for he would be able to predict my
action, which is more than | can clio
myself. Perhaps his coming would
disturb the intellectual economy OF
of the world. He will not come.
The other day you told me wrath
fully that an editor told you that he
would readily give Browning five dol
lars line for copy of verses which
he would not print if he were forced
to withhold the poets name at the
bottom, and were certain that the
secret of the authorship would not
leak out. Blame the editor no longer
as "purblind, and sordid, and com
mercial," but recognize that he
frankly admits his human fallibility,
and say, Brother, | too am falllble; :
for I myself, the arbiter of literary
reputation, | the average man, say
boldly that I should not read the
verses unless the name were append
ed Atlantic Monthly.

The STORY OF THE PSALMS. By Hen
ry Van Dyke, author of "rhe
Reality of Religion. 16mo; gilt
top; $1.00. New York: Chas.
Scribner's Sons.
This book contains some very
beautiful thoughts on the psalms.
"There is no book in the Bible" says
the author, "that lies so near the
great throbbing heart of the world.
Its humanity is no less manifest, no
less potent, than its divinity. There
is life in it; and life is always inter
esting.' In this spirit, the writer
tells the story of some of the psalms.
Says the Diocese of June: "That
useful fortnightly magazine, Spring
field (Mass.) Good Housekeeping, is
tempting everybody to solve the ana
grams they are publishing with an
elegant forty dollar fruit dish or des-
sert set, fourteen dollar oil stove, a
ten dollar Worcester dictionary, a
nine dollar dictionary holder, one
hundred ever blooming rose bushes,
a silver plated, self pouring coffee
pot, five dollar box of soap for fam
lily use, twelve dollar cabinet of
favoring extracts, with many prizes
of less value. They do not require
that the person sending the solutions
shall be subscriber, but invite
everybody to solve them. All news
dealers sell Good Housekeeping.

The Average Mans Verdict.

I am of average intelligence, aver
age culture, average income, average
preiudices. | hit the juste milieu.
What prompts me to buy a magazine?
l approach the question the more
readily because, as the Congregation
alist ministers say nowadays, when
they approach the discussion of the
use of ritual, "my position on this
point is, on the whole, meliorating
one." buy on impulse.
No doubt the craving for good lit
erature influences me in the long run,
and no doubt am influenced by per-
sistent advertising in particular
purchase; but neither of these mo-
tives counts for much in swaying my
average mind. l open the magazine
on the counter of some bookstore, or
as it alights in my lap with whirl
from the deft hand of the train-boy.
] take it up because | have some
pleasant associations with the color
of the cover, or with the name. If
in the list of writer's | see some name
which awakens in me "reminiscences
of a pleasant quarter of an hour, |
give my money. IT'S little matter
decides me.
Do not say that / buy for the sake
of amusement, and must be guaran-
teed beforehand. l enjoy the flavor
of delicate viands, but | am shy of
new cooks. Nor can anybody pre-
dict that new dish will please me.
Therefore, angry writer, blame no
longer the patient editor who rejects
your story, which you are sure l
would like and buy. | am inscru-
table. One can judge of extremes,
but not of the average man. Con-
slider well that if anyone could pre-
dict my likings, such an one would
not long remain an editor, nor even a
publisher. He who could read a
novel in manuscript and say, "The
average man will buy this. Print
thirty thousand;" he who could ac-
curately cast the horoscope of a
book, would be possessed of the "po-
tentiality of wealth beyond the
dreams of avarice," He would be
daily more valuable than all writer's,

Horrible Tragedy.

CHICAGO, July 31.-A horrible double trag-
edy wasbrought to light shortly after mid
night by the police, when the dead bodies
Of Henry Heesh, retired saloon keeper,
and his wife were found in their apartments
at No $50 south Sangamond street. Both
the Heeshes were we'll past middle age and
we're looked upon by their neighbors as o
happy couple. They were last seen Satur.
dry evening sitting on the front stoop. Sun
day morning the newsboy left the paper
and the milkman the days supply of milk.
Lying neglected at the back door of the
aat, these objects first attracted the atten-
lion Of the neighbors. Late last night one of
the neighbors notified the police and two Of
6cers were sent to investigate. They broke
open the front bedroom door and sickenipg
sight met their view. In the alcove OF the
bedroom, lying in pool Of blood, lay the
bJdy of Mrs. Heesh clad in night dress.
Proceeding to the next room the officers
perceived rope tied over the top of the
door frame. A vigorous push at the door
anu IL DuIst opsu duu Inc OuCer WIS DeaTIy
knocked off his feet by the body OF Heesh
which was hanging suspended, the feet al
most touching the foor. Near by a sheet of
newspaper, daubed with blood, and butch
er's knife suggested the story of the double
tragedy. Heesh had evidently first killed
his wife, then wiped the knife, cut off
piece of rope exactly long enough to reach
from the door knob on the inside over the
door frame and to allow sufficient space for
himself to hang. He had tied the rope, shut
the door and proceeded to his self murder.
No reason can be assigned for the tragedy.
Everything around the room bespoke of
comfort and there was no Indication of
struggle prior to the murder and suicide.

The Presidents Return.

WASHINGTON, July 31.-The President,
Postmaster General Dickinson and Col. D.
s. Lamont arrived in Washington at Z
o'clock this morning. There was small
crowd of travellers In the station, but the
President passed through almost unrecog-
nizsd except by the railroad officials. He
and Col. Lamont were driven to the White
House. They are both very much sunburn-

Island with only one or two stops. The
President went on board the Susquehanna

These stories about his visits to various
places on the route are untrue. He did not
take meal off the yacht and there was no
one 10 the party at any time except those
who were with Us when we left New York.
We caught lots of fish ard had a splendid
time all though. The President caught his

member of the Continental Congress in 1775,

the assembling of Congress, the British gov
eminent outlawed John Hancock and Mr.

country was intense He being a member
of Congress from the Bay State, appeared at
the first meeting of the new Congress and
was nominated az its president amidst great
commotiop, whereupon Benz Harrison said
that "they would show mother Britain how
little they cared for her by choosing Mas

been excluded from pardon by proclama-

wife, and who protested against his MARI

O'Nell's influence secured q delay in the
protests sent through the mails to the arch.
bishop and other officers OF the Catholic
Church In st. Louis protesting against the

tion has been demanded of the Postmaster
General. The appeal taken to Cardinal
Gibbons lie on the ground that sufficient
protest was made to the officers of the church
by telegraph, and The Cardinal promises to
bring the case up in the church for trial if
there is no recourse to law. The United

that there is DO Law in the District of Co.

UNPARALLELED HORSE STEALING.-A
dispatch from Chicago says "a sixteen
year old robber, whose achievements in the
horse stealing line are unparalleled in this
part Of the country, was captured on Sum-
day. His name, he says, is Edward Brown,
of Kendall county, Texas He came about
the 9th of June with carload of Texas po-
pies, and when his friends had sold their
stock and returned home he formed the &C
quaintance of Charles Crane, aged nineteen,
also hailing from Texas, to whom he pro-
posed to go into the horse stealing business
on a large scale, being convinced that 1t
would be very profitable. A business part
nership was formed between the two Tex.
ans aud barn rented in the west side of
the city that would hold about twenty hor-
ses. Nightly forages were begun and were
successful. The boys hired Eve men as
grooms, bought hay by the ton and oats by
the Car load. In less than twenty.four hours
after they had started in business they had
stolen five horaes and sold three of them for
a liberal price.

TREASURE TRoyE-Louis sicotte .

TREASURE TRovE.-Louis sicotte, a rich
farmer of Boucherville. some thirty miles
from Montreal, Canada, while near his out.
building perceived something eittering in
the ground. He found that his chickens in
searching for food had unearthed treasure Re-
moving little more of the earth he uncovered
and lifted handful of mOney-pieces OF French
Mexican and American coinage, none Of then,
dated later than 1887 and some rs early as 1726
It is thought that this money must have been
buried during the troubles of 1887. The then
proprietor Of the land was brother Of Mr. Lou;
Hypolite Lsfontsine he was a we'll to. do Cana
dian, and, doubtless fearing pllage during the re-
bellion, deposited the sum discovered Another
theory is that, in accordance with the old custom
of farmers the money was buried instead Of bank
ed, and forgotten. In any case Mr. Scotte, with
pair Of scales, found that he had twenty-five
pounds weight of money, the value of which i.
about $4,000.

Members of the republican State commit.
tee express surprise at the impolitic tone of
Mahone's recent letter to Chairman D. F.
Houston, of the State committee of the anti
Malone wing of the party. These gentle
men say that at the recent meeting of the
Malone committee at Petersburg an agree
ment was arrived at that Malone should
communicate with Mr.. Houston and offer
to submit the selection of electors in the dis.
puted districts to the congressional conven-
tions In said districts. The way in which
Gen Malone carried out this idea, however,
has irritsted some of the more conservative
members of the party. These gentlemen
think that Malone in his correspondence
with Houston was more anxious to hit the
kickers hard blows than to oonciiate them
and bring about harmony In the party.
