Got the Senator's Signature.

From the NelC York Mail and Express.
Reporters are not the worst fellows in the
world after all, as the following story viii
show. 1t was during the last session of the
legislature and one of the members had
sent a message to his home which message the
young lady operator had failed to read cor
rectly. Her mistake had occasioned the senator
a good deal of annoyance and some loSs and to
revenge himself on the operator he had had her
discharged The poor girl was seen by re-
porter as she was leaving the telegraph Office,
her eyes filled with tears and he was not long
in finding out what occasioned them. He con-
soled the girl as best he could, and at once
made break for the senator.
See here. senator" he said, running up
against that gentleman in the hotel corridor;
that young girl who failed to read your
message correctly has been discharged"
Il know it, and good job it is, too What
right had she to make my message, i will be
home tonight read i will be home to fght?"
"Oh, well, senator, mistakes will happen, you
know. and want you to withdraw your COM
plant and have her reinstated."
81 will not"
"Oh, yes you will"
'But say won't"
But know you will. You are going to sign
a telegram will write to the superintendent of
the company asking for her reinstatement"
Il tell you am not"
'Then hereafter, senator, every speech you
make | will report verbatim, and if you think
you can afford to send home to your constit-
uents the records containing such"
Say no more" broke in the senator, 'write
the message; I'll sign it
And he did.

Breckinridge's Shrewd Move.

Representative Breckinridge, of Arkan-
saS, has introduced half dozen bills or
more, which make interesting reading for
those who are concerned in trusts. His
purpose is to greatly reduce the duties on
articles monopolized by trusts. He is after
the bagging trust, the sugar trust and a
good many other trusts which are now
engaged i'll filling the pockets of few
monopolists at the expense Of the people.
Mr.. Breckinridge's bills have been sent
to the ways and means committee, and
he is busy preparing reports upon
them. The probability is they will find
great favor in the House. They are just
bills, and the purpose of them is good. If
the democrats give them a united and
harmonious support, the republicans will
be forced into very unpleasant position.
They can't afford to favor them, and it will
be very unpopular to oppose them. To
favor them would be to acknowledge the
necessity for tariff reduction, and to oppose
them would be defending trusts, and trusts
just now are mighty unpopular. The
republicans are close to very big hole, and
the chances are that Mr.. Breckenridge will
soon have them in it,

The latest sensation in New York is the
story that Fred Gebhard has sailed for
Europe on account of i'll health. An "inti-
mate friend" tells the Star that Ge5hard is
suffering from melancholia, and brain affec-
ton is feared. He is greatly distressed be-
cause of the loss of some of his favorite
horses lately in a railroad accident, and has
become subject to spells of crying in public.
Mrs. Langtry, it is stated, would have ac-
companied him, but her engagements in
this country prevented her from doing so.
Tho intimate friendn is authority for the
further statement that Mr.. Goddard is
greatly devoted to Mrs. Langtry, and the
actress is equally as devoted to him. 1t
seems, however, that Gebhard's affection
for his horses predominates.

The World is Very Funny

FROM GOo6utES sun.
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 life q burden when it should
be bliss sublime.
He who earns thousand merely,
Thinks two thousand dollars yearly
Would be just the figures to make happiness
complete;
But his income when it doubles
Only multiplies his troubles,
For his outgo then increasing makes his both
ends worse to meet.
1t is run in debt and borrow,
Flush to-day and broke tomorrow
Financiering every which way to postpone the
day Of doom;
Spending money ere he makes it,
And then wondering what takes it,
Till he, giving up the riddle, looks for rest within
the tomb.
Oh this world is very funny
To the average man whose money
Doesn't quite pay for the dancing that he does
before he should
And he kills himself by trying
Just little higher flying
Than is suited to his pocket and his own eternal
good

While the colored people of Ausbry Park
were worshiping, the other day, a fat wor
shipper created a sensation by series of
loud screams and wild gesticulations. The
cause of her fright was soon ascertained.
A long black snake was noseleSsly making
its way down the aisle, and when the snake
was discovered by other worshipers the
fat woman's screams became blended with
those of other fat women and some lean
ones. Some of the men stood on the seats
to show that they were not frightened, and
finally the command went forth from the
preacher: "Bruise dat ar sarpint's head w
A half dozen brogans tried to obey orders,
but the snake disappeared from view and
services were resumed They were again
interrupted by the snake, however, and
this time colored man, more valiant than
the others, dispatched 1t. The black snake
is not venomous, but it can cause a commo-
tion in church.

The invitations to Mr.. Thurman to visit
and speak in different sections of the coun-
try are so humorous, and the rumors con-
corning his intended movements are so con
flicting, that the Baltimore S1tn did the
proper thing in interviewing him on the
subject. Here is what Mr.. Thurman SAYS,
in effect: He will speak in New York, but
cannot do so in September, as he is expected
to do some of the honors of the centennial
celebration i'll Columbus during that
month. The telephone case, in which he is
will come up Oct. Q. and shortly after
ward he will go to New York, and will
also visit Indiana. He is strongly urged to
go TO California, but saws he cannot, as the
trip would take up all of October. Concsrn-
ing the Chinese question, he saws: 81 visited
California in 1869. 1t was then that saw

working on the railroads. and made up my
mind that the government would have to
stop their migration to this country. That

a new one to me, and wanted to be sure Of
my words. | laid out the course | have
always maintained in regard to that que,-
tion. That was four years before the legis-
lature of California petitioned congress to
restrict the immigration. Gen. Harrison's
course has been the exact opposite, though
now he is declaring against the heather
Chinese as much as anybody"

WASHINGTON, Aug. GA report was pub
lished in Washington this morning which,
although it did not warranb such an interpreta-
ton, caused considerable popular excitement
1t was understood to assert that, in a confer
ence between Drs Hamilton of the marine hos
pital service, and TownShend, health officer of
the District of Columbia, steps were taken to
establish n quarantine here against all points
south infected with yellow fever and to pre-
vent all persons from such places from re
naming in Washington A part of this re-
port was true and part was not, and
the news was not SO stated in the morning
papers At a conference on Saturday between
the gentlemen named II was agreed to have
passengers from infected districts inspected
before their arrival in this city and also that
they he requested u inform the health officers
of their addresses while here in order that they
might be carefully watched during their stay.
This morning the arraugem ant was completed.
DIR. Stratton, formerly health inspector at
Richmond, was appointed to-day ahd he will
board all trains from the south before they
enter Washington, and obtain the information
as directed above.
This afternoon Supt. Park of the Pennsyl-
vania rallruaI, cahed az surgeon General Ham
itonS Office TO ascertain what authority the
latter had for announcing that inspectors would
be placed on that compopy's trains. DR.. Hamil-
ton quietly informed him that he did so by the
authority OF the government.
Mr.. Pdrk-But we don't recognize the govern
ments authority in this case.
Dr. Hamilton-That doesn't interest me.
Mr. ParS-But suppose We refuse 10 allow
your inspectors TO board our trainsy
Dr. Hamilton-I eau decide what course |
shall pursue when that happens
Mr.. Park-l don't see, then. that we are under
any obligations to observe any Of your resolu-
tions.
DIR. Hamiton-I should advise you not to raise
a controversy with the government over this
matter.
Mr.. Park-The laws OF Virginia will protect
us. and we sh1ll not allow any of your inspec-
tors TO enter our trains at Alexandria.
DIR. Hamilton very cooly)-Then shall order
your trains halted at Long Bridge until the in
spection can be made
This reply caused a remarkable change In the
tone OF Mr.. Parks conversation, and he seemed
at once anxious TO enter into amicable arrange
ments with DR.. Hamilton. The result has been
mentioned above.

A diagram printed lately in several news
papers shows the thirty-six principal causes
Of the 1900 dwelling house fires during the
years 1854 1886. 1t appears that the
greatest number were traced TO defective
hles, while incendiarism, forest and prairie
fires, matches, sparks, explosions of lamps,
gas jets, carelessness and fire works, in the
order named, are partly responsible for this
destructive work. Tramps, hot ashes and
cigar stumps are by no means free from
responsibility. The three causes of the
smallest number of fires are, in the order
named, bonfires, children playing with fire,
and defective lightning apparatus.

tion Of Erie the other day, giving as his

labors of another term in congress. His ill

SCOTS mouth, to offset the statement, the
following words: 1--WE can never control
the workingman until he eats to-day
what he will earn to o-morrow." Peunsyl-
vania republican named Mobiles says he

cocted by Mobiles in connection with the
matter. AT any rate, Scott is not running

THEY WILL NOE DIsBaND.

The Tribe only Obi ects to Paying 8 Large Sum For the Privilege o1 Aoaning Money to the Connecticut Grand LOdge-They Will However Abide by the Decision of the Great Council.
 Prominent members of Hammonassett tribe of Red Men of this city pronounce as
 wide of the mark the report that there is trouble in their midst. There is no truth whatever in the report that the tribe is to disband. The facts are simply these: Generally there is a tax of fifty cents per capita per year assessed on every member of lodge. The money goes to the running expenses of the Grand lodge. This year the Connecticut Grand lodge raised the assess ment to $1.20.
 Some time ago Hammonassett tribe loaned certain sum of money to the Grand lodge. The latter desired at the end of the year to make big showing and say all their debts were paid. For this reason the tax per cap- ita was raised. The assessment on Hammon- assett tribe has been $135: this time it is S325.2O. The tribe protested against this inasmuch they were getting no interest on the money the tribe had loaned, but were virtually paying $100 out of their own treas- ury for the privilege of loaning the money. The tribe has been under the jurisdiction of the Mas >sachusetts council, but this year it is under that of this State
 The tribe has appointed committee to lay the matter before the Great council and to also wait on the Massac husetts council pro- testing against what they term outrageous treatment. The members say that the mat ter will be satisfactorily settled. They will pay the tax if obliged to and will not dis band, as has been reported There hasn't been thought of such move
