A FUNNY WORLD is THIS.

This world IS very funny,
For no matter how much money
Man Is earning he will spend IT, and be hard up all
the Time
To his utmost he Is straining
To catch up without attaining,
Till he makes his liiss burden when II should be
bliss sublime.
He who earns thousand merely,
Thinks two thousand dollars yearly
Would be- just the figures 10 make happiness com
plete;
Buthis income when Il doubles,
Only multpics his troubles
For his outgo then increasing makes his both ends
worse TO meet
II Is run In debt and borrow,
Flush today and broke tomorrow,
FinOnciering every which way 10 postpone the day
of doom;
Spending money ere he makes II,
And then wondering what takes Il,
Till he giving up the riddle, looks Tor rest within
the tomb.
oh. this world Is very funny
To the average man whose money
Doesn't quite pay Tor the dancing that he docs be-
fore he should;
And he kills himself by trying
Just n little higher flying
Than is suited Tor his pocket aud his own eternal

IRISH LAND PURCHASE.
The Government Makes a Few Con
cessions to the Opposition.

The Government Makes a Few Con-
cessions to the Opposition.
LONDON, Nov. 28.-The debate on the
Irish land purchase bill! was resumed in the
House Of Commons this evening. Mr..
Mahoney, nationalist. moved the insertion
in the bill of a new clause to the effect that
the land commission shall take as security
for the payments by tenants of their in
stallments, Improvements executed by the
tenant, or his predecessor, in his title
Mr.. Balfour opposed the motion on til o
ground that it would introduce great con-
fusion, and also, because it was against the
interests of the purchasing tenant.
The motion was rejected by vote Of 139
to GA.
CONCESSIONS BY THE GOVERNMENT
Mr.. Smith, the government leader, ap-
pealed to the House to assist in closing the
discussion on the bill. The government, he
said, was desirous of meeting the opposition
as far as possible, and would accept a series
of amendments proposed by Mr.. Healy,
relating to sub-letting to laborers, and also
a provision that the land commission shall
not sanction an advance Of money to a
tenant, unless they are certain that the ap-
plication of the tenant was not made under
duress. The government also intended to
promote the bill dealing in the registration
OF titles.
Messrs. Morley and Shaw-IeFevre both
expressed themselves as satisfied with these
concessions.
Mr.. Smith thereupon moved that the pur-
chase bill be read the third time. Mr. Healy,
however, objected on account of undue
haste. and the house adjourned.
In the House of Commons this evening,
Mr.. Balfour said that Edward Harrington
would not be arrested under the pending
warrant against him during the debates on
the Irish estimates
Mr. Smith announced the withdrawal of
the Whiel tax bill.
At Mr.. Parnelps request Mr.. Power re-
sumes the position of Parnellite whip, in
place of Mr.. Shiel. Mr.. Power is popular
in all sections.

ously i'll, so that members of her family re-
quested DR.. c. l.. Smith and several other

ance, and Sunday night she rallied so that

toms became so alarming that Gen. Sher
man was advised to telegraph for his chill
dren.
DR.. Smith remained at the house all
night, together with professional nurses.
During the night Mrs. Sherman slept quietly
during short periods, but at O'Clock this

HRONEK'S HEARING.
He Denies That he is an Anarchist OF.
Plotted to Kill

Plotted to Kill
CHICAGO, Nov. 2s.--The criminal court
room was crowded this morning when the
Hronek dynamite trial was resumed
Hronek had changed good deal in his
appearance since yesterday morning. He
looked worried, and shifted about nervously
in his seat and eagerly listened to every
word of testimony
The first witness was Officer Muchaski,
one of Inspector Bon6eld's Bohemian de
tectives. He gave the jury the details of
the confession made by Hronek after his
arrest. After the conspirators had been
locked up in Jail Muchaski visited Hronek
in his cell. Hronek had copy of the Daily
NelCs in his hand. "lhave just been reading
here, ;" he said, that some of the people who
were arrested with me are giving things
away AID putting all the blame on me.
Now, l am going to tell the whole truth"
THE CONFESSION.
MuchaskI then arranged a meeting be-
tween Hronek, Inspector Bonfield and
stenographer in the library of the jail
Hronek's revelations at this and subsequent
interviews was stated. This officers testi-
mony was corroborated in part by Officer
Louis Haas.
Officer Shainer testified that on July 90,
in the states attorneys office, in an ad-
ditional statement, Hronek said that Capek
told him that the German anarchists wanted
to start fire in the city to avenge the death
OF Spies. Capek had also given him some
bombs, because, as Capek said, he was
too well known to use them. Inspector
Bon1eld was cross-exami ed without re-
suit, and the state rested its case
For the defense Hronek was put on the
stand, and said that he was not an anarchist
and never had been. He never belonged to
an auarchistic society aud did not believe
there was such thing in existence.
GENERAL DENIAL.
He then made a general denial of the
truth OF Chleboun's story. He never made,
manufactured, bought, sold or procured
any dynamite. He never said that he threw
the bomb at the Haymarket, and was not
there. He had never been harmed by Bon
field, Gary or Grinnell, and had no reason
for seeking revenge on them, nor did he
ever threaten to do SO. He never said that
he was prepared to kill President Cleveland
or would go into the court room with bombs.
Karafiat, he said, left a box of bombs and
dynamite at bis house in October, 1886, and
never returned tor it, He had never heard
from Karafat but once since then and that
was when he received a letter from him
dated at Memphis last May. Soon after
the bombs were left at his house,
HroneR said he grew afraid and
threw fifteen OF them into the river. On
cross-exanlnation Hronek said that the
cans found in his woodshed were put there
by an old man who boarded at his house
and who picked them up on the lake front
among refuse They were designed to hold
paint, and for other harmless uses.
The hearing was ad journed till Friday,

Georges Bank, having on board Capt. Oar
rah and the crew of the brig Mary Fink,
picked up yesterday evening twenty five
miles southeast of Thaters island.
Capt. Darrah states that he sailed from
Bath at o'clock Sunday morning for Phil

Seauin it began to blow and snow. The
vessel was ming a southerly course under
her upper and lower topsails The wind
increased to hurricane, and the set sails
were blown into ribbons. The sea washed
everything movable from the decks and
carried away the rails and bulwarks.
SPRINGS A LEAK.
The vessel was hove to Sunday night and
had begun to leak. The men worked in
cessantly at the pumps. but the water gained
50 fast and the vessel rolled so heavily that
they we're forced on Monday forenoon to
abandon her, she having become unmanage-
able. The crew took to the boats. Two
seamen were badly injured bv seas break
ing over the vessel They lay by
the brig all night, and several of
the crew were badly frost-bitten,

hold, and they returned to the boat. The
Percy arrived when the crew were almost
exhausted, having had no food for forty
eight hours.

After Cannon.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 2s.--Col. Victor
Baughman, state comptroller, and one OF
the state fishery board, has been aboard the
state steamer McLane, making a secret
official investigation of tho Chesapeake bay
oyster troubles. His report submitted TO
the board to-day states that the state force,
though willing to carry out the laws, was
without proper equipment; that officers
complain when violators of the oyster laws
are brought before justices of the peace, or
arraigned in court, delays are interposed
aud technical defenses allowed that result
in the acquittal OF the accused. This tends
to demoralize the force. The
board determined that every effort
should he made TO bring the offenders to
punishment and to uphold the dignity Of
the state. Sealed orders were sent to the
deputy commanders Of the force. It was
resolved TO equip every vessel with cannon
as well as other weapons, and to secure the
use OF these the governor and comptroller,
as directed, went 10 Washington.
