of the globe, swal-
lowed up in the commissions of the earth.
The shocks were experienced throughout
Greece in greater or less degree. In the
town Of Zante every house was damaged,
and the inhabitants fled in terror to the
open country. Several towns in Italy were
also visited by the earthquake, but not to
any serious extent. Naples, Brindisi, Fogia.
Cesena and Toronto being of the number.
The people were panic stricken and took
refuge in the fields and churches. A dis
patch from Naples says there have been
two eruptions of Vesuvius and the volcano
is still very active. Advices from Zante
say that excessive heat, dead Gains and I'M
usually high tides forewarned the inhabi-
tants. The earthquake center appears to
be in the sea at point thirty miles south
of Zante. The earthquake is supposed to
be of volcanic origin. Gables and telegraph
wires are broken and no news has been re-
ceived from the interior. The cathedral at
Pyrgs was destroyed.
