Frolic from dawn to eve in merry bands,
Building their houses, that so soon must

Whisper Of love beneath the summer

For to her ears 1t bears the ceaseless bur

With tranquil spirit muse upon the past,

In the United States Senate on the
oath the message from the President on
the subject of the rejection Of the Fish
cries Treaty was read. MI. Sherman
moved that it be printed and referred
to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
After a lengthy discussion OF the mes

action. The conference report on the
bill for the construction of an apprais-
sr's warehouse in New York was
agreed to, after which the Senate ad-
liourned.

An Anecdote About Sheridan.

"Stories or "reminiscences about Lit
tie Phil' S~heridanY" unused Colonel
| William Sexton. 81 can tell you a
| story about Pills father that Is pretty
good. l remember telling this story to
a crowd at "a meeting of the Loyal
Legion one night, General Sheridan
was one Of the party and enjoyed the
yarn hugely. He neither affirmed nor
denied the truth of the story, and I'll
give it to you for what it Is worth.
Phil Sheridan's father, John Sheridan,
was a good old Irishman back in York
State. He was something of a polItl-
clan in those days, always voting the
straight Democratic ticket. The Con-
gressional District was largely Demo-
| cratic. One day an old friend of his
of the same nationality and of the same
jolly old class-came to old man SheIi-
dan and says: John. I've a great
moind to run for Congress. There's
darned sight bigger fools than myself
In Washington. If you'll back me, old
man, I'll give them a whirl just for the
fun of the thing Sheridan promised
his hearty cooperation, and his friend
secured the nomination and was elected
Wy y iouoiuS hdJoiitJ. ilo Wout "
Washington and served his first term,
acquitting himself fully as well as the
majority Of his associates. On his re-
turn home he went to the house of his
| old friend John Sheridan. After Il
general conversation about the scenes
and events at Washington, the newly
fedged statesman said:
John, l have found out that have
the appointment of a Cadet think
that's the name-to a Government
school at West Point. 1 have decided
to send one of your sons. Now, which
one shall 1 name, Mike or Pail?
1.-THE old man thought a while and
asked; "What kind of a school did you
say it was, PATTI"
"'Faith, 1 don't know jIst what
kind of a school it is, but from what
I can learn it's a place where they
make soljers.'
"tSoljers,' meditated the old GENTLE
man, glancIpg at the two boys, who
were most attentive listeners. I'M
tell you what you do, Pat. Foind out
list what kind OF a place this Govern
ment school is. If It's a school whore
they teach book Farming In send Mike,
but if it's fighters they want, be the
powers I'll send Phil, who can lick
any boy in the district"
"After the necessary investigation
had been made" continued Colonel
Sexton, ''the old man selected Phil,
and that was how be came to 60 to
West Point. His subsequent career
demonstrated that neither his father
nor his Congressional friend made any
mistake.'

The Stevens Memorial.

The committee representing all of the
departments OF the railroad shops held an
other meeting last night, and formulated
plans tor carrying out their determination
TO erect q statue of the late A. ]. Stevens in
this city. 1t was Gecided to hold mass
meeting of employees of the company on
Thursday or Friday evening of next week,
due notice OF which will be given. The
committee has addressed the following cir
auiar to the employees of the Southern Pa
cilic Railroad and Central Pacific Railroad ::
" The A. J. Stevens Memorial Associa-
ton has decided to erect q monument over
the grave of our late General Master Me-
chanic a. J. Stevens. This decision meets
the approval of many who are equally de-
sirous of perpetuating the memory of the
champion of Pacific coast labor by the
erection of a statue in some conspicuous
place where the general public may be re-
minded of his many coed qualities, and of
the respect ne deserved and won from those
over whom he held the trying and respon-
sible position of General Master Mechanic
for so many years. There are also quite a
number of wOrkmen who, feeling unable
to appropriate from their scant funds
money for both purposes, are especially de-
sirous of having the amount they can con-
tribute invested in statue of enduring
marble or bronze, erected in the city which
was the scene of the most active years Of
bis life. a committee has been organized
for the purpose of making arrangements
for mass meeting of employees in Sacra-
mentO, when permanent committee will
be selected to perfect and carry out the idea
Of erecting statue or bust of our late
Master Mechanic in Sacramento. We
earnestly request you, our fellow-work-
men, to take such steps as you deem best to
assist in accomplishing the above-named
object, and report the result to the commit
tee in Sacramento at your earliest convent

The ingenious Yankee who
invented Wigwam Slippers
doubtless got his first idea
from the Indians. However
that may be, the slipper as
now perfected shows that he
had some radical ideas of his
own as to comfort, and what a
slipper should be to give sat
islaction in wear. 1t will be
noticed that all the seams are
sewed on the outside, leaving
the insldes as smooth as glass.
Unlike any other leather slip
per that we have ever seen or
heard of, the thick, light col
ored leather is pressed stiff
into shape, which adds greatly
to comfort and GOODNESS.
It's mere novelty" some
may say. We think it is more
than that. We think the Wig
wan Slipper has come to stay.
There's nothing we know of
that equals it for summer wear.

few DAYS ago. Chief Lee detailed officer
Arlington to work up the case ard yester-
day morning that officer recovered the
stolen property at the house of Samuel
Gale, the colored whitewasher The Jewels
had been taken by Emil Gale, a boy 10
years of age, who is the adopted son Of
Samuel Gale. When the latter learned
that the boy was suspected he rendered the
officers all the assistance in his power to
find the property, and produced The boy.
Gale had been at work at Mr.. Gardeners
house, and the boy who was with him,
found the rings hung 6pon nail in the
dining-room. He says be did not know
they were Of any value He was detained
at the Station house, BUTT is doubtful if he
is prosecuted owing to his youth.
